you can hand out and I'm really looking forward to
Encouraging people to come to church on Easter
We need some spiritual renewal and it's not gonna happen, you know on its own it takes
Men of faith to go out and to share that faith with other people
by preaching the gospel and also just even reminding save people that they need to get into church and
Start serving the Lord and so you can encourage that
I'm really looking for if Jesus Christ can die and go to hell for three days and three nights
I think we go soul winning for a few hours during that time, right? And so that's my
That's basically what I had to say about that. Also May 8th
We have the ladies tea in honor of Mother's Day. And so really looking forward to that event
The place that my wife picked out sounds really like a lot of fun and I know a lot of ladies are already signed up
We'll have a sign-up sheet when we get closer. We have the men's conference from May 20th of the 22nd
I I think that's mostly all I had for announcements at this time
Let's go ahead and go to our third song for the evening 315 take my life
So I'm 300 and was there another announcement I feel like there's another announcement
Yeah, yeah the the the Saturday
Easter egg event if you had Easter eggs, please make sure to bring those back to us and
Then we're meeting. Is it is it 10? Yeah, I think there's a sign-up sheets showing up at 10 a.m
The regular scheduled so winning time is that happening? It's canceled
So we're just gonna postpone this the so anytime meeting here at 10
You can go out so winning on your own or if you want to participate in the Easter egg
And again, just as a reminder it is for the other children. So it is for the apartment children, you know
Let's say it's all said and done and everybody's gone
You know, obviously we have to pick up just we're not leaving trash then you can allow your children to pick up spare eggs
But that is a very afterthought idea
Okay, so the goal is to just minister to them and and try to help them and so just as an FYI
I think that's all I had for announcements. Let's go ahead and go to our third song 315
Right again, that's 315 take my life and let it be so 315
Take my life and let it be
Consecrated Lord to thee
Take my hands and let them move
at the
impulse of my love
at the
impulse of thy love
Take my feet and let them be
Swift and beautiful
for thee
Take my voice and let me see
Always only for my king
Take my silver and my gold not
my would I
withhold
Take my moments and my days
Let them flow in ceaseless. Praise
Take my will and make it mine
It shall be no longer mine
Take my heart. It is thy known
It shall be thy royal
throne
It shall be thy royal throne
Good singing
All the offering plates are being passed around turn your Bibles to Genesis chapter 7 Genesis chapter 7
Genesis chapter 7 the Bible reads and
The Lord said unto Noah come thou in all thy house into the ark for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation
of every clean beast that shall take to thee by sevens the male and his female and of beasts that are not cleaned by
Two the male and his female a fouls also of the air by sevens the male and the female
To keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth
For yet seven days and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights
and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth and
Noah did according unto all that the Lord commanded him and
Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth and
Noah went in and his sons and his wife and his son's wives with him into the ark because of the waters of the flood of
Clean beasts and of beasts that are not clean and of fowls and of everything that creepeth upon the earth
There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark the male and the female as God had commanded Noah and
it came to pass after seven days that the waters of the flood were upon the earth in the
600th year of Noah's life in the second month the
17th day of the month the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up and the windows of heaven were opened
And the rain was upon the earth 40 days and 40 nights and the self same day entered Noah and Shem and Ham and
Japheth the sons of Noah and Noah's wife and the three wives of his sons with them into the ark
They and every beast after his kind and all the cattle after their kite and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after his
Kind and every fowl after his kite every bird of every sort and they went in unto Noah into the ark
Two and two of all flesh wherein is the breath of life and they that went in
went in male and female of flesh as God had commanded him and the Lord shut him in and
the flood was 40 days upon the earth and the waters increased and bare up the ark and it was lift up above the earth and
the waters prevailed and were
increased greatly upon the earth and the ark went upon the face of the waters and the waters prevailed
Exceedingly upon the earth and all the high hills that were under the whole heaven were covered
15 cubits upward did the waters prevail and the mountains were covered and all flesh died that moved upon the earth both the fowl and
Of cattle and a beast and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth and every man all in whose
Nostrils was the breath of life of all that was in the dry land died and every living substance was destroyed
Which was upon the face of the ground both man and cattle and the creeping things and the fowl of the heaven and they were
destroyed from the earth and Noah only remained alive and they that were with him in the ark and the waters prevailed upon the earth and
150 days as power heads for a quick word of prayer
Father we thank you for our church. Pray that you bless the remainder of the service and also Lord
I pray that you would fill pastor Shelley with your spirit
Give him the wisdom and clarity of mind tonight to preach a sermon for us
And also Lord help us to learn
Many lessons out of this story so that we can be better Christians moving forward and in Jesus name. I pray. Amen
Amen
Look back at verse number one again
The Bible says and the Lord said unto Noah come thou and all thy house into the ark for thee
Have I seen righteous before me in this generation?
and so we see that the Lord is allowing Noah and his family to come into the ark and
Specifically it's because of Noah's
Righteousness now I already covered in the previous chapter that Noah while being perfect
This does not mean that he's sinless and the Bible still tells us that Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord
So we understand that Noah is saved just like we're saved by grace and that at the end of the day
We he has the Lord
Righteousness imputed upon him and so he's just and and saved in the same way
We are but when it's talking about his righteousness here
I believe it's very clearly his literal righteousness in the sense that Noah is a righteous man
No is a guy who does right Noah's a guy who follows God's commandments
And that is why God is sparing him because of his righteousness. I had showed you a comparison of three other men
I believe it's it was Noah Daniel and Job and
And in a later portion of Scripture when the Lord's saying if I was gonna destroy this city
I wouldn't spare it because of these three men only they themselves would be spared
Showing that these men were very righteous men because Daniel and job when studying the Bible
It's very clear that they're different than everybody else. I mean God says about job that there's no one like him
He's the most upright man
He's one that eschews evil and so in comparison
Noah is also a very righteous person and you have to understand that
You know if we study some of the ages of these men like Methuselah
Methuselah most likely would have died either either right before the flood or because of the flood and other
You know Christians other saved people would have died. Okay. It's not like Noah is the only saved person on the
Planet I don't believe that I believe there was lots of other saved people
But they're gonna be washed away in the flood
Why because they're not prepared because they're not righteous because they're not doing that which is godly and so even though you may be saved
Spiritually that does not mean that God will spare you from all the evils that could happen to you physically on this earth
God can still take your life
We see a lot of people that are saved end up dying throughout the Bible as a punishment as a judgment upon them
And so when we take this story
Understand that being righteous has its benefit being righteous has its perk notice. Noah is being saved
Not only is he being saved his whole family
Here's another perk or benefit to being righteous that those that are under your shadow under your wing oftentimes
They're also gonna be grant granted that same mercy forgiveness or grace
Because you are a covering unto them and so, you know, it's important not only be righteous for your own sake
But even for your house is sake for your children's sake
because notice his whole family gets to come in the ark and we know that one of his sons are wicked a
Ham and his son Canaan, that's a wicked
Lineage a wicked genealogy. They do horrible sins. I mean Canaan, you know is basically gonna end up being the whole
Gentile nation that gets wiped out way down the line. I got to think about this
You got ham and then you have Canaan that's where you get the Canaanites
That's where you get the land of Canaan and they were all reprobate
I mean when it Bible describes these type of people
I mean these people were committing all kinds of sodomy and bestiality and they hated the Lord and
God had appointed this entire
group of people to destruction and some people ask why and it's because they're all a bunch of reprobates now
Obviously there could have been exceptions to that and we understand there's the Rahab
And there's the few other people that ended up getting spared but as a whole it was a reprobate nation
It was just an entire group of people that hated the Lord and rejected him. And so what am I teaching?
