Why did Noah do both "all God commanded" and "all the LORD commanded"? Where did it get him in Hebrews 11?

Hebrews 11:7 By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.\n\nNoah listened to God, Noah did God's will, Noah's faithfulness saved him & his family from the Flood, and Noah was deemed Righteous by by Grace of God for being a faithful believer - so Noah's soul was saved for eternity. That's were it got him.\n\nTrue Faith + God's Grace = His Salvation.\n\nThis same formula which worked for Noah, worked for Abraham, Isaac & Jacob... as well as for the original disciples & apostles... and it still works the same way for you & me. God & His Salvation are perfect & unchanging.

Thank you for the article- it had some interesting insights!\n\nI have long thought that there was something odd in the part of Genesis 2:1 and the phrasing Genesis 1 used. I've been looking for things that explained it and your article did just that.\n\nIt simply makes no sense that the God who sent His people to the wilderness for 40 years would have (or needed to) rush the planet in 6 days, then fake various items to make it seem much older. He does not work that way at any other time, so why then?\n\nI have said for years that when the Bible and science or reality conflict, our understanding of one or the other is flawed- and I think we've really messed up our understanding of the Bible!

enoch walked with God.  the only other human the Bible mentions doing so was adam; pre-fall.  adam was still alive when enoch was around, and as they were family i'm sure they talked.  enoch's desire was to be as close to God as possible; which made it so that God could take him home early.  \nelijah was different, in that he was such a dedicated servant of God that He got to skip death.

He didn't make it Holy for one group of people. Read Genesis chapter 1. He created the universe in six days (well, we don't know what a "day" was back then, so it might have been much longer...who knows?), and on the seventh, he rested and made it Holy--for everyone! Not just the Jewish people--also for the Gentiles. Now, the Jewish population are God's chosen people, but that does not mean that the Sabbath was created ONLY for them to recognize.

Technically, God didn't write the Bible. The Bible was divinely inspired, so I believe your question is why would man choose that wording over another.\n\nSecondly, the word "subdue" in this contex is meaning for Adam to keep Earth at peace when need be. It's just another way of saying take care of what God has given you.\n\nThirdly, take into concideration the fact that the Bible is a translation. Sometimes finding the word to mean another word in a different language is harder than it seems. So, some words in the Bible need extra care in translation.

It's about as true as you too can have partiality from an impartial God, which is a lie since "there is no respect of persons with God", also an oxyMORON with a BAD ending, kinda like Gen 2: 16 -vs- 17 is an oxyMORON with a BAD ending.\n\nTry re-reading the biblical story of Noah, and notice clever Noah did both: "all God commanded" and "all the LORD commanded", and that God and LORD are as "contrary" as 2 and 7; Not to mention "God" never saw both clean and unclean (good and evil), only good. Not to mention "God" is "merciful", not destructive; And merciful to all, not to some only.\n\nTry and get your head around the biblically stated fact such law/grace "things" are an "allegory" in both "covenants": Gal 4, and also a "mystery" to solve in time; so not to be taken literal. \n\nScriptures were written aforetime for our learning: Romans 15:4. But it's NOT plural & contrary "scriptures" that are "inspiried of God"; rather only the singular "script-u-are" of such plural and contrary scriptures that's God inspired: 1Tim 3:16.\n\nAnd consider where doing both all grace and all law got Noah, it got him inducted into the hall of shame of Heb 11, where it flat out notes "these all died" and "received not the promise". For receiving the promise notably comes "after" doing the will of God, which is "I will have mercy, and not sacrifice(slaughter)"; which is given as a go figure (go and learn what it allegorically meaneth) in Mt 9:13; which is to allegory say grace and not law, which is to say truth and not lie.  And the "not" part of what God will and will not have, is notably not then, not now, not ever. For the will of God is the same in both OT & NT: Ps 40:6; Ps 51:16; Hos 6:6; Mt 9:13; Mt 12:7; Heb 10:all. And the end that God declared from the beginning is already written as the end we're to endure unto to be saved(only) by grace(only); since those who mixed rather than comparing spiritual things (law/grace), notably got both saved and destroyed after by their grace and law: Jude 5.\n\nThe "grace" of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.

