That's another problem, Jesus is said to have promised to return in power, come to judge the world within the lifetime of those standing before him. The first Christians waited for that event, but it did not happen.
Others who read the Bible say something different. You don't know what the first Christians did. Jesus said He would send the Holy Spirit. That happened.
The words say what they say and mean what they mean. The first Christians expected the return of Jesus In power within their lifetimes, as the words say and as promised. Check the history. It's there for anyone to see and read.
Ringman,
I'm disappointed in you.
Typically you don't misrepresent the contents of the Bible.
You didn't use logic or reason to get into this opinion, I cannot use logic or reason to get you out of it.
You cannot over estimate the unimportance of nearly everything. John Maxwell
