I'm an ex-Christian. I know what they teach. You have yet to tell me what Jesus did that fulfilled the prophecies.Stop by the nearest Mission and snag a Gideon's.
What you said about non-believers going to Hell even if they have never harmed a soul is contrary to the teachings of the Catholic Church, which admits the possibily of salvation also for unbelievers who truly seek God.

He needs to:
- Gather the 10 lost tribes back to Israel.
- Build the Temple.
- Bring peace to the Jewish world and enable Jews to study in peace; no more wars.
- Be a leader of Israel (a king, in Scripture).
- Bring offerings to the Temple.
Christian Scripture means nothing to me and 1 Chron is talking about David. Solomon builds the Temple after him.- Matthew 15:24 But He answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
- Esaias 66:1 Thus saith the Lord, Heaven is My throne, and the earth is My footstool: what kind of a house will ye build Me? and of what kind is to be the place of My rest?
- Matthew 23:37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, [thou] that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under [her] wings, and ye would not! 38 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. 39 For I say unto you, Ye shall not see Me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed [is] he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
- Matthew 21:43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.
- 1 Chronicles 28:3 but God said, Thou shalt not build Me a house to call My name upon it, for thou art a man of war, and hast shed blood.
If that person doesn't bow to God because he has not yet understood that He is the true God, but such person desires in his heart to meet the true God, he will certainly be saved and he will recognize the true God when he will meet Him after his death.
The fundamental reason why I believe in Jesus Christ, is that I find that the christian concept of God and of divine love is the highest possible concept. I find that the idea itself that God loves us so much that He chose to assume the human nature and accepted to suffer crucifission in order to save us, expresses such a high concept of God and of divine love that it can comes only from God.........................

If you want, you can take this elsewhere; this is not a debate thread.And then the kingdom was divided, with Solomon's even more worthless son as captain of the southern sinking-ship.
The northern tribes are said by Jeremiah 18 to be reformed from a marred pot. But chapter 19 says Jerusalem and Judah is a broken pot that can never be made whole again.
Whereas, pre-human Jesus was "IN" the beginning of creation but Not "BEFORE" the beginning of creation as his God was "BEFORE" anything else.- Rev. 4:11

Idolatry is a low form of love. The highest form of love is not a respecter of persons
James 2:1-4
- Matthew 15:24 But He answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
- Esaias 66:1 Thus saith the Lord, Heaven is My throne, and the earth is My footstool: what kind of a house will ye build Me? and of what kind is to be the place of My rest?
- Matthew 23:39 For I say unto you, Ye shall not see Me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed [is] he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
- Matthew 21:43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof
Since Pentecost the Israel of God is 'spiritual Israel ' a spiritual nation ' the Christian congregation - Romans 2:28-29; 1 Peter 2:9,5.
Thus, it is Now a spiritual temple in the heavens with God's kingdom (Daniel 2:44) being the seat of government.
Jerusalem 'above' is Now mother as per Galatians 4:26.
Note: Jesus is the King (leader) over the figurative sheep and goats at the coming time of separation of Matthew 25:31-34,40
So, the coming Peace is first a spiritual peace among Jesus' genuine 'wheat' Christians, then a coming global Peace on Earth among persons of goodwill.
I find No Scripture that teaches God 'assumed the human nature'
Christ’s Passion? That does not look like much of a deal. Was that a sacrifice?

Human timeline is a straight line starting because it starts with father Adam.Jesus' BODY was created.
If you're not finding it, you're not looking very hard.
Human timeline is a straight line. God's time is a circle.
John 1: 14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us.
1 john 3: 16 16 This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us.
Gal 2:20 The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
Phil 2: 5 In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:
Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death, even death on a cross!
God does Not die according to Psalms 90:2 because God is from everlasting to everlasting. ( No beginning, No ending )
