I'm thinking about a plant shorter than a tree. ;O)
And as I think of it.... Jesus didn't make that claim. It was, John, the voice from the cloud and then Peter. Actually, His mother was the first to tell Him to do a miracle. He did finally confirm the "accusation" of the High Priest at the beginning of his ordeal and later Pilot asked Him whether He was King of the Jews and He said "yes."
Disneyland or McDonalds.
He will show up at one of them.
"Ram Bahadur Bomjam, 17, who shot to fame in 2005 when his supporters said he had begun a meditation session that would go on uninterrupted for years,"
Heck, that's NUTHIN'....!!!
We've got College Students who are 29 and STILL haven't declared a major.
"When someone claims to be holy, let alone godlike, or even god-on-earth, I have to laugh.
Only the judgement of history can make such claims."
So, 2000 years ago, when Christ was walking around saying He was the Son of God, you would have laughed?
Just asking.

Ping to me on that one. Tuition, the gift that just keeps ...
Just asking.

I am not a Jew living in Roman-dominated palestine in 30-40 BC.
Perhaps I would have laughed. Perhaps I would have said and done nothing. Perhaps I would have followed him.
I was not there, and neither were you.
Gee whiz....don't CRUCIFY the guy, after all....he's got his doubts, Thomas...!!!
17, huh.......yeah, he's "meditating" alright.
I thought he referred to himself as the son of man.......
So did Jesus of Nazareth.
Also a lot of folks who could not shine my boots, including Charles Manson.
I could refer to myself as the "son of man" or even as "son of god".
I know better. I am just an ordinary man. A working stiff. A VOTER.
"I was just wondering how to tell when Christ returns, that He is the real thing.
Apparently Lib has no more idea than I do, so will just have to continue to ask.

Well, it would be MY guess that those who don't know NOW....won't know THEN, either....!!!
mea culpa.
***I thought He referred to Himself as the son of man.......
Referring, of course, to Jesus, son of Joseph, of the House of David.
Just back, what happened to the buddha boy?
Got laid.
Got a job.
Met Hildebeast on her "goodwill tour".
Was so repulsed, went back into the jungle and hid in a dark cave.
