1). When will you know of Jesus's return? How will you be able to tell?
2). Why didn't Jesus show himself to the billions of people that haven't been introduced to his teachings, or touched by his spirit?
3). Why did Jesus say this in Mathew 21:21 "Then Jesus told them, "I tell you the truth, if you have faith and don't doubt, you can do things like this and much more. You can even say to this mountain, 'May you be lifted up and thrown into the sea,' and it will happen."
4). When the spirits came to Peter, if you lived in that time, would you claim they were evil spirits if Peter wrote a thread about it?

Let me ask you a question for once.
How do you talk and get in contact with these spirits?

Jesus will not return until it does. In fact, the Bible told us that angels would be bringing us the gospel themselves during the end of times before the finale.
But it does NOT say that the gospel would be a new or changed one.

Who cares if they were so-called "evil" before? Was it not Jesus who redeemed the other man on the cross?
That's the key. JESUS. The OP worships another god and admitted it.
Jesus will come as a powerful force. The Bible says he'll light up the sky from the east to the west, there will be thundering, trumpeting and he'll split the Mount of Olives in two.
I honestly don't believe that there are billions of people left who aren't familiar with or have heard the message. If they were meant to follow it, God would make sure they had access to it through the power of the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit only.
Faith in what? Do you think that means you can develop these powers through faith in any god out there?
Remember the Bible tells us not to seek out spirits, mediums or practice divination. Misuse of all of these things were only part of the reason why the flood came along in the first place to put an end to it.

Born of Sin is right about one thing. There will be a coming war of false prophets. I believe that war has already started with all of the mixed "truths" and half-truths coming from spirits and dark entities (disguised as light entities) that we're witnessing right here on ATS on a regular basis.
We are not humans having a spiritual experience, we are spirits having a human experience.
What about the Sir Lankon tribe that was previously unknown to civilization before the great tsunami and were all killed? They didn't have a chance to know of Jesus, are they doomed too?
But does it say somewhere that it should not be changed? Show me if so.
Where does it say that he worships someone?
So if Jesus can redeem someone then so could you or I, no?
How can Jesus light up all of the skies at the same time as you have said? You realize the Earth is round, right? A powerful force? What does that mean to you?
Who's talking about any god out there? Jesus is saying these powers are up for grabs. That in itself is the meat of this thread.

Really? You truly believe that if an indonesian man accidently type christ in google instead of chutney and the read a story of Jesus Christ and they don't convert then they are doomed? That is unrealistic to anyones standards.

Do you see the wrong on this perspective?
You need to come to the realization that religion is cultural, every culture has their Jesus, and ours is most popular because of Western Civilization.
I know it is hard to accept. I lived it to.
I finally came to the conclusion that I was taught only a portion of the truth, and then taught even harder that I should guard that portion with my existence and forbid anything to enter.
All you are doing now is instinctually defending that portion my friend.
