00:00:00.800 --> 00:00:04.879
You're listening to The Bible Guys,
a podcast where a couple of friends talk

2
00:00:04.919 --> 00:00:12.359
about the Bible in fun in practical
ways. Hey, everybody, welcome to

3
00:00:12.400 --> 00:00:16.280
another episode of The Bible Guys.
Howdy howdy, and we are here today

4
00:00:16.480 --> 00:00:20.679
on a Friday. If you're listening
in real time or whatever day you're listening,

5
00:00:20.960 --> 00:00:24.920
correct, That's why I said if
I did say that I caveat of

6
00:00:24.920 --> 00:00:30.760
this, I heard you, and
I was just clarifying I didn't want anybody

7
00:00:30.760 --> 00:00:36.039
feel left out. And we are
wrapping well, I think we're wrapping up

8
00:00:36.079 --> 00:00:42.520
the rain, the rain part of
the flood in our story, because we've

9
00:00:42.560 --> 00:00:47.359
been covering this thing for several podcasts. Now, So before we get into

10
00:00:47.359 --> 00:00:51.920
that, we have a segment today
we do in the segment is called Who's

11
00:00:51.960 --> 00:00:55.960
most Likely? Who's most likely?
Yes? Yes, I like these?

12
00:00:56.280 --> 00:00:58.479
Yeah, I do too. And
I haven't looked at this at all.

13
00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:02.600
No, I have not glaced.
Well, So the goal is for us

14
00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:06.879
to uh say it as fast as
we can, sort of like an instinct

15
00:01:06.959 --> 00:01:10.920
response, right to see if we
agree or disagree. Okay, you ready?

16
00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:15.079
Yes? Number one? Who's most
likely to have the best snacks?

17
00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:19.120
Oh me, Jeff? Sure?
Without a doubt. Yes. In fact,

18
00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:23.439
I would say I'm really not a
snack person, but I do enjoy

19
00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:29.319
when somebody prepares snacks for me.
I like to graze like de CHRITI.

20
00:01:30.599 --> 00:01:32.719
That's really funny. All right,
you want to take the next one.

21
00:01:32.959 --> 00:01:34.239
I don't even have it in front
of me. Okay, I'll ask them

22
00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:40.239
ahead. Number two, who's most
likely to hand make you a birthday present?

23
00:01:40.840 --> 00:01:44.319
You would be me by far.
You Yes, you made skip the

24
00:01:44.319 --> 00:01:49.120
birthday presents. You used to hand
make your your kids lunch sacks? Yeah,

25
00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:53.000
lunch sacks every day. Yeah.
By the way, it wasn't every

26
00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:55.519
day, it was it was when
I had time, so it was it

27
00:01:55.560 --> 00:01:59.680
was a couple of times a week
most likely. Uh and uh so literally,

28
00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:02.760
you've done a thousand, You've done
more than a thousand lunch back.

29
00:02:02.959 --> 00:02:07.879
I would definitely say that that's true. Okay, that's that's about. Let

30
00:02:07.879 --> 00:02:10.400
me ed it up. Carry the
one a thousand more than I did,

31
00:02:10.680 --> 00:02:15.199
right right? Hey, by the
way, Uh, it started off that

32
00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:17.599
I actually just drew simple things like
stick figures and like, hey, how

33
00:02:17.599 --> 00:02:21.599
you doing kind of things? And
then one day I decided to ooh,

34
00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:23.400
I'm gonna go downstairs like an hour
early, I'm going to draw like this,

35
00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:28.199
you know, piece of artwork or
something, and then what up happening?

36
00:02:28.360 --> 00:02:30.319
Was my daughter, like in junior
high would go to school and they

37
00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:32.759
would all gather around. They'd say, oh, let me see your lunch

38
00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:36.240
bag. What'd your dad do?
So if the next day I drew like

39
00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:39.120
a stick figure, they go,
oh, it's another voting now. Well,

40
00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:43.919
yeah, they're disappointed because I have
now let Tory's friends down. You

41
00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:46.800
push the bar too high. This
is a warning to all the parents.

42
00:02:46.919 --> 00:02:49.639
Yes, don't start pushing the bar
up or you can't live up to it

43
00:02:49.639 --> 00:02:53.400
tomorrow. So I'm joking. I
was only joking about that. When it

44
00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:55.360
come people go, that's pretty wise. I'm not being good for my kids.

45
00:02:55.520 --> 00:03:00.000
Well, when it comes to you
know this, To be honest,

46
00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:00.800
honest, I was glad for it
to be over. I mean, I

47
00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:05.360
loved every second of it, but
it was very I literally had to say,

48
00:03:05.520 --> 00:03:09.000
I gotta give tomorrow an hour early
to draw in the bags. I

49
00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:13.639
would force myself to get up and
go downstairs again. Not all the time,

50
00:03:13.919 --> 00:03:15.520
but I would, but I would. You know, I mean,

51
00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:17.199
you're a real artist. I mean
some of these are really spectacular. Oh,

52
00:03:17.199 --> 00:03:20.479
I appreciate that. I heard that
the Lover's trying to get a few

53
00:03:20.520 --> 00:03:23.520
of them. Yes, I'm gonna
put it right next to Mona Lisa.

