Why do some people doubt Christ's return?

Answered in 1 source

Doubts about Christ's return often stem from a misunderstanding of God's timing and the apparent delay in His promises.

People doubt Christ's return due to a lack of faith and an inability to grasp God's nature, particularly His transcendence over time. In 2 Peter 3, Peter warns that scoffers will arise questioning where the promise of His coming is, interpreting God's patience as ineffectiveness. However, this delay is God's mercy, providing opportunities for repentance (2 Peter 3:3-9). Such doubts often reflect a limited human perspective that judges God's promises based on temporal reasoning rather than eternal truth.
