There is no love in the interpretation of this doctrine....none -that is why it is false. Thanks for making my point.
This doctrine?:
Matthew 24:37-39 (NKJV)
37 But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. 38 For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, 39 and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.
It's not mine. It's Jesus' doctrine. No interpretation involved.
I was responding to RJP - you are the person who brought up that verse again. Apparently you enjoy derailing threads.

THE LAW convicts of sin, while grace provides the ability to repent and accept Christ.
Simple.
That is the way of changing lives. It's worked for thousands of years because that's the way we are.
Have you ever served in the military?
The first thing that's done is to teach the ex-civilian that his way of thinking, acting, doing, and being are all wrong.
"There is the right way and the wrong way and the Marine way."
It is a new way of living from the clothing to the behavior to the goals set for behavior.
And no one EVER became a Marine until he completely and totally turned his back on his civilian life and ways.
Why is this method of training so successful? Because a change of life REQUIRES A CHANGE OF LIVIING.
The news that hell fire awaits ought to be a strong incentive to change one's life, behavior and outlook, unless one is a fool and desires to challenge God; the one who is the keeper of the door to the flames as well as the door to life.
It is never a surprise to hear the incessant prattlings of those who believe that God has somehow made a mistake with heaven and hell.
If we are to be judged accordingly, all would be consigned to the flames. That is justice for no one cares about or seeks God. Not a single soul.
But God is merciful in that He has mingled mercy with grace and has opened the book of life to some.
Apparently that's wrong too.
This is a serious question. Do you treat your creations in the same manner? It is either the RJP way or the pit of fire? Seriously?! Would you kill your children for not believing in your view of God? Or believing and trusting in your position as the head of the household, installed by God? If not, why not?

Are you always in attack mode? That's pretty brutal Aspen. Where's the love???
Where is your response? Did you answer the question I wasn't asking you? I must have missed it! All I see is a rude comment about my post; a misunderstanding of my post; and a taunt.
I accept your apology.
You don't get it. I didn't offer an apology. You should apologize for calling the Bible myth. You should apologize to God. And for being unloving to others as you demand from others.

Are you calling Jesus a liar Aspen? You should APOLOGIZE!!!!!! To Jesus!
1 Thessalonians 5:23
May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Why would you believe part of Luke but not when Luke wrote about the Flood? Can you say 'contradiction' Aspen?
Luke 17:26-27 (NKJV)
26 And as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man: 27 They ate, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.
John 14:27
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

So glad I don't try and know God through the veil of the old testament/covenant or He would honestly seem mean to me still... but when I look at Him through Christ alone I see a perfect revelation of Him and that He is Love...
I love how the divisions are destroyed the closer we come to looking at the Father through Christ alone... that is because divisions are carnal as is everyone who is still trying to see God through the veil... however the veil is removed in Christ and so are the division because there is only one Spirit... and the New Covenant which is by that Spirit... for God is Spirit and we must worship Him in Spirit and Truth... the Spirit and the Truth come through Christ alone... He is the only way to the Father... He is the only way to see the Father isn't mean... that the Father is Love...
