Varg Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 What if Jesus never "came to earth" (I think that's the expression) back in the time of the Romans? There would be no Christianity and other religions that feature Jesus would be different or not exist. What if he came here now, in 2009? How do you think people would rect to him? Again, just wondering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihil Obstat Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Darn good question! I think he'd likely be denounced as a dangerous radical by nearly everybody, harassed constantly by citizens and government. That's just a really brief thought with little reflection.

Selah Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 [quote]ZomG! Rexi haz a typo!!![/quote] Well...Jesus would probably be seen as a radical or a religious zealot of some kind. By others a great spiritual leader. The world would be different for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, just wondering [/quote] There are many people who claim to be Jesus or Messiah reincarnated, so he would be treated the same as them. Unless he performed some miracles to prove it. Hey wait a minute isn't that what he did? So people would probably react exactly as they did 2000 years ago. Human nature being unchanged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
