Millions of bright people go to seminary to study and learn and question. In addition, the
"Popish Councils of Nice and Laodicea, about 350 years after the time the person called Jesus Christ is said to have lived, voted the books that now compose what is called the New Testament to be the Word of God." Patrick Henry
I do not know the answer, but, I would research it, for there is a good reason these words were allowed to be included. It was a conscious, reason based, man-made, choice.
There is likely no one on this site who will answer this. This is not a religious site. I suggest, if you truly want to debate this, go to someone knowledgeable.

You say the verses are easy to understand. ok. I agree, then what is your question supposed to mean. If you understand it, then why ask if it will demoish the question faith? Then you say your question is direct. WOWOW. Yes, your question is very direct, but not sure why you asked it if you felt those two verses were easy to understand. Because it surely in know way does anything to take away from the Christian faith. It adds to it. The Son of man will come. JESUS. And yes He will come with Angels, in the glory of His father. GOD. And, yes we will all be rewarded according to what we have done for God. Then God says some will not taste of death, till they see the Som of man coming in his kingdom. Yes Jesus will come. and many will not ever taste of human death, as Jesus will come for His true people and rapture us home. But, some Christians will die before Jesus comes, and still go to Heaven. Many on this earth will not go to heaven. ANd, when Jesus does come, not all will go with Him. Many will be left to face the great tribulation. Read all about it in the Bible, it is interesting. Did you ever see the Left Behind series. /?? It is FAIRLY accurate. The ones left here will have another chance to deceide, and Jeus will come one last time. And, those chosing God will still go to Heaven. Read the BOOK, its all there. And certainly these verses do not take away from Christianity. They only tell you what is coming. Be ready. I hope I answered your question, but honestly I still dont know why you asked it, since you said you understood those two verses. HMMMM? God bless you.

How often people take Scripture out of its context. when Reading the Bible one should understand the Style in this case Matthews of writing, also the entire paragraph and the entire Book and then the entire Bible.
In this Scripture Jesus had just told the apostle of his impending doom as it were. Then Peter said, God forbid Lord! No such thing shall happen to you but Jesus is about his Fathers business for He knew his passion had to come to past. So He told Peter to get behind him because in Peters' mind he wanted to prevent that from taking place. Jesus said, "you are thinking not as God does, but as a human would. "Now, Your passages are a foretelling of events that take place after His Resurrection, when Jesus returns to mans kingdom (the world) they will now know that he was actually the Christ and the death they encounter is a spiritual death due to their unbelief.

The "kingdom" is referring to the church. The church was established at a time when some of those Jesus spoke to were still alive. This is recorded in Acts 2.
It CANNOT be referring to the "rapture" of believers as Jesus clearly said that some "standing there" at that very moment would still be alive ("not taste death") when the kingdom came. None of them are alive today.

No this describes the Rapture of the believers..
Read below...
1Thes 4:16-17 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

Jesus spoke of two separate but related events:
1) the end of the Jewish world ... Jersusalem and the Temple, in 70 AD, which some standing did indeed experience.
2) the end of the age, which is yet to come.
This is clear in light of the book of daniel and the book of revelation, which cover much of the same "ground".

No. "...the disciples saw their Master coming in his kingdom, when they were witnesses of his transfiguration, resurrection, and ascension, and the miraculous gifts of his Spirit conferred upon them; and lived to see Jerusalem, with the Jewish state, destroyed, and the gospel propagated through the greatest part of the then known world." (Source: Benson commentary on the bible). So they saw the beginning of His Kingdom's progress in the world. Later (about 3 centuries) the entire Roman empire accepted His Kingdom as the official religion under the Emperor Constantine. Christianity went from being the persecuted enemy of the Roman empire, to the de facto standard.

Not at all... if you read the whole chapter you will understand it's about giving up what we as humans want and follow the Lord.
Listen to the lyrics of this song.... it explains it easily and clearly:
