Clearly the thought experiment is a little too much to take. Imagine living in the year 10,000 CE and Christ has not returned for each of the millennium anniversaries. That has got to hurt!
Ask Buddha, maybe he was reincarnated.
He's dead. Happened 2,500 years ago. Didn't you get the memo?

All the verses that were posted have to be held to this one positive statement. A statement that is short and simple with no room for contradiction.Not knowing the hour does not mean that the hour cannot be "imminent". So if it was so "imminent" why didn't it happen?
Quote:There are some prophecies that are being fulfilled at this time and the time remaining is short.Yes, I've read Timothy Dailey's "Apocalypse Rising". The prophecies are not being fulfilled. All he has done and all others do is take obscure passages from the bible and interprets them to fit the events occurring today. One could have done that in the year 1,000 CE and still found events that match the biblical passages. And still he has not returned.
Quote:You have asked a question that has only one answer for those who would live in those times and it would be yes. No need to worry about it, this world will not be here then. There is another verse that says the generation in which Christ will return will know He is coming, they will not know the day or the hour, they will know it will be soon. Those who have predicted the day of His return have gone against what the Bible teaches, I'm assuming they are glory hounds seeking attention because they can't get it any other way.

So, yes, you would give up being a xtian if he has not returned in the year 10,000 CE? What's your tolerance limit? 100,000 CE?

Stories like this are more coherent, concise, better written and have an actual clear point to it, with a proper moral, more than anything in the entire stupid fucking Bible.
That was how the Greek gods were seen. The stories always have a moral to them or give an example some ethical or moral point.
