Jesus is coming back tomorrow at 3pm! Get Ready! (grace, hell, atheist)

[FROMCATOGA]

Now that I have your attention... I was thinking, what if the world knew without a shadow of a doubt, that Jesus Christ was coming back to the physical world tomorrow at 3pm... What would you do?

1) If you're a believer in Christ and accepted Him as Lord and Savior, would you rejoice and try to convince loved ones to accept Him, before he returns?

2) If you're an Atheist, would you continue with your belief that Jesus is fake, and God simply doesn't exist, or would you repent and accept Him as your Lord and Savior?

Please answer one of the two questions above, and also, please respond honestly. I'm just wandering...

My answer is to question #1.

I am a believer in Christ, and I've accepted Him as my Lord and Savior, so if we knew Jesus' return was tomorrow at 3pm. I would nag my unbelieving family and friends to accept Him, and with the news of his return, I am SURE they'd be receptive and falling to their faces repenting!

So, what about you?

I have emphasized a portion of your OP.

If I knew, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that christianity were true and the 2nd coming were absolutely, really going to happen... well, then I would not be an atheist. Of course I would repent, accept, all that other stuff.

I think that you have either phrased the question poorly, in that one cannot know that divine things are going to happen and still be an atheist. OR, you do not really understand what being an atheist means.

For the record, I am not denying god, or refusing to believe in him, or ignoring him. I honestly, truly, from the top of my head to the bottom of my feet, do not believe that he exists in any form whatsoever.

No, I don't think you were "thinking" because, if the world knew without a shadow of a doubt, that Jesus Christ was coming back to the physical world tomorrow at 3pm, there wouldn't be any atheists would there?

Great question - can't wait to read everyone's responses. Should be very enlightening, to say the least...

To answer question #1 -
Honestly, I would rejoice (my heart would leap out of my chest), but in my heart, would be much regret, as well. (heck, I have regret, even now - thanks for that Holy conviction)

I would regret all the times I could've been more bold and more of a reflection of Jesus. I would crumble because, knowing I don't deserve it at all, He's still coming for me. I would think of how much I have failed Him daily, yet in His awesome Grace, He still loves me and wants to take me home. I would have to fall on my face, before I convinced anyone to fall on theirs! But, then I would probably go crazy in making sure anyone I came across or knew, knew Jesus as Lord, too.

Wow, so why do I not care to make that a priority, now? Missed the mark, again.

Lord, fogive me and help me to be all that you have called me to be, to follow you and your example, to live my life according to your will, to get back to the Heart of the Father.
(Gosh, seems like I need to go fall on my face, now... 'til next time or 'til we meet in Heaven.... whichever comes first.)

What a great question!
In answer to #2...like others have said, I would probably fall down realizing that I really haven't done NEAR enough for Him. I would be spending part of the time praying and asking Him to SHOW me what HE wants me to do before He gets here. I would ask Him for guidance and direction and wisdom in who He would want me to be witnessing to and not...but I am sure my unsaved family members would be first...I think HE would want that as well.
However, the irony in the question is:
If I KNEW that He was coming...would that mean EVERYONE (believers and NON-believers alike) would KNOW He is coming? If yes, then I really wouldn't have to spend my time witnessing to others because I think it would go without saying that the non-believers would have a quick change of heart (except for maybe a select few that would probably even STILL DENY HIM). IF ONLY I (and other fellow Christians knew) He was coming...I think I/WE would still be in the same boat we are right now. If only the Christians knew He was coming tomorrow, it wouldn't be any different than KNOWING HE IS COMING SOMEDAY...the non-believers still wouldn't believe us anyway

But I can only imagine what it will be like when I walk by HIS side...

I think the question is a little unfair for atheists. You are taking into assumption that all of a sudden atheists had a wake up call that Jesus was coming and now you're asking us what we would do? Look, if some man in the sky starts talking to me, and I am not clinically insane, and he tells me that he is god and he is sending his son down tomorrow well than that gives me some pretty definitive proof that God exists.

That's all atheists really want is proof that God exists scientifically. Most of us know what the Bible says; but as I said in another post "It's like reading "Othello" or "Hamlet". It's just a work of fiction to us. Prove to us scientifically or physically that God exists and you'll have yourself a believer. So, to answer your question, I would be a believer yes. But, it's going to take something a lot more definitive than someone shouting verses from the bible.

Answer to question #1 I'm ready not matter what the hour or day. But I don't think I'd nag anyone, if I haven't already said enough by now to the people I know and love, it wouldn't make any difference.
