If Jesus were to come back today...

Alright, if God decided that he was going to return Jesus back to earth, to be reborn as he was 2000 or so years ago, and not in some weird apocolyptic kind of way, just reborn to preach the good word etc to humanity again.....

a) Where would Jesus be born again?
b) What would he come back as?
c) Do you think that any form of society would believe he's actually the Son of God or would he end up in the looney bin?

 

A) When he comes back he won't be born, he'll return directly from heaven.
B) What do you mean "What will he come back as?" do you think he'll be a cow or a tree or a clark bar or something? He'll come back as himself.
C) They won't toss him in the looney bin, or if they do it'll only be because he lets them do it and then he won't stay there for long. Modern fundamentalist Christians will be the first to try and kill him, that's for sure. Muslims will try to kill him too, and maybe some more militant Jews will try it as well. All the other religions probably won't really care that there is some dude running around claiming to be Jesus. The self proclaimed "Pagans" probably won't be very fond of him, I doubt that they'll try and kill him though. Most of his followers will probably be drawn from the ranks of the poorest and most down troden folks along with some hippy kind of people and road dogs and such.

 

not looking for solid answers, just curious as to what folks think.

That, I know. I do believe, though, what I had posted, is assume for the sake of conversation that he were to be born as he was the first time.

Clearly not. It's a good thing we're not being sarcastic. When Jesus came around the first time, he was raised to be a carpenter, like Joseph. I suppose I should've been more clear, asking what career do you think he may have, other than the whole prophet/son of God thing. Clearly, not a clark bar.

 

Well that's an easy one. He would be born in a manger to a young girl (not a virgin), and would be surrounded by animals.

This suggests that Jesus loves animals and will be a vegan. Just kidding.

A GIANT MAN-EATING DRAGON! (laughs)

No, a poor man. He could be Puerto-Rican, Mexican, Caucasian, Australian African, North American, or even Asian. But he would be poor and would have perfect morals. He'd be beaten up by bullies and just turn the other cheek, meanwhile people like Bush would investigate his birth and report the phrase "Oh shit, we're screwed" directly to Satan.

Oh come on, you all know why Bush is the most powerful man in the world right now. Satan put him there to inform him of when Jesus returns! It's the only quasi-pseudo-almost-logical explaination!

Any form of society? Well that's obvious, they already really believed once.

I imagine he might end up in the looney bin for societies that rely heavily on scientific knowledge and advancement (such as ours) but let's say he returns and is born into some South American native tribe and they immediately accept him as their saviour? Who knows!

 

I don't recall where this is in the Bible, but I think that when he comes back he won't have a human "career" as he did the first time. I could be wrong about this though.

 

True, according to the Bible, if God were to return to earth, it's the end of the world.

I was just writing a purely hypothetical thing... nothing apocalyptic, just a "what if" scenario, if the birth of Christ were to recycle itself for the sake of happening.

 

a) small town in america... in a car
b) Janitor
c) It would be tough without scripture to back Him up. That is part of the reason why He was so powerful. For those who knew scripture, they saw Jesus fulfill the prophecies of the Messiah right before their eyes.

But an adulterous generation loves miracles and that is where we are at today. One miracle and he would have His crowd ; )

 

I'm not sure about all of that...I do know Benny Hinn is in DEEP doo doo though.

 

I was half joking man....

 

wow, FedUpAmerican, it's a good thing we don't overreact to stuff.

Sheesh, it's just a measly thread, relax.
