How come when I talk about Jesus' half-cousin Bob nobody will listen?

Question

Jesus' half-cousin Bob is returning to earth, and his return is soon; and all I get is people laughing. Even the Jehovah's Witnesses won't listen to me. It makes me sigh.

Answer 1

Because Bob hangs out with Brian

But still ask yourself would you believe the guy on the street corner saying he is the son of god. If no then why believe some guy 2000 years ago

Answer 2

Sorry to hear that people aren't listening to you. When does Bob's train get into town?

Answer 3

BOB,did come back! yet HE knew nobody really gave a sh1t!
because after all.....he is only a half-cousin

Answer 4

The bible does not teach as this so-called "question" suggests.

True Christians (such as Jehovah's Witnesses) do not pretend that they know which individuals will survive Armageddon and which will not. True Christians recognize the bible to teach that nearly all dead humans will be resurrected to perfect bodies in a restored paradise earth.

The bible also plainly teaches that a Christian can disqualify himself from salvation, particularly as that applies at Armageddon (emphasis added to following citations).

(Matthew 24:13) But he that has endured TO THE END is the one that will be saved.

(Philippians 2:12) Keep WORKING OUT your own salvation with fear and trembling

(Hebrews 5:9) [Jesus] became responsible for everlasting salvation to all those OBEYING him


True Christians hope to demonstrate love and devotion for God and Christ when they pursue the qualities and work indicated by the Scriptures. Similarly, true Christians work to avoid the qualities and pursuits which the bible teaches are displeasing and distracting from God and Christ.

No Christian would pretend that any "works" could change the fact that salvation is always an undeserved gift. God and Christ are beautiful, majestic, merciful persons who have the power, wisdom, justice, and love to preserve alive any who they will.

Until that time, true Christians (such as Jehovah's Witnesses) preach a message of "good news", and leave all judging for Jehovah and Jesus to perform "on the last day".

(Acts 10:36,42) Declare to them the good news of peace through Jesus Christ: this One is Lord of all others. ...this is the One decreed by God to be judge of the living and the dead

(John 11:23-25) Jesus said to her: “Your brother will rise.” Martha said to him: “I know he will rise in the resurrection on the last day.” Jesus said to her: “I am the resurrection and the life.

(John 12:48,49) The word that I [Jesus] have spoken is what will judge [a person] in the last day; because I have not spoken out of my own impulse, but the Father himself who sent me has given me a commandment

(John 8:16) if I do judge, my judgment is truthful, because I am not alone, but the Father who sent me is with me

(Matthew 12:36) They will render an account concerning it on Judgment Day

(John 5:22,27-30) [The Father] has committed all the judging to the Son... 27 And he has given him authority to do judging, because Son of man he is. 28 Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice 29 and come out... I judge; and the judgment that I render is righteous, because I seek, not my own will, but the will of him that sent me.

(Acts 17:30,31) God has overlooked the times of such ignorance, yet now he is telling mankind that they should all everywhere repent. Because he has set a day in which he purposes to judge the inhabited earth in righteousness by a man [Jesus] whom he has appointed
