1 | What if Jesus was born in 1971? | Matt 22:42 | Aixen7z4 | 115229 | ||
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? |

I think a better question would be, "what if Jesus was born in 2971?" This lends itself to even more wonder and speculation. What kind of treatment would he get (if anyone noticed he was there)? How would they plan to proclaim the gospel: his death (if it was still beneficial), his burial (if it was still possible), and his resurrection (if it was still necessary). If this is too easy, we can bump it up to 3971. What do you think? | ||||||

My dear young brother (Sorry, but I have been serving the Lord for twice as long as you've been born!) I just had to read your bio. Nothing that you submit to this forum will be without study or prayer, huh? Including that last one? I may be paranoid, my friend, but this is sad. I may be delusional as well, but there is a spirit on this forum striving against the Gospel. You will be encouraged by those who jeer, and will not allow a challenge to consider the living Christ to stand. I had thought that the movie The Passion of the Christ would facilitate this. But you would turn it into a farce. Bump it up to 3971, my friend, and sleep well. And may the Lord have mercy on us all. |

Aixen, I don't understand why you are having such difficulty with my comments. I regret nothing, and I truly think that my comments would serve you well if you took them to heart. I have pondered your questions, I have reviewed all of your notes, and the conclusion that I came to was my previous note, which you took as a joke. I am delighted that you take such pride in your eldership over me, I thank you for your encouragement and guidance in this matter. I see no value to the questions that you submit, nor do I see the value in continuing on in this manner with you. You are my brother, and we will be spending a lot of time together in heaven. I don't want to have these comments hanging over our heads while praising God then. Can you just accept the fact that the majority of the people here neither understand, nor grant significance to your questions? Call it immaturity or heresy or whatever you wish. You can even consider my comments to be useless and prayerless. That's great. But please, lower the level of maturity so that I can at least participate in something beneficial for my growth in the Lord. I am new to this forum. I do not wish to gain a reputation of heartless debate and harsh refutes. I apologise for presenting my thoughts in a manner that you took to be argumentative and belittling. Let's forget this and move to a different stage of conversation. ischus |

ischus, may God bless you. I respond here to your posts above and below. If we ever meet again, whether in person, in Cyberspace, or in heaven, I hope to greet you as my brother. We all offend in many ways, especially in word. I also ask and grant forgiveness. Until next time, I will be mindful of this and offer it for our consideration, finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing. |

Brother Aixen, it is good to hear from you. I felt very bad about my comments as I went to bed last night, and could not sleep with the burden that the Spirit was putting on me- that I had not honored God with my words, and offended my brother in Christ. I am truly glad for our reconciliation and look forward to many more conversations with you! God Bless! ischus |
