Pre-Flood "Aqueous Ring": Fact or Fiction?

[matthewott]

One of our brethren sent this booklet to me after introducing me to a theory that apparently has been circulating in CI, though this is the first I've been exposed to it. It was written by one E.T. Tennyson back in the late 60's. While I know my brother means well, and is doing what we all should be doing in digging for the Truth, it should be pretty obvious that this publication has too many flaws to put any creedance in this so called "Aqueous Ring" theory. Here is the .pdf file which I have annotated up til about page 18. Page 22 was as far as I had gotten in this 32 page booklet before I couldn't take it anymore and had to start picking apart what I considered obvious.

I like to hear some thoughts on this subject...

There are certain questions I have concerning this theory, however, I cannot say that the author's position is totally or partially misguided. We simply do not know with assurance.

I always have to ask myself: Is it relevant? It makes nice conversation and some miscellaneous debate among those who have measured the weightier aspects of scripture, but it is not a reason for division.

[matthewott]

I certainly would never consider such a trivial piece of scriptural interpretation as worthy of causing division. Presenting such interpretations to the ekklesia for scrutiny is our duty and the purpose of this forum

Matt,

You're back! Praise YHWH!
