Seven men around the world who each claim to be Jesus Christ

New Zealand Herald

At least seven men around the world claim to be Jesus Christ reincarnated, and many have a following of devoted believers.

From a retired Siberian traffic cop named Vissarion to a cross-dressing former British spy David Shayler — these men all claim to be the son of God.

Jesus of Kitwe, Zambia, the taxi driver who was originally beaten by townsfolk for claiming to be Jesus, now says he is even more senior to Jesus in the hierarchy in heaven.

Near Brazil's capital, former waiter Inri Cristo gets around in a white robe topped off with a plaited white crown.

I’ve already missed at least 4 already I think… better watch these 7 just in case I guess. Anyone got a unified calendar for pending apocalypses and raptures?

Every society has had religious leaders and social organization. If there are no modern King Arthur wannabes, it's likely a testament to him having been real. Or maybe just not religious enough.

Jesus said people would try this scam, and nobody should believe them.
