Exactly, he could not produce the verse because it does not exist.
There is no explicit verse where Christ says “this generation” means an unnamed generation 1,900 years later.
Not even just "in the future". Not even that to hold onto for an argument.
Nothing.
See the danger is that once the system becomes the lens, absence of textual support starts getting treated as proof that everyone else simply “doesn’t understand.”
It’s like:
Dude, just chill for a second. Please listen to me.
Princess Leia was never married to Yoda or Chewbacca.
It’s not in the six films.
It’s not in the books.
George Lucas never said it.
“YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND LUCAS! OUR ENTIRE SYSTEM IS BUILT ON LEIA BEING MARRIED TO YODA AND CHEWBACCA AT TWO DIFFERENT TIME PERIODS!!!”
I know, dude. I know. But it’s just not in there.
“I’M BLOCKING YOU!!!”
And back under the veil they go..
