Wearing clean underwear would be a bonus, too. Especially if wearing a skirt.

That applies only to Jesus, of course. He's the one you will be staring up at.  ;)

Well, I was thinking of all those people shooting up into the clouds, and the unfortunate view for those left behind...

They will be too busy crying and gritting their teeth to notice. Best buying a gum sheild... :-X

Didn't I hear a Christian call you a heretic, you'll be doing the crying. :)

If you don't know why you should not have written the above then you are not as smart as you think you are.

A Christian as defined by what....

You need to stay within your depth...

He gave the impression he would return in the lifetime of his disciples, 'this generation will not pass away', etc.
Unfortunately, Floo, the Greek word that some translators translate as 'generation' in English doesn't necessarily have the same meaning as in English. In Greek, it referred to 'race, family or generation'.
In context, it clearly means "generation". The other meanings are bullshit designed to avoid embarrassment.

I see you kept the banana skin and through the banana away....

The Kingdom being the focus point. Upon his death and resurrection the Kingdom was established even before that generation passed.

You all claim different things, Alan. That there is no Christian consensus is not my fault or my problem, but yours. So instead of the brush off, why not explain what you mean.
Andy, unlike many religions where an adherent's relationship is with a set of rules, Christianity is all about a relationship with a sentient being - the Creator. 

As I am sure you will accept, that type of relationship is always far more diverse and personal than any relationship with sets of rules.  I doubt that, if those of us with siblings were to explain our and our siblings' relationships with our parents, we would say that the relationship was identical for each of us.

What has this got to do with anything? Something is either true about Jesus or it is not true. That Jesus took you to feed the ducks but played Subbuteo with your brother is of no consequence.

It is all in the Words of Christ ...IN THE BIBLE...

Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

What you believe you know about the bible is all in your mind as the things you write clearly prove. When do you intend to read it, so you know what it actually teaches?

The quotes are from the Bible, not from Sassy's mind.  I thought you'd read it?  You should know then.

The second coming has been predicted imminently for centuries, and still no show. ::) Why should it be given anymore credence than the idiots who give specific dates for its ending, like Harold Campion and the US pastor who said it would end yesterday?

The signs that would come before it, have not yet happened.
We will all know when Christ returns they won't need to predict it, and it cannot be predicted.

As in the days of the floo-d lol... People will carry on doing everything as normal and bam there it is, the end.

What signs?
Is there a check-list?
