If Christ returned, what would he do?

Sarcasm.

It sounds appalling.

I know who you are and of your lack of faith...
yet unknowingly you glorified him by stating the truth...
So I gave you some sarcasm back....

Kind of hard to glorify something you do not believe in. Especially when you did not mean it.

And yet you did...

1.) He would be the same Jesus.
2.) He would be from the poor/middle class
3.) It would be kept secret. There is no need to disturb modern peaceful progress.
4.) He would work alone, he left old Jewish traditions. John the Baptist who was Elijah, but in a different human body. Jesus taught Spiritual development. Luke 17:21 and Mathew 6:22.
5.) His life wouldn't be in danger if nobody knew who he was. His life is in secret.
6.) He would have super powers but would be the same if not more than modern humans. John 10:34 and John 14:12
7.) He would spend it as an observer seeing how humans are getting along. He wouldn't want to interfere with human relations as that would mean a demand of his powers while humans become lazy and not progress on their own. This is happening at a spiritual level within the churches. They invoke fear and obedience to God while twisting Jesus's words. He never came to help people or save anybody. What are they to be saved from? He came to show us, we are capable of becoming like him. Most believe what are told by the authorities in church and therefore never progress spiritually. I feel bad for them.
8.)he would agree to an extent but the way it's taught, he would disagree.
9.)he would be Carmel skin, dark brown or black hair, brown eyes, from middle east.

10.) The answers given by members above mine are like what I said earlier. Barely any progress to use their imagination.

Hail Cthulhu. May his insanity override the insanity of Christ.

How did I do there?

If the real Jesus Christ were to stand up today
He'd be gunned down cold by the C.I.A
Oh, the lights that now burn brightest behind stained glass
Will cast the darkest shadows upon the human heart

The The - Armageddon Days Are Here (again)

Massive failure...
No big surprise...

He definitely would be put on the No Fly list.

The whole dogma is a massive failure.

Move to California, spark up a doob and go surfing.

Obviously

As for the arriving through clouds and gathering the saints part, everybody flies these days and those people he'd keep around would be saints.

It's not unreasonable to expect Jesus to come back as a multitude, delivering others from the evil ways they support directly and indirectly.

But to those of us who expect bill wallace to be ten feet tall and breathe fire, keep waiting I suppose?

You call an atheist belief system Dogma?
Stop derailing the thread because you are moved to wrath by the truth...

That's quite impossible to answer unless you assume a lot.

For example: you'd need to ASSUME that Jesus lived in the first place. The first written down accounts we have about his assumed live were written almost 60 years after his assumed crucifiction. Most of what is written down in the bible was of an even later date. Also, note that before Jesus was known there were similar stories about the "Son of God" born out of a virgin etc. - so, perhaps the Christians merely used the existing folklore to project their "saviour" on. So, it's vague if he existed or not.

But let's ASSUME he existed (most scholars do). Then let's ASSUME he did walk the Earth roughly 2000 years ago. As a human. And he died. And then came back - do you ASSUME reincarnation? If so, he'd probably be just born, ignorant, then grow up and have a life, then die again. We normally do not remember our past lives (if that is possible at all).

There are exceptions, and some convincing cases exist that strongly suggest that reincarnation might exist (either that or some sort of collective memory that some can tap in to). So, let's ASSUME a bit more - say we have this man "Jones" and he recalls having lived as Jesus.

He would be ignored, labeled a fruitcake. Only the very gullible would believe him.

So, if Jesus would return as a human being, it would go unnoticed. There are thousands that think they are a reincarnation of Napoleon, Alexander the Great, some Egyptian king or Jesus. We simply ignore them.

First and foremost, he would burn all of these mega-churches down.

No, the mythology of Christ's divinity is dogma.

He'd give a good kicking to a load of people and dragons and stuff and then he'd tear all the photons from under the electron firmament and seperate the light from darkness once and for all.

Or he'd go on and on about loving your neighbnours ass or something.

Jesus is an archetype from a metaphysical science that deals with clearing up the veils that keep people from reality.

Jesus IS NOT a personality as the guy who walked on the earth 2000 years ago...that's a temporal human being.

It’s the archetype that’s divine not the personality.

Because the archetype, Christ and the name Jesus, is a prescribed metaphysical antidote for spiritual BLINDNESS it will operate ONLY to dispel spiritual darkness.

Therefore if that spiritual archetype returns it will try to illuminate the darkness to light as through various means at its disposal.


All these ancient teachers were archetypal sciences to do similar; Muhammad, Buddha, Abraham, Krishna, etc., and all the others operate on the same principle.


The literal science of the Christ (Archetype) is too complex to go into on this forum at this time

Burn it all to the ground. You can't fix stupid.

He would look around, see whats going on, and immediately issue a recall.


... and on the 8th day God created a magical unicorn and forgot about us.

First he has to figure out himself and purpose for being here, then he has to make the decision on whether to destroy or save humanity. He would judge people based on how they treated him in life. He would look at how people have abused his name and image, he would see how many have lost respect for God. He would see how many have justified their sins by using his image as a shield rather than living his teachings. He would have been faced with unique life experiences which were necessary to allow for his enlightenment. He would prove to all the evil men of Earth that he himself was able to overcome the beast and reach enlightenment through the mortal life of a man. Only the humble man shall pass. Who is more humble than the man to know himself as Lord and choose to hide this power till humanities darkest hour.... to truly see who are his children and who maintained true faith. Bible thumpers need not apply. Bottom line, he's gonna be pissed and no one can stop him.
