    Again, Matthew 16:28 "you are Peter (Gr Petros). Petros meaning rock or stone in Greek. Petra meaning foundational stone. Two different words and two different meanings. Why did Yeshua do this? To fulfill Isaiah 22:15-16, whereas the new steward (head of house of the royal household)...

    Question for Christians and those Who Believe in a Personal God

    I didn't say your certainty implied you were wrong, I said that it did not necessarily imply that you were right. What prophecies in the bible do you think were fulfilled? And how do you explain the unfulfilled biblical prophecies, especially the major ones like Matthew 10:23, Matthew 16:28, and...

    how do you feel when threatened with Hell?

    Lol, that "king" also said he'd come back within the lifetimes of his disciples (Matthew 10:23, Matthew 16:28, and Matthew 24:34, among many other verses) and obviously that never happened. He'll also most likely be forgotten forever in a few thousand years or so, if not a few hundred. Isn't it...

    Jesus' Failed Second Coming Prophecy and What this Means for Christianity

    Transfiguration passages are at Mark 9: 2-13, Matthew 17:1-13, Luke 9: 28-36. These are all after straight after the equivalent passages which are misinterpreted to mean to Jesus would return within the lifetime of those standing there. Mark 9:1 And he said to them, “Truly I tell you, some who...

    Jesus' Failed Second Coming Prophecy and What this Means for Christianity

    Mark 9: 9 And he said to them, “Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God after it has come with power.” 2 And after six days Jesus took with him Peter and James and John, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. And he...

    Jesus' Failed Second Coming Prophecy and What this Means for Christianity

    That's not what He said. Matthew 10:23: Jesus is talking to two different groups of disciples, the ones standing before Him in the fist century, and the Christians at the end of time. Our time this is related to: "And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony...

    Jesus' Failed Second Coming Prophecy and What this Means for Christianity

    His spirit did come back. But its true Jesus did say he would return be that he didn't know when.

    Jesus' Failed Second Coming Prophecy and What this Means for Christianity

    I think Jesus was talking about the destruction of Jerusalem, the spirit of truth and some future return. Warning his apostles to get out of Jerusalem without second thoughts when they saw trouble coming was prudent. The destruction of Jerusalem did in fact happen in that generation. I also...

    Jesus' Failed Second Coming Prophecy and What this Means for Christianity

    But Jesus said he would come back within his disciples' lifetimes. What event do you think Jesus is referring to in Matthew 10:23, Matthew 24:34, and Matthew 16:28 then? The only way that these prophecies could have come true is if stars fell from the heavens to the earth and the elect were...

    Jesus' Failed Second Coming Prophecy and What this Means for Christianity

    No, I definitely don't think everything recorded in the bible is a completely, word for word, exact recollection of what happened. But when it is repeated in the Bible so many times it's quite clear that the end of the world was in fact expected by Jesus' followers, as well as Jesus himself...

    Jesus' Failed Second Coming Prophecy and What this Means for Christianity

    Actually, the transfiguration only occurs after Matthew 16:28, not after the other passages. It's a huge stretch to argue that Matthew 16:28 refers to the transfiguration, especially since the preceding verse describes him "coming in his father's glory with his angels to repay everyone according...

    Luke 9:27; Mark 9:1 is in connection to the transfiguration VISION - Matthew 17:9 " tell the VISION to no one........" Sure, just like back in the first century we today would Not complete or stop preaching til Jesus' coming Glory Time of Matt. 25:31-34 Before Jesus' resurrection (Pentecost)...

    What if the lives are still here? What power? Not even jesus was a king. Is it possible He was talking about another, not himself? There was no christian community during jesus' time.

    You'll have noticed that Luke 19:11 contradicts Luke 9:27: Luke 9:27 But I tell you truly, there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God. As well as Mark: Mark 9:1 And he said to them, “Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not...

    And there were some standing there who did see Jesus/the Son of Man in His kingdom… Now after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, led them up on a high mountain by themselves; 2 and He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as...

    Let the words do the talking. Mark 9:1 And he said to them, “Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see that the kingdom of God has come with power.” Matthew 10:23When you are persecuted in one place, flee to another. Truly I tell you, you will...

    There is no evidence for God, so why do you believe?

    No, science doesn't say there is no God. Evolution is not frontier science. Abiogenesis will not include spirits because that isn't a real thing. Depends on the prophecy. Many were written after the fact. Do you buy the prophecies in the Quran or were they possibly written after the fact...

    Is It Reasonable to Believe Gods Don't Exist?

    I set some of them out in an earlier post. It's a simple fact. Show me I'm wrong by referring me to a contemporary account, That's reasonable ─ prophecy isn't true, after all. I may have remarked this to you earlier, but two factors which date Mark to 75 CE or later are (a) the author of Mark...

    Is It Reasonable to Believe Gods Don't Exist?

    Where are these contradictions that you claim exist between the accounts? A problem with the skeptical claim of no contemporary account of the resurrection is that this is what it is, a skeptic claim. It is based on the idea that prophecy is not true and so the writing of the gospel accounts is...
