This is written about Jesus Resurrection:
The New Testament explains that Jesus will return in the future to judge the living and the dead and to establish eternal peace.
There are several verses that refer to Jesus' return, including Matthew 16:24-28, Matthew 24, Matthew 25:31-46, Mark 8:34-9:1, Mark 13, Luke 9:23-27, Luke 17:20-37, Luke 21:5-38; John 6:39-40, and John 14:3.
In Matthew 16:27, Jesus is quoted as saying that the "Son of Man is going to come in his Father's glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what he has done."
The book of Matthew, chapter 24, describes a series of signs that will occur before his return. We are told that all of these signs will manifest themselves during the span of a single generation: "This generation will not pass away until all these things have taken place" (Matthew 24:34).
But we don't know which generation that will be.
In Mark 13:32, we are told that "No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father."
There has been a great deal of speculation as to whether we are presently living in the generation that will witness all of the signs described in Matthew 24. Many people have tried to predict when Jesus will return only to be proven wrong. The Bible warns us not to worry and reminds us to be prepared, spiritually. For believers, Jesus' return will be a glorious event.
As a non-believer I don't think that the above statement is true, obviously, but let's for arguments sake say it's true....Then what ?? I have some questions for you Jesus (maybe someone on this forum can answers some of the below questions as well when looking at christian scriptures).
1. Will you stay on this earth now or will you leave. Will you allow people to ask you questions, for example people from other religions who have a totally different God.
I guess if he comes back the word will spread and people will find out that he is here on earth. I don't understand why he would only show himself only to a few people...Why has he waited close to 2,000 years to do this and the clock is ticking...where are you? Are you going to give me the explanation "one second in gods eyes is 2000 years on earth" or something similar. To Christians credit I can tell you that none of the other Gods (2,500 according to studies) in the other religions have showed themselves either. All religions follow the same path:
1. God appears for some people and a religion starts
2. He makes some miracles and holy scriptures are written about the God or person in question
3. After this the God is never seen or heard from again
It is interesting that no other gods have appeared. None of the 2,500 Gods except for in the beginning of the religion in question (meaning all of them). I hope you see the pattern here. For me the answer is simple...No Gods exist....period...end of story....
2. There are a little more than 10,000 religions on this earth....are the other 9,999 all wrong?
This falls in into the unique category that the other 9,999 religions also fall under. Each think that they are correct. They all think that they are so unique and have the right answers. Do you at least acknowledge that there are thousands of different religions who are as passionate, think they are correct, are as sure about their religion as you are about yours? They argue the same way as you do for their religion.. Do you at least acknowledge this? You (christianity) are not unique in any way shape or form....But I bet that you think you are unique....right?
3. There are thousands of different views within Christianity which contradicts each other on many views (for example...Mormons, Jehovah's witness and many more).
Which nomination of the thousands is actually correct. Protestants? Catholics? Orthodox? Mormons? Baptists? Jehovah's Witness? There are actually 32,000 according to studies...are 31,999 false and one is true?
Which of the different christian denominations is correct. I guess everyone will say their own. I can give you a list of the different views the above nominations have and they are different trust me. Basically the only thing they have in common is that they believe in Jesus then the rest is so much diffrent. Where did all these differences come from????..Which one is correct or are all of them correct according to you. Do you agree with the views of Jehovah's witness and the Mormons for example. If not, which one is the correct one. They say totally different things on many important things..which one is correct? Protestants? Catholics? Orthodox? Mormons? Baptists? Jehovah's Witness? Any other one? Please be specific and no general answer which you did the first time around....
4. What have you been doing since you appeared last time?
Have you been up in the sky. Did youtake a spiritual form?
5. Can you perform a miracle as you did last time to prove yourself?
Does this mean that you will perform a miracle when you resurrect? I guess you will only do it to very few then right which we don't even know who they are. Will you also say that you don't want to prove or "show anything" which is probably the answer I will get.
6. Which languages do you speak and which one should we talk to you in?
Can you speak all languages on earth....after all you are the one who created us all.
if would can take a do a IQ test if he can speak all languages on earth that some people say you can.
7. Is evolution a hoax and what is the evidence we have found so far. Is this just made up (for example the skulls of neanderthals, Homo habilis, Homo erectus etc.)
Lets gather a lot of scientists from all over the world and have them bring all the evidence we have so far so you can debunk them. Will you only show yourself to a chosen few and then is not interested in not "showing anything" ehich I think you will answer.
8. How did all animals get on Noah's Ark. I mean the number are in the thousands and there are many big ones (hundreds of different dinosaurs for example).
9. How old is the earth?
When we have found evidence that it is around 4,5 billion years old is this totally rubbish...? Please be specific how old the earth is in our 365 day a year calendar.
10. Do you have any thoughts or views what is the best for a society? Capitalism? Socialism? Communism?
Will you say that you don't have any opinions?
11. If Adam & Eve were of one particular human race..How can we have different ones (Asian, Caucasian, Native people, Africans etc.) if not thru evolution.
Were all Humans races (Asian, Caucasian, Native people, Africans etc.) put on different parts of the world in which they are found today. How were the different human races were created?
12. The scientist say that there are about 200 Billion Galaxies out there and each galaxy has around 100 billion stars. Jesus, how close were the scientists in calculating this number. After all, you created it you should know the exact number.
13. Thousands of groups have predicted that you would come back on a specific date but the thing all these group shave in common is that they have all been wrong. Where did they get this information from?
14. Thousands of groups have predicted the end of the world on a specific date but the thing all these group have in common is that they have all been wrong. Where did they get this information from?
15. What do you think about Scientology. Be honest now Jesus.
These questions are just a few ..I have many more that I would like to ask you. Jesus, can you answer them (or anyone on this forum for that matter)...
