Could you at least, you know, stay in one topic? A cursory glance gives at least half a dozen threads started by you on this very subject. It's annoyingly akin to spam.

Here be the relevant bits of my reply from an earlier topic on Maitreya:

I remember a discussion on this subject a while back. I must admit to not putting great stock in biblical prophecies or supposed genealogies as 'proof' of a divine messenger, though I'd certainly welcome further clarification on this Maitreya person.

Incidentally, I note that while he has stolen a Taoist symbol, we're not worth a mention on his front page. The cheek of it!

erm, sorry, had a bit of Deja vu....

i believe that the Deity Jesus Christ resides in the Heavens/summer lands, and though he may watch us and care for us, and send us his comfort, he does not reside with us as i believe he once did

but hey, that's just my belief

I'm sure there are plenty of Jesus' currently walking the Earth.

 

[Mike182]

Jesus is seated at the right hand of the Father, He will be back, and everyone will know it.

...He will be back, and everyone will know it.

I bet. I hear jesus makes wicked cool posters.

The title of this thread should read, "Satan walks the earth at this very moment".

There will bemany antichrist's, before Christ returns to set up his kingdom.

I already asked you a bunch of questions in this thread that you started (but could not be bothered to attend further):

http://www.religiousforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=32495

How about you start by addressing some of the points I raised?

Or are you too afraid and/or unknowledable to defend how maitreya's website misquotes, abuses, and even invents texts of my religion?

btw, every time you post here and do not answer these questions, you can look forward to the same response from me.

Call me naive, but I trust the wisdom of the Body of Christ to know when Christ has returned.

 

[ProfLogic]

How can a man who never existed come back, all I know is that an energy that made up Jesus is already amongst us, and its not me?

 

[Halcyon]

Why would Christ take the name of a Bodhisattva? Thats just being confusing for the sake of it!

 

[Booko]

Given how Jesus was received the first time around, I'm curious as to why you would make such an assumption?

(There are other NT passages that may apply to whether the recognition will be so universal in the body of Christ, but that would turn this into a wholly different thread If you want we can start one elsewhere I suppose, but I'm more interested in an exploration of the possibile meanings of those passages than an argument.)

From a Baha'i pov, it's not confusing at all.

All the "major" religions have ideas about a figure who will return and usher in a Golden Era of peace and prosperity for humanity. In Buddhism it's Maitreya or the 5th Buddha. In Hinduism, it's Krishna Yahyah, in Zoroastrianism, Shah Bahram, in Judaism, Moshiach, in Christianity, the Return of Christ, in Islam it's the Mahdi (there are some other names as well).

When I was reading various religious texts as an atheist, they all looked to be expressing the same basic idea about some future figure, and I considered the possibility they might all be pointing to the same thing anyway.

Um, which is what eventually made it easier to accept the notion that God might exist, since I can't think of any workable explanation for how so many religions across time and the Earth can have so much in common. But I digress...

Anyway, if it's true that all of these names are referring to one person, then it's sensible for Christ Returned to call Himself by any of the other names I listed above as well.

All will know when Christ returns to earth to set up His kingdom.