Well, I'm teaching this that being righteous has its benefit
It has its perk it can spare your children if you really care about your children
You would be righteous for their sake too
You would do that which is right for their sake and we see a lot of men
Doing wicked things and it affects the whole family
Aiken doing wickedly destroyed his whole family and there's a lot of men in the Bible that influenced their family for the worse
Noah is the exception here where he's influencing his whole family for the better
Okay. Now look at verse number two. The Bible says of every clean beast
Thou shalt take to thee by sevens the male and his female and a beast that are not clean by two
the male and his female so
Not only is Noah
Gonna be spared him his three sons and all of their wives meaning eight people
okay, but also animals and specifically the Bible is gonna give us a really specific delineation here clean beasts and
Then unclean beasts of these the clean beast he would take seven
Okay of the unclean he would take two and it basically a male and a female as far as the seven
I don't know what the delineation there is per se most likely is probably six pairs with one extra
Probably an extra male or something like that, but they would or maybe there's an extra female
We don't know but essentially at least one male one female and seven of the clean beast
It also then says in verse three of fowls
Also the ear by sevens the male and the female to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth
So the land-dwelling animals those you had seven clean two unclean of birds
Just seven just seven of basically every kind of bird that would exist
says in verse number four
For yet seven days and I will cause it to rain upon the earth 40 days and 40 nights and every living substance that I
Have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth and no did according unto all that the Lord commanded him and Noah
600 years old when the flood waters was upon the earth and no one in his sons his wife and his sons wives with them
into the ark because of the waters of the flood of clean beasts and a beast that are not cleaned enough fowls and of
everything that creepeth
Upon the earth there went in two and two unto Noah into the ark the male and the females God had commanded
Noah now what's interesting about this verse is apparently
The entering of the ark was only about a week-long period because he's basically saying or could have even less
But is essentially he had seven days for him and his family to finally get on the ark
Prepare themselves and of all the animals all the beasts are coming in this one special week
They're all coming to the ark and they're all coming in two by two now obviously atheists and people that hate the Bible
They really try to make fun of this story
They really try to attack this story from all kinds of different angles, and you know one of the angles would be like well
How do you get all the animals?
Well obviously if this is taking place in a seven-day period it would have to be a miracle, okay?
It's not like Noah is able just to go round up all these different animals in less than seven days and just get them all
You know it says very clear. They're coming
You know it says there went in two and two unto Noah into the ark so no
It just goes in the ark and the doors open and basically all the animals are just coming in
now
There could be another way to understand this a little bit obviously it's a miracle no matter what I mean it to some degree
It's a miracle, but even by natural means to some degree animals can sometimes sense
Changes in weather patterns and they may seek for a place of shelter
They may seek for a place of safety and obviously the the ark would have provided that potentially
But I don't think that it was just a purely naturalistic thing where the animals are just randomly running into the cages
You know perfectly to into the male and the female obviously this is a divine act by God
And God is allowing all the animals to come on the ark to be preserved by
Noah and for them to start over again as God is apparently not going to create everything ex nilo again
Just out of nothing
But rather he's gonna preserve a seed and then that seed is gonna end up being redistributed on the earth now
You may ask this question why I?
Mean couldn't God have literally just killed everyone like this and then just started back over again
Or couldn't you just saved all the men just saved no one his family killed every animal and started over again
Of course he could God could do whatever he wants right, but here's the thing God doesn't just do things randomly
You know it's not the Quran today. Okay. It's not just random verses that don't make sense that are incoherent
Ramblings of a pedophile, but rather they all have spiritual pictures
So why would God put all these things on the ark and then allow them to repopulate the earth well
Let me just give you the answer okay. It's a spiritual picture now. What's that spiritual picture?
What does the ark represent represents Christ represents?
salvation okay, and what's inside the ark the seed and
Then from that seed what happens you end up getting that seed to redistribute through the whole earth, and that's how you get
Reproduction well how do you get reproduction spiritually well whenever you're born again?
You have that seed inside of you, and then it goes from faith to faith, and that's how you
Repopulate the entire earth you know how to Christianity spread over the earth well
Just started with a few that then just continue to go from faith to faith
And then they exponentially grow and so God's using this picture of showing a preserved seed
then going out and
repopulating the earth as a picture of spiritual Christianity of how we have that seed and we go and we
repopulate the earth with
Christianity okay, so that's why God's using this
That's why God has these different pictures and these different animals
but obviously from a carnal sense the
Atheist and the God hater they love to make fun of this idea of all these animals being on the boat
They say well, how could you fit all these animals on the boat?
You know isn't there like billions and trillions of animals well first of all no
There's not that many okay, but I'm gonna give you some really specific numbers here in a moment
But at the end of the day nothing in the Bible while even though there's some miracles here
Is something that's contrary to?
Physical reality okay while it was a miracle that the animals came on the ark it wasn't a miracle that they fit
Okay, it wasn't a miracle necessarily that they could survive through a naturalistic explanation
What's the miracle is the fact that the animals are coming on the ark?
I would I'll grant you that there's no way to really explain from a naturalistic way that
Noah could just go in there and make all the different calls the bird
You know and then they come you know and he's making the duck and the dogs come in and the turkey you know
You know it's not gonna happen, okay, he's not gonna make all the animal noises, and they just come onto the boat obviously
That's a miracle by God
But everything else about this I believe is very easily explained or could be understood
And there's there's nothing super confusing
Atheists don't want to believe the Bible so they bring up stupid arguments or they bring up false arguments to try and discredit
Noah and the ark okay, but we'll explain that look at verse number 10
And he came to pass after seven days
That the waters of the flood were upon the earth and in the 600th year of Noah's life in the second month in the 17th
Day of the month same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up and the windows of heaven were opened
The rain was upon the earth 40 days and 40 nights in the cell same day entered Noah and Shem and Ham and Japheth
the sons of Noah
hmm and Noah's wives excuse me and
The three wives of his sons with them in the ark
They and every beast after his kind
And all the cattle after their kind and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind
Every fowl after his kind every bird of every sort and
They went in unto Noah into the ark two and two of all flesh where it is the breath of life now
That's an important verse. There is verse number 15
You know it's not that every single living creature got on the ark only specific creatures got on the ark
Land-dwelling animals that have the breath of life
Some people say well where did the octopus go well the octopus is in the water
Okay, you know where's the whale you know well the whales in the water, okay? This isn't talking about fish
It's not talking about whales. It's not talking about dolphins. It's not talking about any of those type of creatures
They obviously just existed in the sea
continually throughout this
Experience it's more talking about the land animals and it's talking about birds
Birds also have to breathe air now bird can fly for a while
But here's the problem the waters are gonna be on the earth for so long that even the birds would not be able to
survive
Without having some kind of a perch or some kind of a landing or some kind of protection on the earth and again
You know you say well, what about ducks can't they just kind of swim in a float?
