Romans 5:14
Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.
(No death before Adam and Eve's sin.)
Matthew 19:4-5
And he (Jesus) answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?
(A quote from Genesis 1 through 11, oh the horror!!)
(Jesus probably didn't mean the beginning really meant the beginning though. He probably didn't mean to say that God made Adam and Eve, but they evolved.)
Ezekiel 14:20
Though Noah, Daniel, and Job were in it, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither son nor daughter; they shall but deliver their own souls by their righteousness.
(I'm sure the Holy Spirit speaking through Ezekiel didn't really think Noah and Job were real people, just a nice allegory.)
Luke 17:26-28 (Jesus speaking) (Oh that pesky Jesus again)
And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
(I'm sure he doesn't mean an actual global flood though.)
The earth is somewhere between 6,000 to 10,000 years old. There was a global catastrophic flood about 4400 years ago. Sorry folks, but that's what Jesus believed and I'm going with him, not you. You have to go with the eyewitness.
Destroyed who?
Sorry, not even worth replying to. You make a logical leap that just does not hold water. Where did Jesus say that the earth was 6,000 to 10,000 years old? Where does the Bible say that?
As for a worldwide flood, I suggest that you do a study on the word eretz.
I believe in a literal Adam and Eve. I believe in Noah and I believe that there was a flood. However, there is no reason to believe that it was global. A local flood confined to the area around the Black Sea or Mesopotamia (in other words, where humans were located) fits the record that God has given us, both in the Bible and in the record he has given us on earth.
Get back to me on the word eretz. I’m too tired of answering the same questions over and over again.
