Genesis 8:1--Did God Temporarily Forget Noah?

Welcome to the Bible Difficulties and Answers podcast with your host, Lance Smith. In this episode, we tackle the intriguing question: Did God temporarily forget Noah as suggested in Genesis 8:1? We explore this verse through the lens of open theism and examine whether God had a "senior moment" and forgot about those on the ark.

Join us as we revisit the concept of anthropomorphism and delve into the deeper meaning of the Hebrew word zakar. We'll present various perspectives, including insights from the Big Book of Bible Difficulties, and discuss the theological implications of God's immutability versus the open theist viewpoint.

Stay tuned for a thought-provoking discussion that aims to clarify whether God ever truly forgot Noah and what "remembering" signifies in a biblical context. As always, show notes will include links to all discussed materials. Let's learn together!