Yeah, but again the duck is not gonna be able to just swim in the ocean for weeks upon weeks upon weeks
You know there's could be all horrible tidal waves and everything else
He can't drink saltwater either necessarily and be satisfied. What is he gonna eat?
I mean you know the duck he's not gonna necessarily have the food supply
So every bird and every land animal that is has the breath of life is going to die in this
cataclysmic event okay verse number 16
And they that went in when in male and female of all flesh as God had commanded him and the Lord shut him in
Now again, this is another picture of eternal security because once the Lord shuts the door
You can't get out and no one else can get in okay verse 17
And the flood was 40 days upon the earth and the waters increased and bear up the ark
And it was lifted up above the earth now that also tells me another thing you know some people have
Artistic drawings of an ark being in water already. This is just saying it's like on the ground
You know he just built it on dry ground and then the flood waters came and lifted the boat up off of the ground
And it started to float
Says in verse number 18 the waters prevailed and were increased greatly upon the earth and the ark went upon the face of the waters
The waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth and all the high hills that were under the old heaven were covered
15 cubits upward did the waters prevail and the mountains were covered that's also another important verse number 20
It's making it clear that this is a global flood
That it's not just a certain area or a certain portion of land
It's saying that in the entire earth the highest point of the earth the water was
15 cubits above it so we're talking about the highest peak of the highest mountain the water
Literally was 15 cubits above it and again a cubit is not even it's like an 18 inch
Measurement okay, so we're talking several feet above the earth over 20 feet above the highest mountain
And that's why when you go hiking and you go even to the highest mountains you go to Mount Everest
They'll find sea mollusks
And they'll find seashells and they'll find all kinds of sea life on the top of every single mountain
Just everywhere in there, and it's always incredible to them how they're finding it
and it's like oh this must have evolved over millions and billions of years and
It's like that's not a very good explanation of why there's sea creatures and see things on the top of a mountain
That's you know several thousands feet above sea level okay, but a global flood
That's really easy to explain why there would be all this type of
Oceanic life on the top of a mountain per se especially seashells
I mean seashells are just the most easy thing right you go to the beach the tide comes up rolls away
Just seashells galore everywhere, okay
It's one of the most easy things to find obviously that's gonna be left everywhere on the earth whenever there's a cataclysmic flood
Over the entire earth everywhere again this also
Makes the Flat Earth Theory look stupid
Because you know they have to basically draw a fishbowl or something that's keeping it in, but you know the Bible's making it clear
There's no point in which the water is not overflowing
Is it how can you have that on a flat earth you can't?
That's the problem, but on the on a sphere where everything's held in through gravity
There's no problem with the entire earth being covered in water in fact. That's how the world started
The world started with the water and in the Bible talks about the dry land
Appearing meaning the dry land was already there
It's just the waters must have abated in the same form or fashion
Where it came down and the lands being elevated and you get to see the land
But at some point the entire earth was covered in water again
We have it covered in water here as another example
But it obviously destroys every single living thing except for the ark
Another picture of the fact that you know the only way to be saved is through Jesus Christ
Everything about this is a picture of salvation right he's the way the truth and the life no man cometh unto the Father
But by me
It's not like some other animal or creature or human was able to just walk and swim or I was on my raft
There is no other boat. There is no other way. There was just everything died. Everything was destroyed
You're either on the ark and you're saved you're not and think about it. You're like, oh you're telling me
There's only one way to go to heaven. Yeah, just like there's only one way to be spared of the flood
There wasn't another way you say. Oh, that's so, you know exclusive, you know, it's you're just saying, you know that it's only one thing
Yeah, there's only one ticket in fact there was only one door into the ark
Think about that Jesus Christ at the door. It's not even there was multiple ways to get on the ark
There was one way to get into the one way of salvation just like there is spiritually. It's the same picture
It's the same concept you say oh you guys nitpick about you know, the gospel
Yeah, because there's only one doorway on that ark, you know
Some people can look at the ark and say that's salvation
But they're trying to get in through the roof or they're trying to get in through the window
And it's not gonna work. They try to repent of their sins. They try to believe in all kinds of other false ways of salvation
They don't believe in eternal security
Look, we're gonna fight over that just like we understand that the ark is one ark and there's one door
That's how salvation is. There's one way into
Salvation everything else is going to be destroyed wiped, you know off the face of the map
Look at verse 21 and all flesh died
that moved upon the earth both of fowl and of cattle and
Of beasts and of every creeping thing that creeped upon the earth and every man that's clear
Now look at this all in whose nostrils was the breath of life of all that was in the dry land died
So obviously this isn't saying octopus died and whales died now, obviously
I do believe that a lot of sea life did die, but not all of them
Okay
there would have been of course whales and octopus and sharks and fish and all kinds of sea creatures that died in this event to
No doubt, but there was plenty that that were alive. There's plenty that survived in that event as well
Okay, it says in verse number 23 and every living substance was destroyed
Which is upon the face of the ground both man and cattle and the creeping things in the flower
Foul of the heaven and they were destroyed from the earth and Noah only remained alive and they
That were with them in the ark and the waters prevailed upon the earth notice this in hundred and fifty days now
That's a long period of time. In fact, it's about a year from when they actually then get off the ark too
Okay, because it's just saying that the waters prevailed. What does it mean by prevailed?
It's just saying that they're above the highest point of land for a hundred and fifty days
Meaning nothing had a chance. I mean birds may have been able to survive for a while
Arguably, I mean it's very reasonable to think that they could have survived for a very long period of time
You know, I'm gonna get into a lot of the flood aspects next week
You know as far as like the geologic
Time scales and all these things because they're always like oh at the bottom
It's like sea creatures and you know things that couldn't swim very well and then things that could swim and then things that could run
And then you know things that could fly and it's like yeah, cuz that's just basically who was gonna die first and last
Okay, obviously birds were gonna die kind of last but I want to focus on the art for a moment
And I want to focus on how many animals went on the ark
Okay, cuz I think this is a good chapter who we're talking about all these animals going on the ark, you know
How many animals realistically got on this ark? Was it even a possibility?
