Wasn't Jesus supposed to return during his friends lifetime?

Question

What happened? I think that explains why nothing was written about him until 40 years after he supposedly died. They wrote nothing because he promised them he would return.

Answer 1

Jesus is a myth, nothing more.
Emperor Constantine not only created him, but got him a literary apotheosis at the Council of Nicea in 325 (ad).
In fact, most of the myths and legends associated with this fictional character were plagerized from a man named Appolonius of Tyana, someone who, unlike Jesus, actually lived.

Answer 2

I think it's very clear.


Mar 13:23 But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.


Mar 13:24 ¶ But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,


Mar 13:25 And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.


Mar 13:26 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.


Mar 13:27 And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.


Mar 13:28 ¶ Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near:


Mar 13:29 So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, [even] at the doors.


Mar 13:30 Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done.

there's a tremendously warm debate in this - it truly is been going for approximately 2 millenia. many of the "this era" communicate takes one in each of three guidelines: a million. Jesus develop into incorrect. maximum Christians reject this. 2. Jesus develop into proper, and his return develop into with the sack of Jerusalem in advert 70. the main severe view of it is stated as preterism or chiliasm. much less severe are people who have faith that at an identical time as Jesus did return in advert 70, that there remains an exceptionally final return again. 3. Jesus develop into pertaining to each era, such because of the fact the present one, or a era subtly implied contained in the text cloth which will in certainty be the present era. it is the place you will locate maximum of those contained in the dispensationalist end of the pool. an significant be conscious: for many Christians, this could be a section concern. all of us agree that our habit would desire to stay the comparable inspite of whether or no longer Jesus is estimated any 2d, already arrived or departed, or isn't predicted for a protracted time. desire this permits! Grace & Peace.

Answer 4

The Bible declares that he would return like a thief in the night, That no ones know except the Father when Jesus will return. So that means that Jesus doesn't even know.

Answer 5

I know what you are referencing and you are misinterpreting the passage. He was making all kinds of seemingly end times prophesy, but it turns out that all his prophesy was fulfilled by the Roman empire when they came and destroyed Jerusalem. He was not referring to His second coming.

Answer 6

Jesus told about the season of the time he would return. No, he wasn't "supposed" to return during his "friends" lifetime........You're ignorance is showing.

Answer 7

Misinterpretation, try reading it again, and read the entire passage this time, not just one sentence.

Answer 8

Do you have a reference or do you just make this stuff up as you go?

Answer 9

You could be closer to the truth than you can imagine

Answer 10

He came back already. You must have missed it.
