Noahic Flood

*blog is currently a work in progress*

This blog is dedicated to the geological and archaeological evidence that has been found that points to Noah's Ark, and a global (or, Noahic) flood.

Here are a few great images of what is believed to be the Ark photographed at different times (no I don't know when). Personally, after examining the evidence I, too, see no reason to believe 

that this is not the boat that Noah and his family were in.

Culturally, we find stories of a flood all over the world that depict a man and his family being saved in a boat. (This does not discredit the true version of the Bible, rather it points to its accuracy, the fact that flood stories exist solidifies the fact that one happened.)

Below are some comparisons about the stories cited from: http://www.icr.org/article/570/272/

"Over the years I have collected more than 200 of these stories, originally reported by various missionaries, anthropologists, and ethnologists. While the differences are not always trivial, the common essence of the stories is instructive as compiled below:

1. Is there a favored family? 88%
2. Were they forewarned? 66%
3. Is flood due to wickedness of man? 66%
4. Is catastrophe only a flood? 95%
5. Was flood global? 95%
6. Is survival due to a boat? 70%
7. Were animals also saved? 67%
8. Did animals play any part? 73%
9. Did survivors land on a mountain? 57%
10. Was the geography local? 82%
11. Were birds sent out? 35%
12. Was the rainbow mentioned? 7%
13. Did survivors offer a sacrifice? 13%
14. Were specifically eight persons saved? 9%"
    
    
    And here is a nifty little chart of the stories also

Abortion and the Pro-Life Stance

Here you can find facts and resources on abortion and the pro-life stance. This page will continue to grow as I locate more resources I would like to list. I created this page because the reality is that we are killing our children. Whether or not it is legal is not my issue. I used to hold a pro-choice stance. I am now vehemently pro LIFE and do not condemn anyone in regards to their opinion about this  - I simply want people to know the truth and for those that do know the truth, to stop lying.

We are killing humans.

"There is a tremendous consensus in the scientific community about when life begins.  This is hardly controversial.  If the claim were made that life was discovered on another planet, for example, there are well-defined criteria to which we could refer to conclusively determine whether the claim was accurate.  How do scientists distinguish between life and non-life?

A scientific textbook called "Basics of Biology" gives five characteristics of living things; these five criteria are found in all modern elementary scientific textbooks:

1. Living things are highly organized.

2. All living things have an ability to acquire materials and energy.

3. All living things have an ability to respond to their environment.

4. All living things have an ability to reproduce.

5. All living things have an ability to adapt.

According to this elementary definition of life, life begins at fertilization, when a sperm unites with an oocyte.  From this moment, the being is highly organized, has the ability to acquire materials and energy, has the ability to respond to his or her environment, has the ability to adapt, and has the ability to reproduce (the cells divide, then divide again, etc., and barring pathology and pending reproductive maturity has the potential to reproduce other members of the species).  Non-living things do not do these things.  Even before the mother is aware that she is pregnant, a distinct, unique life has begun his or her existence inside her."

Biblical Submission

 The Biblical view of "submission" unraveled.

Some folks think that the Bible instructs women to submit to their husbands, in turn dismissing all their rights etc. .. that the husband rules the wife with an iron fist .. or in some way they have a negative view about the terms “submit” and "submission."

This view is a misconception, mostly stemming from the Bible being read out of context. If I may...

For starters, the Bible actually instructs us ALL to submit to one another (ref Ephesians 5:21) it repeatedly affirms that all men/women/HUMANS are equal...regardless of age skin color status or gender. (Galatians 3:28, Romans 2:11, John 13:16 to name just a few references)

Moving on, the term "submit" means to CHOOSE to care for and love someone with all your heart...to put them first in your life. (If this sounds odd then I must ask, why get married? Why unless you're saying "I want to know everything about this person, care for them, grow with them in every way and love and respect them, they mean more to me than, me" .. ?

In the marriage institution (Biblically) the husband is representative of Christ, the wife representative of the body (the bride, the entire born again population) so to get married means to display the choice of a partner, a lover, someone you are choosing to become "one" with...and since you are now "one" ... you treat them just as you would treat your own body (ref Ephesians 5:22-33, 1 Corinthians 7:4)

To clarify further... husbands are instructed to love their wives as Christ loved the church...not tell them what to do with their own opinions/hearts (unless guided by God) that way it is not the husband ruling/leading the marriage, it is GOD – Who the wife would be subject to as well. So there is no disputing who rules who. They are perfect equals. So there is a CO-submission going on, a constant act of loving your spouse and putting them first.

So...husbands loving their wives AS Christ loved the church = Christ DIED for the church...laid down His life so that "we might have it more abundantly." (ref John 10:10) Husbands are to live lives in which they have their wife's best interest in mind at all times...to lay down their lives for their woman to symbolize how Christ laid His down for all of us. That, my friends, is also SUBMISSION.

And wives are to want to learn about their husbands...love them actively as he actively loves her also…in whatever way(s) that may be for them.

You don't get married to find flaws in someone or change them to your liking, that is selfish and why (I feel, and sources claim) many marriages end in divorce, because of unrealistic and therefore unmet expectations of the spouse.

In marriage, we get to embrace someone for all that they are (baggage, issues and all) and love them with all our hearts, learn what makes them tick as they do the same with us allowing the marriage bond to grow and truly, "get better with age” in all ways.
