The post you are reporting:
Well that's a good observation, Lesley.
Assuming we are way out of reach of politics here, and on the Faith Schools thread, I may reveal an open secret:
THE Messiah is exclusively Jesus Christ.
Now this may get long, Lesley.
Some people detract the Christian Faith.
But for a Christian, only Christ Jesus can be the Saviour, and the Head of the Church, he being the only Gate to God Almighty (the Father).
This is why I had disputes with Keith S, stating mortal people cannot be "the head" of a Church.
Keith was giving lectures on queen and pope.
To give you a very summary version of what would otherwise be a long post, I believe in the Fair Lady, whose Church indicates the road leading to Christ's Church.
Mortal people cannot be "the Messiah", nor can divine Persons be "The Messiah", unless we are talking of Jesus in Person.
He alone among divine and mortals is The Messiah.
Therefore, if a Divine Person revealed knowledge to a common person, it would only be valid if it led to Christ's Cause.
This does not answer your previous question, "Is faith exclusive to religious doctrine?".
I will not reply here.
