I can't take the Bible as the "source" of anything but the Christian faith. Just as the Vedas are the "source" of the Hindu faith. It has been too corrupted by too many hands through too many centuries. I'm still studying all these things, so check with me in a few months :)

Yes, that is well-known, but after that we know next to nothing. At least that's what I've always been told.

I'd have to read the passage, but just going off what you said here, would it really matter? I mean, whether it was your next door neighbor or some guy halfway across the world, if he came back after x number of years and professed to be the Messiah, would you believe him?
