Paulites, A Moment Of Truth, Is Ron Paul Our Modern Day Messiah? A forerunner maybe?

I hate to even encourage this discussion with a response, but I need to say that any comparison between Ron Paul and the Biblical prophets or (heaven-forbid) to Jesus the Christ needs to be ANALOGOUS at best.

That is to say, clearly Ron Paul is not a religious prophet, for a slew of reasons, the most important of which being that there are no more religious prophets, because Jesus has already fulfilled his redemptive work here on Earth. It is even more ludicrous to call him a messiah, since that is a role that can only be filled by one person, and Christians believe that person to be Jesus of Nazareth.

Now, I do think that in a strictly secular sense, you could call Dr. Paul prophetic, in that he is rejected by the mainstream and has predicted significant future events, and "preaches" a consistent message. But messiah? Come on, let's remember that this movement is political, and it deals with the things of THIS world.

Also, to give myself a little credibility, I study Theology and Biblical Studies at Wheaton College.

The white widow is NOT for you.

Just a man. So are you. So am I.

Let's take some inspiration from the man, pick up the load, and carry it forward. He won't save us. We'll save ourselves.

Come on dude. Snap out of it.

No he is not. If you think that you are missing the point entirely. The point is his message. He is an agent of truth. His legacy through time will be comparable to Ghandi, John Lennon, Kennedy, or even Jesus. Now don't get mad, I'm not saying he is Jesus. Ron Paul supporters don't worship Dr. Paul. We admire him for his incorruptibility. We respect him for his intelligence, his accomplishments, the family he is patriarch of, and his amazing commitment to the cause of liberty as reflected in his career as a Congressman, not to mention those 4000 babies he delivered. We appreciate his common sense, such as a golden rule foreign policy, one of mutual respect. We agree with him that a competing currency, an audit and then an actual end to the Fed is the right path. We trust that he is not acting out of self interest but that he is truly interested in restoring Liberty to the land of the free. We like him because he is genuine, and he sort of reminds us of the atypical wise grandfather. We are very loyal to him, once the scales fall from your eyes, you cannot unlearn the truth, and once you realize the import of what the good Dr. is trying to achieve and just how right he is, you've entered what I like to call the "Paulitical Zone." It's not "Politics" anymore baby! It's "Paulatics", and it's very addictive. This is an intellectual revolution, it is not a religious revolution. He is not our swami, messiah, or king. He is a man telling the truth, and trying to change the course of history. His vision would restore America to that shining example of freedom for the world to see. An example worthy of emulation. Come to think of it, may be he is the messiah.

Do you mean biblical messiah? Or a more mundane constitutional one?
Biblically speaking, and I have some small knowledge on the subject, Ron is NOT the messiah as that position was filled long ago in the person of Jesus Christ. Nor do I find correlation to Ron's being a biblical messenger or prophet applicable under any scrutiny. Being that Ron's message is fundamentally secular and not scriptural nor GOD specific in topic he can't be considered for a prophet, at least not biblically.
So unless you reference Ron Paul as being a fully secular messiah in terms of reaffirmation of American constitutional rule of law, or a predecessor to someone whom is I find the application of the term "Messiah" inappropriate.
Additionally, I think that if asked in person what he felt, Ron might say something like this " my message is important, but I'm just a messenger.". But on this I merely offer conjecture based upon the humility we see Ron practice daily.
