I think we can safely translate "when pigs fly..." to "when woo woos* fly..."

woo woo = evangelical

Well, why not? He's a spirit, just as all the rest of them are who live in the spirit world and have been communicating with humans ever since the first one passed over.

And the fact that what he says is so cool... it makes your heart melt.

Would any of you biblers even know when Jesus returns since none of you have met Him in person? What does He sound like when He talks? What does He look like? If you did meet Him and He told you something contradictory to the bible, would you believe Him?

There will be no trumpets or horns or thunder as Jesus has already been here for the second coming. Guess you all were sleeping and now, seems you don't want to know what He has taught the very one's who actually do know Him and listen to His teachings. You want to hide behind a book and claim it's from God when you can't even prove that. I bet the air is real stuffy where you are.

Did you know that Jesus teaches the Divine Love Christians the very same thing that He taught the Apostles? Of course it's not in the bible so it must not be true, according to you guys.

How is his post NOT an attempt to hijack the thread?


Th op didn't ask if Jesus exists. He assumed the affirmative and the poster attempted to sidetrack it.

If only believers comments are acceptable then this thread is in the wrong place...It would better suit the Christianity forum.

Wrong.

Jesus fulfilled the Messianic prophecies when we proclaimed to the world the good news about God's Divine Love. The fact that he was murdered before he was able to share it with a lot more human beings is the extremely sad thing here.

But he is back... make no mistake about it.

And there will be no Kingdom of Heaven on earth, as Jesus' Kingdom is in the spirit world... the world where we will all be living... eventually.

And Jesus has no intention of hurting anyone... you are sadly mistaken and the sooner you get that erroneous thought out of your mind, the better it will be not only for your soul, but for the souls of others, who may believe in such nonsense.

Sorry fella, I'm talking tongue in cheek here. I don't believe a word of it. Though imo Judaism's basis in reality seems a bit more plausible than all that spirit nonsense. And I would take the Jews word for their messianic prophecies over some usurper's(Pagan takeover of the Judaic faith).

"Jesus did not fulfill the messianic prophecies.
What is the Messiah supposed to accomplish? The Bible says that he will:

A. Build the Third Temple (Ezekiel 37:26-28).

B. Gather all Jews back to the Land of Israel (Isaiah 43:5-6).

C. Usher in an era of world peace, and end all hatred, oppression, suffering and disease. As it says: "Nation shall not lift up sword against nation" neither shall man learn war anymore." (Isaiah 2:4)

D. Spread universal knowledge of the God of Israel, which will unite humanity as one. As it says: "God will being over all the world -- on that day, God will be One and His Name will be One" (Zechariah 14:9)

The historical fact is that Jesus fulfilled none of these messianic prophecies. Christians counter that Jesus will fulfill these in the Second Coming[A nice gigantic assumption], but Jewish sources show that the Messiah will fulfill the prophecies outright, and no concept of a second coming exists[Or would be necessary]."

So, do you have any evidence for your claims or am I supposed to take your word for it on blind faith?

God's Divine Love is the evidence.

It is the essence of God and when it comes into your soul by simply praying for it with all of your soul's longings... you become at-one with God.

See how simple it is?

Nothing else matters but this.

As always... you do not have to believe this information I'm sharing, you just need to be aware of it.