54
00:03:23.639 --> 00:03:25.960
My favorite one of all the ones
that I did was I did you know

55
00:03:27.039 --> 00:03:30.599
Lelo and Stitch? I did Stitch
and I liked that one. You liked

56
00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:34.479
that? It was really good?
Okay, good job anyway. Okay.

57
00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:39.319
The second question number three, who's
most likely to forget to return a borrowed

58
00:03:39.439 --> 00:03:44.599
item? Me? Is that you. I would definitely say you forgetful.

59
00:03:44.800 --> 00:03:47.759
That did not sound like me.
Yeah, I really don't like borrowing things,

60
00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:51.840
but it's because I forget that I
have them. Okay, Okay,

61
00:03:51.879 --> 00:03:55.680
So I really I have a hard
time asking for help from people. Hey

62
00:03:55.719 --> 00:03:59.599
I need this fixed or that fixed. And I'm not a handy guy,

63
00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:00.919
but I have a hard time asking
for help, And then I have a

64
00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:04.360
hard time borrowing things from people.
Now we're alike in a lot of ways,

65
00:04:04.439 --> 00:04:08.120
we are very different in that way. Yeah, I have no problem

66
00:04:08.120 --> 00:04:11.400
asking anybody to help me. Yeah. And it's not a pride thing.

67
00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:15.599
It's an embarrassing thing. I just
I feel embarrassed about asking somebody to take

68
00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:17.319
time out of their busy schedule to
help me with something. Oh yeah.

69
00:04:17.759 --> 00:04:20.879
And then and then the other thing
is when when something is not in its

70
00:04:20.920 --> 00:04:26.079
place. If I borrow a neighbors
something or the other, and it's every

71
00:04:26.120 --> 00:04:28.600
day, I say, this doesn't
belong here, This doesn't belong here,

72
00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:31.000
this doesn't bow. Or I'll say
if I loan something out, I'm like,

73
00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:34.079
where's my rake? Where's my rake? Every day? Why haven't I

74
00:04:34.120 --> 00:04:36.439
had my rip yet? That's why
I don't like to borrow things. Is

75
00:04:36.480 --> 00:04:40.360
I assume that's how they feel about
it, or I haven't thought about it

76
00:04:40.360 --> 00:04:43.680
since the minute I used it.
Yeah, I think you probably are mad

77
00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:46.079
at me that I haven't given it
back. Not mad, just wondering where's

78
00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:48.360
my rate? Yeah? Yeah,
I struggle. I struggle, Borro.

79
00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:51.040
Hey, there's a difference. We
don't have very many differences. Yeah,

80
00:04:51.079 --> 00:04:56.319
that's that's a different Yeah all right. Number four, who's most likely to

81
00:04:56.519 --> 00:05:01.600
cheat at a board game? Okay, so I see, I don't think

82
00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:04.480
either one of us cheat. I
think both of us leverage the rules to

83
00:05:04.519 --> 00:05:09.360
our advantage. Now that would be
true, yes, but I'll be very

84
00:05:09.399 --> 00:05:12.639
honest, you know, I think
it makes me mad when people cheating games.

85
00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:16.680
People know a lot of people who
know me know that board games are

86
00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:21.519
sort of our thing. Yes,
and the one thing that I am famous

87
00:05:21.560 --> 00:05:26.519
for in my family is I will
not cheat. Yeah. Now, I

88
00:05:26.600 --> 00:05:29.759
win so many games with my family. They accused me of cheating, right,

89
00:05:29.839 --> 00:05:30.680
they do, right, But it's
not. It's that I know the

90
00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:33.560
rules and they didn't read the rules. When I try to read the rules

91
00:05:33.560 --> 00:05:36.439
to everybody, everybody's like, I
know, I read. Let's just start,

92
00:05:36.519 --> 00:05:39.879
we'll figure the game out. And
then when you use the rules to

93
00:05:39.879 --> 00:05:42.680
your advantage, they go, you're
cheating. I didn't know that, right,

94
00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:44.959
And it's not cheating. It's in
the rules. Yeah, the rules.

