Sorry if this has been asked, i havent had time to read the comments.

But i have absolutely no idea what Christian is.. This is one thing i hope gets explained soon

@ ekolocation A place in the temple is also an excellent theory.

I’m just saying that Christian can very much be alive..

sinister that’s very similar to what they showed us with the #15 rabbit in that video in season 4. I completely forgot about that since they blew up that compartment to expose the opening to the wheel that moves the island.

The show has ALREADY shown us someone is powerful enough 2 fake an ENTIRE plane crash, hence it would be quite easy 2 fake the death of 1 individual.

Christian’s appearance on the freighter is still the only thing that is skeptic 2 me in regards 2 this theory. Unless, of course he is on a different spiritual level then other human beings…

Or maybe there is a dharma station where a person can send their likeness somewhere else. How awesome would that be..

Second, I keep seeing references on this site and others about MIB ‘using’ Locke’s body. There’s nothing that we’ve actually seen or been told to suggest that Locke’s body was anything other than an excuse for MIB to portray Locke. MIB only needed for Ben to see what he thought was Locke ‘brought back to life’. Once he bought into MIB actually being Locke the stage was set and Locke’s actual body was a liability. He never actually possessed Locke’s body or had any actual need for it.

I really like the idea that Christian may be an entity like Jacob and MIB. It would certainly fit into the biblical themes running through the show. The book of Revelations 12:7-10 talks about a war where Satan and his angels fight against Michael and his angels.

I’m kicking around a theory about Christian being an entity like Jacob who’s purpose is to bring about the “savior” of the island – Arron. Jack was the intended one, (hence ‘He walks among us but isn’t one of us’) but Jack lacks faith which puts him at odds with Christian. Claire gives birth to Arron who takes Jack’s intended place as the island’s hero. This would also explain Jack’s inherent desire to “fix” things and his frustration at not being able to do that.

This brings us the cabin and Christian’s appearance to Locke.

MIB assumes the form of Christian (who is known to Claire and thereby has some credibility.) As her Father Claire accepts what he tells her and he uses her to displace the ash that surrounds Jacobs cabin. Once an opening is made MIB is free to enter the cabin which forces Jacob to flee.

When Locke returns to the cabin hoping to speak with Jacob he meets Christian (MIB) and Claire. Locke doesn’t know Christian but certainly knows Claire. She provides some credibility to Christian who claims to speak on behalf of Jacob. He tells Locke to move the island setting in motion the events leading to his death. When Ben moves the island instead of Locke it forces MIB to find another means to remove Locke. He appears to Michael on the freighter and allows it be destroyed and then appears again to Locke in the cavern telling him again to turn the wheel which sends Locke on the path that leads to his death and eventual return with Ben and the opportunity to kill Jacob.
