$20 million Noah's Ark Display Will Show Drowning Sinners.

[Johny Joe Hold]

I was pleased to learn the new huge Noah's Ark tourist attraction in Kentucky will not be all nice and pleasant. It will include horrified human-like sinners just before they went under in the flood.

It will be a little tough for school kids to look at, but they should learn the truth: If you sin, you don't win.

I can't stand any church that tries to sugar coat the Bible. How else are our children supposed to be "God Fearing"? I am beyond thrilled they are going to have images of sinners drowning!! (Because that's what happened).

I hope they'll put in models of two of every species of animal to prove once and for all to the Darwinists that they all fit on the ark with plenty of room to spare.

What a load of BALONEY.



This is from the article:

"and some very narrow openings for light and ventilation"

Whaaaaaaat?

That is a non-biblical interpretation of Genesis. Here is how God told Noah to build the ark:

Genesis 6
14 Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch. 15 And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.
16A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it.

A window and a door. I see no other mention of openings, and trust me, that door was shut by God Himself, so you know it stayed shut until He said so!



Genesis 7
16 And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the Lord shut him in.

Later of course we read that Noah opened a SINGLE window:

Genesis 8
6 And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made.

That's it! Two openings. If they make any more than that they might as well be shoving caramel-coated candlesticks up the keester of Christ.

Drowning sinners is what the whole tale of the Ark is all about. Mess with God and you get killed. End of story.

Meanwhile, among the righteous survivors is such rigid morality that nigras even today are being punished for Ham looking on his father's nakedness. That's God's message to us. We need to start realising that if we screw up we are destroying the good fortune of our descendents forever. We must do as God tells us.

Do we need God to come up with somethg worse than AIDS and volcanos before we get the message?

Re: $20 million Noah's Ark Display Will Show Drowning Sinners.

I'm sceptical as to how Biblically accurate the ark is going to be. When questioned, the designers seemed to be just making things up.

How did eight people feed and clean up after several thousand wild animals? Conveyor belts. How did Noah pack enough food for everyone? He pelletized it. What kept all the animals from eating each other? The hand of God.

The last answer is a good one, though, but that stuff about conveyor belts and pellets doesn't come from the Bible. And it's disappointing that they have such a large crew working on the project. Noah, with perhaps the help of his three sons, built the ark by himself. They should have a crew of no more than four people working on this ark.

I was providing some writing and drawing materials the other day and checked what colours I'd need.

GENESIS 7
1 And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.
2 Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female.
3 Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.
4 For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth.
5 And Noah did according unto all that the LORD commanded him.
KJV

Are pterodactyls, unicorns, behemoths and the leviathan clean or unclean beasts? (They're quite big and if there's 7 pairs of each I'll need to get more grey paint - except the archæopteryx which is blue, they said).

Thanks.

According to Answers in Genesis, the archaeopteryx is a bird.

For many years, evolutionists have pointed to fossils of the iconic Archaeopteryx as the earliest example of birds evolving from reptiles. It was the quintessential “missing link,” though creationists countered that it was just a bird, similar to those flapping around today.

The archaeopteryx is not mentioned among the unclean birds.

Lev 11:13-19
13 And these are they which ye shall have in abomination among the fowls; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray,
14 And the vulture, and the kite after his kind;
15 Every raven after his kind;
16 And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind,
17 And the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl,
18 And the swan, and the pelican, and the gier eagle,
19 And the stork, the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat [yes, the bat is a bird, not a mammal].

Archaeopteryx would therefore be a "fowl of the air" (Gen 7:3), a clean animal. Noah would have had seven of them aboard the ark.

The unicorn, however, is unclean. Although the Bible doesn't list it as unclean, being a horse with a horn, it does not have cloven hooves and it does not chew the cud.

Lev 11:3-4a, 8 Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat. Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the hoof. Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch; they are unclean to you.

There would only have been two unicorns aboard the ark.

Although it flew, the pterodactyl was not a bird, or fowl. It had no feathers and when it walked on land, it walked on all fours instead of two legs like a bird.

One of the major differences between ancient, lizard-skinned pterosaurs and modern, feathered birds is that pterosaurs likely walked on four legs when they were on land, compared to birds' strictly bipedal postures. How do we know this? By the analysis of pterosaur footprints preserved alongside those of dinosaurs in fossilized trackways.

Neither Pteranodon nor Pterodactylus had feathers. As far as we know, pterosaurs were strictly reptilian in appearance, though it's conceivable that some odd species had feathers as well.

Being a reptile, the pterodactyl would come under the same class as behemoths and leviathans, which were dinosaurs (terrible lizards), and would therefore be unclean.

Lev 11:29-30 These also shall be unclean unto you among the creeping things that creep upon the earth; the weasel, and the mouse, and the tortoise after his kind, and the ferret, and the chameleon, and the lizard, and the snail, and the mole.

Noah would have had only two of each aboard the ark. You probably won't need much grey paint. Don't forget to put in dragons as well (unclean). Isn't it wonderful how Noah knew about clean and unclean animals about a thousand years before God gave the dietary laws to Moses?

the ossifrage

So ossifrages are not archæopteryges?

Apparently not. This is an ossifrage:



And this is an archaeopteryx:



Of course, no one's ever taken a picture of a live one. God brought seven of them to Noah to take aboard the ark only to let them die out soon after the Flood. But the Deluge left many of them fossilised. I'm sure that had the archaeopteryx been unclean, God would have included it in the list of unclean birds. Otherwise, how would Noah have known one thousand years earlier how many of which birds to take?

[MitzaLizalor]

Re: $20 million Noah's Ark Display Will Show Drowning Sinners.

Thank you for the pictures. God is always so clear in His Perfect Love.

How foolish those secular "scientists" must feel when they encounter The Truth.

Leviticus 11:20 All fowls that creep, going upon all four, shall be an abomination unto you.
KJV

God wouldn't have commanded Moses not to eat 4-legged birds if they didn't survive The Flood would He Mr Pendergast?
If pterodactyls were not birds then verse20 must be describing something else.

Indeed the microraptor, which you posted a picture of, was one of those four-footed birds. They must have survived for a while after the Flood, at least until Moses' time.

Lev 11:20 is another reason why one should use the KJV. The NIV claims that there were four-legged insects! Who ever heard of four-legged insects?

I think Noah must have been very strong for a 600 year old. It must have been incredibly difficult holding down and slashing the throat of an archeopteryx as a sacrifice to the LORD.

Genesis 8:20 and Noah builded an altar unto the Lord; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar. 21 And the Lord smelled a sweet savour;




I like this picture with all the animals patiently waiting for their turn. I think the alter must have been bigger than this one though if had to support an elephant.

Yes. In this documentary photograph they clearly show the dinossaurs getting on the arc right alongside everyone else.

They look a little smaller than I expected, but at least THEY'RE THERE!
