Do you think anybody tried to stop Noah from building the Ark? And why were they not able to?

" 11 And the earth came to be ruined in the sight of the [true] God and the earth became filled with violence. 12 So God saw the earth and, look! it was ruined, because all flesh had ruined its way on the earth."- Genesis 6:11, 12

With that much violence in the earth, surely ones would try to interfere with the arks construction, .....

Shem was a bad ass. He wouldn't let anyone touch his father. Shem later went on to behead Nimrod.

I am sure Noah's sons were very protective of their father, yet there were forces around much bigger than humans, so .....

this video places the ark event at roughly 5000 years ago.

this would be about 3000 b.c. well within the confines of the bronze age.

the metal detectors (5 different kinds) used detected iron as an itegral component of the structure

the iron age began 1200 b.c.give or take a few hundred years.

this would place the ark event easely more than a millenia and a half before iron had been used

so, no response dgn ?

Im NOT DGN

ok, fine, my bad.

do you wish to respond to my post?

The video posted was only intended to draw interest to the subject of the flood.....of which fact all cultures around the earth have some sort of legend of



The fact there was an ark that Noah built and a flood that occurred is not under question, the question is, "did anyone try to stop the building of the Ark with the violence that surrounded the earth in Noah's day

that's an awesome video Op I watched it just last week... I love the part about the Metal Detectors Mapping out the lines on the Entire Ark...

No this would place Iron use before Man said it was Used!

i see, so it is valid to use the science of man,as in metal detectors;

geological history, volcanos,glaciers,

bibblical chronology, backed up by modern day history:

all these can be used to validate this man's video.

but the provablr history of the iron and bronze ages must be negated for your convenience?

I haven't watched video yet - but who's to say the iron detected was forged?

as you say, many cultures share the flood story. one of those would be the epic of Gilgamesh (Sumerian) which predates the bible.

some say that the two flood accounts are so similar that the sumerian account may be the genesis (if you will) of the Noah story

in any case there is probably some kernal of truth to the story, as in the legends uf king Arthur and Robin HOOD.

i'm guessing that once in the misty past, the Tigris or Euphrates reached flood stage, causing some farmer to stuff a fishing vessel with his family and some livestock

so no, i don't think anybody tried to stop him

probably not the answer yo were looking for op, but it's the one i've got

i'm guessing more than the iron was 'forged' in this story

yeah, i know, i'm to clever for my own good.
so spare me the eternal punishment warnings, it won't work

if they had it wouldn't have served them well to have bothered

why?

because God desired it be built and in a timely fashion

hence no power and no force could come against it

simply not possible

he has front door access to anyones mind/heart at any given moment in time

just as he "hardened Pharoahs heart" whereby he could make a point for latter generations to see, know, and understand

so too can he turn or sway anyone at any moment in time into accord with His will

no ifs, ands, or buts/butts

since when has mans historical review ever been much more than a convenience of editing in and of truth?

I'd trust the nature of things long before I'd take mans considerations into account

we know he's prone to lie to cover up all trace of his actions hereupon

lol

in fact, you can set your clock by the fact

the first flood was a million times bigger than Noahs flood

and it occurred in the first earth Age, not this, the second

Noahs flood was in this present earth Age and it only flooded those areas wherein the hybrid offspring of the fallen angels were, as that was it's sole and singular purpose, to which end it served it's purpose mightily

the flood in the first earth Age is what brought down the firmament upon the earth whereafter we had "oceans" hereupon, whereas prior to such there was only potable water coursing throughout the land mass, all of which was totally viable for mans use

as evidenced in part by the fact that we have scientific proof that there were african animals at the north pole, etc.

and dinosaurs were fast frozen with buttercups in their mouths in the same area

the flood in the former age was a direct result of the rebellion at that time and it was solely Gods wrath following such

there will be no oceans on earth in the Eternity, it will be rejuvenated back to it's original perfection

until the firmament ripped and that water which surrounded the earth came cascading down upon us (bye bye Atlantis) there was no inclement weather either, as it served to protect the planet and keep it watered as well. following such we suffered with the jet stream and etc., which previously was not a factor.

oh yes, the rebellion left quite the mark upon the planet and everyone hereupon at that time...

tick talk

Exactly, it reminds me of THIS scripture:


"And so, under the present circumstances, I say to YOU, Do not meddle with these men, but let them alone; (because, if this scheme or this work is from men, it will be overthrown; 39 but if it is from God, YOU will not be able to overthrow them;) otherwise, YOU may perhaps be found fighters actually against God.”-Acts 5:38,39


Nothing can interfere with Gods will.
However, while Noah built the Ark, which took decades, the Bible also says he was a "preacher of righteousness"-(2 Peter 2:5) warning the wicked of their coming destruction but they "took no note" as Jesus said (Matthew 24:37-39


so likely Noah faced ridicule, threats and opposition, possibly even some trying to sabotage the construction project

man building such an ark surely didnt need help to defend himself,God was with him

No, the only interference was from the skeptics. Why do you raise such a nonsensical question?

You make me want to puke you out of my guts into the fires of hell.

Such drama, calm down, its just a question


There is more relevance to the question one might think

If no form of opposition could prevent God's will that an ark be built, so too, nothing can stop the preaching work he foretold would take place during the time in which we live
"This good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth, as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come"- Matthew 24"14

True, we don't need evidence that the ark may have been found to prove there was a flood

et's build it: NOAH’S ARK WAS ALIEN SUBMARINE
[link to weeklyworldnews.com]

That is exactly the point, no way it could have happened without divine protection

"And the earth came to be ruined in the sight of the true God and the earth became filled with violence."-Genesis 6:11

Probably hired giants to do the heavy work and said it was going to be a zoo of original creatures since they were disappearing fast. (the private collection part would have been left out)

There is no boat that can hold 2 of each species in this world today.
So i hold it as a nice story for kids.

"A nice story for kids"?????


Don't tell Christ Jesus that:


" For just as the days of Noah were, so the presence of the Son of man will be. 38 For as they were in those days before the flood, eating and drinking, men marrying and women being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark; 39 and they took no note until the flood came and swept them all away, so the presence of the Son of man will be-Matthew 24:37-39

Documentary on Noah's Ark that I'm going to watch now
