Ohhhh @YosemiteMountainMan
From my comment why go so extreme! I have followed JD for years like you! I believe you posted a comment that you could not find one error in JD’s you tube messages a week or two before 9/11. Thanks for standing strong and being a Berean of JD the man.
Either way! I like JD. I believe we will be in heaven together. I should have narrowed the passage down so people wouldnt think I was calling JD a false teacher.
What I was referring to was:
For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them in chains of darkness to be held for judgment; if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others;
I have agreed in the past with him regarding different translations. But he keeps saying God spared Noah because he was genetically pure! I grew up with the believe that God flooded mankind for their wickedness. The same kind of wickedness he destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah with and it also says so in the Bible with 2 Peter 2. Noah was found righteous in his day just like Lot was found righteous in his day. It has nothing to do with genetic purity. ARE YOU LISTENING TO THIS ARGUMENT(the argument of genetic purity does it sound familiar?)
Lets go back to the verse he was speaking of:
The Lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time. The Lord regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled. So the Lord said, ‘I will wipe from the face of the earth the human race I have created – and with them the animals, the birds and the creatures that move along the ground – for I regret that I have made them.’ But Noah found favour in the eyes of the Lord. This is the account of Noah and his family.Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and he walked faithfully with God.
It seems like wickedness was the theme of the day with the”human race”. Yet he found favor with Noah and his family because he walked faithfully with God.
So @YosemiteMountainMan…just so you know. The Lord is Awesome, Almighty, and Powerful! This Word was written for a reason and it contains something in it powerful! Reread the narrow passage then take a moment and read the whole thing.
I probably should go back to my original screen name
