Immediate 2nd Coming??? (Imminent Echatology) week 9

No Christ did not return years after he left his disciples, but he left them with the impression that they should spread the good news as far as they could. they interpreted this message as a imminent need for Christs coming. Especially looking to the letters of Saint Paul and the acts of the apostles, it becomes clear that they beleived that Jesus would return to Judge the world in their own life times.

This beleif that Jesus would return is defined by Borg is Imminent Echatology, this led the Disciples on the fast paced attemps to convert and spread the good news to help as many people as they could before the second coming. each Gospel writer has its own interpretations of how soon Jesus would return. from Mark-to Matt- to Luke- to John, in that order the time that Jesu would return moves futher and further into the future.
