Lots of people fail to see the truth staring them in the face;
nose to nose with it;
even in their own mirrors.
Nothing new in 2000 years about that.
Personally, I don’t consider Scripture and history mangling deceptions from hell fostering folks failing to watch, be ready, as Christ instructed . . . to be any fraction of the truth. Preterists, REPLACEMENTARIANS et al will likely have a LOT to answer for.
1 Corinthians 13 9-13 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
I believe that when the end does come...we will all have a lot to answer for...and that would include me.
God bless
