Had he simply waited 2 thousand years all of his works would have been documented in 4K/HDR/120hz and there wouldn't be holy wars and confusion?

Why bestow this kind of wisdom to illiterate people in the desert?

 

[Gifmaker]

It's 2021 and some people don't even believe in the coronavirus, man

 

[Birdo]

Jesus would have been banned from Twitter for referring to god as "Him".

Yeah sorry but the bible says "Thou shalt have no other gods before me". But you do you.

 

[PleaseDontBanMe]

Jesus would have been banned from Twitter for referring to god as "Him".

and the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) would have probably been murdered for sharing a photo of himself on his twitter handle

This

In this day and age, fulfilling wonders wouldn‘t work.

Twitter, aka “The Dragon”

 

[PleaseDontBanMe]

Also, since this thread will probably do numbers...

Does anyone know where I can find a fully dumped Rom file of the game "Paprium"?

 

[belmarduk]

Jesus would probably be ok with his magic tricks and whatnot.
Mohammed probably wouldn't get too far with his "an angel came to me in a cave and told me to document what god says, despite the fact I'm illiterate" bit.

 

[SJRB]

It's outrageous of you to even consider that [a] god is real.

[FreedomOfSpeech]

Perhaps you should feel less, and think more.

 

[Diddy X]

It doesn't work like that, if you have faith you don't need that kind of proof lol, also the "confusion" and holy wars are irrelevant, also very little people will be saved, like 1 out of 10, God doesn't really care about beating the devil in numbers.

Why did he create an arch nemesis for himself in the first place?

Bruce Lee told me the opposite

 

[Diddy X]

The devil is a rebel that chose his own path and he has got nothing on God it's just that his ways are more attractive to the common person which all lead to misery btw.

 

[trikster40]

It wouldn’t require any faith, so kind of blows his whole salvation plan out of the water.

 

[mr.dilya]

There is no mystery god, the son of man has searched for this so-called mystery god for trillions of years and was unable to find a mystery god, so they have agreed that the only god is the sun of man. So they lose no more time searching for that that does not exist.

 

[Northeastmonk]

Yeah, the blood covenant would be hard to justify in modern times. Imagine the fear people had of going to hell when they couldn’t Google it? Which makes me wonder, why didn’t Jesus come back? Did he just wait for social media to take everyone’s soul. He/Him must have known that Tiktok, Facebook, and YouTube would turn his children away from him. Religion is oppression in a lot of ways. It feeds on someone’s fear of death. I sometimes wonder why Jesus promised to come back and we have multiple generations of people living and dying. It doesn’t make sense to me. Is he waiting for us to bring back the dead before he makes an appearance?

 

[Pagusas]

Is it outrageous for you to think you know better/are smarter than an omnipotent being?

I don’t know.

 

[Punished Miku]

Is it outrageous for you to think you know better/are smarter than an omnipotent being?

I don’t know.

If you're arrogantly assuming you know as much as an omnipotent being that created you, then is it really your fault since he made you that way and knew ahead of time you would think that?

 

[Pagusas]

If you're arrogantly assuming you know as much as an omnipotent being that created you, then is it really your fault since he made you that way and knew ahead of time you would think that?

I’m sure there is some grand butterfly effect in play where the OP’s insubordination will inspire/lead to some greater good in the universe.

 

[farmerboy]

I mean, back then it was a flood, some guys walking through a desert and a hippie preaching love who got a very raw deal and got crucified for his trouble.

We might see Armageddon. Now thats gonna be a real shitshow worth seeing.

I can't tell if this is deeply, incredibly, profound or just typical internet drivel with a key typo

 

[Tertullian]

Extremely presumptuous to assume that anything like "modern times" would exist if Christianity had never existed.

 

[Taxexemption]

If he had come today we would crucify him again, and big tech would do everything in its power to make sure you can't find any videos of miracles he performed, and scientists on hand to explain "these are just tricks/illusions."


Part of the message is that the people that killed him knew he was divine but killed him anyways because he was a threat to their power.

