now, please tell me where it says Jesus is coming back a second and then THIRD time????
Nice passages. Don't expect it to cut through the concrete though. WRT to this "coming back" rhetorical exchange, they only have TWO coming backs, and THREE total visitations. The first coming was as an infant, the second is sort of a U-Turn at cruising altitude and because of its proximity of seven years, as opposed to thousands of years for the final return to make blood animal sacrifices to Himself in a temple made with human hands, they call it one trip divided up two phases. Conveniently divided up like they freely divide up the Church of God into two phases or flocks.
But I wouldn't be too smug about the three trips since the Post Millennialists demand three trips. The first in Bethlehem, the second coming in 70AD to bring to end the temple system, and the Parousia as the third.
I would lay low on that three trip antagonism, glass houses, don'tcha know.
i appreciate the advice, but Jesus did not return in 70ad. He will only return once, and EVERYONE will know it. no U-turns, no secret coming, no 7 year tribulation, this is all nonsense. the Creed states He will come again to judge the living and the dead, this is the Catholic Faith since 33ad, i see no reason to believe otherwise!!