Sura - 71 Noah\nOrder Of Revelation 71, Verses: 28\n \n\n[71:0] In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful \n\n[71:1] We sent Noah to his people: "You shall warn your people before a painful retribution afflicts them." \n\n[71:2] He said, "O my people, I am a manifest warner to you. \n\n[71:3] "To alert you that you shall worship GOD, reverence Him, and obey me. \n\n[71:4] "He will then forgive you your sins and respite you for a predetermined period. Most assuredly, GOD's appointment can never be delayed, once it is due, if you only knew." \n\n[71:5] He said, "My Lord, I have invited my people night and day. \n\n[71:6] "But my invitation only increased their aversion. \n\n[71:7] "Whenever I invited them to be forgiven by You, they placed their fingers in their ears, covered themselves with their clothes, insisted, and turned arrogant. \n\n[71:8] "Then I invited them publicly. \n\n[71:9] "Then I proclaimed to them loudly, and I spoke to them privately. \n\n[71:10] "I said, `Implore your Lord for forgiveness; He is Forgiving. \n\n[71:11] " `He will then shower you generously with rain. \n\n[71:12] " `And provide you with money and children, and orchards, and streams.' " \n\n[71:13] Why should you not strive to reverence GOD? \n\n[71:14] He is the One who created you in stages. \n\n[71:15] Do you not realize that GOD created seven universes in layers? \n\n[71:16] He designed the moon therein to be a light, and placed the sun to be a lamp. \n\n[71:17] And GOD germinated you from the earth like plants. \n\n[71:18] Then He returns you into it, and He will surely bring you out. \n\n[71:19] GOD made the earth habitable for you. \n\n[71:20] That you may build roads therein. \n\n[71:21] Noah said, "My Lord, they disobeyed me, and followed those who were even more corrupted when blessed with money and children. \n\n[71:22] "They schemed terrible schemes. \n\n[71:23] "They said, `Do not abandon your gods. Do not abandon Wadd, Suwaa`, Yaghouth, Ya`ooq, and Nasr.' \n\n[71:24] "They misled many. Therefore, let the wicked plunge deeper into loss." \n\n[71:25] Because of their sins they were drowned and assigned to the hellfire. They found no helpers to protect them from GOD. \n\n[71:26] Noah also said, "My Lord, do not leave a single disbeliever on earth. \n\n[71:27] "For if you let them, they will only mislead your servants and give birth to nothing but wicked disbelievers. \n\n[71:28] "My Lord, forgive me and my parents, and anyone who enters my home as a believer, and all the believing men and women. But do not give the disbelievers anything but annihilation." \n\nhttp://www.submission.org/suras/sura71.html

Hey Seven:  toshke in spain  gave you quite a listing; it pretty much disallowed any ability to respond in this forum, just as you said. \n\nAnother example was proffered by dog, this one having to do with the creation account.  This is a familiar one (as are many from toshke's exhaustive list) and the explanation is quite simple.  Sometimes unfamiliarity with Hebrew terms and their meanings causes not a little confusion.  For instance, at Genesis 1:1, the account states simply:  In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.  The verb here rendered "create" is bara, meaning:  to create (surprise), to bring in something new. The heavens include all celestial bodies, and that includes the sun and moon.  From here on out, however, the Genesis account describes the preparation of earth for habitation.\n\nIn Genesis 1:16, however, when speaking of  the sun, the Hebrew word is  not bara, but rather asah which means, to ordain, prepare, thus at this juncture, God is not creating luminaries but rather is preparing them for their purpose in relation to the earth.  It should also be noted that the first mention of light uses the Hebrew word ohr meaning light in a general sense.  In the second instance, the Hebrew word is maohr, referring to a source of light.  \n\nOftentimes what appear to be contradictions or error on the surface can readily be understood if given more than a cursory reading.  Sometimes a little research and investigation penetrates the swaddling bands of confusion, just like on the first day when God caused diffused light to penetrate the swaddling bands around earth.

God can't just interfere like that, humans do this to themselves, understood???\n\nStory of Creation\n"When the earth was shapeless and empty"\n\ntranslated in hebrew more accurately, then english=\n"When the earth BECAME destructive and chaotic"\n\nThis was when Lucifer fell, and he interfered because He was the One who trusted Lucifer to be perfect. \n\nGod recreated the world in 7 days. This means he made the earth twice by flood. \n\nChrist's salvation mission was like the third flood that salvation last forever, the second was the noah's ark story.\nWe kill, its ok. BUt when we die, we get punishment. Hell.\n:)

This is what Moses wrote after hearing God. God wrote this for the Jews, who were the chosen people. (Later a Jew, Jesus, saved the world) The Jews were chosen to carry on in order to foster the Messiah (Jesus). The Jews had been slaves, and had many enimies. This is His instructions for the Jews, to ensure their survival, while giving them law and order. The Jews must survive, in order to bring about the messiah, and complete the story of man, with a happy ending, after Adams disobedience in the Garden of Eden (heaven). But I am not God, and do not know His reasons, so you must pray and ask Him yourself.

