Would They Love Him Down In Shreveport?
If they saw him riding in,
long hair flying in the wind,
Would they love him in Shreveport today?
And if they saw he was a Jew,
and a Palestinian, too,
Hey, would they love him down in Nashville today?
And if they saw him talk with ease,
to the junkies, whores and thieves,
Would they love him in Wichita today?
And would the rich man think it funny,
if he said give up your money,
Hey, would they love him up on Wall Street today?
And if he made the wine from water,
and gave it to their sons and daughters,
What would the folks in Salt Lake City say?
And if he talked of brotherhood,
as he walked their neighborhood,
Would they love him up in Boston today?
And if he said love those who use you
and forgive those who abuse you,
If he turned the other cheek what could we say?
Would you laugh, would you call him crazy,
and just send him on his way,
if Jesus came to your town today?
And if said love those who use you
and forgive those who abuse you,
If he turned the other cheek what could we say?
Would you laugh, would you call him crazy,
and just send him on his way,
if Jesus came to your town today?
Ohhh, ohhhh, if Jesus came to your town today ...........

Maybe...
I also think that when He said, "I am the way the truth and the life and no man comes to the Father but by me." and "Do not forbid the little children to come unto me for such is the kingdom of Heaven." and "It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven." Michael Moore, George Soros, Hillary Clinton, and others would do all they could to help Coultier, Limbaugh, and Bush in their efforts.

Umm... the only people who deny Christ upon His return will be the deliberately contrarian.
Next time, peeps, there's gonna be no question about the whole divinity thing. Knees bowing, tongues confessing, resurrection, divine leadership: Anne, Rush, and President Bush all have the strength of character to profess and practice what they believe and I'm sure they'll be fine.
The question is: when Christ returns, which side will you choose to be on?

That's a very odd question. I can't begin to predict how anyone would act or react to Christ walking the earth today. Most people would so wrapped up in themselves and their cell phones and whatnot to be concerned with Christ. They wouldn't even notice.

Yep, I think you've pretty much got it right. If Christ was around now, nobody would notice. And the sad thing of course is that probably a large number of the people who wouldn't notice consider themselves Christians. People get so set in their ways. They're exactly the same as the religious people who Jesus was trying to wake up in his time.
He'd just end up killed again like before. The government doesn't want a peacenik revolutionist.

No, none of that would happen because the next time He comes back it will be much different than the last time. This time He will rule the world, like it or not.

TRUELY I SAY TO YOU- HE'S BEEN HERE AND DONE THAT. WHEN HE RETURNS IT WILL BE THE WRATH OF THE LAMB. IN THE TWINKLING OF AN EYE, AS QUICKLY AS A THEIF IN THE NIGHT EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW AND EVERY TONGUE CONFESS THAT JESUS CHRIST IS LORD OF LORDS AND KING OF KINGS. PHIL2:10 THINK ABOUT THAT FOR JUST A SECOND EVERY ONE IN HEAVEN AND HELL AND ALL THOSE IN BETWEEN WILL BOW DOWN AND SAY YES SIR YOU ARE THE KING OF KINGS AND THE LORD OF LORDS. YOU READY? HOPE SO AND I'LL PRAY THAT YOU ARE
GOD BLESS
