My vote is no. When Christ comes, he will make all things new. I don't think that we'll need RF or the internet as we frolic in paradise.

But then to me Jesus and Christ are two different things, if someone else became Christ they could well face the same fate as Jesus depending on where they live. In China they'd be killed.
In America they would be lynched or locked up.
RF will continue on as none the wiser.

How about a whip?
John 2: 14And He found in the temple those who were selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers seated at their tables. 15And He made a scourge of cords, and drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and the oxen; and He poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables;

Or perhaps he will be too busy whacking his own big stick.MidnightBlue said:Paradise, by definition, must include the internet and vodka. And places to swim. Anyway, if Jesus comes back, he'll probably be too busy whacking his followers over the head with a big stick to worry about RF.

Done here.
They prefer to be called Belarusans now, I think.angellous_evangellous said:I enjoy white Russians.
A Greek bishop once told me that Greeks don't drink beer during Lent, but Russians do, and a Russian priest added, "And vodka."
"Oh, Father!" says the bishop. "Not vodka!"
"The Lord would never be so cruel," said the priest, "as to deny us vodka."

The Second Coming of Jesus Christ
From what I am to understand, Christ has come and gone from this planet a few times, just not in the aspect that people would expect or recognize.

Unless Christ brings with him the power of teleportation that everyone could use freely, where else would I go to visit Retrorich and other RF comrades?

It has been explained to me that the man (formerly known as Jesus) has reincarnated in this physical existences a few times (possibly as different entities). One of them was as a human but the capacity of teacher, messiah, prophet was not a chosen purpose for that lifetime.Mister_T said:

If Christ's Second Coming is anything like Jesus in the Bible, then he would still speak in parables that are open to wide-interpretations, because of the symbolic meanings. Anything he has to say, people will ponder them as endlessly as we had pondered the NT ambiguous sayings.
Until he learned to talk straight, without all these innuendos and double-meaning, then we are no more better-off understanding him than in his 1st coming.
