Smitty,
Do you believe Jesus returned in the first century? If so, why?The Great and Powerful Oz:

Superman, James Bond, and Bobby Ewing all returned. So why can't Jesus?

Of course he returned in the 1st C. He said some would not see death until he returned... and he returned circa 70.

So yes, he definitely returned as a spirit appearing to many but long before 70 CE. Logical, you should know this. This is pretty fundamental NT history? Why are you delaying his return?
L.G.

So far posters seem to be hung up on a spiritual return a la the WTS. Don't forget "every eye will see him" "appearing on the clouds" "the sign in sun and moon and stars". It hasn't happened yet. But we're waiting. Just haven't set a date like the Watchtower.
Cheers,
