For the Son of Man is going to come in the glory (majesty, splendor) of His Father with His angels, and then He will render account and reward every man in accordance with what he has done.

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 Matthew 16 verses 27 to 28.

Christian apologist cs Lewis dubbed this as the most embarrassing verse in the bible.

Seeing that you have accepted your downfall on the concept of the cud grin.

I con tire for you oo, Jesus was simply giving an indication of future events. The concept of Generation is a classical concept. Psalm 24:6 speaks of the generation that seek Him.
Does that sound exclusively for a present generation?

Read the generation concept in other Scriptures (Matthew 24:22; Mark 13:20; Revelation 3:11; 22:7,12,20).

Matthew 26:64 also says:
"You have said so," Jesus replied. "But I say to all of you: From now on you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven."

Did they see him physically sitting at the right hand of God?? I know you are trying to fathom the intelligence in the world of Jesus. But chill, dont blow your brains out.

seriously . . . how more foolish can a group of people be? sad

to even insinuate that the bible contains scientific facts is an insult to both the bible and science. it's not by force to make your book seem relevant nah. you don't have to keep inventing things. you can just admit that the bible is logic-less and senseless and requires faith. not intellect.

Generation referred to the people at that time. Your argument is by far the poorest argument I have heard. Instead of accepting that an error was made you then resort to playing with the meanings o words. Generation refers to a lifetime.

So for 17 times in the gospel the word generation has always referred to the life of his contemporaries while for the single verse of his failed coming it does not. Makes sense.

Haba mana. The definite article "this" was even added
Re: How Did Genesis' Writer Gain Access To Such Accurate Scientific Information by urahara(m): 12:42pm On Nov 21, 2015
The use of “this” in the NT tells us that what’s being identified is near either in time or distance. By changing “this” to “the,” the entire meaning of the verse changes. Instead of a specific generation, it now reads as if it could be any generation. “This” is a near demonstrative, and as the name suggests points “to someone or something ‘near,’ in close proximity.”] Near demonstratives “appear as the singular word ‘this’ and its plural ‘these.’ The distant demonstratives, as their name suggests, appear as ‘that’ (singular), or ‘those’ (plural).” The near demonstrative “this” is used nearly 950 times in the NT, and it always refers “to something comparatively near at hand, just as ekeinos [that] refers to something comparatively farther away.”

U don't get my point. If you claim that your bible is inspired because it has so called "scientific facts" then Muslims also claim that their Koran has scientific facts and as a result is inspired. As a result everyone thinks that their book is inspired.

“Truly I say to you, all these things will come upon this
generation. ” (Matthew 23:36)
6. “Sighing deeply in His spirit, He said, “Why does this
generation seek for a sign? Truly I say to you, no sign will
be given to this generation.” ” (Mark 8:12)
7. “As the crowds were increasing, He began to say, “This
generation is a wicked generation; it seeks for a sign, and
yet no sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah. ” (Luke
11:29)

Mr winner why don't u then interpreted the generation as not referring to the people at that time

Whether they saw him at the right hand of God is what I should be asking you. I hope you are not trying to imply that it was not meant to be taken literally. So the darkening of the sun and moon were just figurative heh. See. Listen to me. If you keep on choosing the parts of the bible that are meant to be taken literally. How can any part ever be taken literally. This is the reason why you have so many denominations in christianity . With each of them claiming that so so so and so part was not meant to be taken literally and so so wasnt

Any religion can make their book look scientific . Take a look at this
http://www.missionislam.com/science/book.htm

By being an expert at taking things out of context you can make a book full of pseudo scientific crap look like a science text book to a brain washed religious fanatic

lol, so true.

and this is not applicable to only science. they use it every time to justify any action and explain any event. the bible has been used to support the most mudane things. like slavery and mass genocide. it can also be used to condemn these things. what sort of ridiculous book is that?

Genesis tells us that there is water above sky. As in, it tells us that the sky is like a solid canopy with water above it. I don't think that your definition of science is in line with the general definition of it.
Rain falls ontop your head, shouldn't commonsense tell you that the water is coming from somewhere? Just like when shit comes out of your yansh, won't you know by experience that shit is inside the body? Mtchew!!

This comment is unbelievably obtuse.

Rain comes from condensation of water vapour in the lower atmosphere. It's incredibly sad that you think it comes from the sky.