 

[BigBooper]

You think there would be less confusion with all the deepfakes and cgi available? Not logical.

 

[GeorgPrime]

Jesus would have been banned from Twitter for referring to god as "Him".

Everyone would have complained that Jesus is a white male and not a black women.

 

[Outlier]

That's the challenge you're presented with. God set the stage. Now you must perform. You will be judged.

 

[22•22]

The timing of if doesnt matter if consciousness isn't ready. Also, who cares about love and all the ascension it'll bring if there's a construct in which power above others etc is still a thing?

 

[22•22]

Judged by whom?

 

[Mohonky]

Well Mormons still believe a dude translated a script only he could read. Didn't stop people from buying into that.

This is my biggest knock against religion. It’s eyewitness accounts documented originally in a different language on papyrus or stone tablets and the true source material Is long since decomposed: as a result, no one knows what the original writer’s intent or literal true words were. Like if I say “Ni Hao” it’s translated to “Hello” but it actually means “You Good?”

If anything I’m with TJefferson if god exists it’s a divine watch maker and or the laws of physics who set it and forgot it. Plus any sufficiently advanced technology to quote Clarke is indistinguishable from magic: show up in ancient Mesopotamia in body armor with an AK47 boomstick or even a revolver and suddenly you are the indestructible god of war and fire.

 

[Majima Everywhere System]

No way. I'm surprised he didn't come back in the Medieval period as well.

We just need more miracle. Like a new internet.

And That is 1 of 10 Christians.

Exactly. God is not limited by time and space. The stage was set and the creator knows every in and out and possibility.

It's not even a knock, just simple, factual and logical observation.

Events, knowledge and such forth that's worthy in a general sense and more so to such an extent it has to be preserved, maintaining it's pure message is inherently subjugated to subjective interpretation, abilitys, intention and more facets to even count of the subjects that have to do the maintaining. Over time the facts and (subtle) changes that have to be made in terms of orginal experience >> interpretation with knowledge gained as time passed. Therefore reinterpretation which would make the retelling (for lack of a better word) parallel with the ever evolving consciousness as time goes. This is not the case.

Blabla to much so say. Nvm.

TLDR: My English sucks, sorry...

 

[MastaKiiLA]

God was a notoriously poor-planner. Just look at all the revisions to the Bible. He wanted to get the shit out of the way so that he could chillax for a few millenia.

 

[belmarduk]

Joseph Smith did that in the 1800s. Today we have the internet and it is easy to debunk scams like that. He also never had the following Jesus did.

 

[Mobilemofo]

If he has returned, he has some fuckin questions to answer.. Where the fuck have you been? Why have you done nothing? Why haven't you told anybody about your return? It's a bit rude mate.. Can I have your mobile number?

Also, if having faith means you require no proof, as people believe, then it's a full © isn't it..

 

[haxan7]

The moral principles of religion guided civilization to where it is today.

 

[22•22]

The moral principles of religion guided civilization to where it is today.

The initial *teachings* that led to the construct we call religion has to be perceived as separate and treated as such. Think basing your beliefs, morals and fundamental way you use to base everything on is based on a news report instead of having first hand knowledge/experience

 

[ArtemisClydeFrog]

He wasn't a white male. And he's dead so he's not coming back to save anyone. Been a few thousand years, time to move on.

 

[manfestival]

What if Bruce Willis saves us from an asteroid that is making it's way towards earth? Ultimately sacrificing himself for humanity.

 

[Pol Pot]

Religion is what happens when Carnies settle down.

 

[GeorgPrime]

Would be hard for him to come back to life... r3spawning in space without an space suit

 

[IDKFA]

Maybe God just saw that we're hopeless and has truly left us.

Can't blame him to be honest.

 

[T8SC]

We have flat Earthers in 2021.

That says it all. Proof means nothing to some people.

Gender only matters in a construct in which it does. Information is timeless. The mere fact you're having to reply to such a comment speaks volumes to our collective level of consciousness and therefore single handedly makes OP's question very difficult to discuss.