95
00:05:44.959 --> 00:05:46.680
I'll do that if it's within the
rules. Definitely. Absolutely. So

96
00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:49.839
I've been pitching you a few games
lately. I've got a couple of games

97
00:05:49.879 --> 00:05:54.000
I need you to. Yeah,
I need to. I need to pick

98
00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:56.360
you up on those. I wrote
them down, by the way, so

99
00:05:56.399 --> 00:06:00.199
I have them. Yeah, by
the So what's the answer that who's most

100
00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:02.439
likely to cheat? I don't think
either one of us are cheaters. Oh,

101
00:06:02.480 --> 00:06:04.959
we're gonna say no. We're going
to say no. We declined answer

102
00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:12.600
that question. Dare you how dare
you desert dare to assume that one of

103
00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:17.319
us would cheat. All right,
here we go impune upon our character number

104
00:06:17.399 --> 00:06:21.360
five, who's most likely to wind
up in the er because of a paper

105
00:06:21.399 --> 00:06:28.079
cut? Me? No, not
a paper cut you yeah Meeff's thumb can

106
00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:30.160
fall off. And he was like, I think we can take care of

107
00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:32.279
this at home. Yeah. So
a couple of years ago, uh,

108
00:06:32.399 --> 00:06:35.000
you see that big scar on my
finger. Yeah, that's a huge star.

109
00:06:35.160 --> 00:06:40.839
So it's kind of gross. So
we had a storm blow through my

110
00:06:40.959 --> 00:06:44.680
yard knock down some trees. Yeah, I couldn't get my chainsaw started,

111
00:06:45.160 --> 00:06:47.879
so I ran a I don't like
the story. I ran a cord out.

112
00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:50.720
You know, I grew up splitting
wood, cutting wood, chainsaws,

113
00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:54.680
all that kind of stuff. My
whole life, splitting what a fifty face

114
00:06:54.720 --> 00:06:58.120
court a year, I would I
would use a chainsaw for hours at a

115
00:06:58.120 --> 00:07:00.920
time, so I'm comfortable with all
that stuff. But changedaw, I couldn't

116
00:07:00.920 --> 00:07:03.160
get it started for whatever reason.
It been a long time since I used

117
00:07:03.160 --> 00:07:06.199
it. So I ran a cord
out and I hooked up my saws all

118
00:07:06.279 --> 00:07:11.160
and I had one of those long
wood blades like that, and they have

119
00:07:11.399 --> 00:07:14.720
off setting teeth like this, so
they go through wood really easy. And

120
00:07:14.800 --> 00:07:17.040
so I was holding this branch.
I was using the saws all. My

121
00:07:17.079 --> 00:07:20.959
son was standing next to me.
I said, David, don't ever use

122
00:07:21.959 --> 00:07:28.519
a saws all to cut branches with
one hand because it can just jump out

123
00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:30.439
and get you. It was like, okay, and so you know,

124
00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:32.639
you got to hold it with both
hands. But I was holding the branch

125
00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:36.279
here and it jumped as I said, it landed on my hand, cut

126
00:07:36.319 --> 00:07:39.839
me all the way to the bone. And so I grabbed my hand like

127
00:07:39.879 --> 00:07:41.800
this, and I turned to my
son and I said, go get your

128
00:07:41.800 --> 00:07:46.120
mom. He was what just happened? And I went. He took off

129
00:07:46.199 --> 00:07:48.399
running to go get my wife.
I have to go into the hospital and

130
00:07:49.040 --> 00:07:51.839
get some stitches. And the girl
that was doing the stitches, it was

131
00:07:51.839 --> 00:07:56.839
her first time to ever do stitches. So the doctor came and you can

132
00:07:56.879 --> 00:07:59.639
see it was a really jagged cut, right, It was really jagged.

133
00:07:59.680 --> 00:08:03.199
It looks like epic, yeah,
yeah, And so it was really jagged.

134
00:08:03.240 --> 00:08:05.160
And this is my twenty first time
in the hospital for stitches. I've

135
00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:09.399
been that twenty one times. I
had to go for stitches, so I

136
00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:13.360
haven't covered up. This girl comes
in. The doctor goes this is her

137
00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:15.079
first time, but you mind,
I mean, that's a mess. Do

138
00:08:15.120 --> 00:08:16.199
you mind if she does it?
I say, yeah, that's fine.

139
00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:20.120
So she looks like she's gonna die, and I'm like, I'm calming her

140
00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:24.480
down. You're gonna be okay.
Because the doctor leaves because she was nervous

141
00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:26.920
that he was there looking over his
shoulders. She'd done it on cadavers,

142
00:08:26.959 --> 00:08:28.720
she never done the lie person.
So I'm walking through, explained to her,

143
00:08:28.759 --> 00:08:33.559
you're gonna be okay. She just
starts to touch my whole hands numb.

144
00:08:33.720 --> 00:08:35.679
She just starts to touch my I
yell and she almost passed out,

145
00:08:35.840 --> 00:08:39.399
like like she had to get a
fan. She's like like, I then

146
00:08:39.559 --> 00:08:41.840
it finally it calmed her down after
that, right, it didn't hurt me.

147
00:08:43.720 --> 00:08:45.879
And then I'm guiding her through how
to sow my hand to get no.

148
00:08:45.879 --> 00:08:46.919
No, you need to pull it
on the inside because they're so wide.

