Bible Note: Hi Doc, I am either very misunderstood (poor poor me) or there continues to be a play on words (which is common on the forum so responses to my posts should be no exception). So, here we go: If you wear the "all or nothing" epithet as it might be defined by my presented rational, then I'm sorry. Your are one of the most knowledgeable members on the forum regarding the scriptures and the exegesis therof. Therefore, I find your statement concerning (unless of course it is in fact a play on words). Gen 6:17 And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy ALL flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and EVERY THING that is in the earth shall die. (KJV) (I added capital lettering for emphasis). God said ALL, He said EVERY THING. Did He mean "all", absolutely EVERY THING? Did He mean it in the "all or nothing" kind of reasoning? If He did, Noah and his family and all those animals sure got away with a big one. Case rested: Jeff |
