The keywords here are "The Lord does not delay" and your argument was God's return can be delayed. Simple as that.

I am just so tired of the LC usual way of twisting the scripture to support its own argument instead of accepting the plain truth as stated. It was quite like the serpent saying "Did God really say,..." to Eve.

The early church expected Christ to return in their lifetime.

So now there are good early churches and bad early churches? Why then "early" should matter at all? Shouldn't we just be a good church?
