When did Jesus EVER suggeste that His use of THIS generation had to do with "the entire posterity of Father Abrham (sic)"? Never. The pont in not simply the word "generation" and its meaning. That is why I asked you about demonstrative pronouns. You ignore them. Jesus wasn't speaking about...

We are NOT in the last hour. John clearly placed that time in his day. He told his readers "Brethren, it IS the last hour." And it was. He didn't say "a last hour"--he said THE last hour. It coincides with the timing given by James when he wrote "the coming of the Lord is AT HAND" and the...

I am not the one twisting Jesus' words to mean something He never intended. "THIS generation" means the lifetime of those disciples right there with Him. That is how Jesus ALWAYS used that expression. Again, your problem is with what HE clearly stated.

Where does Scripture state that the "time of this age" will be fulfilled? Where does it state that the world will be "finished"? There is no "end of the world." The Scripture state "end of the age." The Jews knew of two ages: The Mosaic Age (Old Covenant) and the Messianic Age (New Covenant)...

All of that happened at His Parousia in A. D. 70.--which was the event THEY waited for. They had been sealed by the Holy Spirit of promise until that time. That was the time Jesus told His disciples to look for--when they were to lift up their eyes because THEN their SALVATION (full restoration)...

You misunderstand the nature of His coming and, therefore, you stumble unnecessarily over that which is plain and clear. The resurrection of 1 Corinthians 15 and the gathering together of 1 Thessalonians 4 happened to those of THAT day. Paul included himself and his fellow believers in that...

How many U. S. Civil Wars were there, PinSeeker? How many American Revolationary Wars happened? How many Second World Wars? There are only ONE of each of those--each unique with their own participants and their own battles. There was only one THIS GENERATION who was to live through all of...

I dare her. She's a Roman Catholic and couldn't find her way out of a paper bag with biblical truth. I say again--the "day and the hour" were part of the Generation of those disicples right there with Jesus on the Mount of Olives. Jesus said so. Your problem is not with me; it is with Him!

"Where in the New Testament can we find a generation limited only to the people alive at the time of Christ?" Matthew 11:16 THIS generation Matthew 12:41 and 42 and 45 THIS generation Matthew 23:36 THIS generation Matthew 24:34 THIS generation Mark 8:12 THIS generation Mark 8:38 THIS generation...

I totally agree with your assessment of the SDS ailment of many of today's churches (Scofield Derangement Syndrome). It is a very dangerous, unbiblical doctrine that drives our foreign pollicy and puts every American at risk from the zionism that leads to war and death. I have to ask, though...

The end of the AGE. That is the word in the Greek (aion not kosmos).

I know the "day and the hour" of Christ's return--or at least the time frame of them. The "day and hour" occurrred in the GENERATION Jesus predicted--the generation of those very disciples standing right there with Him. That "day and hour" came in A. D. 70 with the destruction of Jerusalem and...

rebuilder, I am finished with your ignoring what I post and then bringing up something else. DEAL with the many "THIS generation" passages and THEN I might entertain your subsequent false accusations--AFTER you provide the CONTEXT of Luke 21. Do you understand what CONTEXT means, rebuilder. I...

A child can understand the meaning of THIS. When his mother comes into his room and declares: "Look at THIS mess," he knows that she means the mess right there in front of them. It is THAT mess and THAT mess only that is in view. It's not about a mess he might make the following week. It is...

Jesus used the expression "this generation" 19 times. A good student of God's Word would have looked them up. If he had bothered, he would have seen that Jesus always meant His contemporaries when He used that phrase--always. Since you apparently didn't find it profitable to study them, I will...

I can't respond without the scriptural support for your assertions. Let's study the Word--in its context. Thanks.

PinSeeker, Jesus used the expression "this generation" 19 times. Look up the following: PinSeeker, Jesus used the expression "this generation" 19 times. In all of them, He meant His contemporaries. This simple expression is only confused out of necessitey by those who do not like what it...

We are NOT the "this generation." Jesus made it clear when speaking to those disciples right there with Him that He was returning to THEM in THEIR generation (Mat. 24; Mark 13; Luke 21). There are approximately 20 YEs in Matthew 24:1-34. WE are NOT the YE--they were.

It is true that "None of the Disciples expected the return of Jesus to be over 2000 yrs in the future." Why would they? Their Lord and Savior and His apostles and inspired writers placed His return in their lifetime--in their generation. So close was His return to them, that John referred to it...
