If this topic is taken to the next step, it'll just cause more problems. If the Hebrew GOD is only one in the long list of GODS that you believe is "right," then Jesus is the next topic to consider. Bottom line ... Jesus isn't coming back.
It's more like the jesus that's in the bible never was.
The bible jesus is not worth discussing.
According to studies done, he did exist. The info in the NT, whether people want to get into this or not, boils down to the fact he was supposed to return back in their day somewhere ... but it never happened. People have been reading a 1900+ year text of people talking to people 1900+ years ago, as if it's talking to them today. I don't particularly care if we skip it ... it's up to people here. Someone brought up talking about the paranormal and we can do that too. Or, just dump the whole thing ... it doesn't matter to me.
"...and I saw clearly that men are not so far from the truth as they generally believe. Their greatest error is in searching for it where it is not, and in attaching it to forms, whereas they ought, on the contrary, to avoid form in order to dwell upon the essence."
