What would happen to a man if he appeared in the USA, was slightly off white, maybe even dark skinned, started preaching tolerance and love for your fellow man, and urged all to feed the poor, and claimed his name was Jesus and the son of God.

Jesus, if he existed which I doubt, was a Jew from Nazareth. Mom and pop were Jews from Nazareth. If you want to know what he looked like and what color he was, look at Jews from Nazareth.

What do you mean "if"? There have been several of them over the years. They typically pick up handful of foolish followers but are ignored by the vast majority (which is probably what actually happened to the first one in his own lifetime).
 
Check his birth certificate.

If the father listed on the birth certificate is "God", then he probably is Jesus.

If the father's name on the birth certificate is Kevin or Jack, then no - - he's an imposter.

The real Jesus probably won't have a birth certificate, and therefore be ruled an illegal alien.

Those people show up on street corners every now and then. They mostly get ignored.

His first difficulty would be in getting the "Christians" to listen to him because he was "Jewish".

If he's congruent with what He has said before, He would ask why are you attempting to use man's government to force tolerance, love of fellow man, and feeding the poor - Don't forget caring for the sick and afflicted. He would ask - Why are you so afraid to define and teach a moral code instead of writing municipal code to make these things happen? He would say that humans belong to God, not the government. Therefore you can't render them unto Caesar (government) because they do not belong to Caesar. He would toss over the tables of the money handlers tasked with collecting taxes then dumping that tax money into bloated, fraud riddled, inefficient social programs that don't really even attempt to "teach a man to fish". If he addressed America specifically, He would question why there is no longer a separation of Church and State? The State has usurped the dictates given to the Church and become one with the Church (that caring for the sick and the poor thing). Pretty sure He wouldn't care for that. If you want government to provide those things - fine - but at least be honest about it and admit the price of that is to worship the Government.

If the church followed the teachings of Christ the government wouldn't have to do religion's job.

I have no idea what you just said but I am sure it will sound pretty at your next Sunday sermon.

oh I don't know, she and I enjoy a good laugh every once in a while, she finds it quite humorous all the sanctimonious bleating certain "religious" people do in Her name, not realizing that She knows what is in their hearts and that there is a special place she has prepared for the hypocrites.

Lol, yeah Jesus was a libertarian.
 
To anyone who believes Trump was sent to us by God, I would say the following to consider...

God doesn't like it when folks put someone on the same level as His son, and has already pointed out that false idols are not to be worshiped. And Trumpists worship him.

Second thing is that if God DID send us Trump...it was to teach us humility and to punish us since he was not a good leader and many are hurt and have even died through his actions and inaction.

Last thing is that if the true Jesus were to show up, and you were a true Christian, you will know immediately. The followers of Trump will be blinded to the truth as they follow his word and not the word of God. But they will eventually get it when the End Times start happening....
 
I voted lock him up as insane, and ignore him.
 
Considering that the Second Coming of Jesus the Christ can be named anything, anyone claiming to be "literally Jesus" is probably going to need some meds.
