New Jesus

    Say if someone thought they might be Jesus.

    Has performed a few feats (miracles if you will) in the past, Looks great in robes and sandals, Has spoken to the deity that is their biological father, all that sort of stuff.

    How would they know if they are new Jesus or are just mad?

    There would be a whole lot of egg on their face if they announced it and then suddenly it became apparent that they were just delusional.

    I'm asking for a friend.

    If they were Jesus, then they'd have holes in their hands and feet and a big gash on their ribs. No holes? Not Jesus.

    If they can perform miracles under scientific conditions.

    If they can instantly cure a cancer patient in a hospital for example, where an exam has just been done to prove the cancer isn't in remission and the patient hasn't done a load of cancer treatment. They do their miracle and the person is cured.

    That would go a long way.

    When Jesus DOES come the second time, it'll be a supernatural event, he'll float down from the sky type of thing. He wont be just walking around like a normal fella the way he was 2016 years ago.

    Wasn't Jesus meant to float back down from the sky in the year 2000? I suppose he's just fashionably late.

    An omnipotent being doesn't have concept of human time and space. I'm sure if Jesus comes to us again it'll be when the time is right and not according to a calendar entry.

    He should have a concept of human time and space considering he supposedly made both time and space, and humans. He also spent 30 years as a human, and considering he's planning out everything into the future he'd want to have a good grasp of it.

    I'm not. But I KNOW I'm going to die someday, and I'm pretty sure there will be some sort of assessment of my life by Jesus. My actions will then determine whether or not I get into Heaven.

    Do not mock. Every one of you will die aswell.

    What makes you so sure? What do you base that on? What about poor auld tribesmen in the Amazon that have never heard of Jesus? Fairly lucky of you to be born into the right religion wasn't it?!

    The Bible. Read it, THEN comment. Makes me laugh when people spout sh1te like experts when they havent been at Mass in years and never even read the Gospels.

    Its in the Bible- basically they're exempt, but they will still be judged on whether or not they were arseholes to other people.

    That would go a long way.

    And maybe cure the odd amputee here and there, and maybe go on to explain why an all powerful god who loves us would create a world with children's bone cancer.

    And why an all powerful god who wants us to worship him, would communicate through a 2000 year old book written in in ancient greek.

    - for starters :D

    You said you were fairly sure. I went with that as my reason for asking.

    The Bible. Read it, THEN comment. Makes me laugh when people spout sh1te like experts when they havent been at Mass in years and never even read the Gospels.

    Makes me laugh when people make assumptions about people they know nothing about. I was in Mass last Sunday as it happened, supervising people in my care. When the priest says ''the great mystery of this faith'' I can't help but laugh. That's basically saying it's all a bit wishy washy. Also, how do you know which branch of Christianity is correct? Catholic, Protestant, Jehovah's Witness, Mormons?

    Its in the Bible- basically they're exempt, but they will still be judged on whether or not they were arseholes to other people.

    Oh yes the Bible, the man made book of repute. If anyone wrote a new Gospel today they'd be considered an absolute mad man. If a woman said an angel got her up the duff, she'd be laughed at. Gas how none of these miracles happen in the age of the Smartphone isn't it!

    Well I'm going with Catholic, because its the original. The rest were made up afterwards.

    You're dead right its manmade, Jesus was a man! Christians were considered mad men those times too, nobody believed Mary and even aul Joe was going to fcuk her out.

    Look, I choose to believe, you dont have to, jog on.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,956 ✭✭✭✭Omackeral


    Ha ok. Tell Jesus I said hi when he returns from the dead again or seperates himself from being a weird trio with his own father and some holy ghost. Oh and tell him to tell his da to stop giving kids cancer. K Thanks bye

    You can tell him yourself when you meet him. Jesus didnt give cancer to kids, modern life which you helped create did - and he's gonna ask you what YOU did to prevent it?

    It gets better. They weren't married at the time, so Joe thought that he might be accused of raping her. If she wasnt leaving, then he would. He was getting ready to leggit. Different times, same problems.

    So the whole myth about the Catholic Church being anti-single mothers and anti-unmarried sex etc. is utter, utter, bollox. Usually espoused by those who know nothing about the church or the Bible. Jesus himself was born to an unmarried mother.

  • Registered Users Posts: 2,626 ✭✭✭Glenster


    This whole thing seems like its generating a lot of fuss, hes a pretty chill guy, he doesnt really do conflict.

    This might all be a bit much for him. I'll recommend that he lays low for a while and when he does come out as jesus I'll tell him to do the whole float from the sky thing if everyone thinks it will help.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,190 ✭✭✭✭Pherekydes


    Em, guys, we've already had the second coming. He died and two days later he rose from the dead. That's it. That's the whole shebang. No more coming back, especially after 2000 years.

    And he won't be judging anyone. He's dead.
