You can't tell by that little bit. It could have very easily been a poetic description of days of old.
Since we know there was no flood you are left with a few possibilities.
Jesus was a man and did not know any better.
This seems to me to be the best answer.
Jesus was the Son of God and was being poetic.
This to me seems to be the only reasonable theological explanation.
Jesus was the Son of God and was being dishonest. This seems to me to be totally unrealistic.
Once again, merely a poetic description of how man has not changed if you read it in context. No real implication that Jesus believed in the existence of Noah.
You need to do better than that.
Noah was the son of Lamech. Lamech was the son of Methu'selah. Methu'selah was the son of Enoch. Enoch was the son of Jared. Jared was the son of Ma-hal'alel. Ma-hal'alel was the son of Kenan. Kenan was the son of Enosh. Enosh was the son of Seth. Seth was the son of Adam.
Peter was the chief apostle. Did Peter believe Noah was a real person?
Those passages are not poetic and "in context", they are speaking of the real event of Jesus' return. So if you read it in context, it is speaking of real people and real events, past and future.
I disagree.And no, it is not a case of everyone being out of step but me.
That's not what the Bible says.... the mustard seed was the smallest seed ...
I disagree.
What happened to the Hebrews passage I quoted?
You didn't comment on that.
That's not what the Bible says.
Noah is a character in a book of myth. It does not really matter who his mythological parents were.
Peter was largely uneducated too and his belief in Noah would have very little to do with his acceptance of Christ.
You keep forgetting the challenge. It was show a reason to believe that Jesus believed in Noah.
Or you could always ask how scientists know that the flood is a myth.
Peter was taught by God. In his second letter, he blasted the deniers of the flood.
No. Where do you come up with such nonsense? And even if he was taught by God that does not mean that he is free of error.
Once again you should be asking how we know that there was no flood.
Read the Bible. Peter said scoffers would come denying the flood.
I don't care what Pete said. It was not scoffers that first proved that there was no flood. Now if uneducated people keep pushing a myth without paying attention to the many many pieces of evidence against that myth and act "holier than thou" in the process you cannot blame them if some scoffing results.
Perhaps Peter new the flood was a myth and he was trying to keep the myth alive. Once again, he was human and apt to fail when his own prejudices got involved.
The book that wants you to believe it is true says that people will come who doubt it? No way!
He said we should remember the predictions of the Lord Jesus. Scoffers will come denying the flood.
So Jesus believed in the flood.
Sorry, that would be a logic fail on your part.
Again, Pete was a man. Men can make errors. You should try to learn about the evidence that says there was no flood.
He said we should remember the Lord's predictions, that men will deny the ancient Scriptures. There's no logical fail on my part. Jesus believed the Scriptures. He believed in Noah and the flood.
Disproving the "ancient scriptures" is not denying them. So that is a failed prophecy.
Yes, Petey believed in Noah and the flood. If Jesus believed in them then you are saying that he was just a man. That is fine with me.
So did Jesus believe in the Flood?
Are you sure that you want to claim that Jesus was just a man like you and me?
