I believe in God.So do YOU believe in the Jewish Messiah?
I believe in God.
I also believe that there will be a Jewish Mashiach.
?When the jewish
Evidently, as I've already pointed out on this thread at least once, we do not agree on who the Mashiach is. And, it is very likely that we don't even believe in the same God.And so do we Christians, and that Jewish Mashiach is Jesus.
I will raise up for them a prophet from among their countrymen like you(Moses), and I will put My words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them everything that I command him.
Why I believe Deuteronomy 18:18 is Jesus:
- Both Moses and Jesus were born when Israel was under bondage, Moses in Egypt and Jesus during the Roman bondage of Israel.
- Moses' first miracle was to turn water into blood(Exodus 7:20), Jesus' first miracle was to turn water into wine(John 4:46).
- Both had seventy helpers, Moses(Numbers 11:16), Jesus(Luke 10:1).
- Both fasted 40 days and 40 nights in the desert, Moses(Exodus 34:28), Jesus(Matthew 4:2).
- Both faces shone on the mountain, Moses(Exodus 34:29), Jesus(Matthew 17:2).
- Both brought a new covenant, Moses the covenant of the law and Jesus the covenant of grace, see John 1:17.
- Both brought salvation, Moses saved the people of Israel out of Egypt and Jesus saves people out of eternal punishment through his death on the cross.
- Both are children of Israel and prophets.
- Moses gave water from the rock, Jesus is the rock and the water.
- Moses brought the first Holy Priest, Jesus is the last Holy Priest.
- Moses brought the law, Jesus fulfilled the law.
Jesus is the image of grace, therefore he blessed and healed the wicked.Jesus didn't send out plagues on whole populations, nor cursed them with the death of their firstborn. Even when his disciples wanted to cause fire to rain down on the towns that rejected him, Jesus rebuked his disciples, essentially saying, "What kind of person do you think I am?" Luke 9:51-56
This is a matter of faith, I believe the Bible is the truth.This is unsubstantiated. The only place that says this is the NT.
And not even stated in any work authored by Paul himself. And suspiciously only mentioned in a book written several decades after the death of Rabban Gamliel.
The speaker in Acts of the Apostles 22:3 is Paul himself, it is in the first person. But if that is not enough, see Philippians 3:5, circumcised the eighth day, of the nation of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; as to the Law, a PhariseeActs was written decades after the death of Gamliel by the person who authored Luke. Why didn't Paul ever state this key fact in any of his own letters?
Jesus is of course the greatest teacher, he is God himself. Gamaliel is considered the most important rabbi by Jews who do not believe in Jesus. But I believe that Gamaliel became a Christian, his speech in the Acts of the Apostles 5 is a hint to this, he knew Jesus is the truth, therefore he helped his followers.Also shouldn't it be Jesus, according to him?
I believe in God.
I also believe that there will be a Jewish Mashiach.
?Why I don't believe it is about Jesus:
Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi.
Yahweh raised up all these men and put words into all their mouths and they spoke everything Yahweh commanded them.
Both.Maschiach as Redeemer or as King,or as both?

He says that he was a Pharisee, so it is not unlikely that he was also taught by Gamaliel.
Both.
Is that your definition of redeemer? If so, then I take back what I said. The Mashiach is not a redeemer, per your understanding. He brings about the redemption which is a process that includes bringing back all of the Jews to the Land of Israel, building the Third Temple, instituting a halachic state led by the Davidic lineage here in Israel, and fighting off Israel's enemies.So how can a Messianic king bear the sins of His people?

Yeah.Like this? "and he shall speak peace to the nations;
his rule shall be from sea to sea,
and from the River to the ends of the earth."
Yeah.
Our (Nation of Israel) blood, from circumcision, and the covenant (that really is a series of covenants) that we have with God.Whose blood and what covenant?

You thought wrong. Where does the term "covenant" appear in Exodus 12?I thought the blood of the covenant was the lamb which was slain and its blood
daubed upon the lintel?

The name Jesus means "Yahweh saves".
