He is nearly thriteen years overdue (according to scripture and the LDS interpretation of the seven seals) or perhaps He is already here and people haven't noticed.

This maybe a technicality, but as He will be coming from a planet near Kolob isn't 'Space Alien' an accutrate description?

your father-in-law is right.

If I had an visitation and Jesus appered to me with his wounded side, and pierced hands and feet.... How would I know it was Jesus and not a pretender?

Even if he performed miracles that I could not begin to comprehend, how do I know it is the self same Jesus of the New Testament and not an alien, or some other deity (Exu for example) playing a joke?

How do you know Thomas was not deceived?

Proves nothing. So the joker god pretending to be Jesus may or may not decide to continue the farce by complying with a really stupid test.

Some of us, on the other hand, actually prefer a religion that includes some type of correlation with reality.

i guess we are done...you obviously have no awareness of the subject at hand, have an incorrect idea on the nature and character of God, and you rely on dishonorable discourse.
good luck

How do you know I have an incorrect view of nature of god, and that the error is not in your understanding?

Exu told me I understand his nature petty well. He also says he pretends to be Jehovah all the time, just to sow discord.

That is how he rolls.

Drifting, you are assuming that God's seven seals agree with our calendar, and that is not the case. Besides, the second coming itself does not occur until well after the seventh seal is opened.

What calender does it agree with ? The one that says the Gospel age is the Millenium
Justice = Getting what you deserve
Mercy = Not getting what you deserve
Grace = Getting what you can never deserve

I would ask God to rebuke you but I think He would not. You see this world is filled with a spectrum of people and beliefs. There are good and there are evil people in the world. The world must be balanced in order for all of us to experience the light and the dark. Even Satan who you may believe in remains on this earth to tempt man and lead his army of workers. So there are two camps on this earth. The camp of God and light and the camp of darkness. Your attempts to get people to hate you are lost on people who have progressed down the path towards God. Instead of hate you receive pity for we see a life wasted where no progress can be made. We would love to see your spirit soar and for you to find happiness. In fact we love your spirit that you have beat into a corner. Your outward behavior is what is expected from those who embrace the world but we know it is not coming from the true you which is lost inside of you. To that soul we say that we love you and wish that one day you will have the spiritual strength to overcome the flesh. In this we humbly petition God on your behalf.
