I do not believe that others who 'claim' to be the return of Christ, partially because I feel it does not 'fit' and that I am a skeptic in many things.
anyway, the reason why I quoted your comment above is because it raises a question for me: If I do read the scripture surely will not my interpretation be the interpretaion of man? ie there are varying interpretations out there, how will I know if mine is the 'correct' interpretation? or could I possibly be then guilty of introducing another interpretation to the mix?
I hope that makes sense...

I have had a theory that IF and I repeat IF jesus were to return it would be like the movie the Omen jesus would grow up like any normal kid he would discover who he was by himself. then what would he do with the knowledge of who he really was would he become a world teacher or retreat into obscurity. knowing that becoming a world teacher would mean many would try to kill him or use him for there own agendas ie church and state my theory is he would retreat what say you?

No.
. . .is it not concievable given the world we live in, how it is run, how we as human beings are driven, that nobody is worthy? Would that not suggest that Jesus is in fact here?
Why would your interpretation be less valid?
. . .or could I possibly be then guilty of introducing another interpretation to the mix?
the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever.
