Seeing Baili Lianglu catching blind, Mai Ke was quite gloating.

However, in order to make Baili Liangliu better observe more real situations at the scene of the flood, Mai Ke was still not afraid of trouble, not too nagging, and used his professional knowledge as a certified pastor to teach Baili Lianglu a lesson.

"Boss, I have to say, your vision is still quite poisonous! Whether you choose this entry point intentionally or unintentionally, the Great Flood is a very critical turning point in human history! The significance of this turning point lies in the fact that the Creator gave a general judgment to the human beings before the Great Flood, and the verdict of that judgment is that they have all done all the evil things and can no longer survive in this world that He created! The Creator, in his great rage, wants to destroy them all! The way to destroy them is to wash them away with a great flood, and they may be fish and turtles! Note that the flood is just a translation of Chinese, the direct original meaning is water; the flood can be the meaning of the great water, that is, the flood of water, but the flood is not necessarily the flood, this is to be slightly distinguished: the flood is generally the water that flows together from everywhere, they change from a small stream to a torrent, it becomes a flood, and the original text of this classic record is the flood of the great flood, the rain poured directly from the sky, that is, the flood poured directly from the sky, not from elsewhere, they just fell from the sky, and then accumulated there in place, until it was 15 cubits above the top of the mountainIt emphasizes that it does not flow from elsewhere, nor does it flow out of the place, so it is an abyss generated in situ, just like a container, pouring water from the sky into it until it is full; ”

Mai Ke's words came out, and Baili Lianglu had to say a word in his heart.

If he investigates the ins and outs of the upstream and downstream floods, he may really delay his efforts.

Even if he did it all over again, how could the Creator who had time control allow him to do as he pleased?

Also, although the flood lasted for a long time, he didn't have only one problem!

Therefore, he is destined to have a very limited amount of time on a specific issue, which forces him to be careful about his calculations.

Baili Liangliu's head was bigger again, and he couldn't care about pretending to be relaxed: "Okay! I must pay attention to this! No?"

McKe laughed: "No, where is that kind of good thing? There are a lot of them! However, I will also give you some chances, if you have any problems, also tell them, and I will also give you a consultation." ”

Baili Liangliu laughed: "Yes, you are a professional pastor with a very high level, and you know how to take care of me, a layman, well, I will also ask a question, if you see if it is more important, if it is not worth the effort, you should politely bring it up, otherwise I will spend a lot of time, but make a joke! More importantly, I will delay the time to investigate major events." ”

McKe said, "No problem! I'll be blunt, don't be unbearable when the time comes! You say, it seems that you have a lot of problems?"

Baili Liangliu said: "Of course, I have also read the records of the Great Flood many times, and there are a lot of in-depth thoughts, and the questions have accumulated a basket, but I have not asked questions, of course, I also know that some questions can not be found from books, but if I have such an opportunity to see the scene, I can naturally figure it out! My first question, were the aquatic animals at that time moved to the boat by Noah one-on-one? Am I correct that the book of Genesis clearly records that all the animals on the land were on the ship, and the birds of the sky, and that the types of animals that were on the ship in the scriptures do not seem to include aquatic animals?"

For the classic record, Baili Liangliu does not dare to make any arbitrary interpretation.

This kind of question, Mai Ke can't give a conclusion out of thin air, he said: "I have to check it, I'm old, my memory is not good, you wait ......"

Baili Liangliu scolded with a smile: "you! Dare to rely on the old and sell the old in front of me? I can't remember, it's not that your memory is not good, it's that you don't memorize it with your heart, you can't fool me." ”

McKe wondered, "You know all this, so what other secrets do I have?"

Bai Li Lianglu said: "Because I am the same! I don't spend enough time reciting, so I blame my poor memory." ”

McCor said, "I'm not like you!" I memorized it, but after a long time, I forgot it! Well, let's not mention it, I found it! According to Genesis 7, the Creator commanded Noah, 'All flesh and blood, two of each, are to be brought into the ship, that they may be with you to save their lives, male and female, and every bird of their kind, every animal of their kind, and all reptiles of the earth, every kind, two of each, will come to you to save their lives.' So did Noah, and so did all that the Creator commanded him, and the birds of the air shall take with them seven males and seven females, so that they may keep their seed and live on all the earth." ”

Baili Liangliu said: "Okay, to summarize, your understanding?"

McCor said, "From this, we can see that the Creator commanded Noah to take the boat with him, and Noah did what he actually brought on the boat, that is, two kinds of animals, one is a bird flying in the sky, and the other is a beast that moves on the earth, and there are no fish swimming in the water! In other words, in the Great Flood, the animals in the water can survive without going on the boat; what do you think of my explanation?"

Baili Liangliu thought for a moment and said, "I agree with your explanation! Although according to the scriptures, the Creator mentions that 'all living beings with flesh and blood' should be brought into the ship, and this seems to include the fish in the water, because they are also flesh and blood life, but according to the context, especially the birds and beasts in the heavens and the beasts on the earth are specifically mentioned later, it can be seen that the aquatic animals are not on the boat!" However, this is the understanding of the classic text, and we have a consensus on what the reality is, I still have to verify it, that is, to go to the scene to see if Noah got the fish into the boat. ”

McKe nodded and agreed, "This can be had, but after our discussion just now, I prefer that Noah got the creatures on the ship, not including aquatic animals!" The reason is that there is no record in the scriptures of transporting those water animals from the water to the ark, because we already know that the place where Noah built the ship was not connected by the great river and the sea, and at the same time, if there were aquatic animals, there should be a special place for them to live, that is, there must be a pool or something, otherwise even if they were brought to the ship, it would be impossible for them to live, and this should be a very obvious thing. ”

Baili Liangliu agreed, and said, "Yes, yes, yes, yes, I'm almost sure there are no more fish on the ark! I just need to take a little time to check it out! However, this question leads to a larger, more complex question, I wonder if you realize it, McKe?"

