I'm terribly afraid that there may be no God and no life of the age to come

I reflected deeply on Matthew 16:28

Truly I tell you, there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom


and in all likelihood this confirms that Jesus, the Son of God, made the biggest prophecy of his entire ministry right there and it simply wasn't fulfilled. So where does that leave us? Pretty much nowhere, I think it could all be a big nothing and the church has been able to cover this up for 2000 years and camouflage this with a lot of mental gymnastics about the transfiguration and resurrection which don't make any sense at all and would be laughable if they weren't downright saddening.

So if this is all true I can only tell you lads that it's been an honor posting with you all.

The Bible was written by man. With errors and contradictions and failed prophecies all over it. The Bible is not God. This does not mean you can not have faith in the deity represented by the Tetragrammaton, if you’d like.

I’m a Christian even though I intellectually understand the scriptures are most likely a work of fiction. We can still pray to the God of Israel and hope it’s actually having some effect. I also still give to the church because they are doing good works in the community.

If the Bible has documented that the most important prophecy made by the son of God, a prophet with divine capacities, completely failed and nobody even cares, people perpetuate obvious lies to cover it up, then how could you still have any faith? it doesn't make any sense

"But concerning that day or that hour, no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father."

-Mark 13:32

Not even Jesus Himself knows whe he wil be coming back. But He will be old with a grey beard and a sword and his robe dipped in blood.

"He is clothed in a robe dipped in blood, and the name by which he is called is The Word of God."

-Revelation 19:13

these don't necessarily contradict  Matthew 16:28, this just says he doesn't know the exact date or hour, but he does know it will be within the lifetime of some of his disciples, the point being here that 2000 years later we can be assured that prophecy failed

Personal responsibility > religion crutch. I think it's likely there is no god, but I'm confident any supreme being would bear no resemblance to the horseshit peddled by the various religions.

Matthew 16:28 references the second death. There's also a mistranslation. It's more like.
"Hear when I say, those of you who stand tall before the son will not taste death, and will witness as the father delivers the kingdom of heaven to man."
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.

Jesus is real, the majority of those stories and scriptures in the bible, are NOT

Made up bullshit like chinese whispers they got diluted or completely changed and altered over the course of history either intentionally or accidentally.

This is a deeply ironic post. If not for those stories you wouldn't know about him

I just looked up a translation made by my favorite Theologian who is a hardcore believer and it goes like

"I am telling you the truth: there are some people standing here who will not die until they see the Son of Man coming in his Kingdom.”

So I think you're wrong. Unless you can demonstrate with the original text

I'm kinda feeling like this since yesterday. Told my wife about it this morning but I could tell she did not even come close to comprehending what I was talking about so I let it go.

It's a terrible timing to get struck with this lightning bolt of doom right at the dawn of my extended 4 day weekend. I feel completely depressed about the foresight of there being no second coming, no resurrection, no life eternal. We just got a few years left after which we'll drop dead and rot. Grim

Yep once you see it, you can’t unsee it. It took me about a month to deconstruct and then reconstruct into something more personally honest.

I'm still grasping at straws but it's not looking good.

Jesus is talking about the transfiguration which is mentioned right after this verse.

It's not even that confusing. Not sure why you're getting so rustled by this.

Jesus is saying some people here will see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom before they die.

And what happens in very next verse? Jesus brings Peter, James, John (some, not all) to the high mountain where they witness Jesus being transfigured into the spiritual kingdom through the holy spirit.

Matthew, Mark and John all report the transfiguration happening roughly a week after that verse. for a reason.

I just realised that you probably deny the transfiguration because it shows Jesus being called the son of God by the Father himself, proving they're equal in nature.

That explains why you're so confused and rustled by the verse. Interesting.

And yet you still have morals. You don't kill, cheat, steal.

Why don't you? In your words we're just a speck of dust on a larger speck of dust made by nothing with no meaning.

Yet you still live as though God as exists and fear the ramifications of sin.

Actually that knowledge makes me not follow laws and give a fuck less, like what’s even the point? Oh no you will die and lay in the ground and rot for millions of years after you got what 70 years on earth, and won’t be able to re connect with friends family etc,, ya fuck that.
