I don't know if you are a Christian or not, I'm not even going to try to persuade you to answer this or to believe in what I believe but here is my question.. Do you believe that Jesus is coming back? My answer is YES, He is coming back. He said in Revelation 22.. "Behold, I am coming soon!"
Jesus said a parable in Matthew 25: "At that time, the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish and five were wise. The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them. 4The wise, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps. 5The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep. "At midnight the cry rang out: 'Here's the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!' "Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps. The foolish ones said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.' " 'No,' they replied, 'there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.' "But while they were on their way to buy the oil, the bridegroom arrived. The virgins who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet. And the door was shut. "Later the others also came. 'Sir! Sir!' they said. 'Open the door for us!'
"But he replied, 'I tell you the truth, I don't know you.'
"Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.
We do not know the day or the hour when Jesus is coming back. I'm telling you that not many will believe and many will be deceived. But I encourage you, Jesus is still inviting you! The door is still open! (Revelation 4:1)
Jesus is coming back! He is coming back soon!

I believe that Jesus is coming back definatly. And in the mean time we are suposed to be preaching His word and helping others to welcome Him when he comes back. But you see what is happening right now? So many people are being downtrodden and weakend by what going on with everything right now. Dont be weakend nor be disheartend. Keep your faith strong and BUILD one another.

That is true, ladygator. We are so busy with the things of this world when we're supposed to be constantly building our relationship with Jesus on a solid rock foundation so that when he comes back, we will not be offended by the things that he will do to this earth. He will come to judge all the earth, and he will come like the rain.. in the most unexpected manner and time. God bless you! Keep the faith, keep pressing on!

I believe He will come back. I say so because his return depends upon his first coming. And in his first coming he said that he'd come back. I don't see reason why this cannot be taken to be a promise.

Yes I believe with all my heart that Jesus is coming back soon. As it was in the days of Noah so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. We are most likely the generation that will witness it for we are living in "Noah days" time where wickedness is at its height, where people are mostly godless, lovers of selves, lovers of money, lovers of pleasures, no reverence for the things of God.

I wholeheartedly believe that Jesus is coming back. There's no way that you can be a Christian and not believe that. The Jewish people at the time when Christ was alive were looking for the kind of Messiah that would ride in, sword in hand and save the day. Jesus didn't choose that path and instead of recognizing Him as the Messiah, the Jews chose to think of Jesus as a prophet and a great man.
Look around at our world and the things that are happening. All of the signs are there that Jesus's return is drawing near. When I say near it may not be near in our human terms here on Earth. God's timing is different from ours and only He knows when the time is right. I don't know if I'll be alive to see the Second Coming but I know that I'll be ready for when Christ comes back and I'll be taken to Heaven where I'll worship the Lord forever.

No he isn't coming back but it's a matter of faith i guess.
I believe in Jesus and find the thing he said as good guide lines to how to live your life.
I don't mean there was anything god blessing over him so there for I don't belielive he comes back.
