    Even Jesus, who is God, sorta, didn’t know when it would happen. He told his disciples he would return in their lifetime.

      He forgot to convert from God Time to mortal time. He was thinking they would live another couple dozen years or whatever, a thousand times as long as it took HimDadSelf to create the universe and speedrun evolution. Forgetting those the same kind of Days.

        The most common Christian apologetic is to say he was talking about the transfiguration. That fails because the language is clearly talking about his return. The early church clearly thought he was going to return in their lifetime. Also, the transfiguration a few days later. It’s weird to say “some of you will still be alive in a few days”

        Its literally what it says in the bible.

        There’s a lot of mental gymnastics Christians do to pretend this isn’t true, but that is transparent and pathetic.
