Right! This way you won't have a clue to what goes on outside.

The bible has a built-in dictionary.
Something hard to be understood is usually written in 2 or 3 different ways for clarification.
(KJV) Genesis 1:27 So God created man in his [own] image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

(KJV) Genesis 1:27
1 - So God created man in his [own] image,
2 - in the image of God created he him;
3 - male and female created he them.

Actually if you read the verse preceding you'll discover that when God spoke in plural form he actually meant it for himself alone:

(KJV) Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
(KJV) Genesis 1:27 So God created man in his [own] image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

And you have to keep reading. As we learned from Ellery Queen, it's only in the final chapter where we learn the Butler done it -- how Noah knew the diff between the clean and unclean animals isn't disclosed till Leviticus, and then Peter's vision of the Great Sheet modified that. amen?

All animals were considered clean in Noah's time. But Noah and his predecessors were vegetarians as God commanded in Genesis 1 and 2.

Then again there was Abel and his offering. But maybe he offered but didn't eat.

It was only after Noah that they ate meat. Was there any evidence that they ate meat in Genesis? Isaac ate venison. Esau was a hunter.

But only after Leviticus were certain animals considered unclean.

But i think Peter's indicated that the blood of Jesus cleansed even the animals if I'm not mistaken.

The Butler's dream meant LIFE, but the Baker's dream meant DEATH. Has to do with how you slice it, I spose, but you'd better have the True Bread in your top basket... hmm?

If all the animals were clean in Noah's time, how do you understand this passage?

Genesis 7:1 And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation. 2 Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female.

Without the vision of the Sheet, Peter wouldn't have known to go to Cornelius house and accept the Gentiles as equal with Jews. Then Peter became Minister to the Jews, and Paul to the Gentiles. Gal 2:7 The dietary biz just a distraction, I think... :hungry?:

You got a point there.

Just like what God told Peter. The Gentiles are justified through faith.

(Not sure if the attachement will work - first time I have tried attaching a pdf to a post??) If it is readable, the pdf is on the Periodic Table -- an indication that there is WAY MORE science in the Bible than most Christians realise -- which tends to upset the fundies, who don't like the notion that science and the Bible have common ground.
