“Trying to force scripture into a more literal interpretation than a natural reading is bad hermeneutics.”
So isn’t failure to compare scripture with scripture. Both Peter and the writer of Hebrews interpreted all and every within the context of Genesis to mean all and every. Only Noah and his family and the animals in the ark were saved. All other living flesh died in the judgment of flood.
Heb 11:7, “By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.”
1Pe 3:20, “Which so metime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.”
2Pe 2:5, “And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;”
I am fully aware of those passages but I am not going to further misdirect this thread into a global vs. local flood thread. I’ll refer you here if you are curious at looking into it more. Suffice it to say there are MANY other passages that have to be answered. From scripture alone it is hard to support global flood when ALL passages are considered. From scripture and a believers look at science it is impossible to support a global flood at least within the young earth interpretation.

That said if all can mean all the world can mean less than all of planet earth as it did in the Roman tax, quoting more passages that say all, really isn’t arguing anything new at all.
