WHY HASN'T CHRIST RETURNED TO CONQUER EVIL AND BRING PEACE?

 WHY HASN'T CHRIST RETURNED TO CONQUER EVIL AND BRING PEACE?

      Critics of the Christian faith argue that many sects are waiting for their "savior" to return. Thousands of years have passed and no return. Intelligent people must lead the way and save the world.

SCRIPTURAL RESPONSE: 2PETER 3

     "First of all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, mocking and following their own evil desires. They will say, "where is this 'coming' he promised? Ever since our fathers died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation."(uniformitarianism) But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord, a day is like a thousand years and a thousand years are like a day. The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient, with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. The day of the Lord will come like a thief."

PRACTICAL APPLICATION: REAL TIME AND SPACE

      In practical reality, no one in the post-diluvian world has waited over 120 years for their "savior". For most of us, it's between 70-80 years. Everyday, over 150K souls are introduced to their "savior".

Hopefully, it's the One who conquered sin and death, proclaiming, "I am the resurrection and the life, those who believe in me, though they die, will live again and those who are living will never die!"
