No, the Biblical Age is not over. As long as we have ignorance, lack of education, IQs below 100, and parents who brainwash their children, the Biblical Age will continue to flourish.

Nope, we just turn the other cheek and pray that the angry atheists find peace in their lives.

That isn’t what the Jews said. It is what historians say..
A mountain of scholarship has been done on the subject.
We have thousands of manuscripts from the first thousand years of Christianity.. we can tell how various groups all had their various opinions and how Christianity evolved over the decades.
You can read the Bible yourself and see the evolution. You just have to know what order the books were written in.
A) Paul’s “Undisputed” letters are the oldest, but he makes no claims about the life time of jesus. His letters are arguing doctoral issues between different groups of Christians..
Prob 30 years after the crucifixion.
Then you have “the disputed Pauline texts because everyone agrees there is a different author with a different chrstology.
The real Paul was very pro women in the church. The disputed Pauline gospels are very anti-women in church.
B) Mark is the next oldest book at about 60 years after the crucifixion.
In the crucifixion jesus is in shock. He is surprised at his fate. He is silent on the way to Golgotha and cry’s our “father , father why have you forsaken me?!?”.
In Matthew jesus knows what’s up . He knows he will be crucified and is perfectly ok with it. He tells everyone else not to worry.
The christology evolved.
So when people go looking for phrophecy in the word for word account in the 4,000th translation..... your probably kidding yourself..
Atleast look for the word for word stuff in the oldest translations..

it's lovely of you to think of us... i personally found peace when i was able to move away from the small town full of christians who tried to convert me every day, but maybe if more of them had been lovely like you i would have found it earlier.
