I just wonder how he kept the fish alive? Seriously, I haev enough trouble keeping fish alive..the salt level has to be juuuust right or they keep dying. Noah musta been some genius.

God gave Noah the plans for the Ark (of course). In these plans, there was a futuristic space age aquarium room. This is also why it took Noah so long to build the Ark. It's hard to get titanium and steel way back in those days. But he sure did manage to do it! biggrin

I wonder if the Ark could have ran into a iceberg and survived. That would be a ship worthy of god.

Icebergs around Mt. Ararat?

Why not? They could have floated down from the Arcitc, where it was apparently also flooded. Migratory iceburgs.

Icebergs around Mt. Ararat?

The mountain of Ararat refers to the hill country of ancient Urartu, a country in eastern Asia Minor occupying parts of what is now Turkey, Iraq, Armenia, and Iran (cf. 2 Kings 19:37; Jer. 51:27). Contrary to a common misinpression, the Tanakh knows of no individual mountain named "Ararat."

Ooh. Thats how he kept the penguins and whatnot happy. Chopped off some ice from a friendly migrating iceberg, and took it aboard.

Next time on National Geographic, we take a look at the migratory patterns of icebergs during the great world-wide flood. Witness the breath taking footage of modern icebergs retracing their biblical routes as they travel South for the Winter! biggrin

I was thinking the icebergs would have melted, but come to think of it that's a lot of ice.

Well, that's one way. But then the industrial refridgeration unit would have gone to waste.

Seriously now, the Biblical flood probably only took place in one area, and 'all the animals in the world' were limited to the kind Noah would have known about. Penguins are a bit far flung from the Middle East.

*gets the sudden urge to draw a penguin riding a camel...*

Yeah, thats what the youth teacher said when I asked him about it, that the flood was only in that part of the world, and that 'all the animals in the world' really meant 'all the animals in that part of the world'.

Woah. Mega-post of Ownage. eek


No, seriosly.

[Uttered]

Those megaposts were extremely informative, thanks! I'm catholic myself and I know there are a lot of misconceptions and people think that all Catholics think the same way when it comes to religion. Its always really hard to make my friends understand Catholicism because they think it's really wierd how Catholics pray to Mary. It kinda of makes me feel like an outcast neutral when they simply brush me off and don't want to hear about it.

I also can see how the papacy isn't a perfect system either. I've just been reading about the Reformation and the forming of the Protestant churches, and I think that since that compared to then, the Church is doing better, but still has a few issues to work out.

all i have to say is "NOAHS ARK"

how the heck could someone fit 2 of every animalin the world on 1 freaking boat?!?!?!

The 'every animal in the world' part probably meant 'all the animals you know about'. It wouldn't involve wolves, tigers, etc- probably some sheep, and some snakes, some camels, two unicorns, and a bunch of other Middle Eastern-esque animals.

In't there a song that says WHY unicorns aren't alive still?

On topic: Yay for gay being accepted in the Church.

Other Misconceptions of Christianity

This post is dedicated to the more minor misconceptions Christians have. Here are some of them.

Misconception: Jesus was born on Christmas Day.

Response: Incorrect. Historians tend to put Jesus’ birth closer to March. Christmas used to be the time of the feast day Saturnalia, a pagan holiday taken over by the Catholic Church during their stamp outs of paganism. The Catholics have so many holidays because there was a lot of paganism to stamp out. ^_^

Misconception: There were 3 magi present at Jesus’ birth.

Response: Again, this is incorrect. There were zero magi present at the birth of Christ. Christ was born in a manger, and the Bible states that, when the magi appeared, Jesus was living in a house. Historians again like to place him at approximately six years of age. The other problem with this statement is that no one knows how many magi there were. The only thing we know is that there was more than one. People tend to assume there were three due to the three gifts given.

Misconception: Mary died a virgin, and Jesus had no brothers.

Response: This is a bone I hafta pick with Catholicism, though many others believe the same thing. The thing is, Mary WAS married to Joseph. Do you think that, just because Jesus was born, they wouldn’t consummate their marriage? At Jesus’ crucifixion, Christ said to his mother, “Dear woman, here is your son.” Then, to the disciple that Jesus “loved very much”, he said, “Here is your mother.” Jesus is obviously telling us that, yes, he does indeed have at least one brother. The disciple he loved very much is known in the gospels to be James, whom Jude claims to be brother of. So we can see that Jesus had at least two brothers.

Misconception: Some sins are more grievous than others, and some are unforgivable.

Response: This Christian myth was widely spread by the literary piece Dante's Inferno. Nice story, not so Biblical though. In the story, certain sins gained certain punishments. Fact of the matter is that all sins are created equal in the eyes of God, with exception to blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. This sin is the only Biblically listed unforgivable sin. While we on earth may see certain sins as worse than others, God says He will forgive ALL sins, with blasphemy exception. Therefore, since God mentions nothing in His Word of needing to do more for any one sin, it can be determined that all sins are equal. Things like the Deadly Sins and the Mortal Sins are non-Biblical Church dogma.

This section of the thread will grow as I think of more misconceptions, or see them used.

I hope you’ve enjoyed this little Bible School lesson. Perhaps it will at least inspire you to read the Bible for yourself, and not accept hearsay as truth. Doing that gets people like Fred Phelps into power.

It is thought that Jesus was also somehow related to "John The Baptist" Could this be his brother?
