Is building your ark on a barge cheating?

He hasn’t heeded God’s orders about the seize of the ark.

It's a mock-up, hopefully his upcoming full-sized Ark will be fully seaworthy.

God promised never to send another flood, so time isn’t a factor. Ya gotta start somewhere.

But God didn’t order him.

The good news, though, is that Noah was obedient!

“I attended a baptism service of someone who said they came to Christ as a result of seeing our “Ark”.”

Wow! One soul is worth all his effort.

I remember the claims that Mel Gibson’s movie was going to bring revival to America. Good call...... Did anyone get saved watching that film?

The movie is still contributing to saving souls and uniting Christians.
