Jesus Christ?

Question

Answer 1

I don't know

Answer 2

the timespan of the thinking man was just recently compare to the age of our planet. Even the gap between the early cavemen to the homosapiens are long & filled with voids. If evolution is 100% accurate, there are centuries between the time monkey's believed to have started evolving up to the early neanderthals as unrecorded(coz no artifacts & remains found).
Paradoxically, as soon as the thinking man walked straight on land, the idea of a God(actualy all early civilizations are Polytheists) was introduced. only Juadaism taught a 1-God religion. & the prophecy of a great man emancipating them from the Romans has been prewritten already. Just like Moses' prophecy, the timing of Jesus Christ is just right for the political/religious conflict happening in Palestine(Israel) during that time. Coincidentally, the same prophecy came true.
Strategically, their part in the history is just right on time when transition of power is taking place. If Jesus Christ came earlier than that, i dont think the Roman empire wouldnt absrob his teachings & make as their sole religion. Then Christianity wouldnt be the most dominant religion today.
The God part may be arguable, but his coming on earth did make a big difference. Infact, it turned the world upside down.

Answer 3

Latin Vulgate
Douay-Rheims Bible


The Apocalypse Of Saint John
Chapter 22

11 He that hurteth, let him hurt still: and he that is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is just, let him be justified still: and he that is holy, let him be sanctified still. 12 Behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to render to every man according to his works. 13 I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end. 14 Blessed are they that wash their robes in the blood of the Lamb: that they may have a right to the tree of life, and may enter in by the gates into the city.

16 I Jesus have sent my angel, to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the root and stock of David, the bright and morning star. 17 And the spirit and the bride say: Come. And he that heareth, let him say: Come. And he that thirsteth, let him come: and he that will, let him take the water of life, freely.

Answer 4

It only seems long to us, but to God one thousand years is like one day, and one day is like one thousand years, which means he is not restricted or limited by time like us human beings. To God everything has a timing or time table. That's why Jesus repeatedly say "My time has no yet come." The Bible also says: "But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born[a] of a woman, born under the law, 5
to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons." (Galatians 4:4,5) These show that God always works everything according to His plan, and not according to an impulse or sudden thought.

Answer 5

Jesus was a regular guy that they made a big fuss over. He was taught some pretty special stuff by a lot of metaphysical people from all over the world. The same stuff, and more, that you can learn today.

Answer 6

2 Peter 3:8 But don't forget this one thing, beloved, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

God is always untime and not before time or after. For one thing we appreciate the death of Jesus Christ now seeing what the world had to do to atone for their sins by sacrificing a lamb, imagine you had to do that now - you see the importance of Christ death more and more as you read the OT.

The controversy between God and Satan was going on before the creation of the world, you can then ask why didn't he kill Satan before he sinned or before he made Eve sin.

Because of sin, we are witnesses of the reality of sin and what it does. That is why God had to die to redeem us and he will come again and save us and rid the universe of sin, sinners and the devil Satan forever.

Before there was sin, no one knew really what it was it was just a bad thing. But sooner or later it would arise and Lucifer initiated it and therefore in God's infinite wisdom sin is allowed to be played out so that the character of God will be seen and that all the warning before was warranted.

Sin will never again rare its ugly head because God will not allow it again and we wont either because we see what it causes.

Even God had to pay for sin by the death of His only son, which was no ordinary death - no man or woman on earth every had that death - he died for the world everybody who died already died for themself.

Answer 7

Because He gave them time to try to earn their way to heaven themselves. That's what the whole old testament was for. God gave man the law (actually many laws) and told man that if you obey all these laws you will go to heaven. Then he sat back for the next 1,400 years after Moses and waited until man finally was able to understand that no one could be good and obey the law. Isaiah said, "there is no one who is good, no not one." That's when He sent Jesus into the world to save it. That was His plan from the beginning but if He had sent Him in the beginning, man wouldn't have understood why He was dying for them.

Answer 8

Well, God has been sending prophets hoping that people would at list listen to them. God has to take our human form when the time was right.

Answer 9

since we have no idea how long the human race will last, it could be billions of years, you can't assume god did wait very long. those 5,000 years, or whatever it was, could be a mere blink in the eye of eternity.

Answer 10

To show you how perfect the timing was , even down to the going disease at the time, ... it was leprosy ... a disease that it's first symptom is numbness or the lack of feeling. (No more conscience)

Answer 11

Rom5:6
6 When we were utterly helpless, Christ came at just the right time and died for us sinners.
