Dear Xina, You wrote "...so when Noah sends out the raven and it doesn’t really return are we to presume its newly become a scavenger due to the likely near fast aboard the arc." (sic) I'd suspect there was a lot to scavenge after the deluge. With regard to your other questions, I think you are approaching the creation story too allegorically. That can be a serious problem. Unless the Scripture gives us the authority to read a narrative passage as an allegory, we do not have the freedom to do so. In Him, Doc |

2 | The raven (Gen 8:7)... | Gen 8:7 | xina | 182050 | ||
I'm not debating if it happened. I think even in life today when things happen there is a bigger, deeper than the surface facts element to them and since the accounts in the Bible are not accounts of every moment that took place I suspect they have particular relevance and if we don't look for them are we really looking for Him and His way? | ||||||

Dear Xina, Yes, we should look carefully at everything God has revealed (Matthew 4:4). However, some particulars are simply not provided (Deuteronomy 29:29). Therefore, we exercise caution to avoid going beyond what God reveals. You might find the following web site of interest. Dr. Hugh Ross is an active astronomer.

xina - Bravo! Keep on reading the Bible, and please feel free to share your Bible questions with us on this Forum. That's what it's all about, this Study Bible Forum. And let me suggest to you that you pray this segment from the Psalms each time you sit down to read from the Scriptures: "Open my eyes, that I may behold wonderful things from Your law" (Psalm 119:18). --Hank | ||||||
