But theists argue that time moves differently for a deity than it does for us. Therefore, a couple thousand years is nothing, could very well be perceived as soon, to an immortal.
Yes, they argue - but they don't read what's written. There's a collection of verses that all say the same thing, and it's summed up in this one:
For yet in a very little while, He who is coming will come, and will not delay. (Heb.10:37).
A very little while is not 1900+ years. Like Dr Ehrman said: "And this was to happen within Jesus' own generation."
People see what they want to see ... not what's really there.
"...and I saw clearly that men are not so far from the truth as they generally believe. Their greatest error is in searching for it where it is not, and in attaching it to forms, whereas they ought, on the contrary, to avoid form in order to dwell upon the essence."
