Did Jesus return already?

No.  When he comes back, everyone will see him.  I read that somewhere.

uhh...isn't it at the end of the world? YEP. When Jesus comes back. Thats the end of the world\n\nThere will be a second coming of Jesus (apocholypts *I know thats spelled wrong*) He will take all the people who believe that he died on the cross and rose back again and leave the people that haven't accepted Jesus into their life. Then, God will destroy the earth (but not right after Jesus comes). Nobody knows the time or day when all this happens, so When is the end of the world? Who knows. All i know is that Jesus is coming back soon because of all the signs going on which means that the earth is coming to an end and will end soon.

nobody knows the time nor the hour in which Jesus will come back. Only GOD himself does. Anybody else who says they do is LYING!!!!!!

If you are referring to "the second coming of Jesus", according to the Bible, He's coming back when God tells Him to.\n\nMatthew 24:34-36\nhttp://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2024:34-36;&version=50;\n\nHope this helps...

Not really. My faith in Jesus is keeping me strong. In any case, this date happened already in history...6/6/1906, 6/6/1806...get the drift?

YES! GEORGIAPEAC... WE ARE.    ALL OF THE PROPHECYS ARE POINTING TO THE FACE OF CHRIST IMMINENT RETURN.WE WILL NEVER KNOW THE EXACT TIME OR DATE OF JESUS RETURN,BUT GOD DOES EXPECT US TO BE READY FOR HIS RETURN.

The only proof I know of is that Jesus was resurrected. I would say that's as close to afterlife as you can get. So read the bible and there you may find your answer. :)

Yes, I believe that He is coming very soon.  People who have spent their whole lives studying end time events, the rapture of the church, etc., have recently stated that there are no more prophecies left to fulfill.  Jesus could come back anytime.  The Bible says that God is waiting for the precious fruit of the earth.  There are just to many unsaved people on the planet.  I personally believe that we are on the verge of a world wide revival that will see many people come to the Lord in a very short period of time, then Jesus will come back.

No but Jesus is our salvation. It is imperative to seek him and come to know him. He is available to all who seek him. We are all sinners and Christ provided the atonement for all  who accept his atonement for their sins. Christ sacrificed his flesh to provide all of us a new life and an eternity with God. the sin you already have the atonement is free to all who seek him and repent and accept it.

Jesus certainly existed - no serious historian doubts this (the handful of pop religion books on the topic notwithstanding.) There is plenty of evidence, written and otherwise - from the still extant ruins of Peter's house in Capernaum (Jesus' home base), to his mention (the second mention is not interpolation) in Josephus' "Antiquities", and Tacitus' reference to him.\n\nAs to the second coming of Jesus, none knows the hour, or the way. None of us should be confident we'll see it whether  we live five years or five hundred. It happens when it happens, in the way that it happens. "Stay awake", we are told, live an exemplary life. Every day is to be lived as though it were the dawn of the day of the Lord.\n\nAs Mother Theresa said, "Yesterday is past, and tomorrow is not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin."

I don't know where he is, but I sure do miss him. We need his simple message of "Come to Jesus" and the simple humor that goes with it. \n\nRev Trask, please come back! There are people on this forum that need you!\n\nI sure hope he didn't get kicked off. You know how YA is.

First, this is a GOOD queston.\n\nIt is amazing the influence Jesus has had on the world. It is Christmas season now which would be nothing if Jesus had not come. People in every country on earth will be opening Christmas presents in the next couple weeks because God sent His Son as the best gift of all time.\n\nJesus is much more than a good teacher. Much greater than any prophet. He is the only one who has ever claimed to be the way to God that could back up His claims.

