Chung is of "eastern" ethnicity, a healer, and his coming has been
herladed
by the modern day "trumpet" - the internet.

Let me supplement a little. "Eastern" in the time of Jesus meant the
Near East, not China--the name "Asia"

You are applying human limits (probably incorrectly on your part) to Jesus
and God - a total logical error.

I believe I'm closer to the traditional teaching and context than you;
you are applying erroneous human limits to "eastern ethnicity," "a
healer", and "trumpet" = "the internet" as those terms are used in the
mainstream church doctrine.

Do you think it's reasonable to hold that a belief system that
originated in the Middle East within a Semitic culture would have its
highest aspirations fulfilled by someone from a totally different ethnic
and cultural background, who interprets the Scriptures in a way foreign
to the Jewish tradition, and who exhibits little love for his fellow man
could really be an avatar of the gentle open minded rabbi Jesus is
described as being?

Neither Jesus nor God perform magic; the world proceeds on a set of
principles and natural laws; the *source* of those principles and laws
is the field of philosophy and religion, not whether they can be
arbitrarily overruled by some supernatural power.

Church doctrine has always been that Jesus is fully human *and* fully
divine. (Interpreting what that means is the tricky part.)
