What if Christ returns?
Post #1What If a random person would get a lot of attention in the media all the sudden because he claims to be the son of God?

I have such a hard time now and again realising that people actually do believe these things. Questions such as this really bring it to the fore. At least I can rest assured that since I'm going to have a hard time believing that anyone at all is Jesus, I probably won't be tricked by Damien.

Thanks for sharing that, goat. This is proof of peoples' credulousness and stupidity. Allow me to share the Gnostic view of the Second Coming.
The "dead rising" in Revelation connotes the Second Coming of the Christos or Christ Consciousness into humanity in the Christian version of the mythos. It is called the "Second Coming" in two different ways: One being that it would be the second turning of the Ages (Aries-Pisces to Pisces-Aquarius) within the Christian era. The other is more esoteric and goes in line with the Kabbalistic mystery schools. To make it as simple as possible without going into a lot of Kabbalah jargon, it is the coming of what is called the Second Adam or New Adam (i.e. the dawning of a new archetypal human life and arc of humanity). This is also what is known to Gnostics as the Sethian Generation, which was Adam's third son in the Hebrew cosmology/mythology of Genesis, and was a more complete and holy image of his father, hence the Sethian Generation connotes a more complete and holy image of humanity.
This goes along with the Gnostics' understanding of the Death/Crucifixion and Resurrection/Ascension of the Christ. You see, the Resurrected Body of Christ is not one physical body, rather an evercoming multitude of Spiritual Bodies that inhabit individual physical bodies but are connected by the One Christ Spirit. This is the meaning of the "dead rising" from the Book of Revelation: The holy sparks of the divine are being released inside the consciousness of the human soul, and so another level of enlightenment is attained collectively throughout the entire world - it is truly the coming of a New Age. This is the meaning behind all the lamb references of Christ, for Jesus, as many others, was a personification of the Solar-avatar Spirit of the Age of Aries, which is transforming through "death" and "resurrection" into the Solar-avatar Spirit of Pisces, hence the "fisher of men." However, though the appearance changes through the Ages, the Bridegroom and Bride are forever the One Christ Spirit in essence. I speak this secret to you from the Gnostic Gospel of Truth, my friends, for the Holy Mother Spirit is stirring souls at this very moment to awaken to the Christ Spirit within them and take their place among the Enlightened and Liberated Body of Christ in this coming new age!
In other words, there is no anti-Christ that is or will be one person, rather the anti-Christ has always been here. The same goes for Christ. It is an evercoming collective human phenomenon. This is the major mistake that almost all people assume or believe. It is the result of the ignorance of the vulgar masses. It's beyond any god delusion; it's mass stupidity, and in my belief system stupidity is a cardinal sin.
If the devil does not exist, like this guy in Florida claims, then why is he sitting next to me right now having a glass of wine and smokin' a doobie. I get along with Satan just fine. In fact, if it weren't for him telling me all these groovy secrets, I wouldn't be able to impart all this cool stuff to you guys. So give ole' Beelzebub the thanks; not me.
Praise be to the Lord of Light who dispels the darkness within us. Blessed is the Light-bearer, or Christ-bearer, who is thou, o Lucifer, Star of the Dawn!

Now some of you may encounter the devils bargain if you get that far. Any old soul is worth saving at least to a priest, but not every soul is worth buying. So you can take the offer as a compliment.

It is a little difficult for anyone to be OF somewhere that did not even exist AS a "place" until hundreds of years AFTER their purported life.
