Quoting: Anonymous Coward 23058480 I'm pretty sure that none would stand chance among you , neither Jesus, John or any of the famous Prophets.. anyone..not one :) In old age most of people were simply illiterate. They did not know much stuff.. But they knew how to listen and then write or tell what they heard or witnessed. That is how Gospels ( Good News ) are created as none is written by Jesus. Nowadays.. ahah.. I could easily see Jesus coming among you people trying to tell you something.. aah he would not stand a chance.. it would not be 20 sec and you would all overwhelm him with your "knowledge and wisdom".. :) The conflict between fact and fiction can overwhelm, I understand AC. One of the wisest sayings I've heard, and I think might be attributed to Socrates, is that "I know that I don't know." Once I came to that realization, that's when it all started for me. I know certain things, but in the end, I simply don't know. I am a disciple of my mind. |

It says something about many will come as false prophets so when Jesus does come no one will open their door to him. I do not think Any Book with it's contents can be blamed for fallen Spirit of Man in general. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 20541213 LOL dear Keep2, "The Church", the RCC gave you your Bible, deny this and you're already wrong on a basic. Read history. Christiantiy did not begin in 1517. The Bible didn't drop from Heaven complete. Everything you know of Christ came from the RCC, less the prophecies about Our Lord in the Old Testament. Koffee isn't replying, I'll ask you. Which Protestant sect out of 30,000 plus is Our Lord coming back to reveal is His true Church? Why return if to believe as you wish is quite fine with Our Lord. LOL? You think this is funny? Or are you laughing at me for not accepting RCC teachings? That's no way to conduct a rational discussion. YOUR "church" preserved some manuscripts, burnt others, and tortured and killed people who tried to put the Bible in the vernacular so ordinary people could read it for themselves. If you're proud of that legacy, we have nothing to discuss. I can understand fully why Koffee isn't responding. But since this is all too funny in your eyes, I'll "humor" you this once. Jesus will return for his Bride, composed of ALL who have the Holy Spirit, regardless of what petty or significant disagreements they may have with each other. Haven't you ever wondered what Judgment Day is for, if not to sort out all the secondary issues? God will untangle all the knots. And if you think the RCC is going to slide right in, in spite of its haughty attitude toward all other followers of Jesus, you're in for a big surprise.

But look at how corrupted many of the 'middlemen of God' (clergy, etc.) have acted in these last few decades, where things have become harder to hide. There is no need for a middleman really, yet for 2000 years, middlemen were essentially 'God' to most people and that kind of power over people is how these groups thrive. They are men, not Gods. You cannot go wrong when it's you and God and no one in between.
