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...
This is all good stuff. As I noted in another thread, we live in a time when all this information is at our fingertips instantaneously. We're the first generation who, because of the computer, Internet, Bible software, etc., etc., should be able to unveil aspects of the Bible that have been...
One more for tonight...
Mountains in the Bible often represent the Male Phallus or Male Generative Principle. Moses went up Mount Sinai to retrieve the 'Seed'...
Mount Zion is representative of Abraham's 'Organ' and the 'Branch' is the Seed that flows from it. The Nations will 'flow' into...
These beliefs should be considered within the historical context of the seventy years before the destruction of the second temple, since that is the period in which Jewish Messianism was at its peak.
The Torah, the foundational text of Judaism, does not provide a comprehensive and explicit description of the Jewish messiah. However, it does contain various prophecies and references that have been interpreted throughout Jewish history to allude to the coming of a future redeemer.
In Jewish...
Thanks. We’ve accepted the privilege of being “taught by Jehovah” (Isaiah 54:13).
We should try to be understanding of others’ perceptions, though. Remember that most use Bibles that have taken God’s Name out & replaced it with “LORD.” And these very ones hear things like Jesus is God, and that...
I do not think he missed the mark. Nobody can accommodate all the different Bible translations.
Since you haven't read Thief in the Night for a while, here is the chapter on the Micah prophecies.
4. The amazing Micah
In one small Book of the Old Testament, I found a series of successive...
Unifying the world? It's 179 years old now. What has it done so far apart from generating position papers that have little impact. I don't think the world will ever be one, but the fraction that want the most freedom and opportunity for the most people can grow and become a majority if they are...
Whatever the "Messiah" was that was expected at the times of Jesus. The same Messiah that the Jewish people say that Jesus was not!
SIX REASONS WHY JEWS DON'T BELIEVE IN JESUS
Reason #1 – The Messiah must be from the Tribe of Judah and a Descendant of King David AND King Solomon – Jesus did...
I'd say that it's the other way around. You've learned biblical apologetics. I learned that as well as a believer. Eventually, once I had mastered the scriptures sufficiently, I could see that the apologetics were specious argumentation.
According to Christianity, Jesus had no human father...
Whatever your background, there appears to have been an absence of good teaching!
Below is an explanation of how Jesus does fulfil prophecy as the son of David. The mistake that many commentators make when looking at Matthew and Luke is to miss the connection between the two.
The Genealogies...
My present belief is that the description of Jesus and the description of the Messiah in the Old Testament.
Should that matter? Most Jews do not. Does that matter to you?
Why does that need explaining? What would need explaining is not the ways that the two accounts might overlap, but the...
As far as I understand from Biblical prophecy:
Isaiah 8:11-22 is the "First Coming" of Immanuel to lay a Snare; where the Testimony, & Law act as a Measure to the nations.
Isaiah 28 is the "Second Coming", and Closure of the Bed of Adultery; like a Fig before Summer, i.e before the Great...
2 Shmuel 7:10-13 (Samuel)
And I will appoint a place for My people, for Israel, and I will plant them, and they will dwell in their own place, and be disturbed no more; and the wicked people shall not continue to afflict them as formerly.
And even from the day that I commanded judges to be over...
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...
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...
king solomon descendant line with David: 1 chronicles 22:9-10 I forgot to explicitly mention that.
There are many other prophecies he didn't fulfill such as Jeramiah 30:3 and Isaiah 11:11-12 stating that the messiah would have been able to convince all the jews who are away from Israel to come...