You know, you always hear these people talk about how did all the animals get on the ark and blah blah blah
But the reality is is it's very reasonable to understand this now
I looked up a couple creation ministries just to see what they have to say. Okay, so I looked up
one ministry is called
Bible study org Bible study org and
They claim that approximately
35,000 creatures were on board the ship. Okay, so they say like
35,000 and then they say well
but there's this other book by another guy named John would more rap and it states only about
2,000 animals would have needed to be on the ark. They're saying
35,000 this other guy named John is saying about
2,000 animals if you go to answers in Genesis org, which is a pretty
popular creation ministry
They claim that Noah only had to take two of every kind or family and that would have been about a thousand animal kinds
But that's less than seven thousand animals on the massive ship. So they're claiming that maybe about seven thousand in this article
I've seen also there was a debate between
Kenham and Bill Nye and
Forgive me for the year. I want to say it was like either 2014 or 2015 somewhere in that range and
According to that debate. I think at that time Kenham had said something about
14,000 animals, okay
So, you know
Is it possible to have these type of numbers or these type of animals and a lot of atheists and then with scoff?
at some of these numbers, but you know what I did is I just you know
Ignored the creationist viewpoint and I just went what is the secular?
World say like how many animals does just the world say not just these creation because they're biased, right?
Can we really trust them to necessarily give us this information? Not necessarily
Although I do believe that they probably did the same thing. They went to secular
Researches, you know and basically tried to figure this out, but you can go to Wikipedia and you can find an animal list that they have
okay, Wikipedia and
How many animals that they claim that there are?
Now in their list their list includes virtually
Everything. I mean they're they're including all kinds of stuff. They're including reptiles mammals amphibians even
birds and
Sea creatures like whales and all that kind of stuff
so all I did is I took out all the creatures that would have not been on the art for sure like the
whales
shark dolphin porpoise these type of sea lion these type of creatures and
Then to be even more conservative just to make sure that I'm covering my bases
I even went more liberal on the birds and
Some of the other creatures that would have been on the ark to try and give the most conservative
Estimate of going like on the high end basically saying like what's about the most that could have been on the ark
Reasonably based on what we see today
Well according to them they have about 283 animals listed, but I I found only about a hundred and seventy-two
Animals
Would have potentially been on the arcana and this is
amphibians
Reptiles and mammals okay, so we're not we're excluding birds for a moment. Okay birds is its own category
Okay, then I went to birds of birds today. There's an about
11,000 known species of bird okay
11,000 known species of birds now
I had a really hard time finding any kind of list other than the one I already mentioned
Where I was categorizing birds, so what I did is I basically took that list and I would just look at the list see the common
type
Birds that would be there, and I tried to make my own
Classification and again I was going very
conservative with this you know
commonly Ravens or J's or
Peacocks or just basically just trying to clump these animals and
Of the
11,000 species by me making my own classifications trying to be pretty conservative
But saying consistent with the Bible as far as kinds are considered. I came up with
292
Hype's of birds and
That was ninety three point three eight percent of that eleven thousand so almost of all those eleven thousand
I was almost able to cover all of them within the
292 by coming up with the common names, you know I'll give you a few examples
Okay, and you won't even know it. I can't even pronounce these very well. Okay a centaur
albatross and
pita
antrike and vireo ant-ren
Apollos, so that's just that's some of the ones that I'm classifying here, okay
So we're going real and you know ones that you've heard of maybe a Picard a bishop a blackbird a bluebird a Bob white
I've heard of the Texas Bob white
You know it's kind of a famous bird or the buzzard a canary a cat bird
Yes, that exists a chicken. You probably heard of this chicken, okay?
But basically classifying them that's about how many birds that I came up with now. Here's the thing I also
Have for several years been every time I'm reading my Bible if I come across an animal any kind I write it on a list
So I had my own list of all the animals mentioned in the Bible to the best of my ability
I could have obviously missed one, but I'm just saying that I've tried really hard to come up with them
I've come up with about 84
different kinds of animals mentioned in the Bible, but of those I found six of them
We're not on any of these lists, okay?
Which six okay behemoth a
cockatrice a
dragon
Leviathan a pygarg and a unicorn which again
I'm going conservatively because a pygarg it's most likely gonna be in the deer antelope goat family, okay?
But I'm just trying to be conservative here and a unicorn is most likely a type of rhinoceros or something similar to that, okay?
And so I came up with those also looking at other lists and trying to get to be very conservative
just kind of other
Amphibians reptiles and mammals that I found on other lists. I marked off all the ones that had already included. I found about another
14
Okay
Which I think most of them were probably already included, but I'm just again trying to go really
Conservative on species versus kind then also I included insects, okay, and
There's a list of insects common names. There's about 61
This is about
The list that I have now. I'm not saying this is perfect
I'm sure if I took more time and research and studied and looked at all these I would change these numbers to some degree
But most likely the only thing that would happen is they would go down they wouldn't go up
Okay, I'm saying that these are very conservative
Numbers are very conservative estimates and and I'm gonna get into these a little bit further
But I just want to give you guys a chance for a moment. Okay, I
Because I have some like gift cards in here if you can come up with a common name of any animal or bird
That I don't have on my list right now. I'll give you a gift card
Does anybody want to try if you can think of any any animal or any bird the common name?
And if we're not sure we'll look it up real quick, but I'm just giving you an opportunity
What secretary bird a
Secretary bird. I don't think I have that one, but I want to look it up
Anybody else have another guess? Well, I'm looking this one up a
Dodo I didn't have that one on my list so I you can come up and get one. I
Know I didn't have that one
But we don't know if it's real so
I'm just giving you the benefit of the doubt. I definitely don't have a secretary
Let me look this up because you may be in luck here
You
Hey, we have a secretary bird you can come on down I like it I like it a
Woodpecker I got that one. That was a good guess though
Mollusks
See, I don't think that that's a land land dwelling animal though. I
Didn't include that one
Snails I have snails and stuff like that
Owl yes, I do good guess
Cardinal I got Cardinal for sure
Woolly mammoth, I don't have that one. So I'll give you I'll give you a card on that one
A kookaburra I got that one. That was a good guess though, Australia
Alright, well, I appreciate you guys playing with me. Alright now again saber-toothed tiger. I didn't put that on there
But you could argue that
The woolly mammoth came from elephants. You can argue that the saber-toothed tiger came from
Lions tigers and everything. So I'm going really conservative with my list. I'll give you an idea
Okay, we got a little bit of time. Here's the list of the animals that I have aardvark alligator alpaca
a knoll and an eater antelope eight armadillo donkey or ass
baboon badger barracuda bear beaver
Bitter wrong bison boar bobcat
Budgie
Buffalo camel capybara
Caracao caribou cassowary cat cattle now, there's a word in your Bible. It's
ch a m o
is
Can anybody pronounce that word?
