Won't you be so red faced embarrassed if you are alive when He returns to rule the earth? I think if I were you I would at least give Him enough respect just in case you may be wrong. That would be the wisest position you could take.
Balogna. The very specific years Daniel was given from the going forth of the word to rebuild Jerusalem to the Messiah as Prince was very exact and only Jesus fulfilled that to a 'T'. No one else even came close.
I still stand by my laughter at the empty threats above, but perhaps I should back up my claim that the 'cut -off messiah' stuff in Daniel matches the events around Onias III and - to use your own terms - only Onias III fulfilled that to a 'T'. No one else even came close. The 'specific years' by the way, had to be fiddled to 'weeks of years' to make them stretch to the 1st c AD.

Come now AREQUIPA, I'm definitely not into threats. Don't need to.

That sunshine, I take as a barefaced threat. You will blandly deny that it is any such thing. Ok, I'll play. So what if Jesus does return to earth? What difference would that make to me, even if he comes here? I'm not anti -Jewish.

By shutting your eyes to the shedloads of evidence that the Bible is not reliable, Christ is a fabrication, and the claims of religion do not stand up.

Then don't do it. Discuss the evidence reasonably.
Isn't this a little like the tootsie-pop question of how many licks to get to the center? There just isn't any way of knowing if there was a person or there wasn't a person if there is no proof.
Of course I suppose you might want to use the Book of Mormon to substantiate the claim that Jesus actually exsisted since he is mention in several chapters.
The challenge of saying one has to just believe (Mormons call it the warm fuzzy feeling) because your soul knows the truth is really kind of shallow and pious. As i once told my Mormon Missionaries and others who used the warm fuzzy feeling analogy, kittens also give me warm fuzzy feelings but I have no delusions of the kitten being a god.

Oh brother , giving you some personal sage advice is not threatening unless you are a little baby. Waa waaa waaa!
We will see how much a fabrication Christ is when He returns. I win, you win because in spite of your spitefulness, He is going to save you any way.

What I find so amazing is these immature naysayers say Christ is just a made-up figure.
Now they will accept a thousands years old book which talks about Plato and say, see here,
Plato really did exist. But they are hypocrites in that they refuse to believe the thousands year old
history book called the New Testament concerning Jesus.
