Recently read another thread where the OP claims that the recent Newtown shooting may have been a modern day equivalent of the tale of King Herald.
This has got me thinking. Supposing the Messiah is amongst us. Would he or SHE even know? Perhaps they have to follow some spiritual awakening, or even if they did know, would they be likely to be declared insane and spend their life in some psychiatric hospital.
Basically, what kind of signs do you think that Jesus should look for to know if they are Jesus. Don't worry, I am under no delusion about being Jesus, just thought it is kind of interesting. Maybe someone knows someone else who might be Jesus and needs telling so that they can become the Messiah and save us all.
Basically, what kind of signs do you think that Jesus should look for to know if they are Jesus. I've given this profound question a lot of thought...
The answer: Family and Personal reflection.
1. Was my father a narcissistic tyrant that demanded praise and worship..?

Yeah, that tends to happen when you have unbelievers and muslims poking around in a book they are not meant to understand. Even some christians who deny the jewishness of christianity and where we come from and claiming that the OT is obsolete, completely miss the mark on the allegorical, and then you have the gnostics.

maybe christians should decide which bits of the bible are serious and which bits are not (maybe a little smiley face next to the bits we are supposed to take seriously or something)
Just know God loves everyone, we need to start caring more about people than we do about our bills and such. We would have less crime and murder. But that means we would have to break out logical minds to break our man made system and start listening to our creators which is a hard thing to do especially when in America/westernized places religion is not "cool" who knows I'm probably crazy.

Revelation 19:15
And out of his mouth goes forth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations
So maybe look for some kind of sword tongue attachment thingy
