RE: BIBLE- Gen 9:15

Sorry, but I am always amazed how blind adherence to a particular point
of view makes people blind to what a Bible verse actually says:

Genesis 9:15 and I will remember my covenant, which is between me and
you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more
become a flood to destroy all flesh.

What is that last word? Why, its "FLESH!" The Bible isn't promising
that there won't be more floods. Just more floods to wipe out all flesh.

One can argue that this passage falsifies the Bible entirely because
there wasn't a flood to destroy all flesh, but one can't argue that it
says that there will be no more floods. It just says there won't be any
future floods to kill everything.

One other take on this verse. If every single animal on the land (eretz)
which was flooded by Noah's flood was actually killed, then even the
above might not be an objection. In most floods there are survivors.
