Most people would dismiss those sections as being 'related to the times' and then start to pick the pieces that still apply. Well, if humans are allowed to decide what is still the word of god and what isn't, then it isn't the bible you believe. But you. |
Someone posted this elsewhere:
In MT 16:28, MK 9:1, LK 9:27 Jesus says that some of his listeners will not taste death before he comes again in his kingdom. This was said almost 2000 years ago. This and many other passages indicate that Jesus was to come again in a relatively short period of time and not just "quickly" as present day Biblicists assert. All of his contemporaries are now long dead, yet Jesus has not come again in his kingdom. All of the alleged words of Jesus recorded in the Bible are therefore suspect.
Since then various Xian cults have predicted innumerable dates for the Rapture/Second Coming, all of which have come and gone. It's a real life Waiting for Godot.
Just how many times does something have to be canceled before you finally wake up to the reality that it's not coming???