McKe said, "Tell me?"

Baili Liangliu said: "If the aquatic animals did not come on the boat, the reason is that they will not be extinct because of the great water, and it is also because they are not within the scope of the ark that can include them; this involves the problem we discussed earlier, that is, the animals that the ark wants to redeem are only limited to a certain range that the great flood is destined to submerge, not all areas of the earth's surface, then the animals on the ark are only species in a certain area, not all animals on the earth's surface, can this be deduced?" ”

"This question is really complicated, and it has to do with the previous uncertainties, if the flood covers only one area, this inference is of course correct, and if the flood covers the entire surface of the earth, this inference is also not correct, so this question needs to be based on the results of your first question, so I suggest that it be put together with the flood scope problem." ”

McCor said: "That's right! It's a problem, and it's complicated, in fact, I've been aware of it for a long time, but it's useless to think about it without going on a field trip, but fortunately there is such an opportunity." ”

Baili Lianglu laughed: "In this way, will those doubts about the so-called dinosaurs, whales and other types of animals be solved?"

"What's wrong with such a large animal?"

McCor asked.

McCor himself has no problem with this, so I don't know if anyone will disagree with this.

For those who generally believe in the Genesis scriptures accept these details as a matter of course.

"They say that a small ark, although it was a behemoth at that time, but compared with the real behemoths of later generations, it is nothing; it is such an ark, a dinosaur or whale weighing hundreds of tons at every turn, it will be crushed, and at least a pair, and there are many other types, an ark, it cannot be loaded at all!"

Baili Liangliu smiled and said: "It turns out that I also have such a problem, although I haven't seen a living dinosaur, but whales have really seen it! They all have amazing weight, such as a kind of blue whale, which can weigh up to 190 tons! Even if it is one size smaller, it is only 150 tons, and the two together have 300 tons, which is still only one blue whale!" The blue whale categorically cannot give birth to beluga whales, as far as the species are concerned, there are more than 80 kinds of different species, according to the instructions of the Creator, they must each according to their own kind, so that there are only two of each, about 180 whales alone! The situation of dinosaurs is similar, four categories, dozens of varieties, the heaviest reaches 220 tons, if it is also a one-to-one pair on the ship, only dinosaurs can not fit, and dinosaurs are undoubtedly land beasts. ”

McCor chimed in, "Yes, their questions are understandable, but do you still have such problems?"

Baili Lianglu said: "No!"

McKe was surprised: "Why? I didn't have a problem, but you said that there was a problem, why did you have no problem?"

Baili Liangliu: "Haha, this is that you didn't have the intention to recite the classics, the record you found just now has actually given the answer!"

McKe said, "Then I'll go back and see!"

When he saw the words of the creator Xiao Yu Noah, "Every bird according to its kind, every animal according to its kind, and all reptiles on the earth, every kind, two of each, will come to you to save their lives", and he couldn't help but realize in his heart.

It turns out that there is a hidden mystery here!

It is clearly said here that those animals also received Xiaoyu from the Creator, and if they want to live, they must go to Noah!

Those who did not receive it from the Creator, Xiaoyu, or who received it but did not follow it and did not come to Noah, naturally deserved to be destroyed by the flood.

Others don't know about this ending, but doesn't the Creator know about it?

Since he knew, he knew how big the ark should be to load them, that is, the animals that would eventually come on board, and of course he knew how big the boat Noah built to meet the needs of these animals for carrying capacity!

With the new understanding, McKe was also excited.

"Boss! I found the relevant description in the scriptures, and not only solved the problem just now, that is, the range of animals on the ship, not those animals came as soon as they wanted, nor did Noah move them one by one, but those animals came by themselves, and the Creator gave them instructions before coming! I used to wonder, Noah's family was so busy building ships, where did they have time to find those animal passengers? Now it seems that those passengers are model passengers, and they came on time and on their own initiative! Knowing this situation, he solved another problem by the way, that is, Noah's family was too busy, it turned out that he didn't have to spend any time looking for and managing those passengers, they were the passengers who were arranged and guided by the Creator himself, and they were the best model passengers, because they were all the same as Noah, in the final analysis, obeyed the will of the Creator. ”

In this way, all the reproaches about whether the animals are complete can not be found on Noah! Noah does not have to worry about the volume of the ship, what the animals eat, whether they can live or not, he only does one thing, and he does whatever the Creator tells him to do! And according to the scriptures, he did exactly 100 percent. ”

McCor exclaimed: "Yes! The Creator said that Noah was righteous, and that is true! I think this is the deepest and most positive lesson that the Flood has taught mankind, that sinners take death, and the righteous live, and that faith is not defiled! This is what the Creator clearly declared before the Great Flood, and through the process of the Great Flood, he also perfectly fulfilled his will! I suggest you focus on this positive teaching. ”

Baili Liangliu said solemnly: "Thank you for the pastor's teaching!"

McCor was not polite, and said: "I am a pastor, as it should be, no matter when the time comes, preach! I think there are many questions that need further thought, and I can't exhaust them for a while, so why don't you rush there first, and we will keep talking to each other, and if there are any problems, you can discuss them at any time, and I can also get first-hand materials, what do you think?"

Bai Li Lianglu said: "If this can be the case, it would be great! Then our discussion will end here for the time being, goodbye!"
