Taking on water rapidly.
Was Kosher in effect when the Genesis story actually took place?
No. But everything ate plants. Humans and animals all ate plants until they left the Ark.
God told them they can eat meat at that point.
Even Tigers didn’t eat meat. Everything ate plants, grasses, etc.
I see.
Well...that must’ve meant even more poop to shovel.
That zebra was the first thing to catch my eye. Horses will go up stairs, but they will not go down stairs. I imagine zebras are the same.
Reminds me of that joke where a teacher doubts that Jonah was real, or whether he was swallowed by a whale, and a kid says, “I’ll ask him when I get to Heaven.”
The teacher says, “What if Jonah didn’t go to Heaven?”
The kid says, “Well then, YOU ask him.”
XLNT
**Agree that the Ark was basically a floating basket...**
And which ever direction it spins is the way of less drag. And it would have been spinning if there was any current and/or wind.
I’ll stick with the rectangle.
I’m sure ramps were not beyond the ability of anyone building either kind of ark.
Seriously? You’ve never heard of a ‘cubit’?
It’s 3 handbreadths
It was a joke. Bill Cosby. I posted the routine.
So was mine- I assumed it would be funny if someone didn’t know ‘cubit’ it would not make sense to define it in terms of ‘spans’ or ‘handbreadths’
:)
In my head it was hilarious
LOL! I wasn’t sure where you were coming from.
😆🤣😂🤪 I think about that all the time.
But it does explain how animals that are now predators and animals that are now prey could be together.
When the World was so corrupt, part of the corruption was humans eating flesh before God allowed it.
neither am I
Exactly. Also, I double checked in the Bible I had when I was young. Has a picture of it right there.
No more tear down the church heresy.
I wonder why God allowed it, if it was previously ‘corrupt’....
I can’t even come close to understanding God’s ways.
But, I have to dumb it down to my way.
My children were not allowed to use a lighter at 5, or 10 years old, but later when they grew up, they were allowed and do.
It was corrupt because God didn’t say it’s ok.
It’s was ok in God’s time.
The forbidden fruit of the Tree of Knowledge “Man is now like us knowing good and evil.” really made humans lack controls or wild.
God was very “hands-on” for quite awhile with people.
That’s a great question you asked.
I think about stuff like that too. Sometimes I stop because I don’t want to offend God.
Just that sentence “Man is now like us, knowing good and evil.”
Who is “us”?
I respect your reverence and humility.
To me, a capricious, inconsistent God doesn’t seem very ‘God-like’, any more than a vengeful one does; but more like a fallible human dictator.
Maybe God never forbade eating flesh, and that He did was just some notion that men had...
Maybe it was the ‘royal We’.
(Just kidding...)
