The two verses are rightly in two separate paragraphs in the manuscripts, and better yet later divided into two separate chapters. Clearly to the disciples, writers of the Bible and Bible scholars who printed the Bible and did the chapter and verses, they are clearly separate events. Lumping them together would confuse only you. Every normal Bible student knows and understands the passage. Check up most Bible versions, you should see the same division. There's something we call "rightly dividing" the Bible. Scriptures are not of private interpretation.

LMFAO! If I was the one who did something like this you'd be screaming that I am taking things out of context. LoLz

Lemme register my mirth. Bwahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Dangerousboy:
my God is not an hypocrite, you are the hypocrite. Your trying to be smart. My message was expository and explanatory but you chose the way of hypocrisy. May God help you

LMFAO! It's not my fault, its there in your bible. Jealousy is a work of the flesh and those that do it shall not enter the kingdom of god except the god himself who is a jealous god. Bwahahahahahahaha!

livingchrist:
@ bolded because the transfiguration represent "christ coming in his kingdom"
Transfiguration represent what would happen in the future when Christ come in his kingdom

How can those verses be referring to the transfiguration when he says he will come with angels, there were no angels at the transfiguration.

livingchrist:
It was a mix up
I presume you are talking about mathew 16 28
Which is a reference to his transfiguration.
The appearance of Christ in the transfiguration is the appearance that Christ will take at his coming.

Matthew 24:27
For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

Matthew 28:3
His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:

27 For the Son of Man shall come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He shall reward every man according to his works.

28 Verily I say unto you, there are some standing here who shall not taste of death till they see the Son of Man coming in His Kingdom.”

So how can it be the case that the transfiguration was what he was referring to if he says he is coming with angels and will be distributing rewards?

Image123:
To/For His kingdom, not IN His kingdom. This was a promise clearly made much after the Transfiguration in John 14 up till Revelation. Transfiguration was just a glimpse as He promised them.

Mat 13:41 KJV The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;

27 For the Son of Man shall come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He shall reward every man according to his works.

28 Verily I say unto you, there are some standing here who shall not taste of death till they see the Son of Man coming in His Kingdom.”

So how can it be the case that the transfiguration was what he was referring to if he says he is coming with angels and will be distributing rewards?

But ivermectin does work though..

If anything he took it with vitamin c, zinc, and vitamins d.. Which are cheap supplements

He took monoclonal antibodies, it's expensive and not generally available. That's what Trump took.

livingchrist:
It is the generation that would experience the great tribulation that Jesus is talking about.

He purportedly said "standing here" so what other generation could it be, which other generation was standing there?

Image123:
Very correct, "kingdom" is another word for "royal power". So it's probably easier for you to read the Son of man coming in His royal power. He's not coming TO or FOR His kingdom, the verse talks about Him coming IN His kingdom. Coming in HIS power or splendor like Luke probably better puts it for you. And as Peter puts it when he calls Him a more sure Word, eyewitnesses of his majesty, honour and glory.
The transfiguration was a totally different picture of the Son of man that they knew from Galilee. They saw Him come in His true majesty, that was the essence of the whole transfiguration, duh.

So if he has come in his royal power then what coming are you waiting for again?

jamesid29:
I'm pretty sure you know the difference between using humor to poke fun at an "idea" and mocking a "person".

If mocking people you disagree with is always your go to move, then that says more about you than about them.

Anyways,it is well

I mocked his story not his person. You should learn how to distinguish that.

Image123:
They saw Him transfigured in the next chapter, duh

So that was him coming in his kingdom? Just a show of special effects and some dead guys? I guess Tupac has come in his kingdom as well because they did the same with him and even a whole lot more than 3 people saw it. LoL.

Also why are you still waiting for him to come if that was the so called 2nd coming? He has come and gone by your own words.

jamesid29:
It's fascinating that almost everyone on this thread disagrees with the OP but they all disgreed without being condescending to the OP and some were even respectful.

But for some reason you think, it's all good to use mockery and condescension to express your disagreement with OP's "religious expression". What gain is there to derive by trying to mock someone who you most likely have never interacted with before?(atleast it's understandable if it's someone you have a history with)

It is well.

If anyone that I know personally told me this I will laugh at them just I have done here and also point out just how implausible it all is. My laughter or mocking has nothing to do with how distant we are. If possible I'd meet Franzinni for a drink and still laugh in his face at how absurd his story is, the drinks would make it even more jolly. LoL

We use satire and parody to mock ideas all the time so what is special about mine?

TenQ:
Jealousy comes from LOVE!
Except God can force you to love Him back which will betray the fact that He doesn't truely love. God wouldn't force a reciprocal action of love.

Do you disagree with this?

Gal. 5
19Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, 20idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, 21envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

I guess your god is a hypocrite.

Image123:
Fortunately, we don't have to base our lives on this silly probabilities. We have a more sure Word of prophecy.

Just like how "some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom” became 2000years. Really sure. LMFAO!

ICEWIN:
Is God biaz?
am confuse how some people merit why some dont in there entire life

It's more likely no god is orchestrating what happens to anyone that's why things are the way they are. If there is a god then the god is capricious and so cannot be expected to be fair.

ademasta:
No! But I think what the Op meant is the fact that it is generally acceptable all over the world. And I think that's what the Bible meant by saying "all the nations shall use one currency".

Where is that written in the Bible?

Elliot2:
The Antichrist has already been revealed. But because God has sent a strong delusion to the world because we hate the truth about Him, many now lack wisdom, and therefore has believed the great lie.

Who is the Antichrist?

hupernikao:
But I did earlier. And you read it.

When one say

It is a sin to sleep with your friends wife.

