1 | Noah and his family | 1 Pet 3:20 | prayon | 6046 | ||
Genesis 6:13 says that God was determined to make an end to ALL flesh, however, Noah had found favor with the Lord (Gen 6:8). God instructed Noah to take his household, Noah, his wife, their 3 sons and the sons wives, into the ark, for Noah alone was righteous before God (Gen 7:1). Genesis 7:23 tells us that the God blotted out every living thing that was on the face of the ground, human beings and animals...only Noah was left and those in the ark. It was a physical salvation. We now know that this did truly take place in the physical because God has allowed the ark to be found on the top of Mt Arafat. prayon | ||||||
2 | Noah and his family | 1 Pet 3:20 | reformedreader | 6050 | ||
prayon, With all due respect sir, I think we know this to be true because God stated it to be a fact, not because we (allegedly) found the ark on the top of Mt. Arafat. (Arafat is the name of a Palestinian leader, the ark rested upon the mountains of Ararat) Although this did happen in the flesh, it is also a "type" of spiritual salvation. The ark represents Christ, Noah and his family representing the human race (literally), the waters have a unilateral meaning. Water was used to destroy and to cleanse, representing the washing of regeneration when the old man dies and the new man becomes alive. This is the Spirit's baptism, not a water baptism. The waters both destroyed and cleansed the earth and the waters never touched Noah and his family but by faith they were saved by the same waters that destroyed all other life. Sam Hughey |

Sam, forgive me for the mispelling - I definitly meant Ararat. I went on the assumption that we already knew it to be true because it is in the bible and God said it. Something I should not of done. Please forgive me. Thank you for your new insight on the spiritual salvation. We all learn new things every day. By the way I am not a "sir". :o) prayon | ||||||

prayon, I wasn't attempting to be critical of your spelling, I just wanted to point it out in case you hadn't noticed. My spelling is not always what it should be either. Assumptions can be dangerous, especially when assuming biblical theology on any given issue. This has permeated the church today to such an extent that learning scripture has been left to the theology of assumption and the doctrine of emotions. One may "assume" whatever "feels" right and therefore it becomes "biblical". No personal criticism is intended with this statement, only an observation of what is going on in the body of Christ today where a theological education is all but erased from many churches.
