re: #196 Karridine

So when Jesus chose words to explain His ‘return’, and His 3 promises can be seen to point directly to the year 1844, you imply that He was ignorant of the meaning of His words? Or He didn’t KNOW they would lead to the ONLY person Who came that year claiming divinity?

Or maybe you just suggest that Jesus is RIGHT, but we misunderstand His guidance, even when it is fulfilled?

Ah, well, IIPeter2:1 is pertinent, and ustimately we’re both correct: for you, Christ has NOT returned. He HAS returned for me.

B’ahai says: 5/23/1844.

Christian says: Read the NT.

Jew says: We know what to look for, and you’re both wrong.

Intolerant Muslim says: You will all die for your unbelief.

Buddhist says: Why are you all worrying about God to begin with? It won’t bring you peace or enlightenment to speculate on such things. First, remove the poison arrow, then worry about who shot you—that’s what I say.

Hindu says: Ahem! Forget that Gautama clown and his meanderings. We have the real deal: Reincarnation until nirvana, baby. Where do you think the Buddhists got it?

Shintoist says: The gods inhabit everything!

Atheist says: There is no god. There is only the material reality that exists. That’s it. All of your philosophies are just made up crap as far as I can tell, and I ask you to please leave me out of it.

Agnostic looks at all of them and says: I don’t know. I cannot speculate on the unknown with the evidence we have available. (cont’d)
