Ah, ok. He would be a world renowned and loved celebrity, probably have at least a dozen people catering to his every need and when the 'fad' had worn off they would dump him for the next big thing. ie. Family Guy - Season 7 - Episode 2 - I dream of Jesus - http://clickplay.to/tv-shows/family-guy-60/season-7/episode-2-3790
that actually does sound pretty reasonable. I can totally see that happening. but what would the initial ride be like, for him, I wonder?
Probably more temptation than the devil threw at him in those 40 days, one wonders if the human side of him would be able to resist.
doubtful. he'd have to declare himself a catholic priest to avoid the inevitable. and how the protties would HATE that
and after declaring himself a catholic priest deal with inevitable association fallacy of 'liking boys' The funniest thing of all would be if 'he' came back as a black homosexual man
I don't think there'd be a Christian alive today who could actually cope with the reality of their faith. that is to say if it all turned out to be true, and the god and his team turned up here. I can imagine a wholesale defection to Buddhism, or some other soft option faux faith. But yeah, the fun for the rest of us would be in watching them try to deal with jesus the black communist lesbian. If the foundation of your worldview, since childhood, is entirely dependent upon a nice looking white man who fondles lambs and encourages arch conservatism, you're pretty much (*)(*)(*)(*)ed
God got sort of ticked off when his sons were banging women. He immediately put the blame on humans for being beautiful. Then he turns around and rapes a young girl who was supposed to be engaged to a guy. Can't trust those celestial guys around women.
Wrong. But you would need to understand the teachings he died for, in order to get an idea of what the world would look like if he were to return and rule a thousand years. There would be no gov't, no laws, for the moral law will be imprinted upon the hearts of man. There would not be capitalism, for there would be no rich nor poor. Everyone would share equally in the resources of the earth. You would basically have a world in which the human ego no longer ruled. And that would create the heaven on earth. For the ego is the problem, and the selfishness that is part and parcel of the ego. That doesn't mean people would be zombies, for from it. They would just not be interested in only their own self gratification. A world without the egos running the show would be a world without conflict, division, and even religion as we know it. Yeah, looks like a good place to live and raise up kids.
If he returns, he won't be treated as a star, a sex symbol. For the people left here won't be ruled over by egos and therefore such behavior won't exist. He won't return to a corrupt, evil, self centered world, but something much different. When the egos start to drop away, and the mind finally sees what it actually is, this is the return of Christ. And Christ will be each person who lost the ego, and so if there are a billion people here, there will be Christ manifesting in a billion human bodies. For what Christ is, is consciousness minus the human ego, an illusion created by the physical brain. When the ego drops away, Christ has returned. So, all of the myths about his return are just that, myths. These myths are believed by minds who "don't get it" and would rather believe in fairy tales instead of something real. Just like children. Immaturity.
like I said, a communist. the religious right would hate him. incidentally, what in hell does "imprinted on the hearts of man" mean?
no sex? is that what you're saying? jesus will banish libido? now I'm convinced of that wholesale defection - - - Updated - - - god is so dysfunctional. if he was my dad I'd divorce him.
If someone suddenly showed up preaching peace, love, tolerance, and forgiveness, he/she would be murdered in a fairly short amount of time. Nobody wants to hear that. Look at what happened to Gandhi and King.
I would think the first to the fray would be the religious right. As submitted, I doubt many Christians could cope with the reality of their faith. How comically sad that would be .... if his killers were the very people who take the whole thing literally. It would certainly figure, though.
There are no marriages in heaven. When man ate from the tree of knowledge of good and evil he became as God and knew the difference between good and evil. So Jesus in not necessary to tell man what's good or bad.
It's funny to think this fact alone doesn't phase them. After all, not one of the thousands of abandoned gods, all as real as yahweh in their day, has ever come down to protest the lack of attention. Not one. The latest on death row (yahweh) is as silent as all the others.
Tomorrow is Yom Kippur..... and many suspect that the Second Coming could happen on that Jewish High Sabbath and fast day.
I'll keep a weather eye out for a) black communist lesbians, and b) white guys with rockstar hair and crazy eyes.
According to the fairy tale when Jesus returns he will torture everyone, destroy the environment, kill all life in a big war, and blow up the planet. Most people won't be singing his praises about what a swell guy he is.
Well the similarities between Jesus and Elvis are uncanny! - "And the people all tried to touch Jesus, because power was coming from him" (Luke 6:19)
No, not quite right sir. He comes back with his forces and he whips arse and takes names. Once he has destroyed, forever, people like yourself, there will be a new heaven and a new earth, on which He shall reign for a thousand years. A socialist paradise, no rich, no poor, everyone sharing in the earths resources in prosperity. Sounds pretty good. But what comes after the thousand years? Of course in what Christ personally taught and told the people, he never went into detail on his second coming. Someone got on dmt and made this story up in revelations a long time after they killed the dude on that cross. I think his second coming will be an event where a human being will become enlightened, and therefore rational, reasonable, logical, driven by a moral center, and it will begin to spread slowly through the populations of the world. That is his second coming, a coming which changes the world. For the better, by humanity finally evolving psychologically away from the human nature that drives us to war, to environmental destruction, to crime of all kinds, and so on. And this will be the golden age of humanity, and we will thrive on earth for as long as it provides the environment for life. I didn't make this up, this scenario. It is actually taken from an assortment of religious beliefs and philosophies. But it looks a helluva lot better to my eye, than the traditional nonsense.
