Well that helped, some. But okay bro ZNP,
I think I understand . . . :
1. I think the first step in this "man made" Christianity in response to a lack of faith (my understanding of your term "cognitive dissonance" and it includes both misunderstanding of the word of God as well as lack of faith in following the Lord) is referred to Rev 2 when the Lord tells the church in Ephesus that "they have left their first love".
. . . if you mean leaving the first love caused a man made replacement system.
Also, the "day and the hour" has no effect on "this generation." Neither does Jesus predicting Peters death.
This generation could include them.
And finally, not one verse points to "this generation." Bro zeek listed three witnesses ; Mark, Matt., Luke (Not John ... something perchance we'll kick around up the road on this thread). But three witnesses are substantial for our surviving records.