149
00:08:48.159 --> 00:08:50.399
She had to give me stitches on
the inside and then the outside to

150
00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:52.759
do it. It was really really
funny. So, yeah, I live

151
00:08:54.200 --> 00:08:58.320
going to the hospital for stitches,
but not for paper cuts. Usually it's

152
00:08:58.320 --> 00:09:01.399
cut your finger off kind of stuff. Yes, So yeah, and my

153
00:09:01.559 --> 00:09:05.279
family would say that I'm sort of
a wimp when it comes to paint.

154
00:09:05.279 --> 00:09:09.120
Wimp. Delicate, delicate, yeah, delicate, yeah. I I you

155
00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:13.519
know, we had actually asked my
family and I texted them. So if

156
00:09:13.519 --> 00:09:16.720
you're trying to think historically, where
do we where do we fit? I

157
00:09:16.759 --> 00:09:20.279
think you kind of. I think
I kind of fit in the Daniel Boone

158
00:09:20.320 --> 00:09:24.159
era, and I think you kind
of fit in like the Louis the fourteenth

159
00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:28.200
era. Oh my word, really, the wigs, the lace, the

160
00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:35.080
powder on the oh my gosh,
where did that come from? Buckles thought?

161
00:09:35.960 --> 00:09:39.679
I do not agree with this.
I rebuke this idea. This is

162
00:09:39.759 --> 00:09:46.240
not fair. I've been attacked.
Yeah, I've been accused. No,

163
00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:48.159
okay, he would be so funny. All right, well we need to

164
00:09:48.200 --> 00:09:52.759
move on. So we're going to
so this is more of the flood part,

165
00:09:52.039 --> 00:09:56.360
right, yep, yep. So
we're just going to pick right up

166
00:09:56.480 --> 00:10:00.399
on verse seventeen, I believe is
where we're starting Genesis seven, Genesis chapter

167
00:10:00.440 --> 00:10:03.080
seven, and we'll just read to
the end of the chapter yep. Here

168
00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:07.399
and it says for forty days,
the floodwaters grew deeper, covering the ground

169
00:10:07.399 --> 00:10:09.320
and lifting the boat high above the
earth. And as the waters rose higher

170
00:10:09.320 --> 00:10:13.639
and higher above the ground. The
boat floated safely on the surface. Finally,

171
00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:18.000
the water covered even the highest mountains
on the Earth, rising more than

172
00:10:18.279 --> 00:10:22.720
twenty two feet above the highest peaks. All the living things on earth died,

173
00:10:22.080 --> 00:10:26.559
birds, domestic animals, wild animals, small animals that scurry along the

174
00:10:26.559 --> 00:10:30.799
ground, and all the people.
Everything that breathed and lived on the dry

175
00:10:30.919 --> 00:10:35.440
land died. That's incredibly sad statement. God wiped out every living thing on

176
00:10:35.440 --> 00:10:39.480
the earth. People, livestock,
small animals that scurry along the ground,

177
00:10:39.759 --> 00:10:43.879
whirreds the sky. All were destroyed. The only people who survived were Noah

178
00:10:43.919 --> 00:10:46.159
and those with him in the boat. And the floodwaters covered the earth for

179
00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:50.720
one hundred and fifty days. Well, now I'm glad our segment went along,

180
00:10:50.799 --> 00:10:54.200
because this is terrible to talk about. Well, so, Holy Cow,

181
00:10:54.799 --> 00:10:58.440
and so the floodwaters cover the earth
for one hundred and fifty days.

182
00:10:58.480 --> 00:11:01.600
A lot of people when they hear
about the arc, you know, people

183
00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:05.000
say, oh, Noah's in the
arc for forty days. But that's not

184
00:11:05.080 --> 00:11:09.159
true. Right, no was in
the arc for rain for forty days and

185
00:11:09.159 --> 00:11:11.000
forty nights. Right then he was
in the boat. And it said the

186
00:11:11.039 --> 00:11:16.519
water covered one hundred and fifty days, but then no estayed in the boat

187
00:11:16.759 --> 00:11:18.720
long en effort to start to drain
as well. That's right, five more

188
00:11:18.759 --> 00:11:22.000
months. And so Noah was in
the boat for how long, Jeff?

189
00:11:22.559 --> 00:11:26.799
So like one year? Right,
seven and a half months? Oh,

190
00:11:26.840 --> 00:11:31.039
after the one hundred and fifty days. So it tomorrow we'll read it,

191
00:11:31.159 --> 00:11:35.000
Okay, I'm jumping ahead. Yeah, yeah, okay, next week it

192
00:11:35.559 --> 00:11:37.360
unpacks. How long all of that
lasted? Okay, okay, okay,

193
00:11:37.440 --> 00:11:43.679
we'll get to that. So but
yeah, that is pretty crazy. This

194
00:11:43.799 --> 00:11:46.600
is sort of a downer of a
day since these are the only verses that

195
00:11:46.600 --> 00:11:52.399
we're talking about. Well, there's
several elements to it. One I think

196
00:11:52.919 --> 00:11:58.200
was this a local event, this
flood, or was this a global worldwide

197
00:11:58.519 --> 00:12:03.720
flood? Well, it said the
whole earth, Yeah, it said lifting

198
00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:09.440
the boat high above the earth,
the waters rod higher than every surface of

199
00:12:09.480 --> 00:12:13.559
the mountains of the twenty two feet
above the highest peaks of the earth.

