Do Christians sin ? ABSOLUTELY

Mark 9:1 - And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power.
Luke 9:22 - But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.
Matt 16:28 - Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

So here we have it, basically three witness's see the same event, could say car accident, each ones overall statement is pretty much the same, with their own little twists.

The Bible states the likes of, if you have two witness's witnessing the same thing, then it is true, so from these statement here we have --> two effectively saying --> kingdom of God come with power.

After Jesus, or you might say, he said the stage, made it possible, that after him, God would then dwell in people as he did with Jesus, but not with the same measure.
People now and not just Jesus, would be the Temple for God to dwell in.
John 4:24 - Spirit the God is...............and we know there is but one Spirit in regards to the Spirit of God and that is the Holy Spirit and the Bible tell us, that is Power, all things including Jesus being able to come to people, is via the Holy Spirit = "there be some standing here" that did NOT taste death = FULFILLED.

Comforter --> Holy Spirit is the House, Wall, pasture, clothing etc, God's Kingdom.
Col 1:13 (God has) Who hath delivered us fromdarkness and hath translated us into thekingdom of his dear Son.

Matt 12:28 -
But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you.

As for me using the word imminent --> my words, simply summing up what Jesus repeated over and over, the likes of, the Kingdom of God, is nigh, close at hand, over and over and OVER.

As far as I can see, all you do is bring together a bunch of different verses and construct an interpretation that suits your needs.
I do as instructed via the Bible which you have often protested about, here a little and there a little.
The main tossing to and from with Mr G and Co is, BECAUSE they refuse to draw upon, include the extra verses I put before them = the Hole story or truth.

The trouble is with you lot, it appear you have no idea what the Kingdom of God with power is.

Not to mention, because you can't see two totally different things in this topic, your effectively hanging yourself all the time by trying to do the impossible, aligning these latter events with the some standing here, TOPIC.

"I do as instructed via the Bible which you have often protested about, here a little and there a little."

Except what you (and others) do with your manipulations and cherry picking to arrive at a required interpretation, is not what Isaiah was talking about. Which was more to do with the word of God as per Hebrew Law and prophets.

With you, it is more a case of...
"13 But the word of the Lord was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken."

"Luke 9:22 - But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God."

The others are more or less the same so just to take Luke ..
It is an error to pluck a phrase out of context and then claim that because it uses certain words you can turn it every which way.

To derive the interpretation you stop at, means you must delete the preceding verses and context .. of Jesus telling them he must be sacrificed then raised up again. There is no sudden change in direction between 26 and 27.
"²⁶Whoever is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels."
²⁷“Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God.”

This is clearly speaking of the same "coming" as described in the Olivet discourse.
It is may well be different from other descriptions of what "The Kingdom of God" or "coming in glory" might represent.

Then again, perhaps it isn't. Who could possibly be sure what anything means by reading and interpreting the Gospels included in the Bible as the sole means of discovering truth.
