Wow...reading comprehension issue like I said.
No, Joel. Noah didn't DO anything. Noah did not cause the flood. Noah did not shut the door...Noah did not rain on earth. God did

The Ark...heavy from the weight, ran aground much like a boat hits a sandbar. Not until the second verse were ALL the mountain tops revealed. There is on contradiction.

I already explained that, twice now. Joel, the problem here is that not everything comes by Supernatural revelation...The word says "My people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge"...you need to learn how to read, take some grammar classes. take some courses in logic too

Again. 1 month a mountain top was exposed or just under the surface of the water. Month 10 ALL the mountain tops were exposed. The ark was HEAVY...you ever see a HUGE ship heavy? It rides LOW in the water...so if there was a mountain top just under the water the SHIP would have run aground on it

You weren't asking questions in search of the truth. You were asking those questions in hopes of starting an argument with someone so that you could beat them over the head and show them how you are right and no one else here knows anything about the Bible.

For seven months or so.
Genesis 8:4
And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.


For at least ten months.

Genesis 8:5
And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month: in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen

I already explained it. One --- the highest -- and then many later in ten months.

The mount of Ararat could have been submerged and yet high enough to the surface to cause the ark to rest, too, after seven months, but break the surface with more after ten months. Simple.

Smarter people than you or I have seen no problem with all of Moses' writings.

I can see how a ark might get stuck on a mountain top before land was seen.

Now can any one answer this.How long was the flood on the earth "

Genesis 7:17
And the flood was forty days upon the earth.

Genesis 7:24
And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days.

Genesis 8:3
And the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of the one hundred and fifty days the waters were abated.

Did Moses fear the king?

Moses feared the king.

Moses did not fear the king.

By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.
