Christians - Do you believe the Noah's Ark story?

Question

Christians - Do you believe the Noah's Ark story?

Answer 1

Yes I do.

Answer 2

As with any question, there are a whole host of beliefs tied to the question.  I am challenged how to answer this question as you didn't include the other theists who also hold this passage to be true.

This is puzzling.  Are you attempting to be a Christian?  If so, why would you ask this question before asking whether Jesus die, was buried, and rose again from the dead?  Given the two questions, the resurrection of Jesus is more important.  And if you agree that God did in fact Jesus died for your sins and you can receive forgiveness through His resurrection, then you certain can understand that Noah's account is also true.

However, if you can't hold Jesus' resurrection to be true, then you most likely believe:

Man's fate is like that of the animals; the same fate awaits them both: As one dies, so dies the other. All have the same breath; man has no advantage over the animal. Everything is meaningless.  All go to the same place; all come from dust, and to dust all return.

I say this because you know about the scriptures but don't associate them with the other theists that also hold them to be true.  As everything is meaningless, what was the point of your question?

Please be internally consistent in your question to me and your answer to this question.  I would like to talk to you on a level playing field.

Answer 3

No. I believe there is a greater spiritual message in the account. The flood was a deluge of sin in the world. The ark represented Noah spiritually  rising above the sin

Answer 4

Jesus compared his second presence to the way things were on the Earth just before before the  flood of Noah's day at Matthew 25

37 For just as the days of Noah were, so the presence of the Son of man will be.

Answer 5

Nope.  It's a story, not something that literally happened.

Answer 6

YES!

God loves you...God bless

Answer 7

Yes. And amen to New Creation. Jesus spoke both of Noah and of Adam. He didn't sound like He took it to be figurative, either.

Matthew 24: 36 “But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, [2] but the Father only. 37 For as were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 38 For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, 39 and they were unaware until the flood came and swept them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.

Answer 8

Yes, I believe what the Scriptures tell us about Noah and the ark.

Answer 9

I'm a christian, but never really thought it was, But I started doing a little research and there is loads of evidence saying it was very possible. The Ark was over 2 million Cubic feet which half alone would be enough to hold 150 thousand sheep. Only around 50 thousand animals would have been needed and they would have been babies. The other great evidence is the strata of sediment around the world. And things like whales bones found in tact on top of mountains etc etc there is loads of convincing proof on line, it's not as crazy as it sounds when you see the proof.

Answer 10

makes more sense than that life originated in crystals on top of stalagtites.....

Joh 3:12  If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?

Answer 11

Jesus Christ does as he spoke of it.

Yes, I do as well.

Answer 12

Oh yes because 2 of every species in the world was within walking distance of Noah.

Answer 13

Why WOULDN'T one believe that one man and his three sons built a boat based on instructions from a great sky-god--a boat capable of weathering a storm that produced more rain than scientists say even exists on earth today; a boat which held every species of animal which could not survive a flood that covered the tallest mountain in the world and killed every living human being except for this one man in his family, because they were the only humans on the earth out of millions at the time who were worthy of saving.  

Who WOULDN'T believe that simply bringing two of each kind of animal would be enough to preserve the variety of life we see on earth, when if such a scenario were true, one lion killing one antelope would spell the end of that species of antelope.  How many kills must a predator make to stay alive in the time it would take for their prey species to conceive, gestate, birth, and raise offspring?
