Christians Help Me Answer This Question by mrvitalis(m): 9:11am On Nov 13, 2016 |
Reading through Matthew 24 the 12 flowers of jesus asked him of the signs that will happen before his glorious coming.. Then he gave the signs and as it got to vs 34 '' ' he said verily i say unto u this generation will not pass before this things come to pass '' The generation has passed and he didn't come dose that mean he lied?? |

mrvitalis: It is bad enough to use incomplete words like "u" when writing, not to talk of quoting the Bible. Anyway, Jesus carefully intertwined the events that will happen just before the end of the world with the ones to happen just before the destruction of Jerusalem. In essence, Jesus, in Matt. 24, accurately predicted what will happen just before the destruction of Jerusalem, but at the same time the prophecy contains events that will culminate in the end of the world. That was the reason why He said that those things would be fulfilled before that generation passes away. 2 Likes |

mrvitalis: If I can prove to you that Jesus intertwined the events that will happen before the destruction of Jerusalem with those that will happen before the end of the world, will you start believing the Bible again? 1 Like |

mrvitalis: In Matt. 24:2, Jesus explicitly said that the temple will be destroyed. In verse 3, His disciples open the question with "Tell us, when shall these things be?" Then they further ask "and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?" The disciples thought that the destruction of Jerusalem must surely be a sign of the end of the world. They considered the magnificence of the temple(verse 1), and concluded that its destruction must be apocalyptic. Jesus begins His answer with a rundown of events to take place before His second coming. He connects it with the events that will lead to the destruction of Jerusalem in verse 15. He advises those in Judaea to flee when they see these signs, for great destruction will follow them(verse 15-20). He switches again to the events that will lead to the end of the world in verse 21. He specifically mentioned a tribulation that was to come, and some things to happen after it. 2 Likes |

Jesus told His disciples to flee Judaea as soon as they see the abomination of desolation standing in the Holy Place. Follow this link to find out what the abomination of desolation is. Of course, we know that the temple in Jerusalem was destroyed in 70 AD, well before that generation could pass away(verse 34). And not a single Christian died in that massacre. They left Judaea immediately they saw the signs Jesus told them. The tribulation which Jesus spoke about in verse 29, together with the signs to follow it, is another topic which I can't treat now. Maybe later. 2 Likes |

Re: Christians Help Me Answer This Question by DoctorAlien(m): 11:10am On Nov 13, 2016 |
mrvitalis: And your question is ignorant. Jesus was crucified in 31 AD. Stephen was stoned in 34 AD. 70 AD is well within that generation. Bye. 1 Like |

DoctorAlien:lol Seriously am happier as a realist... U see evidence and still believe what u want all in the name to prove religion. .. its foolishness So what about the saying that says some of u will not see death before the son of man cometh again |
Re: Christians Help Me Answer This Question by DoctorAlien(m): 11:20am On Nov 13, 2016 |
mrvitalis: I see evidence of what? The bolded above: is that how you realists add words to the Bible just to prove yourselves right? |
