Bible Note: Hello Coper, Your claims are not without some merit, but I don't entirely buy into the early date or lack of internal evidence argument. What does stand out and pique my interest is your statement that, "John didn't miss the return of Christ at all!" Without trying to be condescending, I say, "Really?!" When did He return and was it invisible? This is much akin to the JW's claim that Christ returned (invisibly) in 1914! This strains all credibility given Acts 1:11 and Rev. 1:7- "They also said, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in just the same way as you have watched Him go into heaven." "BEHOLD, HE IS COMING WITH THE CLOUDS, and every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him; and all the tribes of the earth will mourn over Him. So it is to be. Amen." Who saw Him? Did every eye see Him? The Second Coming will not go unnoticed! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
