Who or what is a "Jesus Christ? How do you determine that something or somebody is a "Jesus Christ"? What does "return to Earth" mean? Does it mean physically

Who or what is a "Jesus Christ? How do you determine that something or somebody is a "Jesus Christ"?
What does "return to Earth" mean? Does it mean physically in a human body or is mentally felt by his followers enough?
Define "soon".
The statement "Fourty years of exposure to Flouride in the drinking water will turn our children into communists." is much better defined except for the "communists" part. But we could define a "communist test". If the children exposed to forty years of Fluoride in the drinking water fail pass the "communist" test it is clearly false.
Still, within the short time of the debate you won't find any meaningful answer to these questions thus limiting their utility severely.
- vkou 9y agoThese are great criticisms, but they can be levied against all sorts of claims about abstract concepts (Freedom, justice, markets, etc.) Different theologians (Or ethicists) will have different, contradictory answers for these questions, but that doesn't mean that discussing ethics is a waste of time, or that a claim like "China restricts its citizens freedom" is unfalsifiable. I believe that discussing the inevitable return of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ (In the next 60 years) to be a waste of time, but that's because I believe the probability of his return, and the subsequent apocalypse of unbelievers, is zero. Unfrotunately, I won't be vindicated in this belief until 2077.
