    After talking about end times and signs of end times the bible literally says

    Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. (Matthew 24:34).

    Christians need to read their own book.

      Some evangelical sects believe that one of the apostles was transported to heaven without dying, so they believe that that generation has technically not passed away.

          You jest, but it do be like that. Everything from grape juice for the no-alcohol crowd to virginal births for the no-sex crowd to thinking they can manipulate current events to rush fulfillment of the prophecies to force Jesus to come back sooner for the 21st century Christian Pharisee crowd, there is a way to make it work.

          Shift it, twist it, ignore the parts they don’t want, and they can easily make that book say whatever they need it to say . . . and then make it say the exact opposite tomorrow, because they’re flexible linguistic contortionists that way.
