The Two Flood Stories of Genesis

Book of Origins〚 *The Two Flood Stories of Genesis* 〛Pentateuch in Perspective

In this class, we dive into Torah Portion Noach, exploring the fascinating details of the biblical flood narratives as presented in two sources: the Priestly (P) and Yahwist (J) accounts. We’ll look at the nuanced differences in these texts—like the number of animals and the duration of the flood—that give insight into the ancient storytelling tradition. Join us for an engaging journey through the story of Noah as we seek to uncover its deeper layers.

Ross, this is unrelated but I hope you will reply. In listening to your videos I hear you mention that you were raised in the “ Churches” and have not fell away when faced with the errors and that your son Seth is working along at your side. I am a wife and a mother of 5 people children whom I LOVE dearly. I brought them to the churches and left churches that taught contrary to the word.
My husband is an unbeliever and brought in pagan world influences: music, movies, friends, and examples. I am praying for my family to return and be restored to their purity and LOVE of TRUTH.
How were you brought up and how did you raise your children????!!!
PLEASE share your insights
And Everyone pray for my husband and children to forsake ALL FOOLISHNESS!🤲🏼🤲🏼🤲🏼
