I'm sure you know a belief is not a fact.

Speaking of facts, for a fact there is no mention in Gen 9 of flesh dead of natural cause.

If x then y

Not x then not y because of x

If that were true then God was definitely acting contrary to His own sacred standard for specifically providing unbled flesh of carcasses found dead of natural cause to be eaten by descendants of Noah. Right?

Who is setting the standard for these thoughts: God or man? These thoughts become contradictory when a belief, as declared by the same individual, is not based on fact. Since scripture does not mention carrion as an edible substance, that belief cannot be considered a fact.

Any faithful successor of Noah would clearly grasp that God's provision in verse 4 encompasses the inclusion of a lifeless animal tainted by nature's pollution. 

The main question is whether obedience and disobedience, which were also present among Noah's descendants, continue to persist today.

I’m on it. It will be a fine successor to ‘TrueTom vs the Apostate!’

The details have already been checked for timeline accuracy and hard fossil evidence under the working title “ The First Cain Mutiny”.

I rejected including two big honkin’ dinosaurs because they died 65 million years ago.

This is what happens when a thread gets worn out. Everyone starts mucking about, with no more meaningful contributions to add. It's a sign.

More has been accomplished in this discussion than meets the eye. Maybe there's more life to it yet. We'll see.

Oh yeah, it happens all the time. A thread will deteriorate into a bunch of ‘treading water’ remarks, then a new wave comes along and everyone washes off in a new direction—must to the consternation of The Librarian (that old hen) who cries about her card catalogue and how it exists to keep separate topics separate. 

Sometimes a thread even deteriorates into, ‘You’re stupid!’ ‘No, you’re stupid!’ ‘When you were born the doctor probably slapped your mama and not you!’ and so forth. You come along with your shovel to bury the thread, then it catches another breath and it is Game On again in a new direction.

Yeah. That's definitely an exit point for me.

If someone really is stupid telling them so won't change a thing. All you've done is waste a few seconds of your life. Why bother? 

Now, ignorance? Total nuther subject. But stupid? No. Not going there.

[Pudgy]

why bother?

…. because sometimes playing Whack-A-Mole with the deliberately clueless is a moral imperative.

Like stinkbugs, they are hard to squash, and with morons it’s illegal to kill them.

How can individuals accurately identify those who mimic the behavior and actions of others as mentioned? It is indeed quite baffling for observers when they are unable to discern any distinction. Ephesians 4:29

[Pudgy]

Yes!

That is why everyone should have their very own Whack-A-Mole setup.

Practice makes perfect!!

[George88]

Funny it should be mentioned in such a way since it could easily start from the closed club, ha!, ha! ha!

[Pudgy]

… or an igloo shaped doghouse !