Moses did the 10 commandments and Noah had the Ark. So I would have to say none, because he didn't build the Ark, Noah did.

Christ speaks about being the Head of the Church. Notice that He says in Matthew 16:18 ...I will build "MY" church. In several other verses (to find them just look in the concordance of your Bible), He refers to "a" church or "the" church. These words are singular. He never says anywhere "all the churches" or "all the different congregations". I think God only intended for there to be one church. Man has created his own church to suit his own needs. I think it is important to find a church that preaches what the Bible says. ONLY what the Bible says. So many today add to the words of God and take from them as well.

You will find the answer to your question in the Bible book of Genesis, chapter 1.  Read verses 9-28.  But for the sake of others here who may not have a Bible, or don't wish to look these up, I will partially quote them here:\n\n11)  And God went on to say: “Let the earth cause grass to shoot forth, bearing seed, fruit trees yielding fruit according to their kinds...a third day.\n\n21) And God proceeded to CREATE the great sea monsters and EVERY LIVING SOUL THAT MOVES ABOUT, which the waters swarmed forth according to their kinds, and every winged flying creature according to its kind...a FIFTH day.\n\n26) And God went on to say: “Let us make MAN in our image...” 27) And God proceeded to create the man in his image,...MALE AND FEMALE, HE CREATED THEM...a SIXTH day. \n\n28)  Further, God blessed them and said to them: “Be fruitful and become many and fill the earth and subdue it...”\n\nSo, you see, every animal was created during the 5th symbolic day, including the dinosaurs, and Adam and Eve were created during the 6th. - - - But do read the whole passage from your own Bible, please.

look at the story. Jebhthah never ask God what to do so in a macho way he delivers up this prayer. since you do not seem to mind reading the old testament how many leaders ask God how to overcome their enemies?but Jebhthah never takes the time to find out what God wants to do and does it his own why. is that what God wanted (His Will) very much doubt it since He destroys nations for sacrificing their children. but Jephthah never took time to find out Gods will.if you do not seek Gods will in your life you can justified every sin, such as this one.

Noah’s deluge. To understand you have to start with Gen.6:1.\nGen.6:1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, \nThe word “men” is Heb. (ha-adham) means “the man Adam” or his progeny. The word “them” is referring to Adam and Eve. The scripture is talking about Adam and Eve’s clan and not mankind. Mankind a subject for another time. \nGen.6:2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. \nThe term “sons of God” means angels or fallen angels. The word “men” again means Adam and Eve’s progeny or clan. Satan was trying to corrupt God’s plan. That is, from umbilical cord to umbilical cord would come Christ. This is why Eve is called “the mother of all living”.\nGen.6:9 These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God. \nThe word “perfect” Heb. (tamin) means “without blemish as to breed or pedigree”.\nGen.6:17 And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die. \nThe word “earth” Heb. (erets) means “land”, not the whole earth. Besides God says, “to destroy all flesh” in Adam’s clan.\nGen.7:24 And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days. \nGen.8:11 And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf pluckt off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth. \nIf the entire globe had been under water 150 days, where did this olive leaf (pluckt off) come from.\nGen 9:11  And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth. \nRemember what God said in Gen.6:17, “to destroy all flesh”. Here God makes a covenant with Noah and his sons. Neither shall all flesh be cut off any more. Neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth. Two floods. One for flesh, Noah’s deluge. One to destroy the earth back in Gen.1:2. The global flood is a subject for another time.\nSome consider the plateau of Pamir to be the original Eden. This probably was the homeland of Adam's descendants up until the time of the Flood. Today it’s known as the Tarim Basin or Eastern Turkestan. This region is surrounded by a ridge of very high mountains forming a gigantic basin in the midst of them. It measures 1,000 miles long and is about 350 miles wide.  \nUssher’s Chronology says 2348 B.C., Davidson says November 2345 B.C. to November 2344 B.C. for Noah’s deluge.\nRecords of the Sumerians in Mesopotamia., their King Lists date to about 3350 B.C., and show an ongoing civilization well through the period of the flood. Egypt felt nothing of the deluge, they had an uninterrupted succession of Dynasties. China's civilization during the Yao Dynasty (between 2400 B.C. – 2200 B.C.) with no record of a cataclysmic interruption. \nSo Noah’s deluge was a local flood. But there was a global flood in Gen.1:2. Study II Pet.3:5-7,  Jer.4:23-27.\nPsa.104:6 Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains. Psa.104:7 At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away. \nGen 1:6  And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.

None. Moses was the custodian of another type of Ark.The Ark of God. Not the Ark which Noah Built in which he put two of every kind of animal.\n\nGood Try if that was to fool me.\nBettel Luck next time.