And
Why yeah, there you go good job or it's chamois really is what it's supposed to be pronounced chamois or chamois
I guess it's like French or something like that. So whenever you come you like camois, but it's chamois or chamois. Okay
then cheetah
Chicken well chickens on the bird list chimpanzee chinchilla a cough a Cody a cobra
Cod cougar coyote crab
Crocodile curlew deer d hole. I don't know what that is
dingo
Dog a donkey again, which some of these are even doubled because I didn't even take them off a dugong Dunlin and
Chidna
Elan elephant elk emu ferret fisher Fox frog guar gazelle gecko gannett
gerbil giant panda
giraffe new goat gorilla
Guanico
guinea pig goal hamster hare hedgehog hermit crab hippopotamus
hopes in horse hyena
ibex ibis iguana impala
jackal jaguar
Jeroboa kangaroo
kinkajou
koala cod cod komodo dragon kookaburra
kupre kudu
Langer let's we limmer leopard lion lizard llama loris lynx
MacKay
Mammoth, I did have mammoth
Mandrill margay
Marmoset marmot meerkat mink mole mongoose monkey moose, which I don't know why I guess it's the same mouse newt
Nilgai ocelot, you know what an ocelot is anybody know an ocelot is
If you go to the Fort Worth Zoo, they got one
Leper there you go. Good job. And then we have a copy on Scylla opossum orangutan
Oryx otter ox
Panther panda pig Pika polar bear pony porcupine prairie dog pug. Why is that pug and dog?
Pugs like the worst and dog, okay
rabbit raccoon
Ram rat red deer red panda, which was there's been pan and red panda
Come on reindeer or caribou rhinoceros sake salamander salmon sasabe
serval sheep shrew siamang skink
I don't know what a skink is versus skunk, but skipper skunk sloth snail
snake
Squirrel which again they had snake and Viper and different ones that I've mentioned already squirrel tamarind taper
Tarse tarseer tiger toad topi turtle the Kenya
vinegar own
Viper wallaby water buffalo weasel wolf Wolverine wombat yak zebra
It also gives you an insight a couple other things
Adam naming the animals right that didn't even take me that long
To get through a list and I believe that some of these are probably overlapped
Because at the end of the day you say the Bible saying every kind of animal, okay
It's not saying every species. It's saying every kind now when it comes to
classification of animals
Modern science has their own classification. They have domain
Kingdom
Phylum
They have class
Order
Suborder
They have family
And then for sake of time over here genus and
Then species, okay, and they all go
They get even more specific as they go all the way down species is kind of the bottom level for the most part
And when it comes to kind of animal a lot of times it's going to be more like the family rather than the species
Okay, you have to understand when it comes to classifications, you know
And the distinction according to the Bible is that everything brings forth after its own kind so they can mate
Then it would be the same kind of animal meaning you wouldn't have to have
Multiple dogs you wouldn't have to have multiple cats who wouldn't have to have multiple these other animals if they can breed
Then they would be the same kind of animal
But even from there even just the world if I'm just looking at these animals
There's only about a hundred and seventy two of
You know
mammals
amphibians reptiles an amphibian is basically
You know able to be in water
Reptiles are kind of in the water to some and then you have the mammals that are mostly land-dwelling
Obviously these exceptions these of the few
Exceptions that I think we're probably already covered, but I just included
One was salamanders, which I remember reading on that list but one was Sicilians Sicilians are like blind
Worms that look like snakes or something. Okay. I don't even know if they were necessarily on the ark but looking it up
I guess worms can breathe
Somehow air or something. I don't know. Maybe there was worms on the ark. I don't know. I don't really care
I doubt it. They were probably just in the ground for that period of time. Okay other reptiles
That I didn't clear it didn't include was a tuatara and
Worm lizards, okay, which is that different than worms or lizards? I don't know. All right of the mammals a platypus
opossums hyraxes Tasmanian devil Tasmanian wolf
Are they really different enough to be a different kind though?
I don't know. They probably are about the same numb bats marsupial moles bandicoots chipmunks and
pakarana or
Hakkas, okay. Now again, a lot of these rodents and marsupial type
rodents and animals could have possibly just been two weasels and you know and the weasels are two
Rodents of you know mice or something or basically reproducing all of these different
Breeds, I mean is the squirrel even, you know possibly related to the weasel. We don't know. I don't know necessarily
Okay, but I included both of them just to be safe right in these numbers
When it came to insects
Okay, only about 61. I'll give you a few on the list ant
aphid back swimmer bat bug bed bug be beetle bug bumblebee butterfly caterpillar centipede
cicada
cock chafer cockroach
Choreid bug cricket dragonfly earthworm earwig firefly flea fly grasshopper
Lace wing green fly ground beetle grub horsefly lace bug ladybug leaf beetle leaf insect locust louse
maggot
Mantis mosquito moth Nima toad plant bug and they all plant bugs on
scarab beetle snail snake fly spider stag beetle stink bug stonefly sucking louse
Syrphid fly termite thrips by Sanura tick toad bug tree cricket walking stick wasp
water scorpion water strider
White fly again. Some of these are multiple beetle types. They could have been even less than that
I don't even know bugs had to get on the ark, but they're not gonna take up that much that much space
Okay, let's be honest now when it came to the birds again, you know, I came up about 292
I'm not gonna read all of them because I would just not be able to pronounce half of them at least
Because there's just all kinds of variations
but you look up these birds and they you know to the normal person who's not studied and a
What is it a Volody or something and Aves and birds would not be able to tell the difference?
I mean it'd be like one's a little bit blacker than the other one or one's like a red tail
Versus a white tail or what? I mean to us we would just be like all birds look alike
Okay, they say all Asians look alike. Well all birds look alike, okay
And then of course we have a few different
Animals mentioned in the Bible that I've already covered. So based on this list and I tried to be really
conservative okay with our numbers
With the things that we have let's try to figure out how many animals would have been on the ark a pretty conservative
Estimate, okay based on the numbers that I gave you
If we have this many we have to understand how many we have to multiply by because there was
Not two of every animal some were seven so the clean right don't we went to the Deuteronomy chapter 14 go to Deuteronomy chapter 14
And let's try to figure out how many clean land animals would have been on the ark. Okay
Deuteronomy chapter number 40 now, it's covered in Leviticus chapter number 11 as well
It covers of the clean and the unclean beasts
I think Deuteronomy 14 is a little bit clearer of a list for what we're looking at. But look at verse number three
Thou should not eat any abominable thing. These are the beasts which he shall eat the ox
the sheep and the goat the heart and the roebuck and the fallow deer and
The wild goat and the pygarg and the wild ox and the sham wah, all right or the shammy
Okay
However, you want to say that and then it says this and every beast that part of the hoof and cleave it the cleft
Into two claws and chew at the cut among the beasts that you shall eat now, how many animals do we count?
