Please explain how you are right. Sounds like you're once again stretching biblical passages to mean what you want them to mean.

It's not just that passage, there are many more where Jesus specifically tells people that the end of the world and his second coming will occur in their lifetimes. In fact, Matthew 24 in its entirety is about Jesus making predictions about what will happen during the end times, and after that he says "This generation shall not pass from the earth until all these be fulfilled."

You've shown nothing you need to give explanations.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

Why? You don't.

I've written an article detailing these failed predictions on atheiststoday.com, go read it there.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.

What if the original texts were mistranslated, and the word "kingdom" was originally "pants"?
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

So the burden of proof on you to establish that Christ's Kingdom did not come as described before all of those men died.
An IMO simpler explanation is to consider "see." He didn't need to include that. He could have said "there are some standing here who shall not taste death till the Son of Man comes in His kingdom.” The literal reading of the passage was fulfilled in what John saw and recorded in Revelation. Some people consider it fulfilled in the transfiguration, which immediately follows the above verse.


Wow. You, Drippy and G-C should go out in the wilderness and start The Church of The Almighty Shitheads. With any luck you'll never come back.
