How can one be "first introduced" or "meet" jesus today?

[kat_xk8]

Jesus walked the earth from 0-33 AD but he died, buried, rose again and ascended so unless one was alive during those 33 years on earth - when, where and how exactly are people "meeting' him or "being introduced"? There is verse in the bible that says in the end times jesus will say depart from me i know you not - well ok how many millions upon millions will he say that too because unless we were around those 33 years - um ????

My mom is a first grade teacher and mentions introducting her kids to christ? come again? what do you think she means by "introducing" because the bible clearly says hes at the right hand of god
and if hes been spotted on earth introducing himself - um would that count as the 2nd coming?

i dont mean to offend but im really confused here? I have never met jesus then again when could i have?

1)is introduced being used as simply learning about who he was and what he did?
2)why is the word meet uses when thats not what literally happens at all?
3)what does "depart from me i know you not" - who is going to say that to because he was here on earth 33 years - doesnt that count out alot and i mean alot of people?
4) if you think or believe youve met jesus could you elaborate as to why you use the word "meet" and also confirm that you didnt meet in person?

serious a nswers
and no im not an atheist
just a confused agnostic
thanks
well i got way too much religion - about 3 decades full but i have always lacked the relationship
however - regardless of what any mettling christian may say - i dont have a relationship because jesus himself has never shown up to be in the relationship - im not sure but if jesus really really exists and a relationship actually occurs - im not jesus - i cant be him i cant be him in the relationship - but sad to say but honestly saying - he is why i dont have a realationship with him - its takes two - and he has never shown up - again - if a relationship is really a relationship - hes the one to blame not me

I totally get what you are saying but then how do you explain taking a college course called "Introduction to British Literature".?

The Bible says that God is Spirit, so if you worship Him, you must worship him in spirit and in truth. When people say introduce they mean to pray to God, talk to God, Get to know God from the Bible, seeking God, etc. When Jesus said he woulf say depart from Me, He was talking about false prophets and deceivers. I know Jesus, and I have a personal relationship with Him. You can be introduced to Him by being saved and starting a relationship with Him. God also talks to his children. God has spoken to me many times. You just have to listen to His voice. Became saved and really read the Bible, live holy, and pray and he will talk to you as well; there is no partiality with God.

God is Spirit and must be worshiped in Spirit and Truth.........Jesus is at the right hand of God, but when you have a 'new birth' experience, Jesus will be just as real as if He were right there in your room with you.This is accomplished through the Holy Spirit which is Given to every believer in Christ Jesus for the remission of sin.

We,,, it isn't "introducing" LITERALLY, but like, it means talking to them about Jesus and telling them all about Him; "introducing."

And Jesus is not just in heaven, His Spirit is in the world too. That means God's spirit is everywhere in this world, He is omnipresent.

"Depart from me, for I never knew you." I guess this means that there are people out there who call themselves "Christians" but never really are anyways. It's like, you've got the whole religion going on, but you lacked the relationship. Jesus WANTS our relationship with Him more than you know. He wants us to know Him, and in return, He will "know us," so to speak. If you only follow rules by religion, you are not "known" by Him. You don't have the relationship.

I've "met" Jesus in a way, that I sense His presence when I worship, that you can spend time with Him in that secret place and just communicate with Him, and in return He communicates back to you through His Word. We don't "meet in person" ha, but that will happen one day.

God bless you!! =]

Jesus: (Matthew 10:34) "Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword."

Sword meaning war, violence, and mayhem. Sounds lovely.