This isn't referring to religion. This refers to a fact of life. In our culture it is a wrong thing. And people use the word sin for this regularly.m without religion bias.

Have you heard the word

This is a sin against humanity.

It's a term used well in legal field and dealing with great crime. It doesn't relate with religion but usage of the word.

Those are terms used daily.

Hope we are on the same page now?

I have never hear people say its a sin to sleep with a friends wife without reference to religion. What I do hear is stuff like taboo or betrayal or backstab, etc, not sin.

The phrase I know is "crime against humanity".

hupernikao:
Yes I do. People use it too. And I pointed to you the reason it's not common around.

Example?

hupernikao:
The word is an old word, don't forget to explain word within their time. Just like I won't use the word affright for afraid, asunder for apart, behold for see etc today. Is the same way, sin may not be used in day to day communication, but it's a word that fits and can be used in all endeavor of life today.

It's your tilt in life that let you feel it's religious word. Sin is a regular word in the Greco Roman age and Anglo Saxon culture.

Even shakespeare used it more in his writings.

Sonnet 142:
[i]Love is my sin, and thy dear virtue hate,
Hate of my sin, grounded on sinful loving.

You will find its usage well in contemporary writings of their age.

The reason it's more common around religion today is because, religious sects has most of the surviving manuscripts within man's history, hence the usage of words will be seen and maintained within such history and writings.

You did not answer if you use the word other than in a religious context.

hupernikao:
Is sin not an English word? Sin wasn't a spiritual word nah Bros. Is an English word, in English lexicon. So "we didn't find a new word", the word is there already.

So, doing wrong simply means to sin.

In your day to day life do you use sin to denote that which is wrong or bad? For instance when a shop keeper gives you the wrong change? When you see trash littered about? The only time you use it is with reference to religion. That's what I mean, it's not about how long the word has been around but what use you put it to. You don't use it other than for religious purposes.

cescky:
But ivermectin does work though..

Rogan also took very expensive treatments you can look up the specific ones but if I recall correctly it was the one they gave Trump when he was sick.

hupernikao:
Let's leave the spiritual aspect now. The word itself is what we are speaking about

The word sin, is from a meaning, a wrong doing. A miss step. Isn't it? It is not about feeling guilt or cleansing. The word already showed you that you wrong someone, something. Or misstepped. Right?

Why do we need a new word when wrong or bad is just fine?

Guyman02:
I am more interested in stories of people who beat the virus without vaccination like Joe Rogan the podcaster who said he used Ivermectin which CNN and other MSM started calling "Horse Dewormer" to treat himself and he recovered within 3 days.
There is a deliberate plan between Big Pharma and the media to ensure that money is made from vaccines,any contrary opinion, research or solution is marked as fake News by Big Tech such as Google, Facebook etc
Stories of recovery without vaccination are not given publicity like this one.

I wanna bet that Rogan is vaccinated plus it wasn't only Ivermectin he took.

SlawG:
god cannot be put to test, "else, he'll be put to SHAME". CAPS

Well what's he afraid of, that I'll laugh at him? LMFAO!

Canvass:
Religion is what people do to be in harmony with self and nature. Politics is what people do to be in harmony with others based on principle of self preservation.

The self in both often leads to self centeredness and selfishness, bastardizing the initial noble intentions.

There are no pure altruistic actions, don't kid yourself. Every action by humans has a self centred reason even when such a reason is not apparent.

hupernikao:
But sin simply means to miss a mark. To deviate from instruction or standard. Don't you think that happens everyday, even you can sin against someone by deviating from a set of standard or rule set. That's the meaning of sin. It's meaning is beyond moral uprightness. So sin surely exist right?

Nope, it is a religious concept invoked to elicit a strong guilt reaction so that you'll agree you require "cleansing". If it was merely doing wrong then you won't need the forgiveness of a god.

Dtruthspeaker:
As long as it is seen that you are truly the son of Evil and that you represent your father, Satan, the-evil ('D'evil)!

Blablablablabla, just nonsense talk is all you have. Tell your imaginary god to do something, let's see some action. LMAO

hupernikao:
Bro please can you explain your take on the concept of sin you mentioned.

In other to encourage behaviours they want the framers of a religion will call the behaviours they don't want sin and for Christianity in particular there is a cure for sin which only the religion of Christianity can provide. In actuality there is nothing like sin because the so called god giving the divine mandates doesn't exist. What does exist is harmful acts to your fellow human beings and your environment, not to a god.

Dtruthspeaker:
Shall the son of Satan not seek to cover his father, Satan?

Bwahahahahaha! Next thing na lizard go run pass your leg you go call am witch. LMFAO! Meanwhile tell your imaginary god to stop me from posting on Nairaland. LMFAO!

Franzinni:
wow.... sin is a concept? I am flabbergasted.. this one strong.

And yeah He only speaks in my head maybe I am crazy won't that just make your day?

He speaks to us All bro you just one of those who have decided to not listen... because it suits your narrative...

Maybe just maybe you are one ofof those Yahoo boys who is deceiving people even more than Lucifer for material gain at the expense of your soul and need to justify your actions by dismissing the possibility of "God" maybe ...just maybe.

Bwahahahahaha! OMFD! So your god can't even tell you who I am or what I do, you have to guess? LMFAO!

You being crazy won't make my day. What will make my day is when you realise that the only voice in your head is your own, even when it sounds like the ramblings of a lunatic.

Dtruthspeaker:
Isn't your father Satan still running around? As Sodom and Gomorrah, when it's time for y'all to be dealt with, you won't miss it, son of Satan!

Where did you see Satan running around, in your dreams? LMFAO!
