"If English was good enough for Jesus, its good enough for me"?

I read that this phrase appears on car bumper stickers across the US. Jesus was born in the middle east, he was Hebrew, so he was most likely of dark skin and spoke Aramaic, there is no chance he spoke English.





Christians believe in the second coming of Jesus Christ, as the Jews believed in the coming of the Messiah, if it's true that Jewish people misread the signs and denied their saviour, can we expect today's Christians will make the same mistake ?





How would Christian members of this community feel if Jesus came back as a middle eastern person again, say Iranian for example, do you think he would be accepted ?

"If English was good enough for Jesus, its good enough for me"?
Whoah, hard hitting question, I like it.


I don't believe that the Christians of western society would accept a second coming of Jesus at all, let alone if from the middle east. But an Iranian Jesus? The poor guy wouldn't stand a chance, people are too prejudice.





Even if he did perform miracles, no one would acknowledge their validity. They would say it is a trick, special effects, hypnosis (like many modern day entertainers we are all so familiar with) or whatever. We live in a very sceptical generation.





More than that, to call yourself the son of God, would outrage many as it would be considered to be blasphemous.
Reply:"let all who have ears hear" he will be understood in all languages and it is not about how he looks, it is about who he is , all will know and accept him for who he is
Reply:I don't know what ignorant idiot would have that bumper sticker, but I have never seen it nor heard of it.





Christians believe that Christ will return in glory, not as a person dwelling among us again. Everyone will see Him, recognize Him, and everyone will fall to their knees and confess that Jesus is Lord.
Reply:Thats just because since english has practikelly become earths most spoken language that they wanna stick it to the others...
Reply:I don't think the apperance will matter much to those that believe. I personally have no preconcieved idea of what he will look like as I know what we see is pictured in this day and age is not correct anyway.

Reply:I hate to be pessimistic but with all the ill feeling towards middle eastern countries, as stupid and ignorant as it is, if he came back as a middle eastern person he would probably be arrested and thrown into Guantanamo bay for terrorism. Which is the same as what happened to Jesus, he was not seen as the ideal saviour, started talking out against the big guys and got beaten up and crucified.
Reply:Jesus era hebreo, y segun la biblia, no era muy bonito que digamos, es decir, nada que ver con las pinturas que vemos en las iglesias.





Otra cosa, el ingles no es la unica lengua que existe en este mundo.
Reply:Excellent questions. I'd have to say Yes to the first and No to the second. I expect he'd be charged with black magic or trickery if he tried to perform his miracles, thats if he wasn't hung as a witch already hundreds of years ago.
Reply:When Jesus does return it will be in power and glory...not like before.
Reply:I have never seen a weird sticker like that.
Reply:A) Jesus Himself said that He would return coming down from on high in clouds of glory. This does not even remotely sound like being born in a human body again, growing up again and dying again (for whatever reason).





B) Jesus' body was slain, He died, He rose glorified in His body and ascended into Heaven IN that glorified body. His second coming will be in that glorified body, which is indisputably Semitic since the only genetic heritage it has is Semitic, through His mother, Mary, a direct descendant of the House of David. And more Semitic than that it's kinda hard to get. No Iranian, speaking ethnically, past or present, is of the House of David so He will NOT be an Iranian......or an Iraqi, or an Egyptian, or an Amalekite or a Midianite, or a anything else, but a JEW descended from David through Solomon.





C) As for acceptance by Christians, I'm sure that anyone, regardless of current faith or no faith at all, who witnesses His coming will pretty much have to accept their own eyes, or else consider themselves as having gone off the deep end with startling celerity.
Reply:If you read Revelations in the Bible, you'll notice that Jesus will return and first set foot in Jerusalem again. He was Jewish when He lived on Earth, He was Jewish when He rose from the grave, it stands to reason his "ethnicity hasn't changed over the last 2000 some odd years of His life. My bet is he'll still be a Jewish person in glorified form when He returns. Also, it is clearly stated that when Jesus returns, every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord. When He comes back, everybody, not just the Christians, but EVERYBODY is going to recognize Him for who He is, even if they've tried to deny it thier whole life. If you haven't accepted who He is before that time, its too late at that point. Its like the old saying, "Too little, too late."
Reply:How could anyone think Jews would not understand their own Bible? That's just nuts. Jews know what the Messiah will do. Jesus didn't do it. That's it.
