Re: Context Implication Clarifies
Remember Hal Lindsey and The Late Great Planet Earth?
​
That rings a bell. He wrote a couple of books, took the show on the road, videos? I suspect he milked it for a very nice income. But then I'm cynical.

Re: The Greatest threat facing the world today
So Paul didn't think jesus would return in his lifetime or within the desciples life times?
​
what about the fact that people have been saying the end was near since paul?
​
I've long agreed with those who see Christianity as a failed religion/prophecy whose followers are in denial. Jesus didn't return. The Catholic and Orthodox churches were stuck creating a religion that hadn't been planned on as it wasn't supposed to have been needed. Spread the word cause before you or some one you know dies the world ends. It didn't end so they had to improvise.
​
This view is supported in that whenever people circumvent the traditions and go back to the NT for their religion they start to seeing the end times and expecting the return because that is what the religion said.
​
And it just wasn't Jews but pagans also were full of apocalyptic predictions and perceptions. Then two thousand years passed and still the notion of the end of the world can sell books, movies, videos. Go figure.

Re: Context Implication Clarifies
Come to think of it maybe Paul was right. The world did end and we are living where? Heaven, Hell, Purgatory?
