Do you believe that the second coming of jesus is near?

Question

referring to chritianity.

Answer 1

He got nailed to a cross the first time. He is never coming back. Would you? The other reason he is never coming back is that he is not real.

Answer 2

It's nearer than it's ever been before! :o)

2 Peter 3:8 But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 9 The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance. 10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a roar, and the heavenly bodies will be burned up and dissolved, and the earth and the works that are done on it will be exposed.

Answer 3

Yes. Definitely. Although the Bible states that we cannot know for sure exactly when He will come back, it does give clues. One of which states that Jesus will come back "like a thief in the night" when no one is expecting it. And, referring to the majority of answers above, most people AREN'T expecting it.

Answer 4

Define near. The apostles thought that Jesus would come back before they died. Jesus himself said that only the Father knew the day and the hour. Jesus did not even know so how could we?

No. If Jesus existed, he was only a man, nothing more. He's not coming back in this life, or the next life, or any life.

Answer 8

I cant really say. Nobody really knows when Jesus will be coming again we just have to have faith in the Lord and be prepared for when he does come.

People have been saying this since the day after Christ left.

I don't think it will be anytime soon. Honestly, I'm not even sure how literal the "second coming" even is...

Answer 10

Yes, but I think we will see some things happen before hand ~ the rebuilding of the temple for example.
