Re: Ancient stone tablet confirms the historicity of Noah’s Flood

If any atheists try to deny the great flood, they can easily be proven wrong to their satisfaction. Stories of it abound in all corners of the world - Mesopotamia (Gilgamesh relates how an ark was built to save the people and animals), Babylon, India (another ark), Greece (Plato talks of yet another ark), even places as far away as Finland and China. Just google 'great flood'. Clearly it was all the one flood, and clearly all the arks were one ark - Noah's Ark. And the details changed slightly through Chinese whispers and incorporated into the heathen's folklore.

I it is important to remember that all those fairy tales you mention are simply copies of Bible facts.

Think about the time line involved: by definition those floods have to be locale floods that Bronze Age primitives just assumed were world wide.

Clearly different from the Noachian Flood.

The bible states that noah took 2 of every flesh. That means a man and woman of every race also.

The bible states that noah took 2 of every flesh...

Really? Where?

...That means a man and woman of every race also.

Define "race". Good luck!

You're mistaken, dear. The races didn't come about until after the Flood.

Re: Ancient stone tablet confirms the historicity of Noah’s Flood

I live here in Texas, far from civilization and among city Mexicans, all of whom are on some kind of Democrat government dole or another. Every hill in these parts is limestone and contains the remains of the marine creatures that flourished during the great flood.

The Gulf of Mexico is 150 miles away, but it's fishes and shell fish abound in these parts. How else could they have gotten here but in the time of Noah, when all the world was awash?

I, for one, and all other Christians need no proof, as it is all around us and in the scriptures. Perhaps this new news will help to break through the wall of satanic ignorance that surrounds the unsaved and help to bring a few of them to Jesus. We can only pray for it.

God Bless!

There was 2 floods. Because there was 2 influxes of fallen angels mixing with humans. Your mistaken. The races were created on the. 8th day. Along with the line that Jesus would come from. God had satan defeated from the creation

Scripture for any of that codswallop?

Re: Ancient stone tablet confirms the historicity of Noah’s Flood

The Genesis version of the Flood narrative is 100% accurate; even the polytheistic Hindus of India have a similarly corrupted version of Noah's flood in their mythological stories; a fish called Matsya, supposedly an avatar of Vishnu, forewarns Manu, analogous to Noah, about an impending catastrophic flood and orders him to collect all the grains of the world in a boat; along with all living creatures. When the flood destroys the world, Manu survives by boarding the ark, which Matsya pulls to safety. Clearly, the Genesis account isn't lost in different cultures albeit corrupted by individual civilizations post the Tower of Babel incident.

There is no way so many cultures living separately from each for such a long time could have had independent accounts of the Great Flood without it being real in some way. e.g. before the invasion of India by Alexander the Great in 327 BC, the country was isolated from the West, of course the Aryans, sons of Japheth, came down from the Steppe mountains and Caspian sea region in around 1500 BC but there was no cultural contact between ancient Indians and sons of Shem.

Fortunately we needn't look farther than the Holy Bible to know the real happenings in an era where any historical records would have been washed away in the floods.
