"mlsoft, What would Jesus be doing right now if he was alive, in a mortal body, in the US?"

jbennett...

No one knows the answer to your question. I would guess that He would be doing pretty much what He did in Israel some 2000 years ago - condemn sin, preach personal repentance before God, and denounce hypocrisy. Jesus was concerned with the individual and his relationship with God and his attitude toward his neighbor. He saved His greatest condemnation for the religious leaders of the day, and I suspect that would be the same.

I would guess that He probably would not focus on all the things most people say He would. Jesus made little mention of slavery (now, it would be racism) nor did He denounce the Government at the time. Instead, He was more concerned with the heart of each individual, and their relationship with God.

But that is all an academic exercise. If the Bible is to be believed, Jesus is coming again and this time He will be coming not as the lowly and humble Lamb of God. Instead He will be coming as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, and He will judge the Earth and all that is in it with justice and righteousness - every knee will bow before Him. We cannot know when He will come, but it is certain that He will.
