I think you're overlooking the part of Christian faith that decrees that God is eternal. Essentially that can translate to thousands of years can pass as a single day for Him. Thousands and thousands of more years could pass, and the belief that He will come back will still be there - simply because no amount of time would be a hindrance for a Being that has always been and will always be. If anything, it taking so long just pushes Christians to more so believe that He is coming, because to change route on that based on Him not coming yet would be seen as doubting Him and His eternalness, while also equating what is seen as an omniscient and literally never ending God to the same expectations of human perception of time.

@LillyPad Jesus’s second comming was suppose to happen while that generation was still alive. If it had happened during that time the Christians would have said I told you so. But because it hasn’t happened they say that we haven’t interpreted it correctly by saying soon meant something else to god. A prediction without any time limit at all is useless.

@Bandit2398 A magic number of believers MUST BE KILLED for their faith before the Jesus character gets off of his lazy butt and reappears.

“Most importantly, I want to remind you that in the last days scoffers will come, mocking the truth and following their own desires. They will say, “What happened to the promise that Jesus is coming again? From before the times of our ancestors, everything has remained the same since the world was first created.””
2 Peter 3:3-4 NLT
“But you must not forget this one thing, dear friends: A day is like a thousand years to the Lord, and a thousand years is like a day. The Lord isn’t really being slow about his promise, as some people think. No, he is being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants everyone to repent. But the day of the Lord will come as unexpectedly as a thief. Then the heavens will pass away with a terrible noise, and the very elements themselves will disappear in fire, and the earth and everything on it will be found to deserve judgment.”
2 Peter 3:8-10 NLT
God is still building his kingdom on earth. He’s only been there two days in his reckoning so give him a chance

@Pikachu too much evidence in history and personal experiences that it is Not Right according to Natural Law.

@Pikachu not to mention, there are at the very least a small handful of disasters that started from faulty power lines and whatnot or other things that were in the end the result of humans and no one can be blamed just because a wire was wrong in a house or others. like that one lawsuit in california for a fire because of a faulty line from an electrical company. it may not have even been because of that

The point is as the Bible says man is a vapour compared with the eternity the God presents, how much time do you think should pass, My Pikachu? That a thousand years is a day and a day is a thousand years to God, how much time would you think is reasonable?
