<< I appreciate your writing, and thank you for the information. However, I
have to say that with respect to the ongoing discussion regarding the
extent of the Flood, it appears to matter little whether our thinking
involves 'planet Earth' or 'flat circular disc floating upon an ocean'.
To achieve God's purposes, was the globe (or disc) completely immersed?
or was it not? Thinking sensibly is hardly a time-dependent thing! Moses
understood the Flood had to be global, and could hardly have said more
to convince the reader of the fact. >>
My question is: Where are you getting your information that the Flood was
global?
Moses knew nothing of a global, that is, a spherical earth; hence he could
not have "understood the Flood had to be global." The pre-flood world in the
Bible is not described as a spherical planet with the oceans embedded, but a
flat earth embedded in (floating upon) an ocean, a flat earth which did not
include the America's, Australia or even the Far East. And this limited flat
earth was the _total_ earth. Hence the Bible cannot be and is not describing
a global flood. You cannnot be getting your information that the Flood was
_global_ from the Bible; so, from where are you getting this information?
My point is, Do you realize that your theory of a global flood is resting
upon the findings of modern science? I think you will be helped in your
thinking, if you realize and say out loud, "My theory of a global flood is
resting upon modern science."
