Gen 7 - How could Noah be declared "righteous" if there was no "law" at that time?

Join us as we show you that the Tree of Knowledge of good and evil is the Torah. We'll give many reasons that prove it had to exist long before Mt. Sinai.

The Ark is now constructed, the animals are assembled and Grandpa Methuselah, who probably served Elohim longer than anybody who ever lived, was probably on his death bed right now.

Virtually all biblical scholars, whether they are Christian or Jewish, believe that man didn't know the difference between clean and unclean animals at this point. The Jewish people have the mentality that the Torah was given at Mount Sinai and it was given to them only. Christians just ignore it altogether,

They also believe it was given at Mount Sinai. The Torah was not actually "given" at Mount Sinai. Torah was just the terms of the Covenant. Torah is the tree of knowledge, of good and evil that Adam and Eve ate of and that is what made sin come alive. He told Noah to take 7 pairs of the clean animals, and a pair of unclean animals, and Noah obeyed without question. He knows what is happening. He didn’t reply with “what are clean animals?” If Torah was given amount Sinai, how did Noah know this? We've talked about this before, but how did Abraham keep His charge, commandments, statutes, and Torah? That's in

Genesis 26:4-5 (This is Elohim talking to Isaac.)
“And I will multiply your descendants as the stars of heaven, and will give your descendants all these lands; and by your descendants all the nations of the earth shall be blessed; 5because Abraham obeyed Me and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes and My laws” (Torah).

Gen 18:19
“For I have chosen him, in order that he may command his children and his household after him to keep the way of the LORD

What does righteousness mean? Doing the right thing, what does Torah tell us? It tells us exactly what is "the right thing." Following Torah is being righteous. Righteousness is Torah. They cannot be separated.

Many say the flood was not worldwide, but a local flood. The expressions implying a universal flood occur over 30 times in Genesis 6 through 9. A local flood could not have picked up that big boat. There are more than 270 stories from cultures all over the world, that talk about a big flood event in their history.

Matthew 24:37-39
“For the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah. 38“For as in those days which were before the flood they were eating and drinking, they were marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, 39and they did not understand until the flood came and took them all away; so shall the coming of the Son of Man be.

2 Peter 3:6
through which the world at that time was destroyed, being flooded with water.

Clear evidence is in this chapter and you will see that as we study Genesis.

The Ark rested on the mountains of Ararat 150 days in the waters and secured itself on dry land after 150 days. They have to wait for the waters to recede enough for them to disembark, they were on the Ark 371 days altogether. Notice that Raven just flew away and didn’t come back. The raven is a scavenger. There would have been an abundance of bloated food floating around for the scavenging raven. The dove, on the other hand, is a clean bird and kept returning to the Ark with a message. The dove came back and brought an olive branch. The dove could only find comfort from the Ark until the waters receded enough for him to find a place to live. People claim that earthquakes have increased recently, therefore Jesus is returning soon! That is Jack Van Impe nonsense.

Earthquakes are less frequent now than they have been in the past. That makes sense since everything is settling down since the time of the big flood. Things are tending toward a state of equilibrium, and it is getting closer to that state of equilibrium with time. Noah and his family as well, get to radiate out from Mount Ararat to open country. They could move into all kinds of places, into Asia, Western to Europe South, into Africa, penguins could go north to Siberia. Elohim said He’ll never again declare judgement on all living things on the face of the earth, that's what we see today that’s not going to happen, not everything is going to be destroyed again. The testimony of this flood, the record of it is found everywhere in the crust of the Earth, okay, we have the fossil record as a huge testimony of this and that's something that can't be ignored in my opinion, now they try to explain it away, but they don't do a very good job.

We are so glad to have you join us!
