Flood - worldwide or local?

[Miri]

Not sure if anyone else has mentioned this, but there are a lot of theories that
the ice age followed the flood. No one really seem to know what caused the ice age,
but take a took on the internet and there are ideas that it would have needed lots and lots
of water, a saturated earth, cooling temperatures which could have been caused by a flood etc.
Sooo who knows maybe Noah found his world freezing over after the flood.

The ice age is a global thingy too, just like the flood.


Oops, now I've given everyone something else to argue....err debate about. Lol

PS the fall caused catastrophic consequences on planet earth, so did the flood and the
ice age.

sometimes its not even the whole account in context but one simple word miss translated that can send folks off in wonderland.

If I grow from or if I grew from, there is a difference in the wording of things. One simple word can throw the whole context off.

This is true, And at the same time, People can take a word that can be translated various ways, And translate it based on their belief, and not the context of the way it is actually used.

It is believed,the grand canyon was formed as a result of a world flood receding suddenly.

or two large lakes which were formed by the flood. Actually suffering a catastrophic failure, and when they drained, they formed the canyon in a matter of days or weeks. not millions of years.

History, geology.

Your theory is proven how? Just by a literal reading of the Bible?

lol.. The same history and geology you use to speculate I believe proves me also.

Proven? You will never PROVE either theory,, Thats why they are called theories. No one was there, all we can do is speculate.

Yea ok,, let's just forget about all those huge craters around the world, I guess people just got bored and started digging. Or maybe the flood cause these too. Like Lazarus was this, Lazarus was that, Lazarus did this and so on.

I agree same here I do the same thing, when I here someone say the whole earth was flooded and the earth is only 6,000 years old or flat or doesn't spin etc. I question it as well. But I don't always say that is what science teaches, the bible teaches me as well to think logical of things and along with God who can also do the impossible that includes the least logical or the least noticeable or the least recognized.

Albino's ever wonder why this happens in almost every living thing on earth, from people to animals to planets. yet why is this, I'm not one to believe it's from sin.

amen, we should all question,, That's how we figure things out in our own minds.

God is not going to punish us if we got the age of the earth wrong..lol (I believe it is older than 6000 years. But I am still a young earth advocate)

So if there was an ice age why wasn't it mentioned in the bible? Noah and his family would have been involved in this wouldn't they?

This is actually a photo of a crater on the moon. There's a land rover in there somewhere with a digging attachment.

What,ultimately,creates a need for a local flood?????

Why does it NEED to be local???

What doctrine is threatened by a world wide flood????

in the same token, If we really think, what doctrine is threatened by a local flood..

However, I believe a global flood answers so many more questions

Like saying evening and morning but not mentioning night or day within the same context. Thus a complete 24 hour day. Same thing with the flood half detailed and lacking full explaination. Why IMO they didn't have the vocabulary to do so.

this depends on interpretation.

I believe the global flood is not missing any information. It says all life which breathed are died.. Unless you think any there was a whole part of the earth which had no flesh living in it,, Then it must be a global flood..

Also.. What do you think of a one continent theory pre-flood?

science used to say the earth was flat.

It would be foolish to think Science has proved everything.. Many well known and well educated scientists also believe in a global flood. Do we just say they do not know what they are talking about?

I completely agree and I won't say my theory is 100% not at all, but I do believe any thing is possible with God. 6days or 14.4 billion or all in one breath. saying that scripture does say in a breath he created all the stary host so there's a scratcher to length of creation. Is This saying God breath is six days long or six days is the length of God breath.

There is snow mentioned in the bible..

An ice age does not mean the whole earth was covered.. Not even science teaches this.

Amen, Saying God is incapable of shining a light from a distant star on earth the day it was created, is saying God has limits.

It does not prove he did it this way, Just shows it is possible.

Which is why mocking people of either belief is a waste of time,

I like this interesting so where did you get all this info from, is all this written in the bible about India, China, Americas mentioning there was a global flood no of coarse not. It's using the secular world view clarifying your bible view of the flood. Isn't that the pot calling the kittle black. Ok for you to use secular info but God forbid anybody else use it.

wish we could use the bible but rome destroyed most of those scriptures. did they mention the flood, we will never know.
where does the bible forbid us to read history?

Philippians 4:8
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.

Worldwide, The lord spoke about in Genesis how he will blot out man whom he created from the face of the land. Besides noah who found favor in the eyes of the lord, mankind was very wicked during those times.

 

[trofimus]

How can anyone read the account,understand all the mountains were covered,and then convince themselves the flood was local?

Easily. You must leave your 21st century idea of our planet out.

Do not take this description like if it was made from the Earth orbit, from ISS. It was made from the ground in the middle east. If you will look at the text by their eyes, you will see how it can be read this way very easily.... They really did not mean the Mt. Everest.

I agree the beginning of science is just a theory until it's proven to be science of reality. Surely there are more scienctist that don't believe it was global flood. But on the other hand the earth is way bigger than the waters on it, so if some water came from the depts of earth locked up in rocks etc.. it wouldn't take very much to flood the dry land. Really all the oceans of the world is like a small puddle to the earth, there isn't really that much water on earth compared to the earths size. We live on the surface of the earth only which isn't very much mass compared to the whole mass of earth.
