Revealing When Christ Is Coming Back!

[lackeyk]

There are five reasons why Christ has to return:

(1) - Jesus must come back because of the promises of the Old Testament that have yet to be fulfilled. Scores of prophecies were fulfilled concerning His First Coming. But some prophecies still remain to be fulfilled. For example, the Scripture says, "The government shall be upon his shoulder. ... Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever."(Isaiah 9:6-7)

That Scripture has not been fulfilled. The government is not yet upon His shoulder.  Jesus did not bring world peace in His First Coming, nor did He bring world justice. But He will bring it the second time, because the Scripture teaches that all prophecies will be fulfilled. (Ezekiel 12:23-28).

In Micah the prophet says, "They shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more."(Micah 4:3) Consider the wars that are being fought now. Some day, however, people will make spears into pruninghooks, and nations will not lift up swords against nations. Why? Because the Prince of Peace is coming back--He's going to be the world ruler.

*(2) - Jesus Christ has to return because of His own statements. He is absolute truth. The Bible says, "For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be."(Matthew 24:27) This prophecy has yet to be fulfilled, but I believe it will be, because He said it.

Jesus didn't lie to us. He said, "I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also."(John 14:2-3) The Lord Jesus Himself is coming back! That's how much He loves us. He gives us a new life here, but He also has a great plan for the future. For eternity!

The Bible says that we are joint heirs with the Lord Jesus Christ and that we will spend eternity with Him. What is He doing now? He is preparing a home for us who love Him. It has been 2,000 years. What a home it must be!

*(3) - Jesus Christ must come back because of the present position of Satan. The devil is the most powerful being in all the world, except for God Himself. The Bible says that the devil is called "the god of this world."(2Corinthians 4:4) That means that he's the director of the false religions and philosophies of the world. Humanity is helpless before him. Mankind is unable to chain him. The churches cannot dethrone him. Legislation is impotent in dealing with the enormous power of evil in the world.

But let's not forget one fact. There is One who is more powerful than Satan is.This One defeated Satan 2,000 years ago on the cross. Satan suffered his greatest defeat at the cross and in the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ.

But the devil is still loose, still in charge of the evil that is in the world: All the  injustices, all the wars, all the crime, all the wickedness, all the terrible things, in the world.

There's only one Person in heaven or on earth who can deal with the devil, and He's coming back to throw Satan into the bottomless pit and ultimately into the lake of fire. Then we will be freed from this terrible pull of evil and the satanic power that has controlled the hearts of people for all these centuries. That's why Christ has to come. He's the only One who can deliver us. And the world is looking for a deliverer.

*(4) - Jesus Christ must return because of the present chaos in the world--our world is racked with pain, suffering, hunger, war, murder, lust, greed, hate, fraud, corruption. Human government seems to be unsuccessful in dealing with these problems. The world is becoming more and more helpless and hopeless in this technological age. Many sociologists and scientists believe we have the capability to destroy ourselves. And we can.

But the Scripture says, "Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompense; he will come and save you."(Isaiah 35:4) Jesus Christ will save us and set up His Kingdom of righteousness and glory and peace and justice. And what a world that's going to be! Will you be ready?

*(5) - Jesus Christ must come back because of the dead in Christ--those people who died believing in God and trusting Him. When Jesus comes back, there will be a great resurrection and the believers will be raised from the dead, and the believers who are alive will be caught up in the air to be with the Lord. (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17)

There are five reasons why Christ has to return:

On the contrary, religious speculations based upon superstitious blind faith have nothing whatsoever to do with "reason".  Reason involves logical/rational thought processes and valid evidence.  Religious speculations avoid logical/rational thought processes and eschew evidence, ("belief" being a contention which lacks substantive evidence).  'Biblical' hearsay does not constitute substantive evidence, especially when the source referenced claims the same source is its own basis, (an illogical and circular premise).

This is why i do not like to get involved with bible talk, even though i am a christian and believe in God and his word, but i do not have time to debate the word with people who don't believe in God or his word, because the battle over God word is not mines, it is the lord and he will reveal the truth to all human on earth, with his coming. I am just to spread his word as his humble servant, he said if i try to tell someone about him and his son and his word and they do not listen, not to be offended and brush it off and leave that house or that person and not go there anymore, and woe to that person who do not listen to that servant that brings the word on, it will be something for that person on Judgement Day and that day is surely coming. We will be held accountable for every little word we utter or did on earth.  I am not going no further than this, everyone should read the word for themselves so they will not be deceived by anyone, there's a lot of false prophets in the world right now teaching false docturines. The word says even some of his elects will be deceived as well.

Amen We can't debate over God's word. God we just have to pray that people believe and trust his word and always look towards him for his help always.

So, you're saying that you'll only make unsupported religious declarations which you have no intention of substantiating, (proselytizing/propagandizing), by debating them?

I am just to spread his word as his humble servant ...

That's proselytizing and propagandizing; which some non-xtians find to be extremely offensive and pretentious ... and you're okay with being offensive?

The word says even some of his elects will be deceived as well.

Moreso than such "elect", (religious zealots), would care to admit.

I am not asking you are anyone else to agree with my logic or my knowledge of the word, to each his own opinion, your entitled to it and i have no problem with you seeing it any other way, we all see things in our own level of understanding or belief. So thanks for your response and may you be bless. Patricia.

Though you've presented no logic to agree with, what was disagreed with was your illogical declarations, (since they have no evidentiary basis and are instead, based upon blind faith/empty belief).

This isn't one of the two calling-out threads started by xtian trolls and locked by Admin so, you're in the wrong thread for that.

Just say no and move on.  It's not that hard.

What, and let such religious fundamentalism be promoted without opposition?  Doubtless you fundie xtians would prefer suppression and restriction to dissenting viewpoints.

False.  Once again, thanks for your intolerance and lack of courtesy.

No one is required to be 'tolerant' or courteous to some fundie ineffectively and ironically attempting to be condescending.