Anybody got a number for me
More than six
Ox sheep goat heart roebuck fallow deer wild goat pygarg wild ox sham wah
10 yeah 10 but again
Can we say with absolute certainty that the heart?
Roebuck and fallow deer are all different kinds of animals. They could be the same kind
Also, we can't say it's limited to 10 because maybe is another clean beast that we're not thinking of
Basically what I did is I just decided about 12. I'm trying to be pretty conservative of clean beasts. Let's say we had about 12
How many you're supposed to have?
Seven
Okay, so this is our clean
That would give us what 84
84 clean beasts right on the arc
If the hundred and what I have a hundred and ninety two, I believe of the hunt
I'm sorry of the hundred in
I think I had included these differently
We have a hundred and I had a hundred and seventy two. Okay, we have to minus 12. So that would give us a hundred and sixty
Unclean
Okay, but we're time using this by two how many we get
Right and 20, all right
So that would give us or produce for us what 404
That's about 404 land animals that are on the arc and when it comes to pairs again, it's a little bit different it's a hundred and
seventy two
Okay
Now we also had 14 others, so I just want to make sure I got those so the other we had 14
They would have been times two
There have been another 28
so we basically have a hundred and
86 as well as
432 so land dwelling animals including reptiles amphibians and mammals about 432
Also, we had of the birds, okay, this is basically our land animals
Something goes moo. All right something goes tweet
Alright of our birds I had 292
Now how many do we multiply this one by
Seven yeah, exactly
This one is gonna be a little bit bigger
2044
Now I think the 292 is probably a very generous number. I believe it could have been way lower. I'm just trying to
Basically go about as high as you possibly can go based on the Bible narrative to get to these numbers. Okay, and
Then of the insects, I don't know if you considered the clean versus the unclean
I just went and gave them the clean because the Bible says there was clean insects
I think they're all dirty, but you know God's right and I'm wrong. Okay. Look what it says in later in chapter 14
It says
Let me find my place here
Maybe it's in Leviticus 11 that I found that
Yeah, every creeping thing that fly let's go back to Leviticus chapter number 11 real quick
I
Think gives us our list
Look at the lillies chapter 11 verse number 21
Yet these may eat of every flying creeping thing that goes upon all four
Which have legs above their feet to leap withal upon the earth even these of them you may eat the locusts after his kind and
The bald locust after his kind and the beetle after his kind and the grasshopper after his kind
But all other flying creeping things which have four feet shall be abomination unto you. Basically I have like
Four mentioned but I'm you know, I think the locusts are basically the same so I gave him about three. Okay for the insects
Three times seven gives us 21 plus we add I think 58 others 58
Times two will yield a hundred and sixteen
Which will give us
137 insects. Okay, that's not hard to believe that there's probably more
Okay, that just somehow would have gotten on there potentially and they can multiply very quickly
So basically with our numbers we have about 432 land animals. We have about
2044 birds from a very very very conservative
Estimate could they have fit on the earth could this number of animals fit on the earth? Well, if you remember our boat
Okay, this is a crude boat it was 300 cubits by 50 cubits and
Then another 30 cubits height
Okay, which is 450 feet
by
75 feet this would yield
33,750 square feet
But it was three layered so it'd be times three
Okay, so if we decide okay, let's say we're gonna put all the land animals on the bottom
so we got land animals and
then the next layer we got birds and
The top we got food and Noah
All right
well
if you divide the
33,750 by the number of
Types of animals. Okay, so we're gonna assume we're gonna put all the sheep in one cage
We're gonna put all the lions in one case. We're not gonna separate male and female here. Okay, they get to bunk with each other
All right, we're not gonna separate married couples. Okay
If we divide that by the hundred and eighty six now
I want to make sure I get this one right because I think I mean something but
You
We get a hundred and eighty-one square feet
her cage or the land animals
That would be like a 10 by 18 cage and we're not even considering height here. Okay, we're just saying like just their own
10 by 18 square footage, but that wouldn't necessarily a lot for
Walkways and other things like that, but you could even knock this down by quite a bit
That's a lot of room for just you know, two sheep two dogs two cats
I mean we're talking about a very considerable cage for them as far as the birds are concerned. Okay, that's a lot bigger number
but if we
Multipliers I divide this number again by the number of birds that would yield under them
116 square feet
for the birds
And here's another thing we're not considering you're not considering height
Okay, it very well could have that in this arc, which is 30 cubits high which would be approximately 50 feet tall
You're talking about 15 16 feet between decks. They could add some of these things stacked
I mean, have you ever seen a chicken coop or have you ever seen any kind of bird thing?
I mean, they're stacking cages of these animals. We're saying that birds seven birds would be in one cage
That's a hundred and sixteen square feet each
There's no way he would have built the cages that big it was obviously way smaller than that
And then with the food and Noah, I mean, let's say he lived in a 3,000 square foot home
I mean, he's got another 30,000 left around for food
Very reasonable, you know
It's not a hard stretch of the imagination to realize that they could have fit on this arc
Okay, and we're going with very conservative numbers
In total what would be our totals? Okay, because we have
432 plus 2044 we're talking
2476
animals and then 137 insects, okay
Approximately. I think that's an extremely conservative estimate. I think there's probably way lower than that
I think the guys that are saying a thousand or two thousand are very much in the ballpark of how many hours it could have
Been a lot less when we come into those calculations now
Other things that people will say about these numbers though because Ken Ham's number was you know, like fourteen thousand
Which could have still conservatively fit on the arc actually when you consider how big the arc was
but in the debate that
Ken Ham had with Bill Nye, Bill Nye tried to make fun of the idea that
From the time that the animals got off the arc
This amount of animals to the amount of animals we see today would be impossible
Okay, he's gonna claim and he made this claim in his
his presentation
Which I'm gonna come back over here and I'm gonna kind of illustrate his claim and
Ken Ham sucks at debating so I figure I'll just go ahead and pick up his argument for him, but
This is what Bill Nye said he said that Ken Ham was claiming that it's been about 4,000 years
since the flood okay, and
That there was about 7,000 kinds because he's saying there was 14,000 animals approximately
7,000 kinds of
Animals and then he's saying today. This is what Bill Nye says he says there's 16
million species of animals
Okay, and he's saying based on this numbers if you took the number of species that exist today and
you divided it by 4,000 and
Then you divided that by 365. So basically how many species would have to have come into existence every single day?
