Read the Bible: Genesis 6

Posted on by

I am trying to do a better job at having a professional sound but I live in the real world. I do not have a recording studio with sound proof walls, I live in a house with other people and pets. I don’t know if you can hear dogs bark outside, or the clicky clack of their feet on the floor, or cars passing or the train; but I can and it drives me nuts.

Look on the bright side; anything you do for God, anything you do that will help people find God, learn more about him or seek his will, the devil will be opposed to. So I might be talking out my head here but if the enemy is opposing me then maybe I’m doing something right. Let’s look at Genesis 6, talk about the issues, and identify what we can know for sure about Noah, his family, and what he did in response to God’s instructions.

This will be our second discussion on 2nd Peter 2. And no, I didn’t make a mistake. Noah and Lot are used to represent times that God was able to save even during a time of judgement. God knows those that are his and he is able to save the just and punish the wicked. Continue reading →

As I was making mental notes and forming an outline, I decided to check the archives to see if I had written on this topic before. Not only did I find a post I read through and realized it’s pretty good. Below is the full text of a post originally titled Did Noah Preach? posted March 30, 2014. Continue reading →

Did Noah Preach?

Posted on by

arkI was reading Jon Bloom this morning at the Desiring God blog. The title of the post is The Folly of what Noah Preached and it compares the message preached by Noah to the New Testament sermons of which Paul said “For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.” (1 Corinthians 1:18 ESV) He draws a parallel between Noah’s sermon to repent and get on the ark and our sermon to repent and believe in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. In both cases judgement was announced and a plan of salvation offered.

Desiring God is one of the few blogs I read that does not allow readers to comment. So here is my comment: I can’t find evidence that Noah preached any such sermon. It’s just not in the Bible. Bloom’s post is based on Hebrews 11:7 which reads: Continue reading →
