Can anyone see any way possible that those saying, EGO EIMI O XRISTOS, in Matt 24:5 could be teachers saying that Jesus is the Messiah, and they do believe that, but they lead people away from the truth of God's Word due to self-deception or ignorance.
It seems to me that to take the verse this way would require taking the Greek following the participle LEGONTES as indirect discourse. It would also require taking the verb PLANAO as unintentionally leading someone down the wrong path rather than a conscious attempt to lead them from truth.
