Related: About this forumSeven men around the world who each claim to be Jesus Christ
New Zealand HeraldAt least seven men around the world claim to be Jesus Christ reincarnated, and many have a following of devoted believers.
From a retired Siberian traffic cop named Vissarion to a cross-dressing former British spy David Shayler these men all claim to be the son of God.
Jesus of Kitwe, Zambia, the taxi driver who was originally beaten by townsfolk for claiming to be Jesus, now says he is even more senior to Jesus in the hierarchy in heaven.
Near Brazil's capital, former waiter Inri Cristo gets around in a white robe topped off with a plaited white crown.
