This is what I said. It is easier to understand God than it is man.

Did he and his sons have any work related injuries whilst building the ark. Oh...and I'd be very interested in a description of the various tools they used in its' construction.

How much you wanna bet that one of them at least got a sliver?

While he was there Epaphroditus became sick. I just think it would be cool some day to listen to Paul tell more about the details of that visit. In the book of Philippians the word "joy" or "rejoice" is mentioned some fourteen times. Paul was focused on the future and pressing on towards the goal.


Philippians 3:12-14


12 Not that I have already attained, 3or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. 13 Brethren, I do not count myself to have 4apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, 14 I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

I picture him smiling and reaping even more joy.

When a person crosses the bounds and starts talking about meeting, talking, shaking hands, and eating with Saints of old, such as Paul, Noah, Moses, and Peter; - you’ve gone TOO FAR!! – That shows just how far you are from the Truth of God!! – (( That “IS” FAR ))!!
To start with, they ALL are just Parables for the understanding of the Truth. – God “IS” not some GUY sitting on a golden chair somewhere UP THERE above the skies!! - TRUTH JUST “IS”, AND SAYS OF ITSELF, - “I AM”. – That doesn’t mean that sound or sight came from the source, but one ~can see and hear~ Truth in a very truthful / heavenly way!! – N-O-T – F-O-O-L-S, -- THEY CAN’T UNDERSTAND A THING THAT IS MORE SUPERIOR KNOWLEDGE THAN FOOLISH THINKING AND “TALK”!! – Do any of you geniuses HEAR any sound coming from TRUTH?? Do you SEE any sights coming from the TRUTH?? – NOOO! – But yet a Christian CAN ~see~ AND ~hear~ WHAT Truth is showing and saying. -- THAT’S GOD, IN PARABLE!! ---- None of you could stand to hear any more of this!! Because it’s foolishness to all of YOU!! NOW AGAIN!!! – How did the Scriptures GET / “GET” / “GET” WRITTEN??? ----- (( WE HAVE / “HAVE” “BEGOTTEN THE TRUTH ))”. - WE HAVE “GOT” THE TRUTH!!!! ---- H-O-W-?????

There is NO EVIDENCE that any of them did. - The Truth is the "evidence", and there is no Truth or evidence to that, therefore, - NO, none of them did!! -- "If it were not so, I would have told you", - Remember??

The Bible tells us all we need to know. I suspect the minor details about a sliver aren't as important as the prophecies and the fulfillment of the written Scriptures.

However, some day I fully expect to hear the minor details if they are available to me.

How much more personal can the people of the Bible be and the dialog be if we meet them in person?

You must be stuck in the here and now. I'm not saying that the Bible tells us these details. I'm saying that one day I will be able to hear and speak to the saints of old and all believers.

But that’s cool, you just threw inspiration under the bus with, “Just ask, and it shall be given you!! - Maybe God doesn’t hear people who don’t have Faith in Him after all!! --- John 9:31 KJV –

You know what inspires me beyond the Scriptures? The reality of the fulfillment of our destination. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
