THAT JESUS IS COMING , JESUS IS COMING....
They say this over and over as if it were some future event.
I have even heard it preached to provoke fear.
Do we not realize that Jesus IS COME he is here now,
Do we not know who Jesus is, Do we also not know that
God is dwelling in flesh and that we are the members of the
body of chirst
1Jo 4:2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
Eph 5:30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.

If we are waiting for Jesus to come to get right im saddened
Rom 12:1 ¶ I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, [which is] your reasonable service.
Rom 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. Rom 12:3 ¶ For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think [of himself] more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith. Rom 12:4 For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office: Rom 12:5 So we, [being] many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.

I believe what the bible says,
That we are the members of the body of
christ, and we are the flesh that God has
chosen to manifest himself in the world.
God is not waving a magic wand and granting things about....If God speaks He uses His child as a mouth piece...If God hugs you He uses His childs arm ect..
I might be the hand you might be the head ect.... We are not the fullness of the Godhead bodly for we are memebers, But together we make up THE BODY. I believe that Jesus is God and that God is spirit and those that worship God must worship in spirit and truth, And that JESUS is the only name given whereby we must be saved.

What you said is true, but Jesus did say Himself that he was coming back. We don't know when, but we know how.
Your comments remind me of that song about being the hands of Jesus... and why aren't they healing.. .

Read Revelation, which discusses the "2nd Coming" of Jesus, as riding on the clouds and shining like the sun, to separate the sheep from the goats. He even discusses it in the Gospels. Preachers declare Christ's second coming because He will come again.

Read Revelations where it says this book should not have been written for these things have already come to pass and we would not be able to understand the reality of that and it could cause serious doubts and panic and wreak havoc on today's society. Such as someone fearing the second coming and believing they have the mark of the beast, resulting in this person committing suicide out of fear simply because he had read Revelations. It does happen he was my brother and he was only 24.

Jesus is coming again to Earth as final judge--but yes, Jesus is still alive and here. I receive Jesus at Mass, what a wonderful gift! Just don't forget to mind your p's and q's for the judgement day.

So what ?
Those who say that are the kind of preachers who like to announce the ending of times.
Preachers are funny
I like them
They are the modern fortune tellers, with their TV shows and nation wide media marketing
Their "faith" is growing every day, in a numbered vault stationed in Geneva, Switzerland.
But i like them, I'm not jealous

You need to read Acts Chapter One
One of the first message's to the soon to be church was His Second coming.
10They were looking intently up into the sky as he was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them. 11"Men of Galilee," they said, "why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven."

Jesus came once and He is coming again. He is not now on earth as some suggest. It should only provoke fear in those who are not ready!