200
00:12:13.879 --> 00:12:18.440
Yeah, all living things on the
earth died, which means it's so the

201
00:12:18.559 --> 00:12:22.480
question would be some people would say
that God's goal was to wipe out all

202
00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:26.080
the people, right, that's the
goal. The goal is to wipe out

203
00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:30.679
all the humans. Had the humans
gone to every corner of the planet,

204
00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:35.559
No, did they map it all
Had they already mapped it all out?

205
00:12:35.759 --> 00:12:39.240
If they'd mapped it all out,
then it would have had to have you

206
00:12:39.279 --> 00:12:41.679
know, and had gone to every
corner. Then he would have had to

207
00:12:41.799 --> 00:12:46.360
flood the entire world or did he
have to flood their world? Right?

208
00:12:46.440 --> 00:12:48.240
Right? Like you know how we
say, like the Roman world or the

209
00:12:48.279 --> 00:12:52.039
Greek world, it wasn't the whole
world. It was just the known world

210
00:12:52.080 --> 00:12:56.919
at their time, right. So
that there's some Christians that would say it

211
00:12:58.039 --> 00:13:03.759
wasn't a global, you know,
a flood that flooded the entire planet,

212
00:13:03.039 --> 00:13:09.240
but it flooded every place that humans
lived above those tallest mountains. That's what

213
00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:11.879
some would say. Others would say, Nope, it flooded the whole planet.

214
00:13:13.039 --> 00:13:16.919
Right, And so then the argument
be, well, are you saying

215
00:13:16.919 --> 00:13:22.720
that it went twenty two feet above
Mount air Rat at what five and a

216
00:13:22.759 --> 00:13:28.480
half miles high? Are you serious? Right? So I personally believe in

217
00:13:28.519 --> 00:13:31.879
a worldwide flood. What do you
believe? Yeah? I mean, only

218
00:13:31.919 --> 00:13:35.039
because that's sort of what it says. It says, finally, the water

219
00:13:35.159 --> 00:13:39.720
covered even the highest mountains on the
Earth, and it doesn't say the world

220
00:13:39.799 --> 00:13:43.240
in which humanity lived, right,
it says the earth it's referring to.

221
00:13:43.919 --> 00:13:48.679
But it would have fulfilled God's purposes
to have just flooded where people are sure,

222
00:13:48.720 --> 00:13:52.600
absolutely absolutely, And so that's why
some people would say. Because some

223
00:13:54.519 --> 00:14:00.279
geologists would say there is no evidence
of a global flood. Other geologists say

224
00:14:00.279 --> 00:14:03.840
the only way you can explain everything
is by a global flood. So there's

225
00:14:03.960 --> 00:14:09.039
disagreement among geologists. The geologists who
reject the Bible would emphatically say there is

226
00:14:09.080 --> 00:14:16.799
no evidence of a worldwide flood.
Christians or geologists who say, look at

227
00:14:16.799 --> 00:14:22.799
there's a lot of evidences here that
we cannot justify just by stratification from time

228
00:14:22.679 --> 00:14:26.440
means that there seems to be major
cataclysms. For instance, most of the

229
00:14:26.559 --> 00:14:31.080
dinosaur levels, like say out in
Montana, South Dakota, and North Dakota,

230
00:14:31.399 --> 00:14:35.000
they all seem to have died in
this massive cataclysm. Right, So

231
00:14:35.559 --> 00:14:39.639
their argument is, oh, it
was it was an asteroid, right.

232
00:14:39.720 --> 00:14:43.799
Others would say it didn't have to
be. It could have been a flood.

233
00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:46.320
And by the way the way that
it's stratified like this, they were

234
00:14:46.360 --> 00:14:50.879
also buried almost immediately, right.
So there's all those things that they would

235
00:14:50.879 --> 00:14:56.080
point to great canyons in different places
like this where massive amounts of erosion happened,

236
00:14:56.759 --> 00:14:58.320
but would have required like, for
instance, in the Grand Canyon,

237
00:14:58.759 --> 00:15:01.639
some of the erosion that would have
had to happen if everything was the same

238
00:15:01.720 --> 00:15:05.320
then as it is now, Some
of the erosion would have had to be

239
00:15:05.320 --> 00:15:09.480
that the river was flowing up in
order to cut through a lot of the

240
00:15:09.519 --> 00:15:11.039
canyon, right. So thenly way
that could happen is if that there was

241
00:15:11.080 --> 00:15:16.559
water above it, right, draining
to be able to cut down. So

242
00:15:16.960 --> 00:15:20.320
there's a lot of those kind of
elements. People believe in an ice age

