Re: Double standards?
he would have to turn his back on mankind
And how, prey tell, would you know if He had done that? Can I offer up up a few indicators? WWI, WWII, Bubonic plague, France
If Jesus Jr. came to Earth tomorrow and said, "You're all toast: Dad's given up on you." how long do you think it would be before you nailed him to a tree? Would you take God's word for it, or would you need evidence? What would that evidence be?

Re: Double standards?
bible prophecies would stop being fulfilled...that hasnt happened which gives evidence of Gods purpose still in progress.
How many prophecies are there? I mean, It's been thirty-three hundred years and half that many pages. God will run out of prophecies to fulfill if He's not frugal. How many years are you willing to let pass without His fulfilling a prophecy before you say He's stopped?
my guess would be that jesus jr would show miracles, the same way he did in the past, to prove he had come from God.
What kind of miracle? What if he went on the Oprah Winfrey Show and held His breath of life for 17 minutes 4.4 seconds; Would that do?
