There's like 4 of them on this board.

One of them believes the Earth is flat.

The others are Hebrew Israelites.

i am a flood literalist :yeshrug: but im not reading it so much as history as I am considering the allegory to procreation

the "fire" created by the tribe of Levi is not something the ordinary believer considers in full context

Knock yourself out. In certain contexts, it would make perfect sense. In others, not so much. The real question is: Does it have to be literal for it to be 'true'?​

i believe it was a dimensional flood

so to me it was true literally and figuratively

When can we expect a doctoral dissertation explaining that hypothesis?​
why would i give you a flood about a flood?

you say you believe but you want to believe selectively. I dont believe selectively rather I believe all of it, but the words are like cattle. They moo and snort but as long as they stay in their fences im at peace.

What you mean by this bro?
I dont want to disturb anyone as God promised man he would never destroy the earth with water again

but if you consider Genesis 1 in full context before "the heaven" or firmament was created/fashioned there was endless formless water whose descriptions were either light or dark

so if God allowed the water above the firmament and the water below the firmament to burst into the firmament (the inhabitable zone) then the water we'd perceive wouldnt necessarily be like our "habitable" water

IE it could be supercritical water extremely hot maybe even subliming water that high pressure and very cold....its not clear. What is clear is God deliberately separated the water out to create the reality between the two.

Thats why I say dimensionally it must have been a flood of an unusual kind. The floods described by the greeks/chinese are not quite the same but they do allude to something similar. Remember we consider reality in a linear fashion because of school but to God he made time for signs and for seasons it doesn't tangibly exist

it literally exists as a means to harvest fruit without planting seasons time as we know it would have never found a purpose to ancient man.

Nope. But you seem inherently weak and dull.
:francis:

Everyone is turning into you.
:troll:
The name was pronounced as such from the Greek period onward and was originally wrongly read as Seb.[3] The usual Egyptian name was "Geb", perhaps 'The lame one'
In the Heliopolitan Ennead (a group of nine gods created in the beginning by the one god Atum or Ra), Geb is the husband of Nut, the sky or visible daytime and nightly firmament, the son of the earlier primordial elements Tefnut (moisture) and Shu ("emptiness"), and the father to the four lesser gods of the system – Osiris, Seth, Isis and Nephthys. In this context, Geb was believed to have originally been engaged with Nut and had to be separated from her by Shu, god of the air.[4] Consequently, in mythological depictions, Geb was shown as a man reclining, sometimes with his phallus still pointed towards Nut. Geb and Nut together formed the permanent boundary between the primeval waters and the newly created world. [5]
why did the egyptians believe the earth had to be separated from the heaven :jbhmm:Geb sound like a JBO breh

God was everywhere from the beginning.

It's crazy how people who supposedly don't believe in God invest so much time into talking about Him

Yeah it's crazy how people who supposedly (tee-hee) don't believe in things which don't exist invest so much time into talking about things which don't exist.

(coli reasoning) It must mean that those things really do exist ... :patrice:

Like the MCU or star-trek or any written science fiction or buddha or aliens or godzilla or king kong or Na'vi or ..... People spend so much time talking about them they must exist.

Black Cat/Felicity Hardy exists :blessed:

I'm saving for my ticket to Pandora (which also doesn't exist)

Damn that adds context to the older folks who always told me to not take the Bible so literal .. answers could be right in our face the whole time
