So your saying he will be born to a new mother grow up again and bring peace to the world. That is not what the bible says. Why do people believe that he will be born as a baby again and grow and do the same thing clearly thats not what the bible says.
Even great writers can use an editor from time to time. For example, there were just a few extra words in the middle of that last sentence.
Well it is the christian board and its what were taking about.If you don't believe the bible what are you doing here and why are you discussing it.So thats your answer just blow everything off as garbage.

Sorry, but this is not a Christian board. This is a forum ABOUT Religion And Spirituality. We have lots of members that are not Christians.
Even out Christianity sub-forum is not a Christian board. It's there to discuss things having to do with Christianity, not limited to Christian views.
What I see is when I told you what the bible says it didn't fit your idea of things so you dismissed it all.It doesn't mater what I believe the script has been there for a long time and you can't just come it and change things because you don't like what it says.Christianity is not what ever you want to believe but you can tell yourself that.
In a technical sense, it's "all under our control". In a sense ... it is just human nature, an immovable object that, at the species level, I don't think we can actually work with all that much. Human progress is basically a function of enough people countermanding their own nature for a long enough period of time. Humanity functions in irregular cycles of function and dysfunction, with a sort of overarching blindness to longer term issues like resource exhaustion. The cyclic nature is generally experienced as totalitarianism vs relative freedom, but fundamentally it is more a reflection of constantly struggling out of the primal tribalism we are by default prone to.
Unlike many, I do not envision an eventual utopia where all this is vanquished and everyone lives amidst stable and basically inexhaustible plenty, with poverty and want but an unpleasant cautionary memory. The numbers don't add up. Human nature doesn't support it.
What passes for hope is the fact that we as individuals can to some degree transcend all this ... for ourselves and hopefully our loved ones. Sort of. But it's tough to be sanguine about that in a down cycle of history such as we are now in.
You are talking about societies not humainty. Humans on the whole left to their own senses in small groups, rather than what is dictated by society, would be much different. But we have small groups who want to control large groups which creates the societies that do not work for very long. The societies that do work are being exterminated by those genocidal societies led by control freaks.

As has already been clarified, this is not "The Christian Board." Ironically, there would appear to be a lot in the OP that doesn't have anything to do with the Christian Bible (so perhaps you're the one that is off-topic?).
The question I raised ("Why do people believe what the bible says?") is something that deserves to be asked. I happen to believe there are some useful principles in the Bible (so no, I don't "just blow everything off as garbage"). But I also believe that accepting every story/myth/legend/metaphor in the Bible at face value has not been good for mankind.
There is no reason to approach the Bible with any less skepticism than you would bring to any other literature. For example, there is no more reason to accept the supernatural aspects of the Bible... than there is to accept that Voldemort and Harry Potter were actually dueling, or that Tom Sawyer actually recruited his friends to paint that fence, or that Oliver Twist actually wanted another bowl of gruel. All great books, and all the works of men (or women).

Well the bible say no such thing the Savior has already come and preached the word of God. In the second coming its the Warrior Jesus with fire in his eyes a sword for a mouth with a army to do battle.Hes not coming to preach and heal people hes coming for the final battle according to Islam and Christianity to put an end to everything and pass final judgment.
And according to the norse mythology it will be called Ragnorak and it will be a fight between Thor and Loki. The cool thing about that mythology is that we don't have to claim we are already saved by Thor and sit around waiting for him to do our battle. Instead everyone has to fight. The cool thing about Ragnorak is that it is essentially a reset, not a total destruction of earth. But I like the old (before the roman extermination) Druid beliefs better. We are here to be humans and if we are called to we must help and protect Gaia if we choose that path.
The Bible is for everyone, freely translated, printed and spread.
Make merit to go to heaven
There are about 5,000 years left until the end of the 9th mini-kalpa, when the earth will go into destruction. The Supreme Being, following Heaven's father's command, came down to save humanity and return them to heaven to avoid disaster. In the 10th mini-kalpa, the earth starts from primitive, wild, to tribal, then civilized again. The evolutionary cycle repeats. Refugees in heaven continue to be reincarnated on earth to learn about soul evolution as the earth gradually stabilizes.
