Yes, but certain conditions must prevail before he returns. And those conditions are rife.

It is important not to limit the meaning of the word "as" in the days of Noah. Because it identifies the situation preceding the judgement. As I understand, the Lord can return any moment now, nothing yet to fulfill before his return. …

“Just as it was in the days of Noah, so too it will be in the days of the Son of Man. People were eating, they were drinking, they were marrying, they were being given in marriage—right up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the floo…

But Jesus said it will be as in the days of Noah.

If you contradict Peter, which BTW you do, how does it not prove you are completely wrong on Baptism?

You cannot use Matthew 24:37-39 to prove the earth will not be violent as it is today. Only that business will continue as usual leading up to Christ's return. And this against the violent backdrop we have today.

It is enough to prove you and your choice commentaries wrong. And that's good enough for me.

You cannot find a great tribulation in Matthew 24:37-39. Only peaceful conditions leading up to Christ's return. They don't marry while getting their heads cut off...etc.

It's the only "inspired" commentary we have.

If you confine your "Days of Noah" to “For just like the days of Noah were, so the coming of the Son of Man will be. For in those days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day No…

Thanks, but please understand the Book of Acts is the only divinely inspired commentary, on the NT. Of course it is scripture....

If we use the entire bible for a description of Noah's days, we can see more than if we limit them to "marrying and giving in marriage" as is the norm today. But your narrow view rules out the "great tribulation theory".

I can understand your position but the scope of Noah's days are much broader than you allow for.

If Noah's days were violent, according to Genesis, and Jesus says the days leading up to his return will be like them, how would sound hermeneutics draw any different conclusion from what I said?

It has everything to do with showing the world situation leading up the Christ's return. That is the reason Jesus used Noah to show us the conditions. It is not anything like the events many look for today.

There is an extreme deviation from the NT model of baptism in many denominations. And a partial deviation from the model in others, with petty few remaining who follow the NT model as demonstrated by Peter and the Book of Acts.

But, if the days of Noah serve as an indication of Jesus' return, how could any other time in history serve the purpose, before his birth?

Your method of baptism does not harmonise with the NT. Peter interpreted Jesus' words for us. You are not rejecting me or him, you are rejecting God's word.

But you reject Christ who used Peter and the NT Church to demonstrate all that he meant.

How can adding weapons not contribute to violence?

How is Violence not on topic when the topic is about a violent act?

How can I offer an opinion by quoting Peter and all of Acts on baptism?

It has everything to do with it. Today's world is full of violence. The question is, are you contributing to it? I'm not....

This is not an opinion, it is a fact based on Scripture.

You and the Catholics cannot use the New Testament to support your penchant for violence. Nor can you criticise them for sprinkling infants when neither of you understand and practice baptism as the Apostles did in Acts.

I do not think the technology in Noah's day produced the level of destruction we have today. Consider the World Wars, and the number of personal weapons that kill far more than spears, rocks and clubs ever could.

I can see "the days of Noah" where the earth was filled with violence happening in America. And to an extent around the world in the news. So I often wonder like the plethora of geezers in every generation before me if these aren't "signs of the …

This is nice, but the Book of Acts is the only "inspired" commentary we have on the NT. And they exclusively baptized believers by immersion in water in the name of Jesus Christ. Every other mode introduced by the Catholics, and embrac…
