When I first heard put forth the idea that the flood was the first time that it had rained upon the earth, I found it amusing. I was very young in the faith at the time.

But over the next few years, as I matured in the faith, I came to believe it to be true. Not through outside influences or resources, nor through studying that particular subject, but just through my daily Bible study.

And these many years later, I still do believe it, though I am not adamant about it. What do others here think about the idea?

There is no such thing as preaching Christ and Him crucified, unless we preach what nowadays is called Calvinism. It is a nickname to call it Calvinism; Calvinism is the gospel, and nothing else. - C.H. Spurgeon