243
00:15:20.799 --> 00:15:26.159
covering most of the planet, but
refuse to believe in water having flooded the

244
00:15:26.200 --> 00:15:30.960
planet. Ice and water are the
same, right right, right, they're

245
00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:35.440
both h two oh. So it's
kind of funny how sometimes we build these

246
00:15:35.559 --> 00:15:39.519
arguments to justify our version and rejecting
scripture, as opposed to just saying what

247
00:15:39.519 --> 00:15:43.799
are the plausible answers? And the
other one would be Mount air Rat or

248
00:15:43.840 --> 00:15:48.000
Mount Everest. I'm sorry, didn't
need to have been twenty six thousand feet

249
00:15:48.200 --> 00:15:50.480
tall at that time. Yeah,
not back then I could have shifted,

250
00:15:50.639 --> 00:15:54.799
right, So we do know in
tectonic shifts, and we do know that

251
00:15:54.720 --> 00:15:58.679
you know, there were times when
the whole planet was all one giant continent

252
00:15:58.759 --> 00:16:02.919
has broken into pieces. All that
kind of stuff then throws up mountain ranges

253
00:16:03.000 --> 00:16:06.879
and all those kinds of things.
So it doesn't mean that we had to

254
00:16:06.919 --> 00:16:10.039
have the Himalayas be completely covered.
It could have been that all the mountains

255
00:16:10.039 --> 00:16:12.320
were the size of the mountains in
Kentucky for all we know, right,

256
00:16:14.559 --> 00:16:17.360
but it does say twenty two feet
above all of the mountains, and that

257
00:16:17.440 --> 00:16:22.159
the whole world I believe was flooded
there. And it explains to me in

258
00:16:22.200 --> 00:16:25.639
a better way why we have the
geologic record the way that it is,

259
00:16:26.080 --> 00:16:30.519
and why there are massive gaps in
creatures and animals throughout that geological record.

260
00:16:30.600 --> 00:16:33.000
You know, something that I've never
looked into. I've only seen on like

261
00:16:33.279 --> 00:16:38.120
quick quick little clips, is you
just referenced the fact that you said,

262
00:16:38.159 --> 00:16:41.240
oh, we know that all continents
were together and then they broke off into

263
00:16:41.279 --> 00:16:47.759
pieces. I've seen that before,
but I've never heard about the details of

264
00:16:47.799 --> 00:16:52.720
that. So you're convinced that that's
a trouser. Absolutely, absolutely there's a

265
00:16:52.120 --> 00:16:56.519
thing. I don't know if we'll
get to it, but when it starts

266
00:16:56.519 --> 00:17:06.480
to explain the in Genesis, you
want me to just jump ahead Genesis chapter

267
00:17:06.480 --> 00:17:08.880
ten. We're not going to read
this Genesis chapter ten. They're just giving

268
00:17:08.960 --> 00:17:14.759
lists of families. Jeffa had these
kids, they all did these things.

269
00:17:15.039 --> 00:17:18.200
Ham had these kids, they all
did these things right, and make those

270
00:17:18.240 --> 00:17:22.400
long lists like the Bibles famous for. In Genesis chapter ten, under shem,

271
00:17:22.640 --> 00:17:26.000
it says Eber had two sons.
The first was named Peleg, which

272
00:17:26.039 --> 00:17:29.119
means division. For during his lifetime, the people in the world were divided

273
00:17:29.119 --> 00:17:33.759
in different language groups. That's the
only translation that says it that way.

274
00:17:33.920 --> 00:17:38.240
The other translations say for in his
time, the world was divided, right,

275
00:17:38.640 --> 00:17:41.960
And so it seems to be not
that it was a language thing,

276
00:17:42.160 --> 00:17:47.000
but it was the planet. The
planet broke. I think the King James

277
00:17:47.000 --> 00:17:51.160
actually says was broken. Right.
So it's kind of one of those things

278
00:17:51.200 --> 00:17:52.680
where some people would say, hey, maybe that's it, right. So

279
00:17:52.759 --> 00:17:56.880
the New Living translation is the only
translation says it was broken by languages.

280
00:17:56.240 --> 00:18:00.880
Everyplace else says the planet was broken. And that would makes sense too,

281
00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:04.759
because people from different continents can be
isolated enough to speak different language. Yah,

282
00:18:04.759 --> 00:18:07.799
but that would then be saying that
it was so the Bible already told

283
00:18:07.839 --> 00:18:11.200
us when the languages were divided with
Tower Babbel, with the Tower Babbel,

284
00:18:11.319 --> 00:18:17.359
Yeah right, and this Peleg would
have been much longer after that. So

285
00:18:17.799 --> 00:18:21.480
yeah, it's kind of an interesting, kind of an interesting thing. I'll

286
00:18:21.519 --> 00:18:23.039
read it to you. Go ahead, I'll read it to you in a

287
00:18:23.160 --> 00:18:33.319
different translation. Genesis ten. Okay, so you're looking up a different translation

