Would you label him a liberal, a non conformist, a conspiracy theorist. We would expect him to give us answers but would believe a complete stranger to tell u how it is? You would walk right past him and call him crazy wouldnt you. Would u expect him to perform a miracle to prove it's him. If that is what your waiting for, I am curious on the event you may desire. Well it seems while you are waiting, the open minded spiritual seekers who now and desire to really contribute to make the change. That's because "works" can't get u into heaven, am I right. Sit back and get manipulated a little more.

If Jesus came back, I'd let him crash on my couch, shop for jeans and t-shirts for him, introduce him to Cajun food and the internet, and then show him Christianity and ask him what he thinks of it, keeping a box of tissues handy. I'd keep him away from the tattoo parlor but let him veg out to Battlestar Galactica and Firefly.
He'd probably be rather cool to hang out with, actually, since he hung out with the freaks, geeks, and fringies of his time.

The second coming of Christ is the blessed hope of the church, the grand climax of the gospel. The Saviour's coming will be literal, personal, visible, and worldwide. When He returns, the righteous dead will be resurrected, and together with the righteous living will be glorified and taken to heaven, but the unrighteous will die. The almost complete fulfillment of most lines of prophecy, together with the present condition of the world, indicates that Christ's coming is imminent. The time of that event has not been revealed, and we are therefore exhorted to be ready at all times. (Titus 2:13; Heb. 9:28; John 14:1-3; Acts 1:9-11; Matt. 24:14; Rev. 1:7; Matt. 24:43, 44; 1 Thess. 4:13-18; 1 Cor. 15:51-54; 2 Thess. 1:7-10; 2:8; Rev. 14:14-20; 19:11-21; Matt. 24; Mark 13; Luke 21; 2 Tim. 3:1-5; 1 Thess. 5:1-6.)

When jesus came the first time nobody believed he was the son of god until he performed a miracle, it would be the same if it happened today. We wouldnt believe him but he would perform a miracle to show us. Then we would believe.

All the neo-cons, crazy Christians and others would label him a non-conformist. This is if something like this could ever possibly happen.

This idea is a misunderstanding of scripture.
Jesus has no intention of returning as a living human. He already did that. It is not necessary to do it again.
This time Jesus is returning in the hearts of those who have accepted his message and try to live their lives to emulate his teachings. Few actually do this. It requires a radically different interpretation of love from the one understood by most so-called believers. Most people see love as something that you keep in reserve only for those you have judged worthy of it.
This is not love at all. This is only judgment. Judgment is the exact opposite of what Jesus was teaching. Remember judge not lest yee be judged. Jesus asks us to love our neighbor. Notice that there is no accept for in this statement. Every one is intended to be included in this love Jesus ask us to have for our fellow man. This type of universal application of love requires no judgment on our part because Jesus’' intent was that no one be left out of it.
This is a difficult pill to swallow for any religion that thinks of it's self as being the one true and only correct way to God. This idea of exclusivity is the exact opposite of the message of inclusively that Jesus gave us.
Attaining the goals that Jesus set for us may be difficult within the constraints most religions impose. This is why many who seriously try to emulate the true teachings of Jesus in their lives do not ascribe to any particular religious following. They follow the truth in their hearts where Jesus has taken up residence.
Love and blessings.

Well all conservative people would want him to run for president so that they can say, if you don't vote for him you are not a christian like they do now. If Jesus came back to earth he'd take one good look and America, weep and leave.

Oh yes you would know the next time it is to set up his kingdom over this earth.
Psalms 37:10,11 Says he is going to destroy the wicked and set up his kingdom with him as king. Thats where it says the meek will inherit the earth. Those who know that will survive
Those who don't it wont matter because they will be dead
So yea, you will know the next time.

The Bible says when He comes back we are all going to know it. He is going to come out of the East, and be seen all over the world. We won't have to ask if it's really Him, we'll know.
