Was Noah a lion tamer, or how did he control the lions and tigers and other dangerous animals,since God didn't

intervene but left all the details to Noah, after warning him that the world would be flooded?

Was Noah a lion tamer, or how did he control the lions and tigers and other dangerous animals,since God didn't
Its just a story. It was all made up - think about it, the writers weren't there because if they were, they would have died in the flood and would not have been able to write about it!
Reply:I just LOVE Noah questions! Such hilarity results if one considers the concept with attempted seriousness. Of course, Noah would have had to have possessed myriad talents (including the ability to handle all of those dangerous animals!) to have managed the entire flood episode as related in the Bible! My all-time favorite Q %26amp; A query, asked in all earnestness, was: After the flood, did the polar bears have to walk back to the North Pole?! The answers were obviously much more amusing than the question!
Reply:I am sure Noah was worried by the lions. Oh wait I don't think he was. Try looking up a little story about Daniel.
Reply:Wait, wait. God tells Noah to build Ark to save humanity from flood. God brings animals to ark. God brings flood as promised. God allows lions to eat Noah and family?


Dude, think out your traps before you waste the bait.
Reply:Have you seen the BBC series Jekyll? There is one scene where Mr. Hyde is in a lions den and he tells a man to enter. The man says he is afraid to because of the lions. Mr. Hyde motions and they all calm down and sit. The man says "You can control the lions?", and Hyde replies "Can't you? They're just lions."
Reply:It's possible that before the flood, all animals were vegetarian, and thus all the animals on the ark were too. What an animal's teeth look like means nothing. There's a water deer in Asia with teeth like a sabertooth tiger which is completely vegetarian. The Bible isn't crystal clear about when animals started eating each other but it is clear that in Eden, all animals ate fruits, vegetables, and seeds. By the way, if Noah wrote the story, then he would've been an eyewitness. I would think that a logical person of any intelligence would be able to figure this out without my help but apparently some can't. And as for the stories before that, it is very possible that those ancient stories were handed down to Noah and he preserved them in a waterproof case while the flood happened. If God wanted to preserve His Word, then that would be the most likely way to do it.
Reply:God made the lions and other wild animals tame just as he shut the mouths of the lions so they wouldn't eat Daniel.
Reply:Maybe it's the same way it's done in a zoo. Could there have been cages? I think so.
Reply:The Bible doesn't say that God didn't intervene. Being omnipotent and in sovereign, all-inclusive control of things -specially when it comes to his people- God must have intervened in helping Noah keep the dangerous animals in check, by both direct intervention and by giving Noah intelligence to handle it. Plus, remember that Noah was not alone but had a whole family to assist him. Also it's very probable that Noah chose only young specimens of the large predators like lions and tigers, namely, only calves that, in time, would fully grow and develop once in dry land ( that's what I would have done ).
Reply:He didn't leave all the details to Noah. He was very specific about the way he wanted the boat built, what to build it out of, the dimensions, how to coat it inside and out, what food to store, etc. The Bible says that the animals came to Noah - he didn't have to go searching for them - God brought the animals to Noah, and after they were all loaded up God himself shut the door. I don't think after all that, that he said "you're on your own, dude". It just didn't happen that way.





Also, nothing said that he loaded up the largest lions he could find. They could have been babies and therefore much easier to contain/manage. In addition, the ark had several floors, so he could have separated them physically.
Reply:we are leaving GOD out of the picture here.


not by OUR MIGHT..nor by our POWER


but by HIS SPIRIT%26gt;.


whatsoever GOD SAID..He will do it.


HE brought the animals in tame mode..put them to sleep the whole time on the ship..ect..whatever isn't able to sleep%26gt;%26gt;GOD told noah what food to put on the ship.


IT wsa GOD..who CLOSE THE DOOR..by the way of the ship..NOT NOAH.
Reply:Oh, but God DID help. He gave Noah all the instructions on how to build the Ark, He led the animals into the ark, and He closed the door of the ark. So, don't you think He may also have calmed the animals for Noah, so they could have a peaceful, and safe trip???
Reply:God was in control from beginning to end. Noah was obedient and worked hard for God.
Reply:You'd have to guess that if God put it on these animals to travel from all over their homes to come to the ark in male/female pairs, that God would have also been able either to calm the wildness out of those more ferocious flesh eaters just for the duration of the Arc's vpoyage. Or maybe you could say God suddenly gave Noah the skills and abilities to handle wild, man-eating beasts and keep them from eating the sheep and goats and pig and turkeys too..





That's of course if you want to go through the premutations of tying to make a lyrical allegory into a chapter out of westen. post-Gibbeons modern day history, which Noah would have had no idea abomut.





Its core truth is a lot easier, if not as poetical: there was a natural disaster. Maybe people drowned, many survived and some people even saved their own livestock,, kept t hem safe through this ordeal. The truth in that allegory is that God saves us from the problems in our lives, even if we have to do a lot of work to help Him as He helps us.
