If he does I will. Now what?
P.S. There are not any Messengers who meet those criteria that I don't already believe in.
So, just so everyone knows what we are talking about, you gave the following as things we needed to know about a person in order for us to conclude that he was a messenger from God:
1. What kind of character do they have? Did they have a good character as demonstrated by their lives and deeds?
2. Did they have a mission on earth that God gave them and was that mission brought to completion successfully?
3. Do they have any scriptures that were written by them or scriptures that were written in their name?
4. Do they have a religion that was established in their name and followers of that religion?
5. Has that religion grown over the years or is it shrinking?
I presented a man with the following attributes:
1. He didn't drink or smoke, who strived to stop animal abuse to such a degree that the animal welfare laws he put in place are still in effect today. He also served bravely and was decorated with high honors.
2. He believed he had been given a mission by God and did everything he could to see that it was carried out.
3. He was not completely successful before his premature death, but he did accomplish a great deal of what he set out to do.
4. He wrote much about what he believed his life's work to be, and firmly believed that the work he was doing was for the glory of God.
5. He had many followers while he was alive, and there are still millions who follow his teachings and gather in groups based on the movement he founded.
Indeed, his followers have grown more numerous in recent times.
So, you are saying that if he did meet your criteria and what I have said is accurate, then you would accept him as a messenger for God?
