Subject: What kind of bush was it when god spoke |
Bible Note: Doc, Cool bush. Literally. I did see a mistake in your naming the type of wood Noah used as Acacia but was called out as Gopher wood as in.... Gen 6:14 "Make for yourself an ark of gopher wood; you shall make the ark with rooms, and shall cover it inside and out with pitch. Not knowing what Gopher Wood is I think it may be a play on words. Because the Ark was so big, Noah was continually saying to his sons "Go Fer Wood". ;) What say ye? Sorry for posting so long after the fact but I was just perusing and thought it might be a fun post. "Jocularity" as Father Mulcahe used to quip on Mash. Also, I saw a Christian documentary on a potential ark resting place in Iran at a place called the saddle of Solomon. Very interesting find providing valued archealogical evidence proving the existence of Noah. Of course the scientific community rejects the theory but I was very intrigued as to what was discovered and photographed. Since then it appears the material this team brought back was verified to be actual petrified wood. Regardless it is decent evidence that might be used in arguing the Christian belief in the Bible as the absolute truth and inerrant Word of Yahweh. Of course even the miracles of Jesus will not persuade the unbeliever but it is exciting to be able to make the statement that the Ark has been found and now rests at coordinates, such and such. Someday in heaven I am gonna ask Noah what Gopher Wood was or is? Assuming that the size of the ark did not consume it all for the sake of construction. Yours in Christ, MWLaine |
