You said, "Jesus here warns that many people shall come (in the last days) and claim that they are Christ and they shall deceive many people."
But Ray said the following..."No, Jesus did not say that many would come claiming that they, themselves, are Christ, but rather that He (Christ) is the Christ."
The idea is that the church teaches that many will come deceiving and calling themselves Christ which we know has not happened. Very few do this and are immediately coined as crazy so do not deceive many.
But in fact Ray says the Bible is teaching that many will come claiming JESUS is the Christ and WILL deceive many."
Linny my Buddy,
An excellent explanation in your above Post, I couldn't have explained it better. Until reading Your Post, I was getting a little confused. This translation thing and paying attention to the Words is most important as it was once again proven in Your Post. It can get mind boggling at times, this translation thing, ;D.
Kind Regards, Samson.
Jesus was warning that many CHRISTIANS will come (preachers, missionaries, teachers) and be very deceiving. This we have seen!
Hope this makes sense.

Jam 3:1 Not many of you should presume to be teachers, my brothers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly.
Jam 3:2 We all stumble in many ways. If anyone is never at fault in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to keep his whole body in check.

Just responding to the many good posts in this thread.
I thought what I said and the words of our God that I referenced made it clear as to what I am speaking of.
Good stuff overall.
I see balance in all of God's words to us.
