What if God sends Jesus back to test man in this manner. Just as he did so long ago, we chose the self righteous route over the right route. Will we listen to our own wants and assumed needs or will we wilsten to the truth?
We have set so many formalities and labels upon every little thing we do in this world today. Especially just looking at just this Country we see so much of it. Think of it this way. When Jesus declares himself and we find out that he is not up to the so called par of standards we have set upon oneanother. With the formailites of spelling and grammar and social standards and so forth. Will we say that no it is you who musty change to our ways or will we be humble enough to accept the truth? That formalities and labels is what createds a death of ourselves for way to long. We have sucked the life out of evetrything that we do by placing standards upon everything. We say you must live our way instead of saying live your way. We have said eat what I want to weat instead of eating what you want to eat. You see I do not care one bit about your formailiteis in any way shape or form. It doesnt need to make sense to us because it already has made sense to God.

One question to you all. What if Jesus by our standards was considered an anti-social. Dont you think that would be for a reason. Maybe the reason being that he didnt want the life sucked out of him the same way we do to oursleves.

Will we pass or fail this test? I know we will pass. That is not self erigtchesouness but righteousness. And yes I didnt go back and correct my spelling (under your standards) for a reason, becxause to me it is fine for my standards..

you write to elegantly that im not sure what you are asking.
is this what you are asking....

what if jesus returns and he is NOT all about living the perfect life? what if he says "living in a 20 year old trailer is FINE as long as you live a joyful life"?

what if he is kinda homely and plain spoken and dresses out of the salvation army store and has kinda bad grammar and dirty fingernails? would we still worship him?

What if Jesus judged us and not his followers? What if He had judged during the burning times? And finally, what if He judged the distorted versions of His own words, called "scripture?"

What if Indeed he came back: then that would prove that re-incarnation is a fact and chrisianity is false.

That sums it up fairly well. To just be yourself, whoever that may be and be willing to accept, understand and love people for who they are(when they are real with themselves and others).
