it's not allegory.. Christ and his apostles used it in the historical sense.. That story is not a parable of Jesus..

.

"This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance: That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Savior: Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men."(2 Peter 3:1-7)

Sound like allegory to you? It's not allegory.. The New Testament was written to Christians.. None of which will you ever hear say it's allegory.. Peter in those verses just told you it is not allegory.. "For this they willingly are ignorant of" .. What were they willing ignorant of? The FACT that the earth had been in great deluge in time past and perished and in like manner they deny and do not believe that this same world will also perish again, but in fire ..

.

One cannot be "willingly ignorant" of an allegory.. one is "willingly ignorant" of the truth! They don't want to accept and believe it.. It's called "denial"...

I thought the christian god was all loving, no ?!

Let me get this straight, so your all loving, all powerful, perfect god create a world and gave the people some rules to follow, but when some of them break the rules he is ready to take their life and send them to suffer in hell for an eternity ?

First if he is all knowing it means he knew before hand that some of the creatures he created will not follow the rules he set (a mistake from his part since he is the one who created us), so what is the use of this punishment if he can already tell who is gonna break the rules even before we re born, he might as well just send me directly to hell and save me a couple of years here on earth, which doesn't sound like a GOOD thing for me.

Second and most importantly how could he not fucking forgive them ? why did he have to drawn them ? I mean you, who is a mere mortal, will forgive your children even if they break some of the rules you set for them. But the all mighty god full of love and forgiveness can't forgive your innocent new born baby because his grand grand grand..... father ate a shiny red apple ?
