If Jesus, Buddha, Moses or Mohammad came back today..what then?

Considering that under my belief we are to expect a false prophet claiming to be the second coming of Christ, and millions will fall for it, I'd have to trust my gut and hope it's right. I can only begin to imagine the beating that our Creator (whatever name He/She might be using) would take from the press and the clergy. They'd probably try to lock Him/Her up and/or execute Him/Her. What I'd like to see: The neocons & Illuminati instantly disintegrate into dust and be blown off the earth. If God is the type of God (whatever His/Her name might be) I believe He/She is, the evil, controlling, 2-faced, lying war-mongering, murderous, sneaking, theiving, abusive people would be wiped off the face of the world and good people can begin again with the free will we were given at birth. However, with religion (for lack of a better word) being kicked out of everywhere but churches, synagogues, temples, private homes, etc. God may not see fit to help us thwart the new Hitlers this time around. There may be no Noah this time. Another however, if I let myself believe there is no salvation at all from the evil taking over our world, I would go catatonic and spend my days drooling with my mind on some far off planet and my nights in silent terror. Yeah, I know. I can't get off the neocon kick. Sorry. It seems most every subject leads me back to that in some way. Chalk yourself up another great "thinker" of a discussion! Peace, Shannon

Well it's an interesting question for sure. Perhaps the false prophet is in fact the New Age Movement - does one really know? This movement has heightened the 'Iluminati' and incited allot of aggression in the process. It begs questions in the effect it's having in a positive way. The human condition is such that it has fallen further from a state of grace and receptivity to presences of such magnitude as Buddha or Jesus or Mohammad etc. People are still looking outside for some form of saviour when it can only be found within. Why is that such a difficult concept to fathom. Jesus was a man, an ordinary man who went through the human condition in such a way as to show that any man/woman has the ability to do so. Christ became his saviour because Jesus opened himself to the point where he found Christ in himself. In Hindu Teachings, that of Sri Aurobindo it is written that many who sat in the presence of The Mother could do so for short periods because she reflected so much fire that the mere uninitiated could not handle the fire. They could not stand the amount of love she emitted. Many spiritual teachers of high calibre (and I mean serious teachers with integrity) will reflect to their students. The students become blubbering idiots in their presence. If Jesus were to reincarnate, would he get in front of a microphone and tell the world he was Jesus reborn? Or would he be more effective by letting people come into his presence and allow themselves to be guided and held, reflected and transformed and shown their own divinity? If Jesus or Buddha or Mohammad were to stand in front of me, or I in front of them I hope I can be strong enough and grounded enough to ask for a hug. Wouldn't that be the most beautiful thing to receive. What a hoot! To be touched by a presence of that calibre - could I love myself enough to have that pleasure?

All those people are only responsible for creating man's made religion. So they would have a hard time proving anything. However... Jesus is the exception as he is resurrected... so he is still alive... and one would imagine that he has great powers... so it should not be too difficult for him to prove who he is. But you are right... apart from the very religious people who are prepared to believe anything their faith throw at them... but will not believe in any scientific evidence... The opposite is true... Those people like me who rather believe in scientific evidence will want proves if anyone claims to be Jesus. Now... I would love to see the real Jesus coming back and proving to all those who did not believe that they were wrong. But that said... even if Jesus can prove that I was wrong... I am going to have a long list of questions for him... because him and his father have a lot to answer for...

I remember the first time I took my son to a baptist church, he was 4. Upon leaving, he said, "The music was good but I don't think that Jesus wanted a fan club" From the mouths of babes, right? I don't think that any of these religious gurus or leaders would announce themselves as such. I mean, it's not quite the same as showing up in a cape and saying "I'm Batman"! Lol. You always know when you are in the presence of loving energy. (Sort of like reading your discussions, perspectives, and the way that you respond to posts!) Christ energy, christ-light, Namaste - if I can recognize the Christ energy in a neighbor or a cyber-friend, surely I would feel it while in the presence of the "original" Christ. No announcement, explanation nor fan club would be needed. What would I do? Same thing I do everyday - try to learn something. My husband (raised a Catholic) asked me what would I do if Jesus came again and said that I really did need to worship in a church and confess my sins and all the rigamorole that comes with religion that I just don't go for? I said that I would laugh hard, shrug my shoulders and find out if he really is a good sport!

It would take something spectacular for me to believe Jesus had returned. If someone just walked up and said, "I'm Jesus" there would be no reason to believe that. When Jesus returns,it will be the end of the world. So that would not just be someone walking around like a normal person. There will be phenomenal events throughout the universe when that happens.

I think for someone to actually stand up and claim to be Jesus or Mohammed etc. then they would either have to be a)very brave b)very stupid c)the real deal I can still remember the ridicule that followed David Ike when he claimed to be the Son of God, and I imagine that the same would be true now - unless they weren't famous and just got sent to a psych unit. I think amongst the religious community it would cause a great deal of consternation. For example, say some guy claimed to be Jesus then Christians would either be proclaiming the Second Coming or denouncing a false prophet. But if this individual WAS proved to be Jesus then the implications would be massive. Other religions would be cast into serious doubt as people would be demanding that their deities put in an appearance. Also faith would take a serious knock as all religions claim to be the one true path. Could you really continue to be a Muslim when Jesus has just appeared on Earth? How long would you wait for Allah to appear? Similarly wouldn't this mean that we would have to accept the stories of the Bible as historical fact - as many would already have us believe. Would there be more religious fervor as devout Christians preach to the unconverted who no longer have the 'prove it' response to hide behind? Personally, I don't know how I would react. I don't actually subscribe to any religion but I would like to think that I would at least be receptive to such an event.

well, if jesus (or whoever) did come back... they would need to do some miracles.. or else they would end up in a nut house. plus, they would need to challenge david blane and chris angel.. but let me be the first [atheist] to say that if this happened, i would be a believer.. but... i would have a LOT of questions for this guy... all the logical and historical inconsistencies in the bible and for god... i mean, i would tear this guy apart with my questions...lol and so would other atheists.. but, since he knows everything, we would get all of our answers and we would be satisfied.. but would we go to heaven? i dont know... and i dont really care because i understood "why".. but this is all obviously out of the question.. as there is no [Judeo-Christian] god and all religion is wrong.

I always thought that if Jesus came down , he would be arrested for disturbing the peace.I think all would be in modern dress.I think that Jesus wouldn't be able to go to temple or He wouldn't be able to get into Christian churches either.Mohammad may have a better go at being accepted.And Buddha would would have the best chance of his message being accepted because he would appear as a dream.And Moses. He would be dismissed as a cult leader.Anyway, how could Moses get all his people to go?These days Jews are all over the world and are not in bondage so they wouldn't follow him.

I think that those that believe in God would know if they met him. I think those that don't believe would be trying to convince everyone that it wasn't really God. AT PEACE WITHIN
