Hi Deanna- This reminds me of the Hindu faith, and especially the Bhagavad Gita in which Krishna, taking the role of the Christ (meaning the Son of God, as opposed to the other roles of the Trinity) tells everybody, "In every age I return, to restore the Law, to reward the righteous, to annul the sin of the sinner ..." The Christ, which is the divine aspect of Jesus in Christianity, is prophesied to return multiple times. Unfortunately, we are very hard on prophets and saints in this world. So what you observed is the typical attitude. It seems that most of us can sympathize with "some poor devil who screwed up" but are hard put to support "a guy peddling religion in a way that differs from my own present beliefs", which is precisely the task of the Christ.
For Hindus the same role is to reincarnate as a rishi or guru. For buddhists it's the Bodhisattvic vow, to reincarnate and bring aid to others. But in general, there being only a single God, of which there is a single mode of projection as the Christ-Self, they all do the same thing in their own way. And they all take their chances with the hostility of a world that lacks understanding. PUL - it works better d
