I have a question about an alternative way for Christ to be reborn. Rather than the story claiming that he shed his old human body to enter the newborn one, I'm toying with having someone (probably Connor) eventually explain that, he kept his old human form (which many Christians think he would never separate from) and that he also entered a second body as well (i.e., Connor). That would mean anything Christians currently believe about the return of the adult Christ will be unchanged and won't need explaining. All I add is that he is simultaneously present in a second human, which of course is just a lie.
Since I put the story on a different timeline, I can of course change anything I want, including having the adult Christ shed his original human form to be reborn. But I'm wondering if it would be more believable that his spirit also entered a second body, much the way the Holy Spirit exists in the bodies of all Christians. That would mean most (all?) of the existing prophecies in the Bible would still be true.
George/K, what do you think?
I know I'm late but I will comment anyway. I like the comparison with the Holy Spirit. There is a pattern and hence Connor can claim a similar pattern. I also like the it's-all-a-lie-anyway approach. You're right. You can say anything you want.
