But the scriptures that Character X has say the following, among other things, about the Christ:
- He will be born on a dark world.
- He will never leave his home world.
- He will visit every world of men. (Contradictory? Sure seems like.)
- No man knows the hour of his coming.
- To none but those of his world will his coming be made known.
- Near the end of his life, he will suffer the sins of all, in order to redeem all mankind, and will then lay down his life. As he is the Son of God, he will have the power to die only when he so wills it.
A "dark world" is difficult to understand, but X imagines it to be a planet that is going apostate -- falling into disbelief. There are a number of candidates.
He also wonders if it's somehow a planet that doesn't orbit a star, and is thus in perpetual darkness -- someplace secretly colonized and powered self-sufficiently.
The answer, though, is that the dark world is a planet that emits no man-built E.M. waves -- no radio, etc. This is unheard of -- ALL planets have advanced technology.
He never leaves his home world during his mortal life.
He visits every world of men after his resurrection.
And while his birth-world's identity won't be made known, it could still be discovered by some. Or at least, that's what Character X believes.
What they don't know:
- He will be rejected by the world.
- He will be betrayed and slain.
- He will be resurrected.
Character X wants to find Him, and live under His reign of peace on a world devoid of sin. He can't imagine anything else would happen. He thought the Christ would live to a ripe old age, reigning in peace throughout His life, and at the end perform the sacrifice necessary to save mankind. To do so any sooner would be to rob us of His teachings.
