  • You need the context of what he said before that. He wasn’t talking about his return he was talking about specific signs.

    The problem with a lot of the Bible is that it is too easy to misinterpret. Its why biblical scholars exist.

    Hell so much of it even requires historical context.

    But for this specifically you jumped to the end of a long speech Jesus gave and ignored the body of it. And I don’t blame you. It’s easy to get lost in such a dull and antiquated collection of books.

    It’s why Young Earth Creationists think there are references to dinosaurs in the Old Testament. Lack of paying attention to a hard to follow text

    But yes he was talking about the rise of Christianity and specific things that would come with it. Not his second coming.





  • It does make sense considering every pastor in the South is somehow utterly convinced that those not in his congregation haven’t heard the good news.

    One time a Jehova’s Witness tried to convert me by slowly explaining the concept of God like it was this completely alien concept.

    I do not want to be an atheist, I wish God was as self evident as these people claim. Eternal life in Paradise, knowing my deceased loved ones are just waiting to show me around the greatest resort in the omniverse because my own ticket is just a heart beat away.

    However physicialism as depressing and unsatisfying as it is seems to be the way things work whether I like it or not. And believe you me. I don’t like it.

    I truly wish the Christians were right and behind the scenes is an all powerful being who genuinely loves me and wants to forgive me of all I’ve done wrong.

    But if he’s out there I cannot find him.
