LostSouls7 Posted July 13, 2014 #1 Share Posted July 13, 2014 (edited) Yes if you have never read Genesis 9:20-25 it's the best scripture ever written. Noah gets drunk and naked. I've been reading the bible from the start every chapter and I must say it's entertaining.. but this scripture makes me laugh. Growing up they never read it while telling Noah's Story! I think the Ark is fun. But not as fun as the story of him getting drunk off wine and passing out naked! This should part of the story needs more attention I think Any comments about this chapter and verse are welcome. I never knew reading the bible would actually be this fun !

Rlyeh Posted July 13, 2014 #3 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Better than Lot getting drunk and knocking up his daughters? That's some Biblical family values right there. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubblykiss Posted July 13, 2014 #4 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Better than Lot getting drunk and knocking up his daughters? That's some Biblical family values right there. I was just experiencing hospitality at a Jewish friend's house and it got me to thinking all about Lot. But this is a debate for another thread I suppose.

Skep B Posted July 13, 2014 #7 Share Posted July 13, 2014 I always took it as a thing to say "Hey, you're gonna **** up, you're still important" same w/ the guy who was a pedophile, the murderer's, the adulterer's God uses them all in the old testament. which, considering the content of the old testament by and large, is a nice message. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostSouls7 Posted July 14, 2014 Author #8 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Hey the Bible... says drunks will not inherit the Kingdom... but Noah used to get drunk. If Noah did it so can we! Drink up friends! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you really find that part entertaining then I would like to suggest that you read a series by California author, Vaughn Heppner. Here is a link to part one of that series.These books start with Noah's youngest son Ham as an ancient man recounting to his descendant the Pharaoh, the time from when Noah and his son's built the ark in pre-dilluvian times to when Jehova scatters the descendants of Noah by causing a schism in Babel. The part about Noah's drunkenness is featured in book two I believe. It's a great read. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose it doesn't help the churches reading this verse about Noah being drunk... I mean churches say getting drunk is bad. But i can just read about Noah getting drunk and say well why could Noah do it then ? I wanna get drunk to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Merton Posted July 15, 2014 #24 Share Posted July 15, 2014 One wonders about this story and how it may have evolved. Of course it's just guesswork, and seems to be a feeble attempt to explain God's seeming preference for Semites. Of course it represents the old thinking that curses are handed down through the generations, one of the more unfortunate and superstitious and indefensible assumptions of the Bible.
