What you wrote about false prophets reminded me of when a lady in Japan pointed to a picture on her table and said "This is the Messiah." I was dumb-founded! I had to ask her twice to be sure I really heard what I thought I heard. The picture was of Moon sensei (from Toitsu kyoukai I think--the Moonies). She told me that although Jesus Christ came to the earth he wasn't able to finish his mission so Moon sensei came and did what Jesus couldn't! I could see that we were not going to get anywhere with this person so I testified that Jesus did fulfill his mission and left. That whole experience still amazes me today.
