<< ... if God would forsake the people that he made many everlasting covenants with then he could change his mind again. >>
I agree. But, of course, that is the image that the men, who wrote the bible, wanted of God. Were they correct in their assumptions of God and of the events that followed Christ's death?
Look what God did to poor 600 year old Noah. He had this poor old man collect two of every animal, fowl and insect in the world. Noah had to travel to far away places, such as the north pole, top of Mount Everest, in order to collect insects that only existed in those places. Imagine the travel miles that Noah received! <g>
Poor old Noah, at 600 years old, probably had fairly severe coronary heart disease, hardening of the arteries and arthritis, but still had to travel throughout North and South American in his search for two fleas, male and female, two ticks, two of each type of ant, spider, beetle, fly, etc.
And then, poor old Noah had to load food for all creatures onto the Ark.
But, it must be true, since it was written two thousand years ago by religious fundamentalists. <g> |
