So Christians, before the flood there was water above the sky. What held it up?

Question

You do realize that water is more dense than air, right????

So water vapor is above the sky now. I thought it was in the sky. especially since even vaporized H2O is more dense than H2. Any water outside of Earths's atmosphere would sink to at least cloud level. Please, think before you call people names.

Answer 1

I believe it was to the left of the lake of fire

Answer 2

Jehovah was responsible for the original watering of the ground by means of a mist arising from the earth, and he established the laws governing evaporation of water and its precipitation as rain. (Ge 2:5, 6; Job 36:27.) On the second creative day, God produced an expanse by having some water remain on earth while raising a great quantity high above the globe; the waters above the expanse undoubtedly supplied the water whereby the wicked were later destroyed in the Flood of Noah’s day.

The Second and Third “Days”

Before the Creator made dry land appear on the third creative “day,” he lifted some of the waters. As a result, the earth was surrounded by a blanket of water vapor. The ancient record does not, and need not, describe the mechanisms used. Instead, the Bible focuses on the expanse between the upper and surface waters. It calls this the heavens. Even today people use this term for the atmosphere where birds and airplanes fly. In due course, God filled this atmospheric heavens with a mix of gases vital for life.

The Creator could have employed natural processes to lift these waters and keep them aloft. These waters fell in the days of Noah. (Genesis 1:6-8; 2 Peter 2:5; 3:5, 6) This historic event left an indelible mark on the human survivors and their descendants, as anthropologists confirm. We find this event reflected in flood accounts preserved by peoples earth wide.

The first instance in the Biblical record when rain is specifically mentioned as falling is in the account of the Flood. Then “the floodgates of the heavens were opened,” and “the downpour upon the earth went on for forty days and forty nights.” Ge 7:11, 12; 8:2.

Had there been rain prior to this? The Bible does not say. Genesis 2:5 says: “Jehovah God had not made it rain.” But this is how Moses, who lived centuries later, expressed matters in discussing not Noah’s day but a time long before that. As shown at Genesis 7:4, Jehovah referred to rain when speaking to Noah, and evidently Noah understood what he meant.

God told Noah that He was going to bring upon the earth “the deluge of waters,” or “the heavenly ocean,” Down to that time, such a thing had never occurred. But all creation visible to Noah stood as an evident demonstration that God could indeed bring such a destructive deluge. Moved by faith, Noah built the ark.

Answer 3

Some people are denser that a Neutron Star. They even think that god created the stars and then created light in such a way that we could see them millions of light years away even though they were only created six thousand years ago, and that god created the earth with rocks, that just happened to look like the fossils of extinct creatures just to mess with our heads, and put oil that acts like the reprocessed material of an ancient earth just to give us gas for Preacher Ted's SUV

Answer 4

Before the flood, no man had ever see rain. All thier food that was grown in the fields was watered by the dew in the early morning. That is why the people thought Noah was crazy to speak of a flood. They had never seen rain before. God held up the rain in the clouds the same way He does today. What is your point?

Answer 5

There is a band of atmosphere that has a constant temperature that is above boiling.

If the water was keep in this space it would have remained a vapor, which is lighter than air.

Answer 6

Matthew 19:26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
Mark 10:27 And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.
Luke 1:37 For with God nothing shall be impossible.
Luke 18:27 And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.

Answer 7

It's called water vapor. Who's ignorant of science now?

Answer 8

Maybe "God" kept it in a massive bowl on top of a shelf for just such an emergency!

Answer 9

it was ancient times no telling what differences there were all those years ago. And also god can do anything so no telling what he used or did.

Answer 10

it's magic........
