The 2nd Coming

[Arsenios]

My old friend Ted (R.I.P.) would have liked you very much

OK...OK - You don't have to beat on me...

I will pray for your old friend Ted's soul,
May he be numbered among the Blessed!

So will you now, finally, pass me my Busch?

[Arsenios]

It’s not me. It’s you, and those who’d agree with you...

Finger pointers of the world UNITE!!!

Impossible odds, I say!

One at "ALL those others"...

Three at SELF!!!

The unholy three and one...

Think three, Az...

Are you my ex-wife? That's exactly what she said.

The difference is that she was right!

[Arsenios]

I wonder where the error is exactly?

Philosophy begins with wonder...

Aristotle...

Educator of Alexander the Great...

Who was the Trainer of Bucephalous...

The greatest war-horse ever...

‘I’, the only place a sociopath chooses to persist.

 

[Arsenios]

Perhaps I should look for posted rules...

Self-moderation is a good thing...

I was just reading the history of some names I found in my line, and I recall one about farming and those names come to mind.

Did it help?

[Azrael]

I like forums that allow users to moderate threads they start, so they might weed the trolls out and keep it on topic.

Perhaps I’ll go start one.

 

[Azrael]

Arsenios, you are just awful. The energy you exude is plain *yuck*. Are you a full blown creeper irl? Or just on threads?

logical fallacy is futile

 

[Andrew]

You are a Blick or Bleck? I was just reading the history of some names I found in my line, and I recall one about farming and those names come to mind.

Hoff(farm)mann(man/steward)

I see.

I remember now what I was thinking of. I had an ancestor whose profession listed on his immigration record is ‘Arrendator’, which is a ‘lease farmer’ so far as I understand.

That ancestor’s last name is Bleck.

Not a beating at all, just a resemblance of character and thinking (a'la word play)

I still want my Busch, you stingy beer-miser you!

What's this topic about again?

It seemed like it was about the second advent but I must be mistaken. Trolls and something mysterious seem to be the real topic.

 

[Azrael]

Topic is a troll magnet. My first post here. Some real ‘Who is who’ type material.

There is always a bigger troll in the pool. Until we meet Jesus. He’s the Alpha and Omega. Many will try to troll hm, but all will be trolled. -Azrael

Since Christ is God He will be as easy to recognise as is God. No creature can see God and not know it.

Yet we read in Scripture that every eye shall see Him

[Azrael]

But not every eye shall believe him?

 

[Andrew]

But not every eye shall believe him?

I think it comes down to "will every eye believe IN him?"
I imagine the Tribulation to be known around the world when it comes, oh they will believe and wonder and every knee shall bow but likewise many will still reject him.

In Post #1 Azrael asked the following:

My question to each of you: how does your Church believe the 2nd Coming will take place exactly?

Of course scripture is vague on the details concerning when, but how?

Would you know him if he stood before you? How?

The question set is good one, and is highly to the point.

==============================================================================================

A few pertinent points can be made at this juncture:
1. The request is deserving of sensible and informative responses;
2. It would seem that appropriate responses have not been forthcoming;
3. References to Mohammedanism etc. are totally in place in a forum named “World Religions...”;
4. There are Posters in CH who claim the Bible to be their sole source of religious truth and wisdom:
..... Even if those churches and people choose to cling to beliefs that cannot be found in that collection of writings;
5. There are Posters in CH who identify themselves with particular churches (denominations);
6. It should not be inappropriate to expect those two types of people (some individuals will be both) to be able to sensibly present:
..... Their church’s definitive view on the subject, or lack of one (if they are or were associated with one);
..... Their personal view (if not too personal a request).

==============================================================================================

It can also be pointed out that:
1. The request seems to have exposed a sore point;
2. That exposure is evidenced by the diversionary tactics that have come out of the woodwork;
3. Azrael appears to be somewhat susceptible to diversions;
4. It would be to his advantage to not be led astray so readily.

==============================================================================================

I would be personally appreciative to learn from people of “the Bible alone”, “Sola Scriptura”, etc. background, (i.e. for them to clearly set out for us, with its Scriptural basis), either their church’s teaching on, or their personal understanding of, the matter, and to identify which of the two is being presented.

All of that being said, id love to hear your take on how you see the end of days go down.