Yes and the time is growing near....not by our timezone, but near nevertheless.  The 2nd Coming of Jesus will be Judgement Day and He will judge us then and there.  No time to make amends at that time....so it is always good to be ready now as we don't know when He will return.  He will return after this World of ours continues on the destructive course we are on and totally destroys itself.  The Bible and all of the Prophets have predicted exactly what is happening in our world right now.  Starting with immorality, the present Government situation with Bush as our leader, the Middle East, more and more natural disasters (Hurricanes, Tsunamis, deadly mudslides, etc.)  I wish the world would wake up and see what we are doing to ourselves.  I fear for the people who are in charge of the countries and where their destiny lies!

The answer to your question is a resounding, yes, and He still does.  He is NOT dead.  He is Resurrected from the dead.  No other human that has ever existed throughout all history can claim this act.  This is what differentiates Jesus as the True Messiah, as truly Divine, while all others are fakes, imposters and mere men.  \n\nAlso, since He now exists, you have the privilege to call upon His Name, and He will audibly answer you.  If you desire in your heart an actual relationship with Christ, He says, "Knock and I will answer," for he is the Door.\n\nIt amazes me how people today are so skeptical and jaded that they are actually preventing themselves from acquiring "wholeness" in Christ.  That was the whole purpose behind His Redemptive Deed upon the Cross, to reconcile us (our fallen sin nature) back to the Father.  He is our Salvation.  His resurrection created a Door through which we may re-attain in us what was lost by the Great Primordial Fall when we became divorced from God (the Great Divorce).  The process of accepting Christ Yeshua (Jesus) as your personal Savior is a “Rebirth” where you are spiritually “rewired” and “reconnected” back to the Godhead of Father, Son and Holy Spirit through Christ’s ultimate act of Love, the giving up of His mortal life for your sins.\n\nFollowing is the proof of Christ’s existence and divinity:\n\nWhy believe in Christianity over all other religions? \n\n         Critics often ask why Christianity is any better than any other religion in the world.  After all, of all the religions that exist how can it be that only Christianity is true?  If God exists, why can't God use different religions?  Don't all paths lead to God? These kinds of questions are asked all the time of Christians and unfortunately the answers aren't always very good ones particularly when dealing with people who have a relativistic truth base and don't believe in absolutes.\n     Therefore, in an attempt to demonstrate why Christianity is true and all other religious systems are false, I've prepared the following list of reasons for Christianity's superiority.    \nThere are such things as absolute truths \n     If truth is relative, then the statement that truth is relative is an absolute truth and would be self defeating statement by proving that truth is not relative.  But, if truth is absolute, then the statement "truth is absolute" is true and not self defeating.  It is true that truth exists.  It is true that truth will not contradict itself as we have just seen.  In fact, it is absolutely true that you are reading this paper.\n     If we can see that there is such a thing as truth in the world, then we could also see that there can be spiritual truth as well.  It is not absurd to believe in spiritual absolutes anymore than physical or logical absolutes.  Even the statement that all religions lead to God is a statement held to be a spiritual absolute by many people.  This simply demonstrates that people do believe in spiritual truth.  Why?  Because truth exists.  However, not all that is believed to be true actually is true.  Therefore, all belief systems cannot be true since they often contradict each other in profound ways. \nReligions contradict each other; therefore, they cannot all be true. \n     Mormonism teaches that there are many gods in existence and that you can become a god.  Christianity teaches that there is only one God and you cannot become a god.  Islam teaches that Jesus is not God in flesh where Christianity does.  Jesus cannot be both God and not God at the same time.  Some religions teach that we reincarnate while others do not.  Some teach there is a hell and others do not. They cannot all be true.  If they cannot all be true, it cannot be true that all religions lead to God.  Furthermore, it means that some religions are, at the very least, false in their claims to reveal the true God (or gods).  Remember, truth does

He was resurrected on the third day after his crucifixion.  He remained on Earth for 40 days before ascended into Heaven (unlike rockinpacker's answer of Jesus "descinding" into Heaven).  That's why his body wasn't found.\n\nWell, if you think about it...his body was sort of found.  He appeared to more than 500 people during his last 40 days on Earth before the Ascension.

No......why would you think that? Jesus didnt come until Matthew.
