Originally posted by sonhouseSoon is a relative term. There is no specific time period given. So the meaning of "soon" is determined from the viewpoint of the speaker, not the time period you think is soon.
Prophecy of Sonhouse:
Your prophecies are all bullshyte.
Just like your 'end days bullshyte', which has been ending for 2000 years, which your JC said (well it was written 50 years later) that the ending is coming SOON, not 2000 years later, but someone with your gullibility index would never see that.

Originally posted by roigamI have never understood why people continue to ask such a dumb question.
Wouldn't it be wise to take advantage of it?
Originally posted by RJHindsThe bible wasn't referring to thousands of years unless you admit JC always used alliterative terms for things like "soon". It seems to me when he said soon he meant in a few, very few, years. But of course you are too brainwashed to believe otherwise.

Originally posted by roigamSo you get to cherry pick which bible passage you site. You wouldn't say to take Leviticus literally, kill your kids if they dis you and so forth, Christians don't have to abide by the OT. Except when they site a verse they think proves some esoteric point.
The end is coming according to God's time, not man's.
(2 Peter 3:8) However, do not let this escape your notice, beloved ones, that one day is with Jehovah as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day.
(Habakkuk 2:3) For the vision is yet for its appointed time, And it is rushing toward its end, and it will not lie. Even if it should delay, keep in e ...[text shortened]... ason.
It is still the day of goodwill toward man.

Originally posted by sonhouseWell, there were some things that did occur in just a few years. When Jesus said the wine was his blood and the bread was his body, he certainly did not mean that literally. It had a symbolic meaning. 😏

Originally posted by RJHindsIf you study Jesus' prophecies you can see that some referred to the 1st century but they also had fulfillment further in the future.

Originally posted by roigamBut the question didn't ask for self examination.
If you think about it, it is very reasonable.
For those who claim to be Christian, self examination is always good.
Originally posted by sonhouseSorry. The principles of the Hebrew Scriptures are as valid today as they were then.

JC said 'Soon' and I am sure he meant 'soon' as in a few years max, not this BULLSHYTE 2000 years ...[text shortened]... generation comes up with the 'end days' mythology, which strangely enough never seems to happen.
Originally posted by roigamI have no need to find a source of gold that I cannot posses. What use is a donkey that tells you where the gold is but then tells you you can't have it? All you get is an annoying donkey.
To whitehead:
I have found the source of all gold although I cannot possess it.
Have you?
