| How much water is there in the whole world? | |
| By: Gaffer Date: June 12, 2015, 10:39 pm | |

| If all the water in the atmosphere fell to earth as rain and if | |
| all the ice above sea level melted, how much would it raise the | |
| sea level? Is there enough water in the clouds and in the ice | |
| to cover the tops of mountains? | |

| what must also be considered is the fountains of the deep[earth] | |
| and that if the mountains were levelled and also if the sea beds | |
| were filled in and levelled the we would have a global flood - | |

| The Bible says the mountains were covered by the waters. It | |
| doesn't say they were leveled. They clearly weren't leveled, | |
| not if Noah's ark came to rest later on the mountains of Ararat. | |
| Your mind is inventing things. | |
| Any ideas about how much water there is in the atmosphere and | |
| how much it would raise the sea level if it all fell as rain? | |
| How much is tied up in glaciers? | |
| The amount of water in the ground is quite small, really -- less | |
| than 2% of the earth's total water supply. | |

| The bible didnt give a detailed topography of the whole earths | |
| layout. Assuming anything just isnt so because it wasnt stated | |
| in scripture is a failed point of clarity and logic. A | |
| christian is to live by faith, versus trying to prove items of | |
| faith held by others to be wrong. | |

| Assuming hills and mountains were leveled when Genesis says they | |
| were covered doesn't seem quite right to me. If they were | |
| leveled, they would have ceased being hills and mountains. | |
| Genesis 7:19 And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the | |
| earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, | |
| were covered. | |
| 20 Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the | |
| mountains were covered. | |

| No one has any ideas about how much water there is in the whole | |
| world? Maybe I should have asked something like how many | |
| angels can sit on the point of a pin. | |
| I fear I am boring people. I am horrified to think perhaps I'm | |
| boring people. I think maybe I should go silent. If you need | |
| me, you can always reach me via PM. If a member gets | |
| outrageous, you can also always report a post, and I'll get a | |
| notice. I can't guarantee I'll be here on a regular basis. | |

| [font=courier]Start from nothing, Mike and then simply trust in | |
| the God in whom you do believe to help you as He will. All of | |
| the knowledge of men will tie into the things of God, or so I | |
| believe, but let us not attempt to do the tying. We, in | |
| ourselves, will err in the doing. | |
| You are looking for something that only God is able to provide. | |
| Remember all to the questions that God put to Job? He purposely | |
| asked questions to which He knew Job did not have the answers. | |
| Have you not done the same thing with 'water'? | |
| Some may have an answer or be able to find answers in books or | |
| on the Internet or in the ideas and calculations of men, but why | |
| would any of those answers be the best answers? Do we trust some | |
| men more than others? | |
| Now you have decided to close your mouth because your thread did | |
| not become the most popular. Shutting our mouth for a season can | |
| be a good thing, but don't let be as Elijah running away and | |
| hiding himself from what he did not like or was unable to | |
| understand in his world. | |
| All of us at times have felt sorry for ourselves because things | |
| have not gone as we would like to believe that they should have | |
| gone. Is this a good reason to say to yourself or to God or to | |
| your friends: 'Stop the world, I want to get off!" | |
| I am going quote a scripture here and please read it and with | |
| you do have in you ask of God for help in applying it to | |
| yourself: | |
| "Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in | |
| whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content." Phil 4:11 | |
| You really have been and are blessed, Mike. Don't run yourself | |
| down because you think that things should have been or should be | |
| better! Give God the glory always![/font] | |

| [font=trebuchet ms]Absolutely. Sometimes suffering is not only | |
| unnecessary, but caused by negligence and neglect. God is not | |
| to blame. People are. Sometimes suffering is allowed to go on | |
| way beyond what should ever be allowed. No one can or should be | |
| "content" under such circumstances. We need to step up to the | |
| plate and take action. We need to DO something about the | |
| political and medical bull**** that goes on in this | |
| country.[/font] | |

| how much water is there? | |
| in the beginning was God | |
| and God created darkness | |
| and in he darkness angels were created and dwell | |
| a globe of water formed within the holy spirit | |
| [[ the holy spirit was above the waters]] | |
| light appeared | |
| and the globe of water opened | |
| some to form the firmament | |
| this allowed "LAND" to be seen | |
| from within the water | |
| how much water is there ??? | |
| enough to have all the land within it ! | |
