That was abut 2,000 years ago.
How, pray tell, is a 2,000 delay not slow?
Peter and Paul both believed and stated that they expected Jesus to return within their lifetimes.
Did He?
Signs point to NO,

SupraTruth. Supra, meaning "beyond the limits of". Supra Truth, meaning beyond the limits of truth. Now, that we have established who you are and what you stand for, we can converse with the understanding that your utterances are beyond anything resembling "the truth".

2 peter had nothing to with that. 2 peter was about the second coming and the end of the world which we all know has not happened yet. and peter says that it is taking awhile so everyone comes to repentance and that no one perishes. the only way that could be is that people are given more chances and able to live other lives. this is a huge setback to churches who get money by saying god will put them in hell unless they go the their church. and 2 peter is not taught by the churches because it contradicts them.Xavier_Onassis » 07 Apr 2022, 10:32 am » wrote: ↑ Jesus told a group of disciples after his brief return following the Resurrection, that he would return before the last of them has tasted death.

Put hunting in there . . . just as valid as fishing.
I love fish.

Thought to myself, "this could be fun". But, then I remembered, the ends - eating fish, just doesn't justify the means. There are some fish I can eat if I must like Dolphin (I refuse to call it Mahi Mahi) and even some cuts of Tuna. But, even the non-stink fish that I can tolerate never fills me up and never gives me that "I'm in freaking heaven" sensation that I get when eating a well prepared cut of steak.

Funny story. I'm on the way back from a hell gig with some comics. The conversation meanders into the metaphysical, and I allow that I believe in the immortal soul. One of the comics starts giving me an enormous ration is **** - just really scorning me for my provincial notions. I let him run his mouth a bit, then I question him at length. And he gives me every assurance that he is one hundred percent certain that there is no such thing as a soul - that only fools who fear death believe in such. He is supercilious about it - really annoying, and really relentless.Xavier_Onassis » 07 Apr 2022, 9:49 am » wrote: ↑ They are Hindu beliefs.

That is arguable. Jesus told the thief on the cross, "You will be with me this night in paradise."Xavier_Onassis » 07 Apr 2022, 10:00 am » wrote: ↑ The official Christians doctrine states that when you die, you remain dead until Jesus comes back.

If you like pike then you like cunnilingus.
Most men like cunnilingus anyway . . . even if they never had a taste of Pike !FOS » 07 Apr 2022, 10:22 pm » wrote: ↑ I have.

Went for business dinners to specialized oysters restaurants . . . more like a statement to my potential clients.

Too much excrement in them . . . as I became older I quit completely
Wouldn't eat one if you paid me !
But it doesn't taste like **** !
