Was God in Africa before Islam and Christianity?

so there was no literal global flood where only 8 humans (noah+his family) survived?



how do the chinese have continued history from way back before the time of the flood? did they all forget that they were all wiped out by the biblical god?

Idk don’t ask me, you could just google it. I’m actually researching that stuff myself, that’s a whole era of human history that sort of renders anything before it with a shroud of darkness. Since I believe in God and Heaven, I’m hoping he shows me the truth when I die, but that’s me, you believe your own destiny

I think a dude in this thread just posted a wiki leak to a Chinese emperor who had so much trouble controlling a flood he basically gave up his seat, idk if the time line matches up

im going to go off into a place that may not make sense to you but may make sense to @Koichos

now remember your post again specifically genesis 6:18

man invented god, so arguing about the version of the story isn't relevant

No, God invented man.

youre very welcome

even if you arent a believer in that God you can still learn

but to me belief is win/win, whatever fear you have of that God its probably coming from the person who told you about him.

Genesis isn't a history book.

It's a book of theological messaging and a critique of surrounding civilizations.

Noah and his sons are legendary/mythological characters, not actual people. The flood was localized but because most civilizations were built near water, flooding was a universally understood concept anyone hearing the story would comprehend.​
