Hi, I wrote a rather long note. But this is the short one.
The FPP rules do not allow anybody, Jesus or not, to claim they are the Messiah and I respect those rules.
Now remember, a person can be on drugs, delusional, mentally ill or anything and want to make this claim and it may be totally unfounded. Or, it might be the real thing. It's just against the rules to make that claim here.
Of course, I could put in some form of an encrypted denial which I do. I can tell you that "I'm not this false Messiah people think I am."
I don't think it is against the rules to deny you're a false Messiah. But who knows.
Anyway, the Bible should help you identify who the Messiah is, so I suggest you consult the Bible first, then go looking for the Messiah. In the meantime, we know many false Messiah's will abound, so I wouldn't believe any of them without Biblical proof. Know from the Bible who the Messiah is suppose to be, how he is supposed to appear and under what circumstances, within what religion, etc. Then make up your mind. Not just on somebody's grandiose and unsubstantiated Biblical claim of having seen some clouds...
