Public Sees a Future Full of Promise and Peril: Section 3: War, Terrorism and Global Trends - Pew Research Center for the People & the PressThe Pew Research Center for the People & the Press released a new survey this week that looks at the year 2050. Of note to followers of the Belief Blog is 41% of people surveyed believe Jesus is coming back by the year 2050.
"...the public is divided over whether Jesus Christ will return to earth by 2050. About four-in-ten (41%) expect Jesus Christ to return while slightly more (46%) say this will definitely or probably not happen. Opinions about the return of Jesus Christ are little changed from 1999 when 44% said it would definitely or probably happen."
How is this debatable?
Yeah I don't think Jesus is ever returning..maybe when pigs fly.
that may happen sooner than you think, with genetic engineering and all

You never fail to deliver. :lol:
but I thought god was the only person capable of creating and altering life : (
No idea when it could happen.
No human has that knowledge, it could be tomorrow. 100 years, 1000 years from now. Only Allah has that knowledge.
Although the signs the Qu'ran and Hadiths speak of has not occurred
Muslims believe that Christ will return?

Wow, you think we'd be able to find a little common ground then.
The idea of who Jesus is and what he represents is very different between Christians and Muslims. While they both claim him, they see him very differently and in incompatible ways.
Yeah, I know. But you'd think there would be a little more of a agree to disagree type thing. Or maybe thats a little too far reaching for religious beliefs?

Incompatible ways isn't quite right. Both Christians and Muslims think of him as the Messiah. There may be minor differences, but fundamentally the views are very similar. Most major world religions, are in fact, very similar. If only the followers would open their views a little and see that.
I don't think one side seeing Jesus as God and the other seeing the idea of Jesus being God to be a horrible blasphemy is a minor difference.
