The main points of Christianity?

[Jenny A]

As I read the Gospels, and Paul for that matter, the second coming should have been about 60 to 90 A.D. (before the generation listening to Jesus died) and nothing like it has happened then or since. However, current Christians obviously don't read it that way, or there wouldn't be any current Christians. One of the many reasons there are so many sects of Christians is that there is no straight forward way to get around Luke 23:32-32:

So you also, when you see these things happening, recognize that the kingdom of God is near. "Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all things take place.

And Mark 9:1

Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.

So they all finagle their way around the problem differently.
