False Christs
Jesus asked a foundational question? Who do you say that I am? There were many assumptions and answers in that day and time period. Many said He was John the Baptist, Jeremiah, Elijah or one of the prophets but there was only one that gave the correct answer and that answer was Peter and he correctly stated that He was the Christ, the Son of God Matthew 16:16-18 Even today there are many assumptions and answers for who Jesus and several different interpretations. Mormons say that Jesus is Satan's spirit brother. Jehovah's Witnesses and Seventh Day Adventists say He is Michael the Archangel. Muslims say He's an Islamic Prophet but not the Son of God or God and did not die on the cross for sin and resurrect. Hindus say that He's a Hindu guru. Liberals say He was a tolerant hippie that preached world peace. (Jesus said He did not come to bring peace but a sword of division. Matthew 10:34-36) Or a man that talked all about love and happiness all the time and never rebuked sin and saves people to sin instead of from sin. (Jesus rebuked sin all the time. Jesus came to save us and take away our sins.) There are even many cult leaders out there that claim they are Jesus. But after all these answers there is only one answer that is correct and it's the same answer that it was back then. Jesus is simply the Christ or the Messiah. He's the Son of God, God in the flesh and any other deviation from this is a heresy. Jesus warned that in the last days there would be many false Christs
:Matthew 24:24 King James Version24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.The Bible says that there is another Jesus: "For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him."-2 Corinthians 11:4and these religions are teaching another Jesus and a false Christ that leads to hell. Be very careful who you listen to and what they say. Anyone that teaches against what the Bible says about who Jesus is and what He taught is preaching a different Jesus. Stay away from anyone that denies the Sonship or Deity of Christ, or teaches against what He did for us, or says He isn't the Messiah and did not come in the flesh, (anyone who says He isn't the Messiah or came in the flesh is antichrist 2 John 7) or says He is a created being or an angel, or says He allows for sin and run away from anyone claiming to be Jesus. Jesus is not a created being or an angel He is God Hebrews 1, and the promised Savior and the Messiah and He does not allow sin. Jesus hates sin and anyone that reads the New Testament knows this. If you've been following a different Jesus you may be following Satan in disguise which means you're lost but the real Jesus will forgive you because He died on the cross for your sins and rose again and you'll be forgiven if you repent and believe in the true Christ.
