I generally use these types of people as an example to my children of what NOT to grow up to be like. That is the only value they have to me.

Christ is not coming back as a man. He is coming back in Glory, from above.

Hold on. He is God and man.

A CROSS on the courthouse lawn? Does that mean a manger scene is allowed now,too?

Only if there is a dog in the manger.

Leesburg went through a fight over a manger, and it was decided that a manger was OK if it was part of a set of displays. So they have 10 displays on a first-come, first-served basis.

I don’t see a problem with a crucified Santa skeleton, from a messaging perspective. Santa isn’t christmas for me, and you can’t destroy my Christ.

However, I totally support the woman tearing down the thing just because it WOULD be traumatic for children. It was stupid to allow a decidedly non-PG image like that on public property where children would be expected to see it.

Now, I never had my kids believing in Santa Claus. But many others do, and to take a kid who believes in Santa Claus, and show him as a skeleton being brutally tortured, is just wrong.

This is hideous, mocking and does not belong on state property. I would have torn it down too.

What book? If you mean the Bible, you will need to provide a verse (or verses) to support your contention that Jesus is no longer the Godman.

Ummm, lets see, He arose and ascended into heaven, returning to the Father. And there He is now. When He comes again, it will be from heaven, as He is now, not being born again into the world from a woman.

Nowhere does it say he’ll come again from a woman.

1 Thess 4:

16. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17. Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

Jesus comes again, as He is now, not being birthed into the world again.

At no time did I say He wasn’t who He was, I did take exception to the mistaken idea that He will be ‘birthed’ into the world when He returns.

Who stated the latter? Not I.

Jesus has a resurrected "body". He is the firstborn of many brethren (Romans 8:29). The cults deny the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ. I know of no scripture which states that he chucks this resurrected body, ever.

Well FRiend, you came in after the intiail post I wwas responding to. That poster opined that Jesus had been perhaps trying to come back, but had probably been aborted several times. I merely pointed out that He was not returning that way, but coming directly from heaven.
