Well this is an interesting topic indeed. The return of Christ, in reading this topic I see that not only has someone said the year
2012 but someone else actually knows the EXACT day. Quite hilarious really when the BIBLE CLEARLY states that NOT even the SON knows the day he will return. funny how a bunch of imperfect humans who can't even agree on how they were created or even know what's going to happen a week from now know exactly to the DAY when
Jesus will return for us.. It sounds plausable.
This is the first I've ever heard about America being part of the 12 tribles, if I can remember correctly America was discovered what a few hundred years ago?
Jesus' time was when? I think a long time before hand. That's like saying
Jesus will only come to Australia because we have a church. I'd like to share with you a very important verse, “For who ever believes in me will not perish but have eternal life” John 3:16 It's not about acting good, looking good or being good. In the bible
Jesus groups all sin together, sin is sin, it is not measured. So in saying that we are ALL as imperfect as each other.. regardless of whether we go to church pray all day and sing beautiful harmony songs like “amazing grace” In all honesty… When
Jesus comes back on his cloud (cloud is used as a depicture or description.. Revelations is not an EXACT to the last detail account to how the second coming will happen but is a guide to prepare us) he won't bring nukes, for why would he use flawed human materials? He won't bring “Other nasty weapons” for how is a
God of Love lovely with nasty weapons?
Jesus will come back, not with a gun, not with a bomb, not with a knife, but with the truth! The power of Christ. He will not look at your outside and say “You went to church every sabath, come with me… No he will say “You went to every sabath but you never gave your full self to me in faith.”
Jesus doesn't want a perfect image, he doesn't want someone who can look good and say all the right things at all the right times. Look at the parasphies?
Jesus attacked them more than ANYONE else in his entire lifes work. Why? Because they said they were one thing but were another!
Jesus doesn't want your religious behaviour, he doesn't want your greatest performance, he wants YOU! Who gets the glory if you look like a
Christian? YOU!
God doesn't want that,
God wants you to give HIM glory and you can ONLY do that by giving your life to Christ, not just your image! Let me just show you how ridiculous this idea of knowing when he is coming back is: One of you mentioned that as of the day that the pope stepped into America there would only be 1260 days left… Now let me say.. Do you really think
God would allow this? Because if this was the case, we could just forbid the pope from ever going to America and keep the world going forever right? That right there says WE have the control when WE don't! People have been saying for hundreds of years,
Jesus is coming now because life is just so bad, world war 1 and 2 for instance.. but hey 70 years later we're still here!
Jesus will come when he is called to by
God and that will be in
God's own time… in Mathew chapter 6 it says “Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to their life?” So who are we to think by doing anything we can shorten the time in which we next see
Jesus on earth?
