Manage episode 422339638 series 3531541
Welcome to the Bible Difficulties and Answers podcast with your host, Lance Smith. In this episode, we explore the intriguing discrepancies in the story of Noah's Ark, focusing on the duration of the flood waters. Did it rain for 40 days and 40 nights, or did the flood last for 150 days? We delve into various interpretations and theories to make sense of these numbers.
We also discuss the prevalence of flood narratives across different cultures and whether these stories point to a shared historical event. Additionally, we examine how different Bible translations can impact our understanding of this event, and the importance of careful selection.
Join us as we analyze the evidence, interpretations, and implications, and conclude with Lance's thoughts on the matter.
