That is, I suppose, to ask - I simply cannot imagine Christ suddenly appearing as flesh and blood and getting into those things. What am I missing?
But you can picture Christ returning and hooping and hollering it up in a Baptist or Pentecostal church?

Or dancing with snakes and drinking arsenic?

Or being a televangelist in a suit?

The Catholics have spent centuries spreading the word around the world. You will find impoverished churches in locales like Haiti, the Philippines, Vietnam, etc. What you won't see in these places are pimped out ghetto preachers who cruise around Brooklyn in Rolls Royces, which I have seen. Or televangelists in mansions.
