After the rapture failed to happen on Tuesday, many Christians are blaming it on the fact Donald Trump hasn't released a trove of documents relating to Jeffrey Epstein
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”
Even Jesus, who is God, sorta, didn’t know when it would happen. He told his disciples he would return in their lifetime.
Didn’t he technically return for a short bit?

From what I understand this is a common misconception

Would be funny if that’s what he meant
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.
Apparently it’s a guess of misinterpretation and he was talking about the destruction of Herod’s temple which happened in 70 AD
So, what got misinterpreted to turn “Herod’s temple will be destroyed” into
“Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.” ?
