If Jesus comes back will we get a new bible?

I do not believe we will need or get a new Bible. The Bible we have now is because we did not have the teaching of Christ in the flesh, when he have that, we will not have need of any new Bibles.

Assuming it actually happens, we wouldn’t get one while it was going on, but someone is bound to write it all down for the future. Much like a history book. Pretty much everything is documented for prosperity.

There will be a “REALLY New Testament”, most likely written by the Prophet Geraldo Rivera. In it, God will be revealed as being very much like Rodney Dangerfield…

If Jesus comes back, everybody will forget the Bible.

Possibly The Nouveau Txtspk Tstmnt with links to Facebook, Twitter, iPhoto, Flickr, etc.

If Jesus existed and If he came back, no one would believe it anyway. There is too much money sunk into churches and religious based charities and other institutions – to say nothing of the huge payrolls in the so-called religious organizations, that anything that would rock that boat would be denied.

Consider this – if Jesus did come back, which of the 500 christian organizations would calim him as their franchise? Can you imagine the religious wars?? Baptist Church – we have the REAL Jesus. Jehovas Witnesses: Accept No SUbstitutes—our guy is the real one!! and so on.

The fact is that if Jesus came back he would probably be a liberal Jew. That would really piss people off.

@elbanditoroso Can you sum up what is a liberal Jew? Wikipedia is too long and boring to read.

@augustlan I think you mean “posterity”… then again, the author may be hoping for prosperity.

Nothing special – no fancy definitions – @talljasperman . I’m not referring to reform jews or liberal jews in the “institutional” sense as the various organizations try and frame things.

I talking about a man who identifies himself with jewish teachings, the old testament (only), but who is more interested in good works and deeds than the strict letters of the Torah. A person who enjoyed learning and discovering rather than being bound by the beliefs of the past.

In other words, liberal in its historical/traditional sense.

And Jewish, because, well, when Jesus was killed by the romans, there was no such thing as christianity.

@Adagio Ack! I did mean posterity. <hangs head in shame>

No because Jesus comes totake us home so the rest of you apparently suffer hell on earth.

I shake my head in disbelief… I have never seen Auggie make a mistake before

When Jesus comes back, there will be no doubt it’s Him, and I don’t think he will be here for more teaching.

@filmfann You haven’t been paying attention, then. It happens more often than I’d like! :p

@augustlan you’d be less than human if you made no mistakes, I’ll take the human augustlan thanks : ^)

second what @Hypocrisy_Central said.

@gailcalled…lol

@josie That assumes that they haven’t already. Anybody who follows the King James version certainly has no knowledge of the Bible.

@elbanditoroso And that is why I’m an Agnostic!

I think that modern society is too cynical to accept Jesus’ return. Things that peopel in past centuries would pass as miracles would be met with skepticism; too many of us have seen David Blaine levitate. And, as has been mentioned, there is no way that he would be accepted by about half of Americans unless he belittled the poor and slaughtered the gays; the instant healed a poor person or stopped a hate crime, he would “prove” himself to be the Anti-Christ.

No, I think that Jesus would be ignored, vilified, or just plain put in a loonie bin with all of the other people claiming to be the son of God.

@jerv Blowing Jesus off as crazy would be pretty tough if He returns as described in the Bible.

Hopefully the new one will have photos, and probably lots of photo bombs. Pics make things so much easier to explain.

@genjgal Which Bible, and which sect’s interpretation of it? My point is that many would argue that he wouldn’t be as described in the Bible, and therefore wasn’t actually Jesus. I know Westboro Baptist wouldn’t believe he had any affiliation with Christianity at all unless he went around killing homosexuals.

Yes, it will be miraculously downloaded automatically to every Kindle in the land.

Nook owners like me will evidently be left to ponder the universe in peace, just like ‘back in the day’...

What would really be cool is if he started in on the miracles, proving once again to unbelievers that all things are possible through God. I’ll be all like “now what jellies?!”...lol

No. We’ve given you one already. It is not our fault you don’t take care of your things.

No, I think that Jesus would be ignored, vilified, or just plain put in a loonie bin with all of the other people claiming to be the son of God.
Those other people claiming to be Jesus or the Father, be they in the loony bin or not, can’t actually do any miracles, where as Jesus will come in the clouds and be seen by all, and all at once. That trumps a nutcase quite a bit, wouldn’t you think?

He may have advanced with the times and will download himself as an app to your mobile phone. Books are a bit passé.

@Hypocrisy_Central You didn’t actually read my entire answer, did you? Or maybe you got so riled by the last line that you forgot the previous paragraph, especially the part about cynicism.

The atheists are fighting against Gideons International giving away new Bibles. Do you think they’ll allow Jesus to give out new Bibles?

The old one will be withdrawn from circulation and pulped.

@bkcunningham , you have the story wrong. In the argument is as follows:

The Gideons want to supply bibles to a number of newly remodeled cabins and such that are owned by the State park system and are therefore under the aegis of state power.

Atheists asked for the right to put an atheist tract in the cabins as well. (Either O’hair or Dawkins – the God Deulsion)

That started an uproar – the governor said OK, but “I can’t guarantee their safety” (really dumb thing to say – suppose he had been referring to the bible? is the governor condoning vandalism and destruction of property?) http://www.patheos.com/blogs/friendlyatheist/2013/05/28/if-atheist-books-are-placed-in-georgia-state-parks-will-christians-destroy-them/

And of course there are the huffers and the puffers who say “if the State of Georgia allows atheist books in my hotel room, I’ll leave the park immediately”, which is total crock and the mark of a true idiot.

@elbanditoroso That opens the doors to turning hotel rooms into libraries; Torah, Quran, Book of Shadows, Principia Discordia….

Of course, Georgia could try to make Christianity the official state religion, but they would have to forfeit their statehood in order to avoid serious legal troubles. Or the huffers and puffers could just learn to cope.

@flutherother

(heh, heh, heh, pulp fiction)

Uh, I was joking. The question was, “If Jesus comes back will we get a new Bible?” New Bible. Get it? Oh, never mind. You guys aren’t any fun. ~

(sound of crickets)

No, we’d have to rewrite some of the laws of nature.

If Jesus comes back you will not get a new bible, but the book of Revelation tells you what you will get. Everyone on earth will wail because of Jesus. 1:7

Jesus has “the keys of hell and death.” 1:18

Repent—or else Jesus will fight you with the sword that sticks out of his mouth. (Like the limbless knight in Monty Python’s “Holy Grail.”) 2:16

“I [Jesus] will kill her children with death.” 2:23

“Thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.” God created parasites, pathogens, and predators for his very own pleasure. One of his favorite species is guinea worms. 4:11

“Thou art worthy… for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood.” 5:9

God gives someone on a white horse a bow and sends him out to conquer people. 6:2

God gave power to someone on a red horse “to take from the earth… that they should kill one another.” 6:4

God tells Death and Hell to kill one quarter of the earth’s population with the sword, starvation, and “with the beasts of the earth.” 6:8

The martyrs just can’t wait until everyone else is slaughtered. God gives them a white robe and tells them to wait until he’s done with his killing spree. 6:10–11

God tells his murderous angels to “hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of your God on their foreheads.” This verse is one that Christians like to use to show God’s loving concern for the environment. But the previous verse (7:2) makes it clear that it was their God-given job to “hurt the earth and the sea” just as soon as they finished their forehead marking job. 7:3

144,000 Jews will be going to heaven; everyone else is going to hell. 7:4

^ I think you better go back and re-read some of that…....<ahem>....incorrect….

Where? correct me, it’s right out of the bible .

^ Which book did you pull those verses from, then I can put them in proper context.
