You mean like basing your(I mean the generic "your" not necessarily you in particular) idea that Jesus came back at the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD based on the observations of Josephus?

Not true, I base the return of Christ on scripture alone. I use Josephus merely as background and is subject to error. The correct interpretation of "this generation" and "some standing here" as well as many others have gone forth as witness of the truth and you reject it at your own risk. I will not continually repeat myself nor spend time defending myself. By the way, you have insulted the great Apostle of God, John, by calling uninspired "historians" his "contemporaries". That is my "pathetic" ministry to you my friend.

How is saying that Irenaeus and Polycarp were contemporaries of John, meaning they were alive at about the same time John was, an insult to John? Do you have a different definition of "contemporary"?

Judas was a contemporary of Jesus.

Herod was a contemporary of Jesus.

Pilate was a contemporary of Jesus.

Did I just insult Jesus?

If you don't know what "contemporary" means, look it up.
