It is your problem to deal with. I have better things to do. Keep your assumption if you please. Bye |

2 | when did it rain for the first time? | Genesis | nosajrob | 14059 | ||
I know not what you are saying "PRESUPPOSITIONS of science". I did not mention science. In fact I have never read a scientific arguement concerning this issue. But then add what you will. I know nothing of why it should be entered other than if this unfounded fact is that important to you. What I do know is that there is no proof that there was no rain before Noah's day. I again submit that it was not rain that was the answer God gave to man's failure in Noahs day. It was judgment by rain. That in fact is true wheather it rained before or not. You are correct it is the absence of rain that is mentioned. Scripture does not, I repete does not say that it never rained until the flood. That is surely an assuption. Again the important thing is that God has in the past judged sin, and he will continue to do so. There is coming a judgment by fire. Remember, fire is a good thing. However, to be burned by it is not desirable. To be judged by it is a reality. |

3 | when did it rain for the first time? | Genesis | nosajrob | 14052 | ||
Thanks for your reply, bjanko. However, your arguement is an argument from silence. Not mine as rain is menioned in Genesis 2:5. It tells us in fact the reason ("for" by the way is a purpose statemen) rain was needed, and when God sent it. It was needed for growth of herbs, and sent when God had created man. That is the way it seems. No where does it say that it never rained until the flood. Does it? That is the assuption so many make. Rain was not the problem in the days of Noah. Judgment was. God used rain to bring that about. That it rained was not the judgment. People did not die because rain came. There was just so much of it. Rain itself is a good thing. People pray God will send the needed amount of it. People also pray that they will not receive to much of the good stuff. Thanks again. |

4 | Who is refered to? | John 1:13 | nosajrob | 14050 | ||
Very good stuff, Nicodemus. I believe you are right in the discussion of the new birth. It is indeed a gift. The verse in question could refer to Christ in that He was not born becasue man willed it to be. Looking close though there is a phrase in John 1:13 that might settle the matter; "Which were born". This phrase being plura would fit best a referance to the believer. I did not notice that before. Thanks for your reply. |

5 | Read and Heed | Neh 13:1 | nosajrob | 13989 | ||
Notice the context after this verse. It is not enough to read. We must heed. It is not enough to know. We must obey. James 4:17 (KJV) Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin. James 1:22 (KJV) But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. |

6 | when did it rain for the first time? | Genesis | nosajrob | 13988 | ||
With all respect, let me respond. I noticed one response left out part of a verse. Another used the entire verse, like this... "Gen 2:5 Now no shrub of the field was yet in the earth, and no plant of the field had yet sprouted, for the LORD God had not sent rain upon the earth, and there was no man to cultivate the ground." One response left out the part "there was no man to cultivate the ground" when quoting this verse. Those eight words are important. They, at least, appear to add a prospective to the situation. It appears that God did not send rain until there was a man (Adam) to cultivate. It is most likely that it did rain before the great flood of Noah's day. The situation at the beginning of the flood was not surprise that it rained for the first time. Rather it was surpise that Noah was right. God sent judgment. While being correct about "when it first rained" is not the most important matter. It does seem that God told us what he wanted us to know in Genesis 2:5. When there was one to care for God's creation; it rained. We are reminded "God judges." Question: If you believe that God did not send rain until the flood; do you also believe the part about "no shrub of the field was yet in the earth, and no plant of the field had yet sprouted?" If not, why not? If you do, then are you saying plants (which were for food) did not grow up until the flood. I believe it rained in the days of Adam long before the flood. It caused herbs to grow up. God gave the keeping of the earth to Adam, and sent judgment in the days of Noah. Makes sense. Doesn't it? |
