Of course, if I had to explain away such an embarrassment, I too might have resorted to writing a verse similar to 2 Peter's. Propagandists, after all, have to be flexible to forestall a wholesale exodus of believers when things don't pan out. The verse in 2 Peter is perfectly understandable, even unobjectionable given the culture, times, and audience for whom it was written.Its also in Psalm 90:4. Kinda blows your theory apart.
But to see 21st Century people using it as a crutch to avoid acknowledging that one of the central hopes and beliefs of the early Christian community was a false prophecy is shameful and beyond pathetic.

Recap - A moral question for theists
|
 
Whoever wrote Psalm 90:4 wasn't dealing with a patently false prophecy that required shoring up. It's not exactly news that NT books echo OT books. It's the historical context that matters.

Also if you look at the bible you so called christians he was supposed to return in those times not the modern times.
Even the bibles writers were embarrassed that their savior didn't show up at all.

When you quote scripture here it tends to shut the atheist down from 'thinking' and has them just parrot chiche'd arguments they know go with certain scripture. oh, look Cross gave a great example of this. That's why I try the Mr. Magi approach. I get them to wax on right hand wax off left hand/fruit fly, which tends to distract them long enough to learn a biblical precept like your passage in 2 peter, despite their best efforts to keep their minds walled off. |
