Questions for the world faiths

[humble servant]

Eternal peace be upon all:

brothers and sisters,

Who is maetreaya, buhda or jeseus, or imam maadi or krishna, or lucifer the light bearer.

His messengers like B. Creem says he is all the above, and that to some christans he, as lucifer, is merely misunderstood.

I, personally, eagerly await his reincarnation to bring world peace, but my contemporaries think he might eventually declare himself as GOD, who we all know he is not.

What are the opinions of these things from the others, nonchristan, nonjew, nonmuslims, who are still awaiting his return as I do?

B Creme promised the return of his master in the '80's .
Didn't happen
Somebody will,eventualy.

Well, according to Vaisnavic tradition, Lord Visnu won't be coming back as Kalki to herald the end of the Kali Yuga (Dark Ages) for about 426,000 years.

I, personally, don't bother myself with prophecy or "the world will be better someday because so-and-so will come back to make everything be better;" I think it's better to just live in the present while trying to be as good in my dharma as I can be.

 

[Mr Cheese]

the reincarnation of "God" or "messengers" is through every person...

waiting for a supposed saviour is foolish

just my opinion

 

[xkatz]

There a messiah in everyone.

In my opinion one should not wait for the return of anyone. Instead seek that enlightenment for yourself and be your own avatar for the divine.
If I may take a rather scenic route to my explanation...

If you view the complete "soul" (use whatever term you will here) as two parts these parts could be viewed as the Soul - particular to that person. It evolves through decisions/choices made and understanding. And the Spirit - that which was given by the Divine and a part thereof. A spark of the Divine. Now that we have set up the terms lets talk about their development. Your Soul is you. Your thought and memories. Your record. Your intellect. The Spirit is the spark that is often light spiritual instinct. It is the part that allows you to feel spiritual. To connect with the Creator and/or Creation. Often this spark is not well fed. Often semi ignored or neglected and only noticed at certain times. In the case of someone who is totally focused on themselves at the expense of others; this spark may be snuffed out. Yet if tended to. Fanned with focus and honest, whole hearted search for understanding that spark may grow. It may grow into a flame that may draw others who are seeking in the dark to that person. If that flame is fed further without egotism (that would feed the Soul directly) that flame may burst forth as a beacon unto others. These beacons are often those that religions are based on. They seek to enlighten, not lead. Or if lead then only by example seeking no glory for themselves and tending to be inclusive as opposed to exclusive of others who need their light with hopes of finding their (the seekers) path. Those beacons hope to ignite the spark/Spirit in others to bring them a closer connection to the Divine/Creator.
Here is where things often go wrong. After the beacon leaves the followers leaders tend to take over and try to reflect the beacons light. They focus on the messenger instead of the message. They begin to hold their founder as what was sacred instead of what that founder represented. And more often than not they focus on their own importance in the religion they are a part of and that is egotism not enlightenment.

So I say do not await another's return. Instead fan your flame and be a light in the darkness to show the way, but not to be the way.
