Would a loving Jesus or God wait this long before reappearing?
Would he continue to allow a new holocaust every year?
Look at it this way, the longer he waits, the more time you have to repent for your sins.
Would a loving Jesus or God wait this long before reappearing?
Not so. The Jesus Christians are familiar with believe that he and God are one in the same.- John 10:30 I and my Father are one.
Jesus would know and live in the same kind of time frame as you and I. He would perceives time as you and I do.
He has been gone, to some, and to himself, for 2000 years. To others, who see Jesus as an archetype, much longer. Back to Egypt and Sumer. I am of this group and see Jesus born in the 4th millennium BC. That or he was what, the 7th bastard son of God. God forbid.
How can you possibly 'think' what others think? Christians believe that God is not good, But Great.
The God I know is a good God and I recognize that you think your God is a good God as well.
Christians follow the ten commandments. If only politicians did that this world would be a better place
I want to highlight here that the word God also represents your political God as defined as whatever set of rules you follow day to day. Atheists can thus have a God without it being an insult, as well as all other peoples.
Please, if you would be so kind as to elaborate and or define Good and God.
Defining the word good, in God’s absence, is quite the chore as our self pride tries to make us all lower case g Gods. A good thing.
I suggest that God and Jesus are progressively less good and more cruel, over time, if he or they do not reappear. That would be immoral and God cannot be immoral.
Do you even know what a covenant is? Please, what covenant have they broke? So far all covenants have been fullfilled.
I suggest that God and or Jesus, real or not, have broken their covenant with mankind.
As we speak, 6 million starve to death yearly. 1 holocaust per year my friends. No God or Jesus who wants to be seen as having relevance, kindness or mercy for mankind, would be waiting in the wings as this and other carnage ravages the human race. No way.
How so? please again elaborate? Man broke this first covenant with god.
God began to break his covenant with mankind in Eden by cursing the earth and has progressively pulled further back and lives up to at least one small part of the covenant but allowing, if you please, man kind their Dominion.
It is no wonder that Bible God will have no one above him. No one can stoop that low.

i agree with you in a sence, we are Gods of our own lives... i don't like to use the Term God when refering to myself though. Lord of my own domain might be easier to handle, but again its still a label.
We are of God but only a part of the whole...
“The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance. ” (2 Pe 3:9)
“As the bridegroom was delayed, they all became drowsy and slept. ” (Mt 25:5)

Did he not interfere by sending his only son to die for our sins?
The big question I have is why did he appear two thousand years ago and why not now? With all the forms of communication available today, he would have been able to get his message out to world wide audience and not just a few hundred thousand.

I don't like saying this but, Jesus was just a man my friend. The churches made him into a God which he wasn't... Sent from God i'll agree with that, a teacher of the highest knowledge, i'll give him that for sure.
The idea of Jesus returning is a myth, but in fact some people say he has already returned! Not in the flesh, but in the hearts of men.
Considering how many people are learning the truth spiritual path in these days, i would tend to agree with that...
