“Has Jesus come? If He hasn’t - and He hasn’t - then we’re talking about two different times so your prooftext doesn’t work. Thanks for trying.”

No post mentioned “times”. That’s your addition, (to save face).

He let us know it was a possibility and therefore not “A figment of your imagination”.

And, logically, that possible state of faithlessness would probably exist for some time BEFORE his coming. So your argument in moot.

“No post mentioned “times”. That’s your addition, (to save face).”

First of all, your comment that I am doing anything to “save face” is a faulty attempt at “mind reading as to motivation” and therefore is ‘making it personal’ and violates the rules of the board. Second, the verse YOU posted said this: ““Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?” Luke 18:8”

Now, “when” - is a word related to TIME. Also, Jesus clearly has not YET returned to earth. Thus, the passage is clearly about a TIME which has not yet happened.

“He let us know it was a possibility and therefore not “A figment of your imagination”.”

If you’re going to attack what I said, at least attack my comments in regard to what I actually responded to. I said it was a figment of your imagination that there is “a church full of fake Christians”. I never said it in relation to anything stated by Christ EVER. Care to make up any other false things while you’re at it?

“And, logically, that possible state of faithlessness would probably exist for some time BEFORE his coming.”

Which hasn’t happened so you can’t know if that even works out “logically” according to time.

“So your argument in moot.”

Nope. My argument is perfectly sound and stands completely unrefuted by you. And that won’t change.

to save face

Attributing motive is a form of "making it personal."

Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.
