Many talk about the second coming of Christ, but what would they expect Christ to look like, how would he arrive, and what would be the signs by which he may be recognised?

Would he wear a thorny crown and drag a wooden cross, in order for people to recognise him?

OR

Would he be an exceptional human being (whether man, or woman), of superior intelligence and wisdom, attempting to teach people with the view of enabling humanity to assimilate to the Spiritual Age, we recently entered?

All sensible replies will be appreciated.

Many thanks to all who offer their thoughts.

I work in publishing/media. The new guy who started, well, he's new--so he is still learning the ropes. Yet there is one sour issue that has nothing to do with knowing our style guide: he smells like a moose. I was helping him with something the other day and caught a whiff that was so foul it made my eyes water. Is this appropriate to talk about with my boss? Or do I just have to breathe through my mouth at work from now on?

Atheists believe that the univers and everything that exists just came to be by accident...

Here is the problem...

The universe is full of Data, full of distinct pieces of information, "which all must be formatted in the same special way in order to fit together". But what is data: (facts, information, advice). And where did this Data come from?

How did a billion pieces of unorganized data manipulate 'itself' to create a collection of instructions necessary to build 1 organized super complex working cell?

By randomness? But even the act of randomness is a process of selection, and therefore randomness itself cannot take place without organized programmation. Randomness is a quality which requires action and therefore it requires instructions.

The only possible answer is creation by higher power. The universe started with a THOUGHT. Its a proven fact.

So if you fail in plan A, plan B is activated, fail in that Plan C, by fail I mean you didn't obey your call perhaps, or missed that opportunity. Or just one plan because God already knows the mistakes we will make(but this of course doesn't negate free-will)

Does anyone else think that by censoring things that few people find offensive we're giving away our freedom of speach?
The state of Maine has recently banned the sale of a beer called Santa's Butt Lager because they say the Santa illustration is attractive to children. Whatever happened to just telling our kids beer is for grownups? Municipalities all over the country used to put up spectacular holiday displays that were enjoyed by all, until a few people complained that they were offended. In our local town a Menorah (not sure if I spelled that right) was added in the 70's. This year we have no display at all, the towns reasoning is that a municipality can not continue to sponsor a display that is considered offensive to anyone. People ask things like what is wrong with our children today, I'm beginnging to think that we have created monsters who cannot accept any idea that is different from what they think . By making a few people happy we've ruined our country.

Like, if there's a stereotype about a group of people then won't it effect those people who look like them? Also have you personally faced anything like this? What are your thoughts on stereotypes?

IT'S LIKE WE HAVE A NEW 9/11 ATTACK EVERY 3 WEEKS. The greed of insurance and medical companies kills more people than Muslims.The World Health Organization ranks the United States 35th in health care. It is far behind the nations that have universal health care. Universal health care saves lives and money. USA only industrialized democracy not to have it.

The Bible says that the Holy Spirit goes wherever He wishes (John 3:8) but from watching Benny Hinn on TV, it looks like the Holy Spirit goes wherever Benny wishes.

What's up?

It's funny, this year my husband and I decided to limit our gifts to each other at $25. I casually mentioned it to one of my best friends, and she was NOT going to tell me their limit ($250.) It doesn't matter to me - you just do what is right for you and what you can afford, right?
