If Noah never built an ark, then how are there still animals?

Especially since the old testament is full of references and literary devices which were commonly understood by people living more than 2000 years ago but which are not understood today.

[spurraider21]

An expression or phrase is different than the story of the creation of earth and mankind

[angrydude]

Example: large numbers were not meant to be taken literally in the old testament. Large numbers were used to signify "big".

Taking that knowledge, one has to wonder what the God meant when he said "day" before the earth even existed.

A single revolution around the sun as measured on earth which didn't exist yet?
A general phrase for a period of time?
A day as signified by some other measuring reference?

Nobody can say for sure. Ambiguity exists. That's ok. that's the point. That's why faith is needed.

Yes by "day" he meant 4 billion years lol. Don't give me that inherit the wind bull .

Because they called someone baldy?

You could spin it that they were disrespecting a prophet.

This is also the culture that killed someone for picking up sticks on the Sabbath.

God also liked genocide back then too.

Different strokes for different folks I guess

Yeah, God/Jesus is a pretty sick bas .

not sure why you would listen to him at all

Are we also not to take literally the fact that God allowed for slavery and called for the death penalty for sexuals?

You aren't supposed to take literally anything that hurts a bible thumpers argument

[angrydude]

The bible is full of inherent contradictions.

The meek don't inherit the earth.
peacemakers aren't blessed. They're killed.
Those who mourn are often never comforted.
the merciful are rarely shown mercy.

If you only use your left brain when interpreting the bible, you're gonna have a bad time.

He clearly did. Whether he meant for that to apply to us today is a whole different issue. On that one I'm gonna have to go with no.

Pretty sure that's what the devil thought too.

Based on your posts, God appears to be a moody, violent that changes his mind on a whim.

I'd say it's possible that satan told Jesus his sandals were ugly and that was enough to burn for eternity

No, never blamed a magic man. Only blamed her.