He said that there would have to be 11 new species every single day
And he's like you would go outside and you would see
11 new species of birds every single day
Okay. Well first of all
Let me let me explain the things that he's saying
Even if it was 11 new species every day. This isn't only birds
Okay, so even if you were gonna say that this was true it wouldn't be 11 new birds every single day
It'd be 11 new species across all animals that exist
But there's something that Bill Nye is
Doing to pad his numbers that he didn't tell anybody and Ken Ham's too stupid, I guess to point out
But there is not 16
Million species on the earth or anywhere close to that. You know, what's included in this number
Bacteria
And invertebrates and
sea creatures and
Everything. Okay. Now I looked up a couple different articles. They're not you know, Christian websites or anything like that
How many animal species are there? Okay
According to this website they claim that there's one
point two five
Million
Species of animal. Okay, and then they're gonna tell you what this includes. Okay
950,000 of them are insects
Okay
then
70,000 are
mollusks I
Guess cuz every single one's like a snowflake. It's special or something, you know
So special
40,000 are crustaceans
You
None of these are on the ark there may be some insects, okay, but again, I already point there's only 61 kinds
Okay, approximately and then they say 300 130 thousand others. Okay, but when it comes to amphibians
Reptiles birds and mammals. Okay, and I'm running out of room. So I'm gonna have to erase these days this date every once in a while
There's five thousand seven hundred and forty three amphibians
Eight thousand two hundred forty reptiles
9800 birds I've seen a new estimate as 11,000 and then five thousand four hundred and sixteen mammals. So basically nineteen thousand
399
Animals like we think of like land animals
Okay, and then they're claiming 9800 birds, which will say eleven thousand because that's the other article
It was a Wikipedia article with literally a list of all the birds and it was eleven thousand on them
So I'll take their number over that now
That's a little bit different than this 16 million number that Bill Nye is coming up with the disprove the ark
But you know why because Bill Nye is an idiot and he's not even a real scientist. He's like an engineer or something
He's not even a legitimate
Biologist or you know an accredited scientist in one of these fields
He's just like an engineer or something that had a TV show that was stupid. Okay
But if we take the real numbers
Okay, if we take the number of land animal species and birds that exist today and we do the same calculation that
Bill Nye did okay
Now you have to think about this. This is how many they exist in totality
Of of these you would basically have to have and this I did to 11,000
Okay, but let's just I'm using the same line here if 11,000 bird species exist and we're going back to the flood
Which was actually four thousand six hundred and fifty years ago a little off there
That would mean there was two point three six new species of bird
Every year
And that's a little bit different number
Than what he's saying eleven new species every single day
No, there was about two point three new species of bird
every single year
Since the flood now, that's a pretty reasonable number. That's something that could actually make sense and fall in line
When it comes to mammals reptiles and amphibians it varies from one point one six
one point two three and
one point seven seven
new species of
Mammals reptiles and amphibians every single year now again
This is not saying that there is a new kind of elephant every single year
It's saying of all the animals that I mentioned they would come up with a new
Species of one of those or two of those at most every single year
So it could be like a new type of lizard the green lizard as opposed to the red lizard. Okay one year
I mean very reasonable numbers very reasonable statistics now, let's think about this. Is that really even possible?
Well, let's think about dogs for a second. Okay. I know you all love dogs in here, right?
Zip no dogs allowed on the sticker over there, right?
I'm talking spiritually and
Physically, I don't want them but according to the American Kennel Club. Okay, according to the American Kennel Club
And I don't give you a lot of numbers but some people like numbers all right, it's in the book
It's in the Bible. Okay the book of the Bible
there's a hundred and ninety-five breeds a dog according to the American Kennel Association and
79 additional seeking to be recognized as legitimate dog breeds
But they claim you know as if you study history on dogs really dog breeding really came into existence about
1850s or the mid
19th century
Meaning and only about a hundred and fifty years or a hundred and seventy years
We have well over that number of dog breeds that exist
So that's about one per year of a very specific species of animal
We're not even talking about all of the mammals of all their different variations
We're talking about one specifically is literally coming up with a new breed virtually every single year for the last hundred and fifty
170 years so is that reasonable? It's already happening
Through selective breeding of dogs. That's how you get the Chihuahua and the pug
Okay, and all the other animals that exist today, and so it's not unreasonable to
You know look at these numbers and think you they they get so mad and they say you really think
That we have the 11,000 species of birds today from 4,000 years ago
Off of Noah's Ark
There's really like seven that were existent, and I'm like you think that birds came from dinosaurs a billion years ago
and
Then you think that came from a rock?
How is that more scientific? How is that better understanding of the world that we live in and here's nothing they've never seen animals
Evolve or change from one kind of an animal to another it's never happened now look I believe
and
Agree with the definition of evolution if you look it up on Wikipedia as far as its very beginning definition
Let me read for you evolution is change and heritable characteristics of biological populations
over successive generations
So it's saying some of the characteristics that you inherit from your parents change over generations. I
Agree says these characteristics are the expressions of genes that are passed on from parent offspring during reproduction
Agree with that different characteristics tend to exist within given population a result of mutation genetic recombination or other sources of genetic variation
still agree evolution occurs when evolutionary processes such as natural selection and
Genetic drift act on this variation resulting in certain characteristics becoming more common or rare within a population
It is a process of evolution that has given rise to biodiversity at every level of biological organization
including the levels of species
individual organisms and molecules I
Agree with all of that
They're saying hey
Different kinds of animals have genetic variation and they form different kinds of species over time through natural selection
That's witnessed by everybody dog breeds instantly proves that no one disagrees
The problem is they go beyond this definition and they start saying that well
Also macro evolution
We believe in that which means that different kinds of animals change into different kinds of animals like a dinosaur becoming a chicken
okay, or
You know a rock turning into a single-celled organism and that single-celled organism turning into a fish and then that fish
Getting legs and then those legs, you know turning into
Gorilla and then a man and then we have today that is not what this is saying
That's different that's a different kind of
Definition of evolution and really the who's the father of evolution Charles Darwin
Charles Darwin did not observe kinds of animals changing guys, you know
Charles Darwin did he went to the Galapagos Islands and he saw different kinds of finches with different kinds of beak sizes
That's what he that's what he witnessed
Okay
Look it up Darwin's finches ones had big beaks one had small beaks and based on this he came up with the
concepts of evolution which he's
Observing that these different birds mate with each other and they produce different characteristics some are beneficial some are not as beneficial
Long beaks can be beneficial in certain cases short beaks the middle beaks
They kind of just were screwed right lukewarm and you just fuse the other mouth, right?
But here's what's interesting about all this, okay
We're talking about different kinds of animals evolution these type of things
Well based on the theory of evolution and all these different things he wrote a book
Here's Charles Darwin's book on the origin of species by means of natural selection
So he's saying where'd all these species come from they come from natural selection, which I agree with
But then this is the rest of that title because I didn't finish he said or the preservation of favored
Races and the struggle for life
You know what? He did he equates species to another word
race
race now if
Macro evolution was true. Okay, and we have to understand what what they're saying
Macro evolution says that different kinds of animals transform into other kinds of animals and then the stronger animals kill the weaker
Animals through the process of natural selection and that's just life. Okay
Well, then if species is equivalent to race, what is he saying about mankind?
