Hi Contendah,quote: Originally Posted by Contendah:Some pretty basic stuff for you, Bill: The Bible does NOT say that there were only two of every kind of animal on the ark.

True, I did confuse Vic and Chick. For that, I apologize to both.
And, yes, I realize that God did place 2 of each species considered not clean in the ark, with 7 each of the clean species. But, since Chick's post only stated, "Genesis does not state that there were only two of every animal aboard Noah's Ark" -- that is what I addressed. No oversight, only addressing thie issue raised.
In hindsight, I can see where her post may have been alluding to the fact that God brought 7 of each clean species on the ark. But, in my initial reading, I saw it as her post denying that God had brought 2 each of different species on board. So, I most likely misread the intent of her post.
But, I am happy we cleared up that issue; for some others may also have been confused by it. Thank you.
God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,
Bill

Once more we see the practice of neverwrongology coming forth in a feeble attempt by you, Bill Gray, to 'splain why your WRONG wasn't really wrong! Here is what you posted:
<<<<Next, you tell us, "Genesis does not state that there were only two of every animal aboard Noah's Ark. Here's the "explanation."
Yet, we read in Genesis 6:19-20, “And of every living thing of all flesh, you shall bring two of every kind into the ark, to keep them alive with you; they shall be male and female. Of the birds after their kind, and of the animals after their kind, of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of every kind will come to you to keep them alive.">>>>
Do you know the meaning of "only", Bill, as in Chick's statement that, "Genesis does not state that there were only two of every animal aboard Noah's Ark"? In no way could you have read Chick's post in any halfway objective way without taking into account that key word, "only".
In no way could you have read what she posted and rationally concluded that she had denied that God had brought 2 of each species on board the ark. Objectivity and rationalism played no part in the composition of your response. You thought to prove Chick in error by quoting a verse that in no way contradicted what she posted.
I am the only male member of my household, Bill, but that does not prevent me from being a resident of my household.
There is only one Rock of Gibraltar, but that does not keep the Rock of Gibraltar from being the Rock of Gibraltar!
I could go on and on, but then I would risk entering that domain of excess verbosity that you so determinedly occupy!
