In Week 6 of Explore God, Pastor Steve Pridemore addresses the question, How Can I Know The Bible is Reliable? The Bible tells one unified story of God's redemptive purposes over His creation, and it can be understood as historically as well as geographically accurate. It is the authoritative, trustworthy and the living word of God still speaking to our lives today.

This weekend Craig wrapped up our current message series. So far, we've covered the Trinity, the separation of sin, and the gift of Jesus as a way back to relationship with God, and how the gospel is personal. This weekend, we learned how we can trust that the Bible is reliable.

2 Peter 1:16, Luke 1:1-4, 1 Corinthians 15:3-6 It's easy to MISUNDERSTAND the BIBLE if you don't understand The STORY in the Bible. It's the story of REDEMPTION and you are the REDEEMED. It's also easy to misunderstand the Bible, if you don't understand the HISTORY of the Bible After Jesus rose from the dead, […]

Having looked at the basics of earth science last time, we are now ready to consider Noah's Flood. As always you'll learn the major options for interpreting this biblical event. Some Christians understand the flood to have been a local event, largely limited to the region of Mesopotamia. Others hold to the notion that this flood covered the entire planet, rising above even the highest mountains. No matter which position you take, you'll have to answer key biblical and scientific questions.  Listen to this episode on Spotify or Apple Podcasts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0xPsa6WrPE&list=PLN9jFDsS3QV1Etu1jXO3jbUQ6CFI-2k6W&index=13&t=4s See below for notes. —— Links —— We are doing follow-up discussions to these episodes on YouTube.

