2 | Who do you believe about Jesus? | Matt 22:42 | khuck | 105062 | ||
Hi Kalos :) I Believe God! Matthew 3:16-17 As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and lighting on him. And a voice from heaven said, "This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased." I Believe Jesus! Rev 1:8 "I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty." Of course I believe the prophets and the apostles and those called by God, today as well as yesterday, they fill in the story line and the Spirit working within them that caused them to share the word, only confirms within Me that God is the Truth in Christ. And the Word given by the Spirit of God, whether given today or 3000 yrs from this day, will never change. IMHO... just my thoughts -Kathy |

3 | What if Jesus was born in 1971? | Matt 22:42 | Aixen7z4 | 115108 | ||
What would have happened if Jesus had been born in 1971? My point is, to get to it, that his passion would be happening right about now. He would have been despised and rejected of men. He would have been put to grief. They would have crucified him. The fantastic fact is, it would have been the religious leaders who would have called for his death. They’d want his religion, but not him. They would have read the prophecies of his coming and would have been discussing and debating it. But when he arrived they would not have recognized him or accepted him. Perhaps that is why he will not arrive the second time the same way. In any case he is not coming back to die, but to reign. But I wonder if we accept him these days, when he comes to the door and knocks, as in Revelation 3:20. I wonder if he is not knocking now, using a stick labeled “The Passion of the Christ”. We can talk about that stick, and we can debate whether or not it is a stick. But do we open the door when he knocks? To get back to the original question: Can you imagine what would happen if Jesus were here in the flesh today, and about 33 years of age? If I may, I would suggest it would give rise to other questions. What kind of treatment would he get? And how would we record and explain and exploit and publicize the public beating? What would it be like if Jesus were here in the body in 2004? Would he not have been treated the same way? And how would we plan now to proclaim the Gospel: his death and burial and resurrection, the demand for repentance and his offer of forgiveness? |

Scripture ... Isa 52:13-53:12 ................ It aould be no different - He would be treated the same way, because of man ... and prophecy. He is even disgregarded by the world today, even spat upon, vilified. Many Christians do not understand His suffering and passion for us, as sinners. |
