Question about Noah.

[Taz]

If there was a flood and Noah didn't have any asians or blacks on his boat, where did all the asians and blacks come from?

 

[Steven_R]

The Tower of Babel, of course. When God made everyone speak different languages, He also made them all different races and sent them all over the world.

When a story simply doesn't make sense, just insert the phrase "God did it" and it'll all work out.

 

[Luddly Neddite]

If we believe some, we are all the descendents of drunken incest but yeah, blacks, Native Americans, Asians, Hispanics - Where did they come from.

Since the bible thumpers don't believe in evolution, they can't say they just evolved.

Steven_R is right. Just say "god moves in mysterious ways". It covers everything.

Here's the answer to the question:

Genesis 6:19, "And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female."

Two of EVERY FLESH, male and female.

No, that does not address the question of where various ethnicities came from after god drowned everyone except drunken Noah and his family.

Noah and his family were not "of every sort".

 

[Steven_R]

Genesis 7:2 "Of every clean beast thou shalt take thee by sevens, the male and his female."

So which is it, two of every clean animal or fourteen of every clean animal?

Actually the better question would be where did the Blonde Hair Blue eye people came from?

Do you believe Noah was white?

Of course it does. See blacks and yellows and reds and browns aren't really people after all, just the blonde haired, blue eyed whites. So the takeaway is that Noah and sons are people, minorities aren't and thus racism and slavery and genocide aren't really crimes against people at all because minorities aren't people.

The Bible has all the answers.

Noah and his family were direct descendants of Adam (formed on the 8th day). The other races were created on the 6th day. Know your Bible before addressing it.

The Command to take "two of every flesh" is crystal clear.

Finally a breath of fresh air on these forums. You actually get it, good for you.

The Bible has all the answers.

Genesis 1:27, "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them."

Things to note about the above verse:

a) God created males and females (note the plural).
b) God created males and females simultaneously.
c) God "created" them. Keep the word "created" in mind. That's to say that they were created fiat by the power of His Word.

Then we have the account of Adam and how he was "formed" (note the word "formed" which is different than "created") from the dust (a pre-existing substance).

Genesis 2:7, "And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul."

"Created" = the Hebrew word "bara'" Stong's Concordance word #H1254
"Formed" = the Hebrew word "yatsar" Strong's Concordance word #H3335

So "blacks and yellows and reds and browns" ARE really people but just of a different line than Adam and his posterity.

So when the Bible says God drowned everybody but Noah and sons, it really didn't mean everybody but Noah and sons. It really mean, everybody but Noah and sons and all those minorities cause they aren't really the people from Adam.

 

[DriftingSand]

Genesis 7:2 "Of every clean beast thou shalt take thee by sevens, the male and his female."

So which is it, two of every clean animal or fourteen of every clean animal?

"Two of every flesh" (unclean) vs. seven of every clean animal (which means animals that were clean/edible for consumption).

 

[Steven_R]

So which is it, two of every clean animal or fourteen of every clean animal?

"Two of every flesh" (unclean) vs. seven of every clean animal (which means animals that were clean/edible for consumption).

It doesn't say two of every (unclean) flesh. It says two of every flesh and then changes later in the story.

If it's crystal clear, there shouldn't be any wiggle room.

Note the reason for the flood. God had been rejected and the world had turned to debauchery. God saw that it was time to clean up the mess. Also note that all the animals were also drowned in the flood (except for two of every unclean and seven of every clean). So it's not hard to accept that two of every kind of human were saved from the flood along with Noah, his wife, his three sons, and their wives. God kept them all alive to start over with a clean slate.

Two of every flesh WAS taken aboard the ark. Of the clean animals, an additional 5 of each was included. Problem solved.

 

[Taz]

So there were hundreds of people on the Ark? Don't think that's what the bible says. Anyways, how did the eskimos come to Noah? Did they use frequent flyer miles?

 

[The Irish Ram]

There were 8 humans on that boat, and God. We are not privy to the ethnicity of the wives of Noah's children, only that their DNA had not been altered by having sex with fallen angels.
Noah drank to much wine once. Which does not a drunkard make. And no incest occurred.
2 of every species were saved. The clean animals, that numbered more than 2 were used as sacrifices.

Gen. 8:20 "Then Noah built an altar to the LORD, and took of every clean animal and of every clean bird and offered burnt offerings on the altar."

So where do all the chinks, pigmies, spooks and other natives come from if there were only 8 peeps on the boat?

 

[The Irish Ram]

From the 8 peeps. One of which was described as "fair". Another was described as "dusky skinned." We are even told which ones went where globally.
