Don't fret my friend, he had to pick up like 40,000 of his kids from soccer practice over in the andromeda galaxy.  He was also had to go over and kill a few billion first born children in the Pisces star cluster due to misbehavior.  He called me to say that he was running a little late.

Interesting point, but I thought the whole "second coming" was promised to the disciples AFTER the resurrection. In that case, no.

You would never get an honest answer from Bible or it's believers because this tale started 2000 years ago and now they are convenced. Do your own research because they lifted this story from vedic origins and changed it to serve their purpose over time.

The bible says that no one knows when. The number of the beast is 666, but that doesn’t necessarily mean today.\n\nIn Daniel, there are some unclear references to March 26 while discussing the end of times.\n\nIt could be today, it could be tomorrow, I don’t know. But I do know that whenever it is, when the Lord comes back, only the Christians are going. Everyone else gets to enjoy a nice little 7 years here on earth.\n\nSo, here, once again, is the message that has prevailed 2000 years:\nGET SAVED!!!!!!!!!

No one knows when the end of time will be, only God the Father does. The Bible says He will come like a thief in the night. It also states He will return at a time when we wouldn't think it would happen. That is why I try to point as mant people to Jesus as I can. Time is running out, we are one day closer to being"HOME." There is nothing in the Bible taht must be fulfilled in order for Jesus to return. We need to stop looking for signs, and start listening for the "sound". He shall appear with a mighty trumpet blast, and call His children home. As a Christian, I cannot wait...it's gonna be wonderful. I am worried about the lost, however. It's my sincere prayer that all will call upon the name of the Lord to be saved.

Well, what a special story. You set Christianity back at least 50  years.  I can picture the Christians rolling their eyes back now. LMAO.

Well all this bloodline business is pure speculation, however that Jesus was married to the Magdalene is more than speculation since we have evidence in the writings of the earliest christians. You are right to say the christians never thought Jesus was god and such ideas crept into christianity centuries later. Once the church voted on the divinity of Jesus, they picked & chose the writings which suited them (and it's interesting that even with all the picking & choosing the so-called NT still does not declare that Jesus is god). DC is simply stirring up the old issue again and people are sick & tired of churches dictating what god is. And no, the churches do not like people to go sniffing into the past.

Yes.  Christ resurrected so that we could all be resurrected.  If we're supposed to follow in his footsteps, isn't that the most important accomplishment on earth?

Yes to all your questions. It seems we have heard it forever that God will return for those who have made themselves ready. Will we hear it the next thousand years? Don't think so. All you have to do is look in Revelation and see this is truly the last days. All the old prophecies are almost totally fulfilled. The world is just about at the place when God will finish up and do what he said he would do. Most people either don't believe the end is almost here or don't wish to believe it. One day we will know for sure want we?

That depends on what the next two years brings.  The story isn't played out yet.\n\nYou know.... Jesus was crucified, dead, and buried.  Everyone thought it was over then...... but..... he rose again!\n\nSue

There is only one Christ Jesus.  \n\nWhen He comes again, and if you are still alive, you will recognise it.  You will know and you don't even need to doubt.  Because it is going to be so awesome.\n\nHis awesome return is the difference between the real and the fake.  A phenomenon men never experienced.\n@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