288
00:18:33.359 --> 00:18:36.279
of that same verse. You're saying, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's

289
00:18:36.319 --> 00:18:38.920
that's all I was doing, was
pulling that up. It was ten twenty

290
00:18:38.920 --> 00:18:45.039
five. Which translation is this that
you're reading from? This just new King

291
00:18:45.119 --> 00:18:48.319
James, for instance, says to
Eber were born two sons. The name

292
00:18:48.359 --> 00:18:52.000
of one was Peleg, for in
his days the Earth was divided. And

293
00:18:52.079 --> 00:18:57.559
it seems like in the original languages
it's using earth, not people, it's

294
00:18:57.599 --> 00:19:03.000
not using world, using planet kind
of words there, and so maybe maybe

295
00:19:03.000 --> 00:19:04.799
that was it when it divided up. But I mean, man, you

296
00:19:04.799 --> 00:19:08.400
can put the whole planet back together
like a puzzle. Yeah, I've seen

297
00:19:08.440 --> 00:19:15.839
I've seen those things before. South
America fits into into Africa. North America

298
00:19:15.839 --> 00:19:21.920
fits very well into Europe. If
you look at like Ireland fits perfectly back

299
00:19:21.920 --> 00:19:27.119
into the island of England. England
fits back into the coast of Europe you're

300
00:19:27.200 --> 00:19:30.720
just going through. Most of the
world fits back into one great, big,

301
00:19:30.759 --> 00:19:36.160
giant continent. And that makes sense
to me. It also explains why

302
00:19:36.200 --> 00:19:38.480
so much technology is the same all
around the world, pyramids for instance,

303
00:19:38.480 --> 00:19:42.319
and different things. So yeah,
interesting, Well, well i'll tell you

304
00:19:42.400 --> 00:19:48.559
what. That is a lot to
come come from just this past, isn't

305
00:19:48.599 --> 00:19:53.839
it. So yeah, we're just
talking about all sorts of things. So

306
00:19:53.839 --> 00:20:00.720
so let's we haven't talked about the
sadness yet. The sadness part the fact

307
00:20:00.720 --> 00:20:06.599
that this portion of scripture that we've
read destroys all life. So God is

308
00:20:06.799 --> 00:20:11.440
fed up with the evil and the
corruption, and so everything gets wiped out.

309
00:20:11.480 --> 00:20:17.200
And it says the only people who
survived were Noah and those with him

310
00:20:17.200 --> 00:20:19.839
in the boat. And so those
with him means his family, right,

311
00:20:19.960 --> 00:20:25.680
yeah, yeah, So there's no
indication that there was another his his wife,

312
00:20:25.720 --> 00:20:29.359
his three sons and their wives,
right. And then I'd imagine then

313
00:20:29.359 --> 00:20:32.160
if there were any grand children or
something like that, but doesn't mention them.

314
00:20:32.359 --> 00:20:36.400
Yeah, And then and then from
that then he repopulates their So let's

315
00:20:36.400 --> 00:20:37.480
talk about that. If you think
of, oh, look, how sad

316
00:20:37.519 --> 00:20:41.599
it is all these people died.
There is a sadness in that, because

317
00:20:41.640 --> 00:20:45.440
every human life matters. If you
look at it from God's perspective, evil

318
00:20:45.559 --> 00:20:51.359
is that bad. It was a
full blown cancer and all they ever thought

319
00:20:51.400 --> 00:20:55.480
of was evil. That's that's what
it says. Complete and yeah, right

320
00:20:55.599 --> 00:20:59.559
they were. That's all they can
So God was literally cutting the evil out,

321
00:20:59.640 --> 00:21:03.519
this case, answer, out of
the planet, and he said,

322
00:21:03.519 --> 00:21:07.640
hey, I've got this one family
that honors me. He literally talking about

323
00:21:07.680 --> 00:21:11.960
patience. He let it get down
to almost nobody left before he finally decided,

324
00:21:11.960 --> 00:21:15.640
I'm going to cut it all out. It's like the entire body is

325
00:21:15.680 --> 00:21:18.319
full of cancer. Becides He's going
to cut all the cancer out to save

326
00:21:18.400 --> 00:21:22.599
the one heart or the one brain
that's still not full of cancer. That's

327
00:21:22.599 --> 00:21:26.880
what he did. This is God's
mercy on humanity. The fact that he

328
00:21:26.960 --> 00:21:30.359
let it go so far. What
would have been worse is if there was

329
00:21:30.400 --> 00:21:36.119
nobody redeemable right, that would have
been worse right. And so it wasn't

330
00:21:36.279 --> 00:21:41.400
God that decided to destroy all these
things. It was humanity's choice to keep

331
00:21:41.440 --> 00:21:44.400
rebelling against God and going to the
point where the only thing they could even

332
00:21:44.440 --> 00:21:48.599
contemplate think about was evil. You
have one family honoring God, and God

