If Jesus is God then God is destroying the planet. Why would Jesus need to “return” to do it?

These freaks are why people turn away from organized religion.

The Devil alone is responsible for turning hearts away from Christ, He just convinces you He doesn’t exist first so you have to blame someone or something else for your folly.

No one actually knows what Jesus is or was. For one, he was changed by the resurrection, as were the rules of the game. Also, we do not know all the mysteries of the Almighty: "But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets. - Rev. 10:7

It's easy to see why many people are turned off by "organized religion" because once a people organized around a belief, the pursuit of truth often interferes with the needs of those in charge to maintain a status quo.

One thing scripture makes perfectly clear though, is that pursuit of truth/reasoning is a far greater desire for us of the Almighty than maintaining some status quo (i.e, organized religion). You only have to read the four gospels and the teachings of Yeshua (Jesus) and how they contradicted the organized beliefs of his day to realize this is true.

You don’t have to look hard to see “strong delusion” these days...