We are in day 7.  bottom line.\n\nIf a day equals 1000 years and 1000 years equals a day, then since Jesus rose from the dead on the third day, does this have significance for His Second Coming? \n\n Let's see some things that really do seem to have significance, first of all from Ha'aretz "Small Quake Hits Dead Sea; Experts: Big One On The Way." And from Templemount.org "Israeli President asks Vatican to Reveal List of Temple Treasures, Vessels and Judacia they Hold." \n\nI guess they had some things right there in the Vatican that they would like to know about and they would like to have. First of all,   \n\n the Rabbis said that there would only be seven days in world history because a day was like 1,000 years, Psalm 90:4, and it was patterned after creation. He created the world in six days, Genesis 1:31 and rested on the 7th day, Genesis 2:2. And since each day represents 1,000 years, and we Christians also set that according to II Peter 3:8, we then have four days of Old Testament time and three days of New Testament time for the total of 7000 years, So let's just deal with the three days of New Testament time. \n\nHere is proof that this is correct, Hosea 6, verse 2. The Jews didn't have their own land for a couple thousand years and they say after two days, 2,000 years, He'll revive us - that happened in 1948, almost after 2,000 years, then on the third day which just started in the last number of months, He will raise us up that we may live in his sight, the Jews are raised in Daniel 12, when the Messiah comes and sets his foot upon the earth. Now here are two exciting signs that , They're expecting the greatest earthquake ever and it's right there at the Dead Sea fault and when Jesus Christ returns His Feet hit the Mount of Olives and it splits down the center and they say, we are waiting for that big one and that could be the return of Christ. But the most exciting thing, beyond that, is that the Jews are asking for all of the things the Vatican has from the old temples. Why? Because they have built the replica of the exact temple 269,000 square feet by the dead sea! And they are putting everything in it and getting all the Cohen's. For they are the Levites, they're prepared to do sacrifice so that when the real one is built, the one in which antichrist sits, 2 Thessalonians 2:4 and says he's god, Daniel 11:36, it will be ready. It's that close. Then Christ comes and sits in it permanently. Ezekiel 40 to 44.

Jesus is not walking around today, He has not returned for his people.  If he were we would not be here on earth today.  As for the Anti-christ, who knows, they could be.  I agree that Jesus is disappointed with our world today, but as the end times come closer than things will get worse.

I think that Christ was a man with a historic mission.  He only had three years to accomplish his ministry.  Why would he slow himself down with a wife and passle of little dependents?  Why would He start a family to leave them widows and orphans?  If you believe that He was literally the Son of God, like I do, I don't think that God had grandchildren in mind when He sent Jesus on His mission.  Modern people are all so absorbed in romance that we have real trouble comprehending someone like Mother Terese or Pope John Paul who follow a spiritual calling and can do it without "significant others".  Long story short - Da Vinci code - Mary Magdelene was significant (and I think the church has sold women short) but Jesus' sexual consort - I'm not buying it. If Christ was the literal Son of God he had no need to procreate - He was a spiritual being not a Greek or ROman god.

As I understand that question...you are making a big mistake with the Person of Jesus. Jesus was just a man. a very advanced man in Evolution but just a man. God is never taking flesh. but there is something else who can take flesh and that is Christ. But Christ has also been in Moses, Zarathustra, Elias, and many others before...jesus is no exeption. And in future there will be thousands probably millions of people who can live in the consciousness of Christ. That is the reason why Jesus was here...but the so called christians did'nt understand that...since more than 2000 years...

While it is true there is no mention of Jesus marrying in the Bible, this doesn't mean that it is true. The Bible doesn't mention Christ's life between (roughly) the age of 12 and 30 - but we assume that he didn't skip over those years. (In fact, who is to say that that was the exact time that Jesus did have a family?)\n\nThe fact is, despite being 'the good word', religious texts (including The Bible) were written down, translated, and interpretted by humans. The words of the Supreme Being might be perfect, but humans are fallable. Things get lost in translation, people 'leave out' and edit something they don't believe sounds right (for the best, of course), and who knows what kind of 'Chinese whispers' have gone on when one human tells another human what is written or said. In the past, in the present, and in the future, literal translations of the Bible will cause as many crises of faith as it mends. (I fully realise that this is a huge discussion, and I have just attracted the anger of a LOT of people.) It doesn't make the Bible any more or less valid than it was at any other point in time (if you go for that kind of stuff), but it makes sense that it is a theological work that draws on 'historical' events rather than a literal account.\n\nThe works of Dan Brown are fiction in and of themselves. They do contain some thoughtful suppositions, and would encourage anyone (Christian or otherwise) to discuss the ideas proposed. Jesus Christ may have been the son of God, but he was also a man.\n\nDid Jesus Christ have any children? Maybe and maybe not. It's not like there is any evidence for or against.\n\n(If so,) are there offspring alive today? Well, after 2000 years, no not really. Two millenia is a long time to accurately trace ancestry, so any descendants would be just as related as any of us are to ancestors 2000 years removed....\n\n\n(For the record, I tend toward the agnostic/aetheist end of the scale.)
