Bible prophecies

[Cinjin]

Nope. I'm saying that the generation Jesus was speaking to is not the generation He was speaking of. To fit your analogy to your argument, the crowd He'd be speaking to would be reflected by the content of the speech. In this case the content is defined as the characteristics of the fish He was describing (speckled green). So according to your argument the crowd would all have to be fish, and speckled green. To fit my argument He'd be speaking to a crowd about a fish and the crowd would not be reflected by the content of the speech (they wouldn't be fish, or speckled green). Your analogy actually supports my argument.

Furthermore, it happens all the time in normal conversation that the person we are speaking to is not the person we are speaking about.

Ok, I'm not going to bother with the fact that you completely missed the point or that your response is an apologist's attempt at misdirection. Instead I'll go with what your Bible says and see where we get.

Matthew 16:27, 28
“For the Son of Man is going to come in the glory of His Father with His angels,
and will then repay every man according to his deeds. Truly I say to you, there
are some of those who are standing here who will not taste deathuntil they see
the Son of Man coming in His kingdom.“

Matthew 24:32-34
[i]Now learn the parable from the fig tree: when its branch has already become
tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near; so, you too,
when you see all these things, recognize that He is near, right at the door.
Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place.“ [/i]

Mark 13:29-30
Even so, you too, when you see these things happening, recognize that He is near,
right at the door. Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place…“

Hebrews 1:1-2
“Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers
by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son…”

1 Corinthians 10:11
“Now these things happened to them as an example, but they were written
down for our instruction, on whom the end of the ages has come.”

1 John 2:18
“Children, it is the last hour, and as you have heard that antichrist is coming,
so now many antichrists have come. Therefore we know that it is the last hour.”

Revelation 22:6,7,10,12,20
“And he said to me, “These words are faithful and true”; and the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, sent His angel to show to His bond-servants the things which must soon take place. “And behold, I am coming quickly. Blessed is he who heeds the words of the prophecy of this book.” And he said to me, “Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is near. Behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to render to every man according to what he has done. He who testifies to these things says, “Yes, I am coming quickly.“”…


Notice that Jesus didn’t say “that generation” – which would be the normal way of referring to a future generation. He said “this generation”.
Jesus said that some of his listeners (and the high priest at his trial) would still be alive to see his return to Earth.

So tell me you filthy apologist, what evidence do you have that contradicts your own Bible?

Because right now this is all you've got ...



Now bring some evidence for your claims or shut the fuck up because your Bible doesn't support your unsubstantiated rationalizations simply because you say it does. Rather the polar opposite.
