First of all - "Christ" is a title. Jesus The Christ son Of God is not the same as an old tradition in Europe of the Christ mantle, which is bestowed by a legitimate pope. And how do you know he isn't a "messenger" - which is the meaning of the word Messiah. My neighbor named his kid Messiah. Kind of like another neighbor whose landscape guy is Jesus.  This guy isn't saying he is THE MESSIAH or THE CHRIST. He's claiming a title.
