“Furthermore, you place yourself at odds with Peter, James, John, and Paul with this view,”

No, the only thing I am at odds with is your interpretation.

“who all wrote that the end was near and the Lord was coming soon to the people of their day.”

No, they all simply wrote in an apocalyptic sense which is valid for all people and in all times since the coming of Christ since these are the last days. To suggest otherwise is to suggest the Bible is in error (i.e. the sacred authors wrote mistakenly in scripture about the time of the end).

“If you are right, then they lied.”

Nope. None of them lied and I am still right.

“I’m not comfortable calling the apostles “liars.” Are you?”

No, and only you are calling them liars following your logic. Has the world ended? No.

“No, the only thing I am at odds with is your interpretation.”

I have not offered any interpretation. Stop projecting.

“No, they all simply wrote in an apocalyptic sense which is valid for all people and in all times since the coming of Christ since these are the last days.”

Case in point of your projection on interpretation: these are the “last days” according to YOU, your creeds, and your sect, all of which stand in direct opposition to the plainly written and recorded words of Christ and His apostles.

“None of them lied and I am still right.”

They didn’t lie. However you are clearly wrong, as demonstrated by the relevant passages.

“Has the world ended? No.”

“World” has several meanings, one of which has nothing whatsoever to do with the manner in which you understand it. Instead of tacitly calling Christ and the apostles “liars”, perhaps you should adjust your view of the word to theirs.
