HH: I don't know what you mean when you say there are always differing
opinions and then a consensus. There does not always seem to be a
consensus. This seems true of the Jewish community too, I might add.
There is generally a majority opinion and a minority opinion. There may
be several minority opinions. And there may be two or more major views
that have about equal popularity.

HH: I think there is only one Mashiach as the fulfillment of prophecy.
The anointed one is a king and must come from the house of David, not
the house of Joseph.
