I think that this guy must simply go around looking for strange shadows and then put them on youtube claiming all sorts.

I must admit that I can't make anything out in this one but perhaps Psalm23 can help us out here as he seems to be in the know.

It took me about 5 seconds to 'see' the face. Even if it is somone appearing, why does it have to be of Mary? Why not my dead Grandma or someone from another planet or dimension? I'm kidding of course...Tongue

Well, what is he waiting for? He has left generations waiting for nearly 2000 years for christ' sake. I want him on the nine o'clock news tomorrow with some mind baffling tricks and James Randi to check him out. He better be there or you'll end your slithering proselytizing forever!

Or, of course, you could get a grip on yourself and start living among the mortal in the real world.
Time's up and again nothing happened. How long shall we wait? Another 2000 years? Of course not! All this pile of crap on apparitions in shadows of trees, in molten wax, in vomit after a night bishop's wine, in bird droppings, in the crack in your ass, boils down to one thing only: the perverted urge for supernatural domination has taken hold of your sense of reality to a sickening degree. Get a life, get real, get an education and start doing something useful with your life.

if you want to get technical Jesus lied about his so called second coming. Luke 9:27

But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.


those guys are dead and still awaiting the kingdom of god.He never came back lol.

Any cell phone capable of interpreting its camera pictures is welcome to join this thread and comment about it. That would be most entertaining.

As for now, we may assume that all interpretation of images is done in human minds not in the camera. From science we know that human minds are good at pattern recognition and have specialised faculties for face recognition, so good even that the human mind tends to see faces even in places where there aren't any as you have clearly demonstrated. As any kid, who has ever been afraid in the dark, knows.

Furthermore the suggestion that this all-mighty all-knowing god would reveil himself through out of focus cell phone pictures of a streetside tree may be regarded as intellectual insult to most believers I know.

Actually Chatpilot, Jesus wasn't lying. He was refering to his transfiguration. This was a little 'preview' as well as an endorsement of his future glory which he will have when he returns to establish his kingdom.

So CR and Psalmy, if I claimed JC had found me over the xmas period, I had thought about particularly offensive to believers scenarios, but I'm attemptig to be generous, if I claimed JC found me, would you2 believe it or reject it?
HuhA man is born to a virgin mother, lives, dies, comes alive again and then disappears into the clouds to become his Dad. How likely is that?

Actually that is just a matter of interpretation like the rest of the bible.

No... He was refering to the "Kingdom of God", just as it states.

Any other passage where Jesus refers to the kingdom of God he is talking about heaven.

And Mark 9:1 hints at nothing of Kingdom of God meaning the 'transfiguration'. Matter of fact it eludes more to the "kingdom of God" (heaven) coming to the earth. "Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power." After that it speaks of his clothes turning white, a talking cloud looming overhead and some lessons from Jesus about cutting your hand off and plucking out your eye.

I maintain 'Kingdom of God" does NOT refer to white robes and talking clouds. It refers to (as it does everywhere else in the Bible) heaven. And since they will seeing it 'coming' that particular passage means God will be bringing paradise to earth and they will see it before they die.

Over 2000 years ago. God must have took a wrong turn at Albuquerque.
I used to tell a lot of religious jokes. Not any more, I'm a registered sects offender.

Yes, it is a matter of interpretation. Let's assume the whole 'Jesus Story' was made up. The people who were relaying (making up) these 'events' would surely not portray their 'god' as a liar? I have no problem with interpreting the transfiguration as a display of the coming Kingdom and its glory. Jesus had not yet died etc and another telling thing about the transfiguration 'story' is that Moses and Elijah 'appeared' with Jesus, which to mean is foretelling the resurrection, but I may be wrong. The whole thing may be rubbish but when I read the New Testament and particularly Jesus' words, there is nothing to indicate to me that he was a liar.

Bozo, I would be very intrigued if you claimed that JC had 'found you'. I would ask you all about it and I would understand that if this was real to you, then you would be bound to be affected by it and therefore act upon it. I have not had any kind of 'experience' so I am skeptical that these happen, but I certainly wouldn't reject out of hand what you were saying.

Dotard, 'the Kingdom of God' is a weighty topic of itself and a careful analysis of the NT shows that many things had to occur BEFORE the Kingdom of God becomes a reality ie a physical government with Jesus as the ruler. Lots of things had to happen via the Romans, the times of the Gentiles had to run their course, and the good news has to be preached in ALL THE NATIONS, which of course hadn't happened in the 1st Century. But you are entitled to your interpretation, as I am mine. I see no liar.
