Do the majority of christians believe this?

Thunder Robot Asked by funadvice 10 months ago, 41 answers.

The universe and everything in it was created somewhere between 6,000 and
10,000 years ago, in six 24hr days?
* There was a world-wide flood about 4,500 years ago
* In this flood, all human, plant and animal life was destroyed except for eight people and the plants and animals which they had managed to load onto a boat and keep alive for just over a year
* All humans on Earth today are descendants of those eight people
* All animals and plants on Earth today are descended from the occupants of the boat ???

nope, not everyone agrees on the time range, cause after all no one knows how long adam and eve were in the garden, but the six days is true

Actually we do have a Age for adam at death so yes I believe it.
Gen 5:5 And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died.
World wide flood yes.
eight people yes.
Animals yes plants not mentioned in the bible that I recall.
and since I know your going to ask for proof. . . . I have Faith it happened, I don't need anything else.
And I'm not going to bother with debating with you Dundee

I'm not sure about all these technicalities you want to debate, but I do know that all truely saved Christians believe the Bible to be the infallible word of God and that Jesus Christ is their Lord and Savior - paid the price for all mans sins on the cross - man will either accept or reject this truth and yes, there are eternal consequences to this decision as the Bible clearly states - Christians aren't perfect but they do strive to do and say those things that would please Him...Hope this helps !!

The only thing that ALL Christians believe is that they've been saved by Jesus and stuff. You should get out more.

Thankyou!!! No worries...I can see I'm getting on your nerves. I have read the bible etc. Just trying to work out how people generally look at these things, no malice intended. Have a great Christmas, Thanks again for your input.

Hey xiigzag with over 1200 answers, it would seem like you need to get out more!!

Hmmm... I thought it was forty-days & forty nights...

Wow... your insult variety is very one-dimensional.

I'm back Sheriff...Insults? I'll leave that to your well-educated mind. That is a nasty trait you have...we forgive you.

Nooo purple person...I think it rained for 40 days & 40 nights, not exactly sure how long they were on the boat for. Maybe some of the better educated Christian friends will be able to provide us with that answer. Have a nice day

Your 'honesty' requires refinement too...

No, 'honestly'...However I may have come across in the past, does not truly reflect the person inside. Like yourself...I am in need of refinement in many facets of my personality. I am willing to admit that...
BUT...
I have also seen your numerous attacks on peoples sensibilities, it would seem apparent that your EGO could do with some adjustments. So it happens...I'm a sandan in the art of adjustments

*the universe was made in 6 x 24hr days = yes
*I'm not sure about the time scale of when the earth was created. surely it must be way earlier than 6,000-10,000 yr ago. the earth had been around for hundreds of thousands of years.
*the flood info' and being desended from the people/animals/plants on the boat is right. I have no idea about when it happened or how long they were on the boat.

samurai/dundee, you're the middle-aged guy who made two accounts on a website so you could pick a fight and insult some guy over the Internet. I still say you need to get out more, you being in Australia and all.

People do or say stupid things, I point it out. And people say A LOT of stupid things on this site. So, I'm fairly busy most of the time. Ego has nothing to do with it... pay closer attention.

He says he's busy pointing out stupid things people say, but there's no need to be abusive though...a sign of your a lack of intelligence maybe? or your own ingrained stupidity?...just behave yourself in future...pretty purple pirate

Who did I insult? Jealously will get you nowhere...

Can I go back to the original question?

The majority of Christians believe that we are saved by Jesus and all that stuff (thanks xiiqzaq). They also believe the Bible is God's word to us and is infallable, but it has to be said that how that is interpreted does vary.

One thing I do believe is that if I was the Devil, trying to get Christians to ignore God and what God wants us to do, I'd find silly little things to divinde us over, like the questions asked above.

That doesn't mean that I think the questioner is particularly devilish! It's fine to ask. But when we Christians get into arguing about the fine points of exactly what the Bible means by these things, we're distracting ourselves and others from the bigger picture, which is:

Most people in the world aren't saved by Jesus (and all that stuff).
Most people in the world aren't as wealthy as us.
Many people in the world suffer because of the greed or ignorance of others.
Many people in the world are really unhappy.

I think those things matter more than how we answer your original questions.

Honesty is never abusive... only just. And my behavior will remain unchanged, for it is one of the few constants upon this website. The chances of my changing are significantly less than yours... as you've already proven... Diet-Limey...
