But that fellow had his second coming already when he came back resurrected from the dead.
Matthew 16:27 For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father's glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what he has done.
Matthew 24:27 For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.
Matthew 24:30 "At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and all the nations of the earth will mourn. they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky, with power and great glory.

It says when he comes back, how he will come back. Resurrected from the dead, does not follow these attributes.

That's GOT to be just the biggest cloud ever! Every nation will see it.

If it blocks out the sun how are we all supposed to see him coming? It will be dark.

I'm learning that threads that contain the Bible or any religious tones can be quite confusing on the level where there are many minds thinking and contemplating who or what God is TO THEM.
I am coming to believe we ALL hold half truths and TOGETHER have the absolute ( ONE TRUTH).
So, with that said it takes MANY ways to reach the ONE way, and this is OUR story even though we also have ONE story.
Jesus shows us three, three, three!
He will come again the third time to bring life!
I can expand on this thought process.edit on 15-9-2012 by MamaJ because: (no reason given)

What is the Lie? Could it be that the referenced "second" coming is not even recorded in the bible? Could it be you are not aware that the Bible doesn't state "Second" coming at all? So it cannot be a lie since there is no use of the term "second" coming. There are multiple references to his "coming" or "return". Not his "second" coming. This is a part of Christian Doctrine taught by most ministers and clergy evidenced by the fact that there is really only a reference to His returning again, and they reference it a "second" coming.
. Add 1+1 to equal 2 meaning second. Some Christians actually believe in 3 comings. My point is that the Bible doesn't even use the word/term second in reference to the return of Jesus. So how can you call something a lie that isn't in the book to begin with. It is doctrine.
It is not recorded. The term again is used. among other terms. But you can return again and again and again. Second coming or Third coming is not a lie. It is based on study of individual people and their belief.
There belief is simply that. Keeping in mind they all believe he is indeed going to return.
Please show me chapter and verse where it says he will be coming back a "second" time.
I personally believe Jesus can return as often as he wishes. The key is not in the number of times he returns for whatever reason. The key is in the event itself and being prepared for it.
People have made this doctrine. It is based on sound evidence, but there are many that dispute it.
Second...coming .... It is not in the Bible. The return/coming is.
It is very clear you have not read this book. If you had read the Bible you would know that "second coming" is not in it. Only his return. He could return a hundred times and none of us would be aware.
The only contradiction is in the mind of man.

Sound evidence? Show me sound evidence that a dead guy has ever dropped out of the sky and come to life again.

Sounds like a poorly told lie that is easy to spot by whomever was behind those books in the bible.
