But every last drop of poison is poison; every spark of fire is fire; and the last bit of flesh that remains in the believer is still enmity. When God’s grace changes our nature, it doesn’t change the nature of the flesh. It conquers it, weakens it, mortally wounds it, so that we are no longer Captain Ahabs by nature; yet his defiant malice smolders in our flesh. By the time Paul wrote Romans, he must have been as Christlike as anyone can expect to be on this side of heaven, and he surely spend his days putting his flesh to death. Still he cried out for deliverance from this irreconcilable enemy (Rom. 7:24).

CREATION #3

4.1.11. Mountain tops visible in 74 days (Gen 8.5).

4.1.12. Raven released 40 days later (Gen 8.6-7).

4.1.13. Dove released 7 days later (implied) (Gen 8.10). 4.1.14. Second dove released 7 days later; olive leaf (Gen 8.10). 4.1.15. Third dove released 7 days later; did not return (Gen 8.12). 4.1.16. Ground dry 29 days later (Gen 8.13). 4.1.17. Noah commanded to leave 57 days later (Gen 8.14- 19). 4.1.18. A total of 371 days on the ark. 4.1.19. Promise of weather and seasons (Gen 8.22). 4.1.20. Cloud and rainbow given as covenant of no more floods (Gen 9.8-17). 4.2. Geologic method: multiple working hypotheses. Any facts will support or refute certain hypotheses. 4.3. A correlation of Major Geologic features and Noah’s flood, a working hypothesis. 4.3.1. All those animals and food? Yes, the ark had 3 decks with a total capacity of over 520 rail road box cars. 4.3.2. Sources of water. 4.3.2.1. Fountains of the deep could refer to volcanic vents. 4.3.2.2. Floodgates of heaven; a water vapor canopy would flood from the sky with increased volcanic activity. 4.3.2.3. A decrease in atmospheric pressure and temperature at the same time would cause great rain storms. 4.3.3. Plate tectonics initiated at this time. The one way trip of plates across the mantle of the earth began at a time of massive extinction of animals and great geologic change. Modern tectonic (motion of earth) events are a residual of the motion initiated during the flood. 4.3.4. Non-volcanic mountains must form rapidly if they are to have their current structure (today’s tall mountains have formed since the flood). 4.3.5. Unique and enormous flood basalts were deposited under water (pillows, lake beds, petrified wood, soil). 4.3.6. Erosional features indicate rivers larger than any on earth today (Spokane). 4.3.7. Sedimentary rocks were deposited in situations not known to the earth today (sheets of sandstone, massive fossil beds, coal, Palouse hills). 4.3.8. Pol
