I've been doing a lot of thinking lately... religious/spiritually. How apparantly there's supposed to be this more recent coming of Jesus Christ. But - how are we so sure that Jesus is going to be the same exact person he was. We dont know for absolute sure that it was the same exact "Jesus Christ" that came in whatever second comming (I dont know half of what I'm talking about, because I've actually never studied christianity or whatever yet... just because the bible study as a piece of literature class I wanted to take in high school was canceled and I never got a chance to take it). But from what I've heard from other christians - the "lord and savior" will come once again to save us all. But like I just said - perhaps the second "Jesus" wasnt the first Jesus, but a "Jesus" that Jesus taught to be Jesus... finding people who look like you isnt that hard (well today, another rant on that another day), Jesus could have found a pretty darn look alike and used him as a ploy to make people believe a ressurection has happened.
Alright... this is the part where I tell you all how what I think of Jesus Christ. This is all stipulation, because... well - apparantly he was born 2005 years ago or something. All I know is some things that people can do in human nature, and the possibilitys for creativeness to do things. I think Jesus was something of a trickster - magician if you will. He'd have staged miricles to gather people to his view of christianity. He took the word "God" and made it so that everyone could feel good about themselves, each other, and their religion (with some set-stone 10 rules, of course). I think he was a positive thinker, and help mold Christianity into what he hoped would be an immortal religion of positiveness. Sounds like he was manipulative, but not in the sense that he would give him a bad twist... manipulation can be used to entertain, enjoy, make good. Modern day example of this benevolent manipulation is the moden-day magicians. Which leads me to my final thing I think about the first Jesus... he either had a twin/lookalike... or he created a trick that would make it look as if he had died (or his look alike had died)... either way... if there was only one Jesus (and not a "Jesus") then he probably created his own ingenious death-defying magic trick (if you learn the secets of modern-day magicians... many of their tricks are very simplistic... such that even in Jesus's day such magic could be arranged... well... of course he wouldnt have a car racing towards him back then... but hopefully you can grasp that Jesus may not have really died untill after the second "Jesus" had died.
As for the next, newer Jesus... I dont know if he (or she) will ever come... and if this Jesus comes... there lies many questions... is he the original Jesus... a ressurection of the original? if not... how can the world be sure that the person who says they're the ultimate savior is really Jesus. Where will he come from? if it's a reincarnation - what would be Jesus's modern-day background, sex, race... everything be? Kind of the whole "What if God was one of us" but it's more "What if Jesus is now one of us, and no one knows it yet?" Above all - how will this new Jesus (assuming the reincarnation) know he's the new Jesus... or how would scientists try to explain Jesus's ressurection (or... would it be the actual scientist that attempt the very art or ressurection). Or perhaps someone needs to be the trickster again... take the lead... and make themeself the next savior. Perhaps this is what the world needs... one great, intelligent, goodhearted person to take charge and make the world a better place just by being influential... and influencing one of the biggest religions in the known world...
Just something I've been thinking about
