  • How soon is Christ coming again?

    The other thread inspired this, but I think it deserves its own space for a poll. I'm interested in knowing the feeling of Christians on this board as to when Christ the Saviour (as believed in by Christians) is coming back to Earth.

    Note that this is just to be an estimate, not necessarily arrived at in any methodical, millenarianist or prophetic way.

    More of a Taoist, I am.

    I do believe that Jesus of Nazareth was a real person whose teachings Christians follow ( <- verb used lightly in many cases). To me, it doesn't matter whether or not He was the son of God or simply the son of a carpenter, that isn't the point. The Message, not the messenger, is what matters. He did make a promise to return one day...

    ...I do believe that someone will come along one day who will inspire the masses, much as Jesus once did, and be proclaimed by many to be the Second Coming. Again, lineage isn't the point. It's the Message that matters...

      Indeed it's all about the messenger.

      I'll say we are not far, considering that more Christians have been killed in the last 100 years, then in all of the previous centuries combined.

      ...I do believe that someone will come along one day who will inspire the masses, much as Jesus once did, and be proclaimed by many to be the Second Coming.
      And you'd be right.

      I say 100 years, but a monkey would make as good a guess as I.

        He's here now. We're playing "Grand Theft Auto." Not surprisingly, I'm kicking his ass.

            He'll return...

            ...in 2 days, 4 hours, 23 minutes and 45 seconds...
            This space is empty... or is it?

                Christ returns as a Jew?

                    I can't say when Jesus comes back.
                    I think the apocalypse might start in 17 years though. (which is not the same as the returning of Christ)

                    That means huge wars, persecution of christians and the death of 1/3th of the world population.
                    Attack on Israel by surrounding nations.

                    I think it'll be started by a few huge terror acts that will make the world-opion turn against 'fundamentalists' in general.

                      Doh. You thought Rabbi Yehoshua is a Christian?
                      I never should've trusted that neurotic what's his name, Saul, Paul, he kept changing names all the time.

                          If he's got good enough fluffers he can be back in action 10 minutes after the last pop shot.

                            I was looking forward to some tasteless remarks on this thread, but I truly never saw that...er...coming. Well done, sir!
