Christ's return

Hindus also believe that an avatar of God will return. It was promised by Shri Krishna in the Bhagvad Gita. For Hindus, the last avatar in this age will be called Kalki Avatar. This age is called Kalyug- the dark age; where there is a lot of unrighteousness. Different religions call God by different names but God is one and I do believe that He will return as an Avatar to reinforce righteousness. Yes I do look forward.

This is key belief in the Baha`i Faith as well. God sends His Messengers when He deems it worthy, each of these Messengers may seem to be a different human being, but the Spirit which God sends is always the same.

I'm so honored you spent your first post on me. I would be honored more if it had been comprehensible, of course, but hey, that's okay.

Who on RF is waiting for and looking forward to Christ' return. I am most of the time, because for me it is the completeness of my salvation.

There are those Christians that believed Christ is returning. They have waited for around 2000 years, I guess you need to wait another 2000 years before giving up waiting for his return. If jesus was resurrected 3 days after his death, why is there a need for a return. Isn't the idea (second coming) kind a redundant since he has already risen?

Talk about reviving an old thread... nine years old? I never posted on this thread but a few of my friends did.. I note popeyesays and Bruce posted in it.. nine years ago. Sadly Popeyesays is no longer with us.

Baha'is believe Christ returned around 1844..that is His Spirit returned and fulfilled the prophecies of His return when the Bab declared His mission on May 23rd 1844.. 1260 AH in the Muslim calendar.

The proper name is spelled Jehovah. You somehow misspelled the proper name.
Jehova(h). The "h" you see.
Kind of like spelling God as Go .
Perhaps you did it with superstitious driven purpose???????:rolleyes::rolleyes:

Alrighty.
  • And the group is properly spelled Jehovah's Witnesses.
  • They are by far more knowledgeable about the Bible than most religious persons.

I am not a Jehovah's Witness. I do however have a good friend who is an elder with them. We decided a long time ago after many attempts to bring me to his way of thinking to just agree to disagree and speak of other things. And he is not more scripturally knowledgeable than me, just more rooted in his groups interpretation of things. We spent a lot of time in those days sparring with bible verses. Now, I'm just not up to it, though I must admit, I enjoyed it at the time.

Yes, J.W. are deeply indoctrinated in their brand of their interpretations of the Bible.
The go to ministry school every Thursday night. Each and everyone must become
