Is the second coming of Jesus Christ here? Some people say he is:

Many now expect the return of their awaited Teacher, whether they call him the Christ, Messiah, the fifth Buddha, Krishna, or the Imam Mahdi. Millions now know that the Teacher who fulfills all these expectations is already living among us.
Maitreya, the World Teacher, has not come alone, but with a group of wise Teachers who have long guided humanity from behind the scenes.
They are returning to the everyday world to help us solve our most critical global problems. Maitreya is not a religious leader, but an educator in the broadest sense.
He is here to inspire us to create a new era based on sharing and justice, so that all may have the basic necessities of life: food, shelter, health care, and education.
His open mission in the world is about to begin. As Maitreya himself has said: 'Soon, now very soon, you will see my face and hear my words.'
(http://www.share-international.org/)

Here is a list of Maitreya's hundreds of worldwide appearances (http://www.share-international.org/maitreya/Ma_wwa.htm), where people apparently immediately recognized him as Christ (or whatever the equivalent of Christ is in their particular religion). Here is another excerpt from the website in which a man describes Maitreya's visit to Kenya:
The tall figure of a barefooted white-robed and bearded man appeared from nowhere and stood in the middle of the crowd. He was walking slowly towards the new church building away from the tent. Mary walked with him, side by side. I stared at the stranger without blinking. Strange, sporadic light wafted on top of his turbaned head, his feet and his entire body.

In clear Swahili, which had no traces of accent, the strange man announced that the people of Kenya were blessed, especially those who had gathered at the venue that afternoon.

"We are nearing the time for the reign of heaven. But before that I shall come back and bring a bucketful of blessings for all of you," the man said.

It took the crowd nearly 20 minutes to recover after the man left the meeting in a car belonging to a Mr Gurnam Singh, who offered to give him a lift. But it will probably take Mr Singh his lifetime to recover from the shock he got two minutes later. On reaching the bus terminus, the man informed Mr Singh to stop the car. On getting out, he walked a few paces beside the road and simply vanished into thin air.

p.s. Benjamin Creme, the messenger and spokesperson for the Maitreya, will be interviewed on Coast to Coast AM, a late-night Talk Show, tommorow night (August 5-6). I'm planning to listen to it, because it will probably be interesting. If anyone else would like to listen, the program will run from 2 AM to 5 AM EST, 11 PM to 2 AM PST, 6 AM to 9 AM GMT. To find out what Radio Station carries the program in your area go to this website: http://www.coasttocoastam.com/info/wheretolisten.html

If you don't live in USA or if you don't have an affiliate in yoru area, you can listen on the internet.If you want to listen on the internet you can go to http://www.970wfla.com/ (the page takes a long time to load for some reason), click on the toolbar labelled "Interactive", and click on "Listen Live". It should be very interesting, and if this is real, it is probably very important. The jury's still out on whether it's real though, of course

No. Christianity is Monolithic and Absolute. "Thou shalt not have any other Gods before me, for I am a jealous God" and "No man comes to the Father but by Me." Thus any attempts at naming this man "fifth Buddha, Krishna, or the Imam Mahdi" or whatever else can automatically be discounted. Furthermore, it is said that at the second coming, the world would be at peace. I think that one goes without saying at this juncture.

If Jesus were to come back, what would be the big deal about whether he called himself Jesus, the Fifth Buddha, or whatever? It seems to mehe would look to help all people, Christian or non-Christian

World peace is only ever going to come about as a result of the jewish drive. The jew profits immensely during times of peace, as the strength of the jew lies not in anything solid and real, but in insinuation, and lies. The jew worms his way into everything pure, corrupting it into rotteness, in which the adamic thrive. Take the bible for instance. Without an evangelical protector, the jew is doomed.

Many fundamentalists consider "Maitreya" to be an excellent candidate for the office of ANTI-CHRIST.

Umm... when will everyone start realizing that it is all metaphoric.

Jesus coming back, one god, two gods, trinity etc. who cares about those...

If someone came and gave us proper instructions how to achieve peace and love for everyone, chances are that nobody would listen to him, or he'd end up as a bum on the street, or killed etc.

PetrIt seems to me that the "fundamentalists" of the First Century AD (the Pharisees) were ideological foes of Jesus, and how wrong they were! It could be the same with the fundamentalists and Maitreya today. If it's real anyway. Who knows. Stranger things have happened.

If someone came and gave us proper instructions how to achieve peace and love for everyone, chances are that nobody would listen to him, or he'd end up as a bum on the street, or killed etc.He'd end up killed? You mean like what happeend the first time? :) ... Although I doubt people would crucify him these days, that's not the style today. They'd probably but a bullet in his head or at worst torture him to death "Abu-Ghraib style".

I think you're right about all the religious talk not being worth so much. But that just strengthen's Maitreya's case. He doesn't claim to come for only Christians or only Muslims or only Jews or only Sikhs, etc etc. He claims tocome for all people, and it seems to me that if God wanted to help people, he'd send someone who reached out to everyone.

One intersesting question is, how does one explain the miracles that this man (Maitreya) has performed if he is a phony?

Solovyov would agree, claiming that the anti-Christ would be one who in the name of Christ would try to unite all the worlds religion, thus denying the unique nature of Christ and his teachings.

"Witnesses" do not add to a miracle veracity .
Throngs are as easty to manipulate than individuals, if not more .

Lenny, you haven't convinced me! If someone wants to appropriate the name Maitreya and be him, so what. I am not Buddhist. It is odd that he seems to have a marked preference for Christians, not much time for Moslims or Buddhists? If he can make water into wine or transmutate or stop the aging process, get him to give me a call. Otherwise he can shove off to whatever cloud he is sitting on.
