Fake Jesus reincarnations

score:4

Accepted answer

Yes and no, depending on what you mean by "active".

According to orthordox Christian teachings, there will be no re-incarnation of Jesus. His next appearance will be in glory and judgement when nobody on earth will be in a position to question the description given of Jesus current position:

Philippians 2:9-11 (ESV)
9  Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, 10  so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11  and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

In other words, according to the main traditions claiming to be Christian (Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant alike) anybody in any circumstance currently claiming to be a re-incarnation of Jesus is a fraud. As long as there is wiggle room for anybody on the planet to deny such a claim, the denial sticks.

This belief makes it really easy to root out the fakes:

FOR applicant IN jesus_reincarnations RETURN legitimate=false;

If by 'active' you mean:

  • "Do we examine the circumstances of every applicant and keep a running list of possibilities?"

    Then no. That would be a waste of time.

  • "Do we have a clear and definitive answer for whether such applicants are frauds?"

    Then yes. All of them.

Yes, I personally have warned others about the false return and / or reincarnation of Jesus. The Bible itself warns us about this (at least in reference to the tribulation), and this is the passage I point to:

[Mat 24:23-27 NKJV] 23 "Then if anyone says to you, 'Look, here [is] the Christ!' or 'There!' do not believe [it]. 24 "For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. 25 "See, I have told you beforehand. 26 "Therefore if they say to you, 'Look, He is in the desert!' do not go out; [or] 'Look, [He is] in the inner rooms!' do not believe [it]. 27 "For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.

When Jesus returns, we will know it!
