    If Christ comes today, how do you know it is really Him?

    So, it happened twice? Once for Jesus, and once for Baha'u'llah. I heard a Baha'i claim that a forerunner comes for all manifestations. Is that an official teaching of the Baha'i Faith?

    If Christ comes today, how do you know it is really Him?

    What does this verse mean to you? “To be sure, Elijah comes and will restore all things." Matthew 17 “Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and awesome day of the LORD comes." Malachi 4:5 when this was to happen?
  3. It Aint Necessarily So

    If Christ wasn't the messiah, what was he?

    I don't believe that. Why would I? The argument for resurrection is that some people say that some other people saw Jesus when he was supposedly dead, and that when a rock was rolled away, there was no body to be seen. There would need to be a suspension f the laws of nature to revivify a body...

    Proofs for reincarnation

    As a Buddhist, I can share with you some perspectives on the concept of reincarnation. It is important to note that proving reincarnation is a deeply personal and subjective experience, and it may not be possible to provide concrete scientific evidence for it. However, Buddhism offers insights...

    Proofs for reincarnation

    I think better translation is, "born anew". It does not mean one is incarnated, born into a new body. “Most certainly I tell you, unless one is born of water and spirit, he can’t enter into God’s Kingdom. That which is born of the flesh is flesh. That which is born of the Spirit is spirit...

    Proofs for reincarnation

    Reincarnation arose in northern India between the years 1000 and 600 BC, just at the same time that prophet David and his descendants ruled Israel up until the fall of Jerusalem. The first reference to reincarnation idea is at least 2,600 years old. It appears in the sacred scriptures of...

    The Lake of Fire is Reincarnation

    Hi @InChrist . Good points you posted. I will address... I disagree of course. :) The above verse is almost always misinterpreted with a bias towards making it sound like everyone 'has to die' and that it is 'only one time'. Remember, there is a Second Death as well... Revelation 21:8 "But...

    The Lake of Fire is Reincarnation

    I think there is plenty in the biblical scriptures which refute reincarnation… “The concept of reincarnation, in any of its forms, is completely without foundation in the Bible. The truth is that we die once and then face judgment (Hebrews 9:27). The Bible never even remotely suggests that...

    If Jesus Died...

    Oh, okay. I see. ...but you used sixteen (16) words which are not scripture. ;) Yes or No, is only one (1) word. Do you want me to guess that you are saying that David represents Christ? Okay. If that's what you are saying... (Jeremiah 23:5, 6) 5 “Look! The days are coming,” declares Jehovah...

    What does it mean to be a 'Jew'?

    Hi dybmh. Good afternoon. You said in response to my challenge to you to give me a scripture that says we are to substitute the Name: That simply is not true. Let's read Exodus 20:7, it reads: "7 You shall not make wrong use of the Name of Yahweh your Elohim; for Yahweh will not leave...

    Elijah

    So what does Malachi mean when it claims (supposedly many centuries later) that Elijah will return? First of all a true prophet will appear. Secondly that prophet will bring unity. Malachi is primarily a protest against corrupt leadership which appears after the return from Babylon. It is a...

    Elijah

    I believe you are in error. Re-incarnation is not disallowed by the NT and the passage about John the Baptist being Elijah is proof since even John could tell he didn't have the body of Elijah.

    Elijah

    IMOP the expectation was that Elijah was to literally return. He did not! * John wasn't really Elijah. * Jesus wasn't the Jewish Messiah, at least not of their expectations. The title that Jesus used was "son of man" not Messiah.

    Elijah

    In connection with this, l have wondered who the two witnesses are, as spoken about in Revelation 11.

    Elijah

    Matthew 11:13-14 13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John. 14 And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come. In Christendom John the Baptist is Elijah Practising the First Covenant/Old Covenant Water Baptism. John the Baptist is Elijah. Water Baptism is...

    When was "the Messiah" first mentioned in scripture?

    that was hilarious. You completely abandoned the point you had been making and focused on something else fanciful, making a series of arbitrary connections because they advance some mysterious reading you impose on various texts. It is clear you don't know Hebrew. That's fine. You then introduce...

    When was "the Messiah" first mentioned in scripture?

    @rosends, since you want to used the Hebrew your way why not God's WAY. according to the AHLB, (the Ancient Hebrew Lexicon of the Bible). The pictograph is a picture of a thorn representing a turning, and the picture of a head. Combined these mean "turn the head". The turning of the head to...

    Expectations of the Messiah Vs What the Scriptures Stipulate

    Not sure of anywhere scripturally that stated these things, these are clauses of expectations... As far as I understand Yeshua can be seen to be a return of David reincarnated, so it is possible to fulfil all the aspects of him being of that line. John the Baptist was Elijah (Matthew...

    Expectations of the Messiah Vs What the Scriptures Stipulate

    This is a list I found which is common among Jews who reject Jesus as Messiah. Its comprehensive IMOP. 1. The Messiah is born of two human parents, as we said. But Jesus, according to Christian theology, was born of the union between a human woman and Gd (as were many other pagan deities, see...

    Isaiah 53 and Human Sin

    You have gone away from rod of iron and onto Bridegroom. You say Yeshua states that he will come as the Bridegroom. But he does not say that he is the Bridegroom in the story. You also say it refers to Christ being the son of man in the story. But again it does not say that. It seems your...
