Why Didn't Noah Starve to death?

LOL...Good point! Give em something to think about!\n\n********\n\nNoah and his ark was actually a true story.....notice, I said STORY....not EVENT.\n\nThe Fertile Crescent had spring floods every year, due to the snows melting from the Ural mountains to the north. The story was a tale told at the time to get locals to prepare for the spring floods by moving to higher grounds or to build barges/floats, to keep above the flood waters.\n\nThe "story" says it was the "whole world" that flooded.....actually it was THEIR whole world.....people didn't use to travel a lot, ya know. the whole bible is a compiled group of stories just like this one.

After much thought and research, I have come to realize that the God of the OT was/is the same as the God of the new.  And He is love.  He showed great love before the flood, when the earth proved bad and He was heartbroken (Biblically, He was hurt in His heart.)  Although He had regrets that He had created mankind because of the evil disposition of man, He sent Noah to warn everyone that all they had to do was enter the Ark to be saved.  That's it.  No blood atonement, nothing.  Just get on the boat.  Of course, we know the end of the story.  And He showed great love to Abraham, who beseeched God to turn His great wrath aside from Sodom and Gomorrah if he, Abraham, could find 50 righteous amongst them.  God obliged Abraham, even down to 10.  There were none found, and God destroyed them all.  But, He always, ALWAYS gives us a way out.  It's just that we are either too wicked, selfish, stupid, stubborn or blind to take it.

because there was a vapor canopy covering the earth, therefore making it possible for people to live longer because they had not as much radiation from the sun... (it was blocked by the vapor canopy). during the flood, the vapor canopy rained down on the earth, and the water cycle was started. therefore, there was no mention of stars until after the flood (first mention during Abraham's time), and humans now live shorter lives because of radiation destroying their bodies. make any sense?

I believe that, no, God did not "plan" it this way.  But, I think that God knew that humans were going to be weak.  Yes, I know that that sounds like a contradiction, but, honestly that is the best that I could come up with.  I cannot speak for God, but I know that He knows best.

Noah getting caught 'drunk and naked', does not seem to be the problem; what happened (whatever it was; the Bible does not explicitly say what Ham did was) afterwords was the problem.

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.

He laid down his life AND he was killed.  It would not have been right for him to commit suicide in order to save us.  Because that would have been committing a murder.\n\nWhen voluntarily laid down his life, he was allowing the Jews, through the Romans (yes, I know there's controversy on this...no hate mail please) to take his life or to kill him.  He was not forced to die.

Daniel Boone.  To find out how he died.  My husband says he choked to death while eating mustard greens and I find that hard to believe.  I have researched this and can find no answers.

Well, to restate it slightly for purposes of clarification, in the Hebrew Scriptures, an unblemished lamb was sacrificed in accord with what God says at Leviticus 17:11:  it is the blood that makes atonement (not God's wrath – but atonement).  That is why Paul said what he did as you quoted.  So all those animal sacrifices - which were not sufficient to bring lasting atonement (inasmuch as animals are inferior to man) – pointed to the one sacrifice that would balance the scales of justice.  Yes he rose again from the dead but this does not mean he was not sacrificed.  In order to understand the ransom, you must understand what was owed.  Adam was a perfect human person – no more and no less. Adam was not an animal, Adam was not half God and half man, Adam was not half angel and half man.  To understand the payment, one must understand the debt. To balance the scales, a perfect human person had to be sacrificed.  That is what Jesus was on earth:  a perfect human person.  That is why the scriptures call him the last Adam.  He existed in the heavens as a spirit creature before being born as a human.  He sacrificed his perfect human life.  This is the key:  he did not sacrifice his right to ever live again.  He sacrificed his perfect human life.  Therefore, he was resurrected as a spirit creature and returned to heavenly life.  Now, IF he returned as a human again, THAT would invalidate his sacrifice.  But as it is, he did not sacrifice his right to live – he sacrificed his life as a perfect human man.

Old, old, OLD! Moses didn't take any animals with him, it was Noah.

Daniel and his young hebrew friends chose not to defile themselves with the king's meat and fermented wine; things that God had instructed his people not to eat.\n\nThey asked the chief servant to let them be tested in their diet by eating only pulse(simple bean soup) and water.\n\nAfter ten days, Daniel and his friends appeared healthier than all the others in their presence.\n\nThat's about as close as I can get to a king that ate puss.\nHope that helps.

well, maybe one could say that without thought...but prehaps a better view is not that HE killed them but rather didn't save them. I't may sound like the same thing but try it this way.  If I told you to get out of the road, and you chose not to...when the car hits you, does that mean I killed you? Or perhaps its the cars fault? Or just maybe its your own fault?  \n\nNow I do seem to remember that there was this lifeboat...and all we've really been told is that Noah's family got on it with a bunch of animals. \n\nI've never seen anywhere that it tells us whether or not he offered anyone a ride, or chased anyone away either...But from what i can tell it was a big boat.  So he probably wasn't hiding out secretly building it in his garage. Just maybe people could have actually seen him building it for the last 100+ years or so...Add my guess is that his lifesyle was probably a good example that he just might have know what he was up to...just maybe...so just maybe people were to busy to care.  \n\nSo Just maybe when God decided to take a break from holding weather paterns in check...maybe a lot of people decided not to get out of the way, until it was a little too late.

It's not like those people are walking there between us... here's the answer:\n\nThey didn't die, they were taken by God, just like Enoch. Have you heard about this guy?  Here are 2 verses (in God's Word translation of the Bible)\n\n"Enoch walked with God; then he was gone because God took him." Genesis 5:24\n\n"Faith enabled Enoch to be taken instead of dying. No one could find him, because God had taken him. Scripture states that before Enoch was taken, God was pleased with him." Hebrew 11:5\n\nNow, Enoch wasn't the only one... there was also Elijah. \n\n"As they continued walking and talking, a fiery chariot with fiery horses separated the two of them, and Elijah went to heaven in a windstorm."  2 Kings 2:13\n\nI hope I can be like those guys... but if I'm not... I'm sure I'll go to heaven for I have believed in God! (John 3:16)\n\nI hope you this answer will help!

Did he die? God didn't say when he would die, just that he would,, which, in fact happened, 930 years later. The Serpent told him he wouldn't die, which, as it turned out, was a lie.