That the difference between you and me is a completely different species
Different race and that there's no problem in eliminating inferior species or inferior races
They say I don't know if that's the conclusions that they would come up with
Well, here's a quote from Charles Darwin and the descent of man at some future period
Not very distant as measured by centuries the civilized races of man will almost certainly
exterminate and replace the savage races throughout the world
Hey, you want to know where race comes from?
evolution
You know where it doesn't come from the Bible
Because if I look at different birds with different beaks and say oh, they're different kinds of species
Then what's the difference me getting 10 men lined up here and say well the tall ones are different species than the short ones
Or
The ones that have hair are different than the ones that don't have hair
or the ones that have blue eyes are different the ones that have brown eyes or
As the world likes to say well what has dark skin and the other one has light skin
Or one eyes are taller and wider and some are more slanty. I'd oh
That sounds racist. No, it's just reality and
Is a stupid and an infantiles it would be for me to make all these distinctions?
Between all these different men is the same to make them between the animals look everything produces after zone kind
You know why we're all the same because we can all reproduce. It doesn't matter what color skin. You are they can all reproduce
That might trigger a lot of white supremacist
But you know what black men can be with a white woman, and they produce a in the middle of the road child mulatto
Okay
Look at tiger. He's like every race mixed together
He's like Asian and black and white and all of them and even your your favorite person Obama
Obama's like his dad's like darkest night, and his mom's white as snow
Obama
Okay, the reality is it's the same kind race is a made-up
ill-conceived idea
That the world wants to propagate and you know everybody's getting cancelled when is Charles Darwin gonna get cancelled
When is macro evolution gonna get cancelled one of these evolutionary by you know biology is gonna get canceled
You know it was responsible for the apartheid. Oh
Yeah, where they segregated blacks and whites by saying that different people were inferior to other people based on evolution
Based on Charles Darwin's idea based on the same thing that Hitler used to classify different people as being inferior or superior
Based on race, which is not the Bible
It's not biblical it has no basis in reality and the same people that will tell you that it's wrong to be
Racist or the same people that say oh, we're all evolved from a rock
If we're all evolved from a rock why is racism even wrong
They're inconsistent with their own ideology
Why cuz they're hypocrites, that's why you know God's not a racist go if you go to 2nd Peter chapter number 3
Go to 2nd Peter chapter number 3
The same people that want to scream racism are the same people
Everything that they see are the same people that will reject everything
I just taught you they'll reject that there's different kinds of animals and that we're all the same kind you know
Why is it that there's something wrong with discriminating against another person?
If they're truly an inferior species
That's what they're teaching. That's what they taught. That's what Charles Darwin taught
You know why it's because they have the law of God written in their heart
And we all know it's wicked to discriminate against another person just based on their skin color or just based on who they are
You know I thought that their great hero of the faith Martin Luther King
He wanted people to be judged on the content of their character
Not on the color of their skin yet in our world today if you're a white person you're automatically a racist
bigoted hateful person and
If you're of color you can't even be racist apparently you know you can't even you know
It's impossible for them to hate other races or anything like that
Which is just stupid because race doesn't exist we should stop looking at people at race
You know the classification in the Bible is saved and unsaved
Hey, you know when it came to the ark it wasn't like a certain race got saved
It was the saved and the unsaved the saved got saved and the unsaved died
They were eliminated
And you know what is the same things gonna happen in the future look at second Peter chapter number three
You want to know why Bill Nye's arguments suck?
Because he's willingly stupid
Look at verse number three knowing this verse that this would come the last day's
Scoppers walking up to their own lust and saying where's the promise of his coming since the fathers fell asleep all things continue as they
Were from the beginning of the creation for this they willingly are ignorant of that by the word of God the heavens were of old
And the earth standing out of the water and in the water whereby the world that then was being overflowed with water perished
But the Evans and the earth which are now by the same word are kept in store
reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and
Perdition of ungodly men you want to know why they want to forget the flood
because the floods a picture of something is a picture of judgment and
To acknowledge the flood is to acknowledge. They're gonna be judged by God
So they use anything in every kind of excuse to try to attack Noah's ark to attack the Bible
Yet, they're hypocrites about it because they love to embrace the fact that we're all one kind don't they I mean being a racist is
Like the worst thing imaginable today, I mean you'll get your job canceled everybody will hate on you
I mean the worst thing imaginable is being a racist yet. They don't want to believe in kinds anymore
Well, you know what kinds are real
Racism is wrong
But why don't you then embrace the flood? Why don't you embrace Noah's ark?
Oh, yeah, because it reminds them the fact they're gonna be judged by God
That's why and so they have to come up with new lies and new slogans
And we don't need to go to the world and ask them if it's okay to believe the Bible today because they're not gonna
believe it
Well, but what if we prove it to them with science they already rejected science
They already rejected knowledge, you know, even if I showed
Bill Nye these numbers which are all provable. He's not gonna believe in it
He's not gonna accept it even though I could disprove every single argument. He gave he's never gonna believe it
And you know what faith doesn't come by science, you know falsely so-called
Faith doesn't come by me. Just giving you hot air from my own personal opinion
You know faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God
We need to go out and preach the Word of God and to preach the Bible and I'm not gonna fall all over myself
To try and convince an atheist why Noah's ark exists. I'm sorry. They're never gonna accept it
They're never going to believe in it. They already rejected it
How many times I have to show you that they're hypocrites before you believe me you need to do preach the gospel
And Noah's ark it was about the gospel of Jesus Christ
And when we think about the judgment that's coming we need to realize the only people are gonna get saved are the ones that go
through the door
We want to convince them to come through the door. Not how many animals are on the other side of it. All right
Let's close in prayer. Thank you father so much for your word. Thank you for this great story of Noah and the salvation that you give us
I
Pray that we'd be reminded of the judgment that's coming for the wicked and
That they're not gonna get away with anything that they've done anything
they've said any persecution or harm that they've done it to God's people will be recompensed in some day and
That understanding your judgment. I pray that we would be
Motivated that we realize the importance was going out and preaching the gospel to save as many people's that we possibly can and the importance
Of being righteous like Noah so that we can be reserved through your judgment in Jesus name we pray. Amen
All right for our last song we'll go to song
314 more love to thee song 314 more love to thee
That's song three one four more love to thee
More love to thee. Oh Christ more love to thee
Here thou the prayer I make on bended knee
This is my earnest plea more
love Oh Christ to thee more love to thee
More love to thee
What's earthly joy I crave sawed peace and rest
Now the
Alone I seek give what is best
This all my prayer shall be more love Oh Christ
to thee more
love to thee
More love to thee
Let sorrow do its work send grief and pain
Sweet are thy messengers sweet their refrain
When
They can sing with me more
Love Oh Christ to thee more love to thee
More love to thee on the last then shall my
latest breath
whisper thy praise
This be the parting cry my
heart shall raise
This still its prayer shall be more
Love Oh Christ to thee more love to thee
More love to thee good singing you are dismissed god bless
