He was really Loki in disguise and was steering followers away from Odin.
Loki also posed as Mohammad. |

I believe that the Lord knows the future, so He knows who will seek Him and who won't. I also believe, due to my own experience, that those whose hearts are truly seeking God will be delivered.
Here are just a couple of scriptures that support this position. There are many more. Psalm 10:17 Lord, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear Psalm 34:15-22 The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry. The face of the Lord is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth. The righteous cry, and the Lord heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles. The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all. He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken. Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate. The Lord redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate. |

I was only referencing that there may a lack of stigmata which is why people don't see him. What were you interpreting it as?

Why these threads get locked. Making disparaging sexual references about another person's God?? Doesn't affect my faith but shows the lack of character and maturity of one who would offer such commentary. For the atheists, this would be similar to me remarking how loose another member's mother's vagina is. I would never do something like that because i was paid an adequate amount of attention as a child. Quote HistoryQuoted:

There are dudes proclaiming to be the second coming all over. The last one I recall was killed by the ATF in Waco. That would probably make him a little gun shy to reappear any time soon. Pun intended.

I don't know a whole lot about Jesus and stuff but isn't the whole point to have faith in him without needing tangible proof? I would assume he's not showing up and signing bibles because he doesn't need to be around for all the real believers.

The anti-christ will show up, perform miracles, stop wars, and people will flock to him like the free shit army are following Sanders. |

My conclusion is that it is because God (and Jesus) does not exist, at least as Christians believe.
I also believe that many of the "signs" that Christians claim to have received are simply natural events and happenings interpreted in ways to support their religious faith. |

Non-Christian. First you have to suppose that there is a God as defined by the Protestant Christian sense, that is a huge leap. Then you have to suppose that he does "things" to people and not others which means he is either
A)Judging that person not to be worthy which is a direct contradiction of said religion or B)That person doesn't see the signs by some matter of subjective measurement that others have nothing to compare against because they don't believe in the first place which those that do believe see as a tragedy and must convince said people to save them by making them believe what they do. Usually by coming up with such questions of "Why doesn't God reveal himself to everyone?" as a starting point. Not trying to be edgy, just being frank on the motivations of this thread which belongs in religion forum. Edit: Forgot C)The ever moving goalposts of what he does and how no one knows what he does for whatever reason because faith...and stuff. Edit 2.0: This will probably be viewed as an attack on Christianity and the victimization squad will come out saying this is rude and how it is the downfall of 'Murica, followed by the militant aspect on how not thinking like they do is stupid. |