Who is Sean Finnegan?  Read his bio here —— Notes —— Noah's Flood • Considerations• Global or local?• Evidence for Noah's Flood• Implications of Noah's Flood Considerations • Rain before the flood?• Plate tectonics and evolution• Scope and evolution• How big was the ark? Rain before Noah's flood? Many have taught that, before Noah's flood, there was no rain: Genesis 2:5-6   When no bush of the field was yet in the land and no small plant of the field had yet sprung up--for the LORD God had not caused it to rain on the land, and there was no man to work the ground, and a mist was going up from the land and was watering the whole face of the ground-- Scholar Mark Futato suggests that “mist” should be translated as “rain.” • In the context, there are two “problems” • No rain• No man to till the ground • Thus, “mist” could equal “rain” Reasons why “mist” could be better: • If you hold late tectonic shift, mist would be required (“land” singular in Genesis 1:10)• The sign of the rainbow — the rainbow is only physically possible with rain• Possibly rain kicked off the modern water cycle - this answers the objection “where did the water go?” Plate Tectonics and evolution What we believe about plate tectonics impacts our view on evolution and the extent of Noah's flood • A small minority has proposed a more recent tectonic shift, which could account for mountain building after Noah's flood• The flip side is that there would likely be a need for fast evolution in this view Scope and evolution What we believe about the scope of Noah's flood also impacts our view on evolution • Localized flood proponents can handle the scientific side with much more ease• Global flood proponents have some difficulties, including a potential need for fast evolution How big was the ark? Genesis 6:15-16   This is how you are to make it: the length of the ark 300 cubits, its breadth 50 cubits, and its height 30 cubits. Make a roof for the ark, and finish it to a cubit above, and set the door of the ark in its side. Make it with lower, second, and third decks. Depending on how you reckon a cubit, that translates to 450 - 510 feet long.John Whitcomb and Henry Morris estimate that the ark would have held the equivalent of 522 railcars. They then go on to estimate that 1 such railcar could hold 240 sheep. Global or local? This is perhaps the most important question we can ask about Noah's flood. Global — impacted life around the world Local — impacted all human life (all dwelling in Mesopotamia) but not all life Arguments for a local flood: Psalms 104:9   You set a boundary that they may not pass, so that they might not again cover the earth. If God set a boundary to the waters in Genesis 1, then how could Noah's flood have been global? “Land” in Genesis 6-7 refers to the land of Mesopotamia, and even more specifically, to the inhabitants of the land. Genesis 7:20 (KJV)   Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains [hills] were covered. Genesis 7:20   The waters prevailed above the mountains, covering them fifteen cubits deep. To get around the language in the Bible that seems to state that all humans died in Noah's flood (other than Noah and his family), some local flood proponents say that all humans lived in Mesopotamia when this flood took place. There is evidence of a Mesopotamian flood around 5,000 years ago. Arguments for a global flood: Genesis 6:17   For behold, I will bring a flood of waters upon the earth to destroy all flesh in which is the breath of life under heaven. Everything that is on the earth shall die. Genesis 7:19, 21   And the waters prevailed so mightily on the earth that all the high mountains under the whole heaven were covered. And all flesh died that moved on the earth, birds, livestock, beasts, all swarming creatures that swarm on the earth, and all mankind. • Has anyone heard of a localized flood that lasted 40 days and 40 nights that kept a boat floating for around a year?• Why wouldn't the people of Mesopotamia just flee the area when the rain started? Genesis 9:11   I establish my covenant with you, that never again shall all flesh be cut off by the waters of the flood, and never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth." Luke 17:27   They were eating and drinking and marrying and being given in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. Evidence for Noah's Flood One of the strongest pieces of evidence for Noah's flood is found in the historical record — basically every ancient civilization has a flood story. “Scores and even hundreds of such traditions have been found in every part of the world, in both the Eastern and Western hemispheres; and common to most of them is the recollection of a great flood which once covered the earth and destroyed all but a tiny remnant of the human race.” “Many of them, even those who have been found among the American Indians, tell of the building of a great ark which saved human and animal seed from total destruction by the Flood and which finally landed on a mountain.”— John C. Whitcomb and Henry M. Morris, The Genesis Flood, page 48. Geological evidence for Noah's Flood: • Seamounts - old islands that have now been submerged by water• Submarine canyons Implications of Noah's Flood How could Noah's Flood impact life on the planet? • Increase amount of water vapor in the atmosphere and decrease oxygen - this could explain the change in the length of life of people from before Noah's Flood to after • Change in atmospheric pressure could impact longevity as well How did the humans, animals, and plants travel to their current locations? • Land bridges• Floating on air• Recent tectonic separation “In the year 1883, the island of Krakatoa in the Sunda Strait, between Java and Sumatra, was almost destroyed by a volcanic explosion that shook that entire part of the world. For twenty-five years practically nothing lived in the remnant of that volcanic island.” “But ‘then then colonists began to arrive—a few mammals in 1908; a number of birds, lizards, and snakes; various mollusks, insects, and earthworms. Ninety percent of Krakatoa's new inhabitants… were forms that could have arrived by air.'”— John C. Whitcomb and Henry M. Morris, The Genesis Flood, pages 84-85. Conclusion There are a lot of things to consider in dealing with Noah's Flood.Take time to read the account and the references later in Scripture. Determine your perspective on global vs. local.There are many ways to interpret the scientific evidence. However, the historical evidence is clear: there was an ancient, massive flood.

Isaiah 40:8

Have you ever wondered if you can trust the reliability of the Bible? How do we really know who wrote it and has it been changed or corrupted? In this episode I'm going to give you one way to know the Bible is reliable. We are going to take a look at how investigating language, grammar, and styles of writing can give us confidence that the Law of Moses was actually written by Moses. Further, we will take a look at the style of language used in the Law of Moses as it describes the "Making of a Covenant" to show why we should expect different styles of language to be used by one author.  Full Playlist https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9ck3iE_hIE_8tvnCjFs4u_t-Owh7Cf78 Connect with Me Instagram Twitter   Umberto Cassuto, The Documentary Hypothesis, 42.    Special Thanks to Melissa Baines at MBainesGDP.com for the Logo DesignBackground picture of thumbnail obtained from the following source:https://www.freepik.com/photos/church​ Church photo created by wirestock - www.freepik.com

“Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in His name” (John 20:30-31).

Last week, we looked at the reliability and authority of scripture. So, if the Bible is reliable and has authority, then what does that mean? Recognizing that the Bible is valuable, that it is profitable and that it has been given to us by God for our benefit, each Christian person must bring themselves under the authority of the Bible and align their lives with its words. When we commit to do that, we receive the blessings of God, and the rest that is provided by the peace that comes with knowing we are in submission to God’s authority.
