However, the bible, in all of it's forms, is open to wild degrees of interpretation and christians are not of one belief/sect!What I said isn't debatable, I said the scripture you referenced does not specify any certain time period, YOU claimed it did... You can't debate something that is uncertain, and there is no way to interpret that scripture in a way where it is specifying a certain time.
We are not discussing a dictionary but your preferred poorly written fantasy story. It is relevant in this case because it's the christians position the content of the book is of god and not fantasy. Back at ya, prove it.
If I speak to another christian and get different answer, then yours only becomes opinion (not truth?). Again, why would an ultimate god let it's words devolve into confusion, debate and discord? Answer, it would not. This is a fantasy story written by men.
If it is your position that that a certain time is specified, then show me where it is.
Furthermore there is no Christian anywhere that will argue that particular scripture states Jesus's second coming was supposed to have happened 2000 years ago.
"Furthermore there is no Christian anywhere that will argue that particular scripture states Jesus's second coming was supposed to have happened 2000 years ago."
So Revelation 1:7 (ERV) is BS. = "7 Look, Jesus is coming with the clouds! Everyone will see him, even those who pierced him. All peoples of the earth will cry loudly because of him. Yes, this will happen! Amen."
