He came back after he was crucified? He showed himself to Mary, and the diciples at the sea, and showed himself as another person, wouldn't that indicate that He already retured and the 2nd coming is not literal but a transformation inside each and every one of us?

Interesting point, but I thought the whole "second coming" was promised to the disciples AFTER the resurrection. In that case, no.

In His First Coming, He came to give His life a ransom for many.
At His Second Coming it will be to Rapture all who "are in Christ", to come with Clouds and Great Glory, to stand on the Mount of Olives at which time a great earthquake will split that mountain in two.
You refer to His post-resurrection appearances. Those were 40 days following His Resurrection; to teach and equip His disciples. Yes, He came back FROM THE DEAD. But in the Second Coming He will come back to Earth FROM HEAVEN.
Yes, there should be a "transformation" inside each of us; but that is NOT the Second Coming. In Acts, the Disciples saw Him ascend into Heaven and a cloud received Him out of their sight. And two (angels) stood beside them and said "ye men of Galilee, why stand you gazing up into Heaven; this same Jesus shall so come as YOU SAW HIM GO INTO HEAVEN.

That is all integrated into His first coming. The 2nd coming will be His coming for the Jews as He promised He would as their victorious King on their behalf.

wish that was the accepted theory cuz then Chistians would quit acting so foolish. It's like they think God keeps things a secret for no reason and needs our help to bring about the end times. Sometimes I think it would have been nice if He would have include Oh yea of little brain

It depends how you look at it. He's alive and walking at this moment in time on this planet. with what happening in a country that has printed and now want to remove In God We Trust, don't think he wants to talk openly to anyone. we jail people in believing in the tree of life is MJ< POT. ruin lives with laws. holy men saying the tree of life is a metaphor and streets paved with gold. no problem, use them as fuel for the lake of fire and keep it burning. Please god, take my life now as I don't want to be around most people. they don't truly believe. make them wait

if u can pinch yourself and still feel it, JESUS has not returned. antichrist comes at the 6th trump. JESUS comes at the at the 7th trump.
we will then be in our spiritual bodies. the only way any of these terrorists will ever bow their knee to CHRIST is to have their flesh removed and see JESUS as HE really is!
