Second Coming

My Friends,
Chris seems to want some response from me about his claim that he is the Second Coming of Christ.

I try to make it a point in my life to look at any claim with an open mind, no matter how outrageous it sounds.

The trouble is that Chris is not alone in making this claim. There are hundreds of them out there. Some of them even have web pages.

One who is getting some attention is Richard G. Patton from Canada. He wrote a Book called The Autobiography of Jesus of Nazareth. After hearing praises that this was a really credible and interesting book I bought it and found this Jesus quite a boring unconvincing guy. I couldn't quite understand why many were enthused about him.

You can find his book on Amazon (ISBN: 0968243703)

Then a while back I read an ad in our local paper about a guy from Southern Idaho who claimed to be God (the God) was going to give a seminar in Boise. This roused my curiosity and I attended the meeting with my friend, Wayne. His followers testified to all kinds of miracles, but what took the wind out of the guy's sails was his own presentation. Again this guy was extremely boring and I was surprised that he was surrounded with enthused disciples.

I didn't feel the Spirit in either of these people.

Below are some others you can check out who claim to be (or know) the Second Coming:

And now we have one of our own members making the claim.

Question: Check out a few of these web pages and let us know if you think any of them are credible. How would you rate Chris in comparison to them?

If the real Christ were reincarnated and realized who he was then how do you think he would proceed with his mission?
