What would you say to Jesus if you met him?

i wouldnt be able to speak, i think...

If Jesus were alive and I were to meet him, I would ask him if he had ever fallen in love with a girl when he was a teenager. The bible never mentions his adolescent life.

I would say nothing, waiting for Him to welcome me in, fearing he might send me away, saying "You built your life on works and knowledge, not faith." THen I would say His will is right, for only GOd knows the hearts of man (and women)

Then I would say thank you and head into His eternal courts and praise Him, like I have never praised Him before. :idea:

Jesus does have a sister, several in fact... In Mark 6:3 the people of Nazareth are asking who Jesus is "Isn't this the carpenter? Isn't this Mary's son and the brother of James, Joseph,[ Judas and Simon? Aren't his sisters here with us?"..."

So it names His brothers and mentions the existence of at least 2 sisters!

Where did he say he would return in their lifetime???

In Mark9:1 Jesus says, "I tell you the truth, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God come with power."

This is true...the kingdom of God came at his resurrection. And most (all but Judas Iscariot) of His disciples along with many other people saw this during their lifetimes as they themselves went out and preached and healed.


Also the gospels do not contradict each other... the seeming contradictions come from different human authors telling the parts they think are most important in their own linguistic styles.

where does it say that?



Wasn't there a verse somewhere that talked about great beasts that walked the earth but were killed in the flood? I thought I read it years ago, but now I can't seem to find it.

Actually they were created with other land animals the same day as Adam and Eve...

Here are the verses if you want to check it up:

"His eyes [were] as a flame of fire, and on His head [were] many crowns; and He had a name written, that no man knew, but He himself. " Revelations 19:12

" Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of [things] in heaven, and [things] in earth, and [things] under the earth; And [that] every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ [is] Lord, to the glory of God the Father." Philippians 2:10-11

That's when you FIRST see Him, in heaven, you'd probably get to ask Him other things.

You poor unbelieving people... How God loves you and longs for you to understand His perfect ways... If you would but repent...

"He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose." -Jim Elliot, Christian missionary and martyr for the cause

All of us are going to die someday, that's a fact... and who can say exactly what happens in the moments after death... but, I would rather believe wholeheartedly in a God that does not exist, that to deny one that does.

I pray for you all... those of you who know the truth, please do the same... for how our world could change if all of us who say we are sons and daughters of CHrist, would but obey our father... we are called to bring others to Him and to crucify our sins, not to sin and expect him to forgive us when we do nothing.

My heart cries out for you all...Praise be to the Father, His Son, and the Holy Spirit

Since you have already been to hell, would you feel outraged, if I sent you back?

If one leads a moral life without following a religion, surely there is no need to fear death? As said Isaac Asimov, "I don't believe in an afterlife, so I don't have to spend my whole life fearing hell, or fearing heaven even more. For whatever the tortures of hell, I think the boredom of heaven would be even worse." :) His last words were something similar, "Although the time of death is approaching me, I am not afraid of dying and going to Hell or (what would be considerably worse) going to the popularized version of Heaven. I expect death to be nothingness and, for removing me from all possible fears of death, I am thankful to atheism. "

But who knows the truth? And after all, what is truth? Remember the Bible story that states that someone asked "what is truth" and even Jesus didn't dare answer...

Quote:

In general, on the simple account, truth - unlike beauty, in some people's view - does not lie in the eye of the beholder. Nor does it lie in the beliefs of a believer, or in whether or not we know what the facts are. Believing something to be true does not make it true, for beliefs themselves can be false as well as true.

Who is to say that God has not got an infinity of endlessly creative and effervescent spatial and intergalactic opportunities for all of us.... you who would constrain God to the popularly conceived image are so damned short-sighted that it is no wonder that you are ultimately going to be DAMNED! :rage:

Religion is absurd, since nobody can work out (even only in his mind) an experience demonstrating God's non existence, we understand how this notion is logically meaningless.
On the other hand if one says "iron can float on water" I can think of a way to demonstrate that it's false, and then put it into practice.
Moreover, if you say "Jupiter has a mass of x kg" I can find an experiment, even though I were not capable of doing.
Whereas, if you say, "electrons have an inner structure" I cannot think of an experiment, neither could I do it.
So, believing that, is absurd.

I am humble, man can only rely on his logic skills, so religion is absurd.

Anyway I'll show you what Leopardi thought of the "new believers"

"Racquetatevi amici. A voi non tocca
Dell’umana miseria alcuna parte,
Chè misera non è la gente sciocca"

"Be calm, friends. Any part of human misery
is not for you
since foolish people are not miserable"

We understand what you are meaning in general, but...
...iron can actually float on water.
Surface tension, you know.

pi, you said it yourself,

"who can say exactly what happens".

Swiftsleigh,
"you who would constrain God to the popularly conceived image are so damned short-sighted that it is no wonder that you are ultimately going to be DAMNED!" is a little harsh.

Maxos, I have seen iron filings float on gasoline.

People please if you are going to denigrate certain beliefs or non-beliefs here this topic will have to be closed.

Why did you remove my latest post?

Inquisition ended long time ago.

Maxos, the Forum Rules have been here since the day you joined, maybe you just forgot to read them. :)
