The radio Bible study dude was talking about Noah this past week. His point was that Noah remained faithful to God, even when people were making fun of him for building the ark, which he (the pastor) says took 100 years; but, as always, he let his imagination run away with him.
He ascribed the fact that Noah got all those animals on board without mayhem to God making them docile; and the need for having food for the animals being obviated by God putting them all in a deep sleep, so that the only food needed was for when they woke up.
My question was, “If God was willing to do all that, why didn’t He just build the ark? Or let Noah work on it for 5 years to prove his faithfulness, then present him with a fait accompli?”
Why do people who insist that others take the Bible literally, as it was written, get to add or subtract things to suit their interpretations?
(That question, of course, is as old as the Bible itself.)
