    If Christ comes today, how do you know it is really Him?

    No, the new covenant according to scriptures was to happen at the time, when Jews will be gathered in the Land again. This happened late 19th century. Prior to that, the Jews were scattered in many other countries, in Europe, in Russia, etc. Noah was 600 years, when flood came. If we match...

    Matthew 26:28 28 This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. 2 Corinthians 3:6 6 He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant See also Romans 11 2 Thessalonians 1 9 They will be punished with everlasting destruction and shut out from...

    If Christ comes today, how do you know it is really Him?

    Yes, an Ark was built by Jesus, when He came the first time. But there is a Prophecy, that, when Christ comes again, He will make a new covenant, meaning, a new Ark: "This is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: "When I bring them back from captivity, the people in the land of...

    If Christ comes today, how do you know it is really Him?

    I think the promise Jesus made to come again and receive His followers to Himself was not only for the disciples He spoke to at that time, but to all believers since then. That is why we have the Bible, God’s Word preserved through the centuries. According to the scriptures, when Jesus comes to...

    Split a piece of wood and I am there, Lift a stone and you will find me

    I will try to address your points, but it's probably pointless... Romans 8:13 has absolutely nothing to do with eating or smoking. It has to do with the carnal (sin) nature versus living by the Holy Spirit...

    Romans 8:13 13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. When you Eat foods that is Unhealthy because it tastes good and Smoke for pleasure knowing that it could Kill you, you are Strong in the Body. These are...

    If Christ comes today, how do you know it is really Him?

    You're right but It has already happened. The warning was announced 2000 years ago: “Repent, for the kingdom of God has come near.” "Unless you repent, you too will all perish." And "the ark" was built: Mark 16 15 He said to them [the apostles], “Go into all the world and preach the gospel...

    If a person claiming to be Christ comes today, how do you know it is really *not* him?

    Matthew is Jesus-speak. Thessalonians is Paul-speak. Whenever the two show ANY inclinations of differing, I go with Jesus. Jesus is speaking to the inner being of individuals. Paul is speaking to the leadership of a new congregation of followers. It the difference of hearing the wisdom of the...

    If a person claiming to be Christ comes today, how do you know it is really *not* him?

    By the way, if you're going to quote that, how about this: 1 Thessalonians 5:3 - While people are saying, “There is peace and security,” then sudden destruction will come upon them as labor pains come upon a pregnant woman, and they will not escape."

    My thoughts about why people say that Jesus is not God

    It is surprising that anyone calling themselves ‘Jew’ or ‘Christian’ should ever be making any kind of claim of a multiplicity in or of God. Only a pagan view could make such a claim and we already know that TRUE Christianity is not pagan. We can therefore acknowledge that FALSE Christianity...

    If Christ comes today, how do you know it is really Him?

    Then what do you make of these words of Christ, in the context of the 1000 years reign of Christ: 37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage...

    If Christ comes today, how do you know it is really Him?

    Baha'is put some of the things in Revelation in the time of Muhammad. They say the number of the beast is the year 666AD when the Umayyads took over Islam. "You have asked about the meaning of the "four beasts" referred to in Revelations, Ch. 4. ‘Abdu'l-Bahá in a Tablet has given an...

    If Christ comes today, how do you know it is really Him?

    It means He will come again as King of kings in judgment… Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him wascalled Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. 12 His eyes werelike a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He [a]had a...

    If Christ comes today, how do you know it is really Him?

    Again... Baha'is have no credibility to take something in the gospel of John literally when they don't take anything about the resurrection literally. If the resurrection is true however, it would destroy the claim that Jesus wouldn't be seen again, because he was... After he was dead for three...

    John 16:16 A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father. a little while, and ye shall see me I believe Jesus meant that we would see His spirit return in another man who would be the return of Christ. John 16:10 Of...

    If Christ comes today, how do you know it is really Him?

    I see no period (after "no more") in that sentence: John 16 16 Jesus went on to say, “In a little while you will see me no more, and then after a little while you will see me.” He will resurrect them. Remember, he will come to judge the living and the dead? John 6 52 The Jews then disputed...

    2 Thessalonians 1 ... when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels 8 in flaming fire... Matthew 24:30 30 Then will appear in heaven the sign of the Son of Man, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven...

    If Christ comes today, how do you know it is really Him?

    Meet the Lord in the air? I consider the belief utterly absurd. That belief comes from the following verses: [17] Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. [18] Wherefore comfort...

    If Christ comes today, how do you know it is really Him?

    There is also the belief of some Christians that the ones doing God's will, the believers in Jesus, will be "raptured" out of here. And when Jesus returned, they return with him. I'd like to hear how InvestigateTruth and the other Baha'is think about that Christian belief.
