Answer 1

I wouldn't believe them ever. What proof could one offer?

Answer 2

The messiah, saviour of the world, Jesus Christ, came already!! Approximately 2000 years ago. His second coming would be preceded by tremendously loud trumpetting sound from the skies all over the world and everybody on the planet would be able to see and here Him. He would come from the skies on a cloud as stated in the Bible. His glory would be tremendous. There won't be any reason for prove, because we'll just know it and bow immediately. Any other human being that claims to be Christ or any so-called messiah is false because Jesus himself and the apostle Paul in the Bible warns about false prophets. False prophets will also be able to perform miracles under Satan's power (e.g fortune tellers or people who claim they can connect to the dead)

Answer 3

What that person says, so be it. I wouldn't ask for him to prove it. In the back of my mind, there is only one Messiah, and it is JC, i'll keep my faith that if JC assumed the body of that person, then so be it too.
I haven't seen in person JC and I believed in Him all my life, why would I want a proof now?
In my idea JC exists, but if He wants to assume the matter of that person you mentioned in your question, in the end the pure form of that messiah is still Jesus Christ. If that one person is indeed the messiah, he will grow, and continue to change, until it has assumed the absolute form an matter of Jesus Christ as the ideal. Meaning to say he will indeed perform what God can do over time.

Answer 4

Since there are several hundred or thousand guys and women claiming to be the Messiah or even God himself, I would need to see some kind of Heaven ID or proof, even in the Bible says that Jesus had no problem to give some kind of proof to his followers, he didn't all the miracles just to show off.

I don't think they would punish us for asking for some proof, if they do then it would means heaven is run by evil and not by love.

Answer 5

I don't think God would reveal himself to you if you weren't ready. He knows that there are imposters all the time. So why would He expect you to automatically believe Him? When He's there with you, you'll know. It's a certain feeling you get. It's not like some average bum comes up to you and says, "I'm the messiah," and then the rain still continues to poor, the baby's still crying in the background, and the bum smells like he hasn't had a bath in 39 years. I would think that if you truly believe, you'll know when He is there or when it is Him. You'd know if it was just a psycho! (You know, the twitching eye, the 'I've got a bad feeling about this' feeling, the weird smile, and the sense of falseness.) God would be different.

Answer 6

Be not destroyed in you understanding, my friends. The Messiah came in the personage of Jesus of Nazareth. He full filled EVERY prophesy that was made of his appearing.

We are told that there would come many who proclaim themselves to be the messiah, especially in the days we are living. They are NOT.

How could anyone be so bold as to tell you this man or than man was not the messiah?

Jesus told his disciples when he ascended to the right hand of the Father that in like manner, EVERY EYE SHALL SEE AND EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW AND EVERY TONGUE WILL CONFESS that He is Lord.

Beware false prophets in these latter days who proclaim that here is the messiah or over there is the messiah. WITH A SHOUT THE MESSIAH WILL AGAIN RETURN.

Answer 7

Anyone can claim to be messiah.But the truth is there are certain criteria to meet.Signs and wonders are seen and done everyday that doesn't qualify that person who performed
them as messiah.Pergotory the fear factor.Totally not a messiah quality.If I am not mistaken one of the criteria of messiah is peace.So I would seriously have to question any
religion who uses fear as a means to an end.True messiah knows no fear.Meaning he isnt intimate with fear..has no intimate knowledge of fear.Fear isnt a part of them.

Answer 8

If in fact they were the Messiah they would not have to tell you that they were, you would already know it. And why would they need you to bow to their feet. I would assume the Messiah would be way beyond needing poor humans to give them adoration when they in fact already have it. I think it would be you that would be saying, "Oh, by the way I see you are the Messiah".

Answer 9

The very act of saying or "demonstrating" that one is the messiah is all the proof needed to know that the person is NOT the messiah.

Answer 10

Anyway, I am not going to waste my time on that person, claiming as messiah. Whether he is messiah or not, I rather not take the chance with him, he could be a fraud. Messiah do not go around calling himself as messiah and knowing for sure nobody would believe him. The messiah is creating a temptation, knowing for sure, there is no taker, able to take his words for it.

Answer 11

Because the messiah will come like a theif in the night to take his children home so no I wouldn't believe any random person telling me they were the messiah.
