2 Peter 3:4-6. Where is the promise of his coming — To raise the dead, judge mankind, and destroy the earth? We see no sign of any such thing. The promise of Christ’s coming we have
Matthew 15:27, The Son of man shall come in his glory, &c.;
John 14:3, I will come and receive you to myself, &c., and in many other passages of the gospel; a promise which was renewed by the angels at our Lord’s ascension, and is spoken of in many passages of the epistles, especially in those of St. Paul. By representing Christ’s promised coming as a delusion, the scoffers set themselves and others free from all fear of a future judgment, and bereft the righteous of their hope of reward. For since the fathers fell asleep —
Since our ancestors died; all things — Heaven, earth, air, water; continue as they were from the beginning of the creation — Without any such material change as might make us believe they will ever have an end. So say these scoffers.

Sean, maybe you should read these websites before you post. You just cherry pick, because you haven't the slightest idea of what you believe. Jesus was one of the fathers that fell asleep? You tripped over your feet on that one. Yet, you let that post get buried and didn't even produce any commentary from your mentor Google concerning Jesus being one of the father's that fell asleep.
