Did Jesus lie ?

What about when he refers to race?

That was provided. My point with that was, that the gospel has not yet been preached to all nations yet. Signifying that the end of the age and this generation has not yet come. Same thing here. It was to signify the end of the age, and show that John knew what was meant by the word generation. Bingo, so if all was not filled, then the word generation means something else, unless Jesus was wrong, and lying. I know what the word generation can typically mean, I have never argued against that. I am showing you that there are alternate definitions, such as the television generation, but again you choose to ignore that, and failed to explain what that means. Strange, my kids watch TV, not the internet.
As long as there are TV's, we are part of the TV generation.Just like we are part of a generation that uses fire. That has lasted how long?Many different adjectives, and promouns can help you define exactly what kind of generation you are speaking of.How does a television generation fit the description of a period of time between birht of a child, and then the child growing up and giving birth, to start another generation of......family. So in that case you would describe the word generation by saying it is a generation of family, or family generation.We are part of a generation that drives automobiles. How long will that last?
That uses rails to ride trains,
that flies airplanes,
that goes into space.If I said we are the space generation, 1000 years from now, if we were still in space, we would still be part of that generation.The generation that Jesus was speaking of, is the one that would see all those things come to pass. Well, all things haven't passed, so we must still be in that generation. Could it be any simpler?I mean why bother telling them all that was going to happen, and then send tham out to tell everyone else, if their own generation of people was not going to pass? He must have meant something else. It is plainly obvious to me. There is no way in hell I am going to retract that statement, and as we get further into it, I am getting more convinced that I am right, and you are wrong. I think you are the one who needs to retract. I proved plenty, but you have choose to ignore it, like I said you would(does that make me a prophet?lol). The lexicon clearly states that the word genea can mean race. The Jewish race is still around, so I don't see a problem with the word genea meaning a period of time longer than 30 years. You have failed to even remotely acknowledge it, and that is why the BS meter is pegged to the right. It's almost as if you have an agenda.Another thing, everyone around here keeps speaking for the author. The author is dead, and can not stick up for himself, or Jesus, and the writing has been translated from a language that is not fully understood. How can any of this arguement be an absolute?

Two questions.
Why? since we still use fire.And when did it start? If you use the noun TV to describe the noun generation, then yes. If you use the word tree to describe generation, then yes. No because the letter X in X-generation is an abbreviation for the word extreme. It represents what the media defines as extreme sports.
IT is a poser generation, but there are a few people who are actually more extreme than the previous generation.[q]sOh, oh I've got a better one: Neandhertals and us we're all part of the 'cave generation'. They used to live in caves and we now use caves for...errr.. caving I suppose, so there you have it !![/qs]Only if you use the word cave to describe a generation of people. If you use the word neandhertals and cave people, then you are confusing two different things. Only if you use the word Donkey to define the word generation. It's basic English.
What about today's oak tree's? How long have they been around for? Aren't they a generation of trees, and there were predecessor's to the oak tree, and there will be a future genration of oak trees?
How long have they been around.You are still avoiding the questions I really want answered, and I am not going back to tell them to you again. No. The word to describe what kind of generation Jesus was refering to is the word "this" The word "this" has many meanings, and it would have been better spoken to refer to it as "your generation" if the definition of the word genea is the one you are presenting.Please, take notice, you only have one definition of the word genea, when it can clearly mean just about anything. One track mind. Nothing because he didn't say the donkey generation, He said "this generation". And before that He explained all the things that must pass before "this generation " must come to an end. So we must still be living in "this generation" or Jesus was a liar. hardly. I think you have the thickest head yet.The fact that you are resorting to rhetoric, just shows how you are not sorting anything out.Edited by riVeRraT, : No reason given.

no.I don't see how you make the leap, from describing a generation of people, such as the Jewish race, to only those living, at the time the words were spoken. I am not saying it couldn't mean that, I am just saying that it doesn't have to mean that.Do you think that the disciples thought they were going to be the last generation?

Why did you leave the the rest of the definition?Even in biology when one species goes to another, it can be refered to a generation of species.This is the full definition: Look at the second to last definition, #6. I was reading somewhere, that the aramaic word used for the word genea, may have not always been interpreted correctly.It seems that the Christians who accept that He was just speaking to those present, feel that the prophcies of that chaptor have come to pass.I feel like even though those words may, or may have not been written for us, somehow they still apply. Perhaps Jesus knew this, and is part of the beauty of the bible.What I would like to do is find out if you think Jesus was just speaking to that audience, and not everyone who was going ot read the bible, then why isn't Jesus a liar then? How could He be wrong? Is there room for Jesus to be wrong, and not be a liar? We should start another topic where you guys can explain this.Also we should not be discussing the contemporary meaning of the word generation, or even the translated meaning of the word definition, and only the ancient greek meaning of the word, or the aramaic meaning of the word.You also did not answer my question.

Do you know what a modifier is?
A verb?
A pronoun? Please answer the questions. I am amazed how you totally avoid the truth.
