Then in the following statement he makes it a point to say that some who were present as he spoke those words would not taste death before these events occurred. Also, the book of Revelations wasn't even written at the time. Matthew is believed to have been dated to about 65-80 CE and Revelations wasn't written till around 90-95 CE Chatpilothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03550924322118366351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6211409678921393693.post-70872471353690762512014-04-26T01:23:25.253-04:002014-04-26T01:23:25.253-04:00I think Mat 16:27 here refers to the disciple John...I think Mat 16:27 here refers to the disciple John who wrote revelation.

'the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.' This did not happen they did not see angels nor were rewarded for anything. This is clearly not a reference to the transfiguration.<br /><br />Also, don't forget that when Jesus was baptized the so called people present also heard a voice from heaven making the exact same statement to confirm Christ authority.Chatpilothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03550924322118366351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6211409678921393693.post-90852742237352850212010-08-02T10:10:57.145-04:002010-08-02T10:10:57.145-04:00Wow!

You are reading way more into that text than is actually presented there. 2Peter 1:16-18 is obviously a reference to the transfiguration, but they are not saying that they were eyewitnesses to the coming of Jesus in power and majesty but rather that they believed the stories regarding his coming because they had heard the voice of God giving honour to him by stating this is my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased. They were eyewitnesses to his authority and power and believed in his promises based on the vision that they had on the holy mount.Chatpilothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03550924322118366351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6211409678921393693.post-63021047345505945542010-08-02T01:19:47.772-04:002010-08-02T01:19:47.772-04:00Aha ... but Peter actually coroborates this later ...Aha ... but Peter actually coroborates this later (2 Peter 1:16-18) by claiming that he was an eyewitness to the coming of Jesus in power and majesty, and pinpoints this to the transfiguration.

Taken in context he was speaking of something grand such as his return or second coming to gather up his people. And a word for word break down of the text in Matthew 16:28 with verse 27 refers to the same event. I think the foot in mouth disease here also refers to you. And yes, these words were directed at his disciples. But they are all dead and he has yet to return.

Israel.<br /><br />Mark 16:28 must refer to the disciples, since they are the ones mentioned as present. Chapter 17 records three of these disciples seeing Jesus in a transfigured or "coming-kingdom-like" state ... which happened before they died.<br /><br />Scratching my head to see where the foot-in-mouth disease is in that . . ?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6211409678921393693.post-7725662076726339622010-08-01T14:02:52.726-04:002010-08-01T14:02:52.726-04:00Sorry for the error.

I agree we atheists need to support each other in any way we can, whether it's through commenting on each others blog or even writing as guest on each other blogs. Or even better getting involved in debates with theists on each others blogs.

And these certain supernaturalists like Clive Staples Lewis, contend that without His authority we naturalists cannot ground morality without His sanction.They are conflating a physical law with ethics.The shocker is that then they thereby condemn God!So instead of us relying on their morality, they rely on ours covenant morality for humanity- the presumption of humanism.<br /> They condemn implicitly Him with His atrocities in the Tanakh and His love of Hell.<br /> "Faith doth that to people!"<br />At Thales Ignostic Morgan,I'll further develop this line of thinking.<br /> Chatpilot writes quite well whilst some find my posting turgid and some love it.<br />Please viewers don't just view our blogs but help make them better with your commentary.
