For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
Mark 8:29
And he saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Peter answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ.
Mark 13:6
For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
Luke 9:20
He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am? Peter answering said, The Christ of God.
Luke 21:8
And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.
If some of these verses are warning that many would come in jesus's name, it is curious they would call themselves christ. That is what the church has taught these verses mean, but to me, the wording doesn't seem to agree.
This was a verse brought up by TX on the old IC, and I said it meant jesus was warning people to beware of those who called him the messiah. TX asked if I was serious, I said I was. To this day I contemplate these verses.
For many shall come in my name(jesus), saying, I(jesus) am Christ(that jesus is the messiah); and shall deceive many.
If someone was coming in your name, could they or why would they also claim to be you?
Mark 8:29
And he saith unto them, But whom say ye that I(jesus) am? And Peter answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ.
ether-i-am;1103051 said:I don't get why would god come as or send his son to die for our sins but yet still prophesied many will come in his name. What was the point? He comes once to one part of the world leaves no writings or nothing but the imitations come in droves. Keeping in mind that even jesus wasn't the first Christ.
KLICHE;1103318 said:So basically you saying why is he saying that many will come in his name, and proclaim that Jesus was The Christ, when Jesus is saying that call him The Christ is incorrect? Correct?
Interest spin on it... first time for me to hear this analysis....
But isn't there after what Peter says something where Jesus replies... and either confirms or denies this? Afterall the lines you've quoted are not in one after the other..

VIBE86;1104569 said:Well your interpretation is wrong lol because now it contradicts the whole Bible if you think that way. You also read that verse wrong, after a comma ( , ) is the quote "I am Christ", there isn't quotes on that but usually after a comma and a saying like that, it's usually being a quote. He's not quoting it to apply to Himself though, it's for people like TX posted.
Come on now really? I've never heard anything like that, like what you're stating. Unless I'm confused.

BiblicalAtheist;1106245 said:If it is meant the way you are saying it is meant, one could wonder why then he didn't word it this way:
For many shall come in my name, saying, they are Christ; and shall deceive many.
or
And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, they are Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.
How or why would someone come in someone's name and ALSO claim to be that person?
VIBE86;1106890 said:Because He is the 2nd coming, so others will claim to do so, like this other guy did and that's false. Now Kliche says this guy put "666" on himself and his followers? Do you see what happens?? People who say, I come in the name of God! I AM JESUS CHRIST. That's what he warns of. Why would he say be warned people will call me Christ the Messiah but the Bible he's called it all over and he accepts it?
I don't even see what you're saying, like how you're interpreting it like that.
(He's also speaking as if he is them, the person who would be doing this.)
