“Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit”.
John 12:24 ESV

Genesis 6:19 – How can there be ‘pairs’ of every animal but ‘sevens’ of the clean animals?
Gen 6:19 And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female.
Gen 7:2 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.
Faith Under Pressure
After establishing our position in grace, Paul turns to the reality of suffering. Romans 5:3 says, “And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience.” This is a remarkable statement. Paul does not merely say that believers tolerate tribulation or reluctantly survive it. He says that we glory in it because we understand that God is producing something through it.
Genesis 6:19 – How many pairs of animals were brought on the Ark?
The verse is taken to contradict Genesis 7:2 which says 7 of every clean kind. But the verse probably refers to the overall act of bringing a pair, or in absolute terms, at least a pair of every living thing (there wouldn’t be that many clean animals anyway). The point of the verse is to describe that a male and a female will be brought, saving the species, and not as to exactly how many pairs will be brought. Therefore, Genesis 7:2 is more specific in a certain area. This is supported by the fact that Genesis 7:2 says 7 pairs, male and its female, which is probably the author’s two by two in Genesis 7:9,15.
Conchs In Space!
The shell of the giant pink queen conch is made of such remarkable material that scientists speak of its design, even while they say that it is a product of evolutionary chance. The beautiful shell is made of a form of calcium carbonate called aragonite. Yet it is structured in such a way that it resists fractures 100 to 1,000 times better than aragonite ordinarily would.
Genesis 6:19 – How Many Animals of Each Kind did Noah Take into the Ark?
Ask children who are even vaguely familiar with the biblical account of the Flood how many animals of each kind Noah took into the ark, and you likely will hear, “Two!” Most Bible students are familiar with the instructions recorded in Genesis 6:19 that God gave to Noah: “And of every living thing of all flesh you shall bring two of every sort into the ark, to keep them alive with you; they shall be male and female” (Genesis 6:19, emp. added; cf. 7:15). It seems that fewer people, however, are aware that God also instructed Noah, saying, “You shall take with you seven each of every clean animal, a male and his female; two each of animals that are unclean, a male and his female; also seven each of birds of the air, male and female, to keep the species alive on the face of all the earth” (Genesis 7:2-3, emp. added). According to Bible critics, these verses are contradictory. “Are clean beasts to enter by 2’s or by 7’s?” asked skeptic Dennis McKinsey (1983, p. 1).
Behold
Behold the man! (John 19:5)
Genesis 6:7 – Does God Repent?
Gen 6:6 And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. 7 And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.
A Few Questions For Evolutionsts
Why do giraffes have long necks or kangaroos have pouches? Evolutionists answer that natural selection has favored the development of certain characteristics while discouraging and eliminating other features. But if this is what happened, we, who believe in creation have a few questions.
Genesis 6:19 – How many pairs of animals were brought on the Ark?
And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female. (Genesis 6:19 KJV)
The Offensive Christ
I cannot shake the conviction that much of the evangelical church has become embarrassed by Jesus Christ.
Genesis 6:6 – Does God repent?
And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
(Genesis 6:6 KJV)
God’s Unusual Fig Arrangement
Completely unrelated creatures that depend entirely upon one another to live and have no way of living without one another, pose a very serious challenge to those who claim that all living things evolved. The relationship is called reciprocal altruism.
Genesis 6:6 – Was God Satisfied with His Creation or Not?
At evilbible.com, a website that purports to “spread the vicious truth about the Bible” (2013), the very first alleged “obvious contradiction” listed involves Genesis 1:31 and Genesis 6:6. Since Genesis 1:31 says, “God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good,” and Genesis 6:6 reveals that “the Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart,” the Bible is said to be contradictory and untrustworthy. Allegedly, the Lord could not be both satisfied and dissatisfied with His Creation.
Enduring Faith
Romans 5:1–4
“Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope.”
