True, but there can only be one Messiah.

There can be countless people who claim to be a Messiah or to have experienced some sort of divine revelation. Millions of people believe Muhammad and Joseph Smith were prophets. You can’t all be right, but you can all be wrong.

The funny thing is that in nearly all cases people believe these things simply based on what religion is the most convenient to them. Religious adherence is generally as superficial as most people from Louisiana being Saints fans due to culture and proximity.

Im just saying do your due diligence and look into it. There are many separate writings over hundreds of years before during and after Christ that all add up.

Well, I have been to where Jesus was supposedly born at the Church of the Nativity, was baptized at Al-Maghtas, was arrested and later ascended to Heaven (Mount of Olives), was crucified and entombed (Church of the Holy Sepulchre).

I have also been to the room touted as being the Last Supper Room at the Cenacle, even though that building doesn’t even date back 2,000 years. They still call it that as if it is. It’s misleading, even in 2022.

I sensed a lot of BS on my trip to the Holy Land. Those people don’t really know where these things happened, or even if they happened. And I don’t trust people in Israel enough to give me a fair cab price, much less tell me someone was a deity in the flesh. I can’t even imagine how frickin’ crazy people must have been in that area two millennia ago.
