A Counterfeit God: An Unbeliever Looks At JesusBelievers say Jesus is the perfect human being. The great teacher. The good shepherd. The world’s savior. God.Believers also say Jesus will return soon. So does the last book of scripture, which says it “must shortly come to pass” that “he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him.”It hasn’t shortly come to pass. It hasn’t come to pass at all.And Jesus himself says: “After that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, And the stars of heaven shall fall . . . And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. . . . Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done.”Where to begin? The moon has no light of its own to give; it merely reflects sunlight. Stars are too massive to fall to earth. If anything falls, it will be the earth, falling into a star.And the generation has long since passed. No stars of heaven have fallen to earth. No Son of man has come in the clouds.Jesus and his Believers are wrong about his Second Coming. Do they make any other blunders?Yes, lots-as we shall see. |
