Intelligent quote of the day
If Jesus Christ came today in human form and preached to the COG's, the results would be no different than they were 2000 years ago. Some few would listen to Him and heed His words. But most would envy His wisdom and power and would resent His indictments of their hypocrisy. They would crucify Him yet again, just as their Pharisee forefathers did.And they would do it for exactly the same reasons: they would see His teaching as a challenge to their authority.
---FYI Again on the WCG Alumni Message board complimenting Byker Bob's thread on the chilling idea of Jesus being an Armstrongite (which again we are glad that he was NEVER one in the first place!)

There is a whole body of knowledge of how to deal with dissidents and trouble makers.
If Jesus were to come to the church of gods today, I really doubt that they would crucify him or vilify him in any way.
Instead, they would just ignore him and soon he would just go away.
If he were too much of a pain, the church of gods would briefly acknowledge his perspectives and tell him that they "will study the topic" and then ignore him until he went away.
We're much more modern and sophisticated today than to do something so obvious that it would backfire and draw even more attention to Jesus....