333
00:21:48.640 --> 00:21:51.480
says, Okay, I got to
cut this cancer out. So do you

334
00:21:51.519 --> 00:21:56.759
think do you think that the evil, that the unredeemable evil mind was connected

335
00:21:56.759 --> 00:22:00.559
to the longevity of life? So
for instance, you know people YEA lived

336
00:22:00.599 --> 00:22:03.400
it, lived it, done it
all, and then got to the place

337
00:22:03.440 --> 00:22:07.119
to where they experienced life to such
a degree to where they were just like,

338
00:22:07.400 --> 00:22:11.640
hey, I'm now going to choose
the pleasure only the pleasure part,

339
00:22:11.680 --> 00:22:15.240
the evil pleasure part, right,
or the evil greed part, or that's

340
00:22:15.240 --> 00:22:18.519
what he says. My spirit will
not put up with humans for such a

341
00:22:18.519 --> 00:22:21.079
long time, right, And then
he cut their lifespan down to one hundred

342
00:22:21.079 --> 00:22:25.920
and twenty years. He's acknowledging these
nine hundred year life spans are just giving

343
00:22:25.960 --> 00:22:29.160
them the ability to discover even more
evils. Yeah. And then most of

344
00:22:29.200 --> 00:22:32.559
the time the evil we choose to
do is self pleasure. Right. We

345
00:22:32.920 --> 00:22:36.480
were finding a way to please ourselves
and it winds up taking us in the

346
00:22:36.480 --> 00:22:38.279
wrong direction. And I think,
you know, nine hundred years of being

347
00:22:38.279 --> 00:22:42.839
able to figure those things out.
Yeah, So the idea that God cut

348
00:22:42.880 --> 00:22:48.119
our life span down, which is
crazy, that part of it is so

349
00:22:48.240 --> 00:22:52.359
crazy to me, but that God
would cut our lifespan down for our benefit.

350
00:22:52.480 --> 00:22:53.519
Yeah, And even though that,
you know, it's like we'd all

351
00:22:53.559 --> 00:22:56.160
say, man, we'd love to
live nine hundred years, you know,

352
00:22:56.240 --> 00:23:00.920
and get you we're healthy, if
you were healthy. But but yet you

353
00:23:00.920 --> 00:23:03.519
know, well, it just highlights
the fact that this is dress rehearsal for

354
00:23:03.559 --> 00:23:07.440
eternity. One hundred and twenty years
or nine hundred and twenty years is nothing

355
00:23:07.039 --> 00:23:11.440
compared to a billion and a half
years in eternity. And you're just getting

356
00:23:11.480 --> 00:23:15.119
started at a billion and a half
years, right, So, eternity,

357
00:23:15.480 --> 00:23:18.920
this life is not the purpose,
it's not the cause. It's just the

358
00:23:18.920 --> 00:23:23.039
beginning for us, and then after
that we have all of eternity. So

359
00:23:23.079 --> 00:23:27.240
it's God's grace to say, I'm
not going to let you just infect yourself

360
00:23:27.279 --> 00:23:30.680
with so much evil for so long. I'm going to rescue you from it.

361
00:23:30.880 --> 00:23:34.279
I'm going to give you a merciful
death physically, get out of this

362
00:23:34.400 --> 00:23:37.480
body, free you from it.
I'm going to redeem you, set you

363
00:23:37.519 --> 00:23:41.079
free, and eternity for total and
absolute perfection, which is what he'd always

364
00:23:41.079 --> 00:23:45.440
planned for us in the beginning.
So the fact that he's allowing this time

365
00:23:45.519 --> 00:23:49.319
to play out and any evil to
exist is only because he's allowing every human

366
00:23:49.359 --> 00:23:55.720
that he'd always always planned to come
into fruition to become actual so that he

367
00:23:55.759 --> 00:23:59.000
can save give them an opportunity to
be saved as well. Yeah, so

368
00:23:59.200 --> 00:24:00.720
that's it. Hey, Yeah,
last thing. People sometimes ask, why

369
00:24:00.720 --> 00:24:04.440
do you believe in Noah? I
say, because Jesus believed in Noah right

370
00:24:04.599 --> 00:24:07.880
right over and over. Jesus references
Noah as it was in the days of

371
00:24:07.920 --> 00:24:11.400
Noah, so it'll be in the
ndimes. Jesus says that Jesus talks about

372
00:24:11.799 --> 00:24:15.920
the flood, he talks about Noah's
arc. Jesus believed in Noah. I

373
00:24:15.960 --> 00:24:18.559
believe in Jesus, so I believe
in Noah. Yeah. Well that's great.

374
00:24:18.680 --> 00:24:22.319
That's a good case right there.
So ye all right, well,

375
00:24:22.359 --> 00:24:25.240
hey, that is a great place
to wrap this up for now, and

376
00:24:25.279 --> 00:24:26.720
we're going to pick up in that
story on Monday. That's right on the

377
00:24:26.720 --> 00:24:37.319
Bible. Gosh,
