Will Jesus ever return? It has been more than 2000 years and he still has not returned to Earth. He appears to be long overdue.
From a Christian perspective, the answer will be yes. Now it is important that Christian scripture also states that only God the Father knows when this will be and nobody else. And 2000 years might not be a lot of time in the eyes of a being that allegedly is timeless. And also if Jesus returns, a lot of Christians will probably not like it.
Excluding all the apocalyptic events that will accompany/precede/follow the return. Which in this scenario makes it also pretty hard for people to think it just some guy suffering from something like Jerusalem syndrome.
Now for cloning, that will be something else. First, off all are identical twins the same person. How about a clone. And from a metaphysical point of view, would such a clone have the same soul. And that is leaving out the question how would you know that your sample of DNA is actually authentic.
Quit frankly, leaving out the metaphysical question (if relevant), this cloning experiment might at bets produce the same result as the Kahless clone in Star Trek.
