the first coming of christ is to recognise christ in another, eg Jesus.
the second coming of christ is to recognise christ in ourself.
who is still stuck on the first one?

I never thought of it like that. You have enlightened me a weee bit but I think I will be sticking to my aetheistic stance any way.

Mathew 24:3 "While he was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples approached him privately, saying, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your presence, and the conclusion of the system of things?" Why would they ask this if he wasn't coming again? Jesus then gave them a list of signs to watch for; many of these people will say have always happened,like war; however, one sign that has not occured in the past but is taking place right now, Mathew 23:14 "And this good news of the kingdom will be preached in ALL THE INHABITED EARTH for a witness to ALL the Nations, and then the end will come." Luke 17:22-30 also talks about the coming of "The Son of Man", it is quite clear that Jesus is talking about an actual happening and not something within ourselves. Revelation is mostly about Christs second coming. Revelation 1:5 "To him that loves us and that loosed us from our sins by means of his own blood", clearly Jesus; followed by verse 7 "Look! He is coming with the clouds and every eye will see him, and those who pierced him; and all the tribes of the earth will beat themselves in grief because of him." How can "every eye see" that which is within ourselves; or "every tribe beat themselves" over something within ourselves. So I'm not stuck on the first one; I have not had my mind blinded to the "glorious good news about the Christ" by "the god of this system of things", or Satan, Corinthians 4:4

Both comings of Christ are recognised as Jesus not some metaphysical fluffy psuedo-spiritual experience. Jesus Christ will return a second time as He promised in Revelation 22:7.

Christ is GOD, not Jesus (as the Christians believe).
What you call God has already risen in each and every living creature in this Universe - If some Humans are not aware of this fact, then they do not know who they are!
We (Humans) are all Sons & Daughters of GOD (The Universe).

GOD was in the world, and the world knew HIM not.
Will you know GOD when he returns. I hear so many apostates today saying they know GOD . .. but i know they ar in for a rude awakening. I have told them so in all honesty i am required to be honest.
LOVE your neighbor as yourself.
Amen.

What a load of b***ks
You dont need a book of 1000 bedtime stories to now what is good and what is bad. We all know in our hearts. Anyone that does different for whatever reason is bad. Simple as that!

I do not go with your definitions. So there is little point in answering the question.

Jesus is one of God's creations, just as are we all. Each one of us should try to see the best in each other, and most of all love.
