re: True or false: Justice is dead until Christ’s second coming.

Jesus told his disciples that he would come back during their lifetime. Obviously he didn’t, but the early leaders of the church like Paul absolutely believed such as well.

The more this gets overlooked, the more evangelical, conservative catholics and fundamentalists look retarded and cult-like.

im curious where this is in the Bible, as well. Not disagreeing with you but id like to read about it

Jesus did not lie about his return to Earth, because some of those who were standing there did not taste death before the saw the Son of man coming in his Kingdom. Out-of-context speculation is both useless and needless, so now that you’ve quoted the introduction, read the rest with it:

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.
1 And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,
2 And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.
3 And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him.
4 Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.
5 While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.—Matthew 16:28–17:5 (KJV)

After six days, Jesus partly fulfilled that prophecy and fully fulfilled it when Jesus was resurrected and came to His disciples during the 40 days before Pentecost and met with them in His glorified form. He was no longer bound by physical boundaries and natural laws. He was resurrected into a glorified body that will never taste death again.

This was Jesus coming in His kingdom, in His glorified form.

It did not ever say that they would not die before they saw the actual kingdom itself, as Heaven. That comes later.

Many believe that J was referencing the Holy Spirit. The HS came to those believers about 50 days after Christ’s resurrection.

Look up the origin of the term "Doubting Thomas".

As you do, feel free to reconsider your posit that, IAW the Bible, Jesus did not come back in their lifetimes.

He still has time.
