How do you correlate rising from the dead to saving the world?NetDoc said:Rising from the dead was the great giveaway for me.
However, the New Testament is always referring to the prophecies he fulfilled.
Is rising from the dead a requirement of the Moshiach? While Jesus may be a messenger for the Gentiles or even their "messiah" his supposed resurrection is no sign that he is the Moshiach, there are certain criterian set forth in the Torah that must be met.NetDoc said:Rising from the dead was the great giveaway for me.

At what point haven't the jewish people been in great turmoil ?Maize said:The Jewish people definitely needed a Messiah at the time. They were in great turmoil under Roman rule. Because of their situation they were looking for military leader, and too a lesser extent, a spiritual ones. But when you're in conditions such as the Jews were in the 1 century, spiritual matters take a backseat for most. So, enter Jesus onto the scene. He fit the spiritual leader, but not the military role. So for some he fit the bill, but not all.
The Davidic kingdom?jewscout said:At what point haven't the jewish people been in great turmoil ?
Which i believe lasted about a century or two. In the span of say...a several thousand year old culture that's not muchMaize said:The Davidic kingdom?
He must not only come from David but also specifically from Solomon.Lintu said:I don't see how Jesus is a descendant of David. Joseph wasn't really his father, therefore I don't see the connection.
Joseph's lineage goes to Solomon's brother not Solomon himself.2Samuel 7:12-13 said:"And when your days (David) are fulfilled, and you shall sleep with your fathers, I will set up your seed after you, who shall issue from your bowels, and I will establish his kingdom. He shall build a house for my name, and i will make firm the throne of his kingdom forever..."
Luke 3:31 said:"...which was the son of Nathan, which was the son of David."
