FOR AN EXCELLENT
8-MINUTE OVERVIEW OF
GENESIS 1-11

He had been on a boat over a year,,typical sailor on shore leave,,,

The text says he “planted a vineyard” and then drank from it.

The splendid mosaics from the Cappella Palatina, the Royal Chapel of the Norman Palace (#14 and #16), Palermo.
Always a visual delight to see the work of Ghiberti, #23 - Panel from the door of the Florence Baptistery, gilded bronze, 15th c. Today it is simply called the Door to Paradise (Porta del Paradiso) after Michelangelo, deeply impressed by Ghiberti’s work, said it was worthy to be at the entrance of Paradise. Of course there are other explanations for the name but not as popular as Michelangelo’s.

I try to include Ghiberti’s panels whenever I can.

Good Morning, Dan.:-)

More “proof” that nobody is perfect except God.

I know u guys love the insight..
What tree did Eve eat from? Surely not an apple tree. Jewish tradition is either pomegranate, Citron, or grapes. Of the opinion of grapes, the mystics say Noah was trying to elevate the “impurity” she caused through grapes....and failed.

Yep!

Since God did not think it important to reveal the type of fruit, I find speculating about it to be similarly unimportant.

G-d commanded “guard the Sabbath to keep it holy”.....[under pain of death] without elaborating. Care to speculate? ;)

Don’t bait me.

Note that the New Covenant scriptures record that Christ took a Nazarite vow at His last supper,and had that vow broken with the vinegar, and His own death, as the Passover Lamb..
Then rose the 3rd day as First Fruits of those who have fallen asleep.

He did reverse the curse from the garden. And lives forever more!
And restored a spiritual garden.
A garden, btw, that Satan was also allowed to corrupt again..

We’re discussing Noah.

Another non-sequitor: The angel Maroni fulfilled the scriptures.

You were discussing Noah’s failure.

I was discussing who didn’t fail reversing the curse of the garden..
Through the Nazarite vow and His death, burial and resurrection.

I don’t have any problem seeing the Tree of Life as a picture of an olive tree.
Or the tree of knowledge of good and evil being a picture of a grape..

Your mystics are in for a surprise

To quote Ravi Zacharias.. When the Messiah comes I’ll welcome him and ask, so, been here before?

I have a grape arbor and so does my neighbor. It takes several years between ‘planting’ and harvesting the first crop of grapes. ..............

The text assumes it’s obvious to readers that this incident occurred long after the Flood, thus emphasizing how difficult it was to find grounds for impugning Noah’s character. But Moses and the Spirit were determined to do so, in order to demonstrate conclusively Noah’s imperfection.
