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

    "Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man." Luke 17:26 What else could "Days of Son of man" mean, other than the time when Christ comes and stays on earth for the second time? The way I see it, is, Scriptures is giving signs to recognize the true...

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

    I cannot find any specific verse reference to the “Days of the Son of Man”. Do you have one in mind? I do think the Day of Christ referred to in the scriptures is the removal of the believers/church from the earth. This is followed by the Day of the Lord, the Tribulation Period of judgment upon...

    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...

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

    Within Judaism, here's a list that many to most observant Jews tend to believe are Messianic: The Sanhedrin will be re-established (Isaiah 1:26) Once he is King, leaders of other nations will look to him for guidance (Isaiah 2:4) The whole world will worship the One God of Israel (Isaiah...

    What is your opinion of Jesus?

    I don’t see the criteria for the Messiah as too many or too much. I believe Jesus has or will fulfill all prophetic prophecy referring to Messiah.

    What is your opinion of Jesus?

    The Messiah is not solely a Jewish case and hypothesis, so they are not the best to interpret the requirements. The Messiah is not coming to restore the Jews to their former position of chosen ones. He is a world redeemer. All the major world religions are expecting a Messiah, a world...

    What is your opinion of Jesus?

    In my opinion, as the Messiah is a Jewish case and hypothesis, they are the best to interpret the requirements. We have seen how badly the gospel authors have misinterpreted "prophecies". Anyway, for many of the criteria and especially for Zechariah 8:23 there can be no misinterpretation.
  8. Ajax

    What is your opinion of Jesus?

    Criteria for Messiah. 1. He must be a Jew (Deut 17:15, Num 24:17) - The only condition fulfilled by Jesus. 2. He must be a direct descendant of King David (Isaiah 11:1) through King Solomon (I Proverbs 22:8-10), only if Solomon kept his faith in God Yahweh (II Chronicles 7 :19) which, however...

    The Curse of the Law.

    Maybe instead of escaping it we could confront it. So what would happen to the curse if the blessings were found to be saying the same things as the curses, and the curses were saying the same things as the blessings? As even the blessings have been cursed: If ye will not hear, and if ye...

    By Faith. Why?

    Rambling incoherent ridiculous response. Paraphrased from Abraham Lincoln concerning slavery: The only moral exchange or purchase is when both parties agree and benefit. Yes, the Bible considers slavery moral and legal as long as it is not from your own tribe. Foreign slaves is OK.

    By Faith. Why?

    Your posts are all over the place. Can you try to focus on just one point at a time? You start off with a rambling statement that getting a loan is the same as slavery. Are you kidding? No, when I got my home loan I knew what I was doing. I was getting a place to live where my...

    By Faith. Why?

    I don't know, you enter into self-induced slavery whenever you sign a contract for paying off a vehicle or a house. When one ends up not paying, they end up making a false witness and often committing theft, but in the Progressive world, that is supposedly fine as a reparation due to "slavery"...

    cause-and-effect: "cause" require evidence too

    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...

    cause-and-effect: "cause" require evidence too

    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...

    cause-and-effect: "cause" require evidence too

    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...

    do you believe Jesus was the messiah?

    Are you singing a 'new song'?

    Each religious group thinks they are the chosen ones to survive; the problem with this is that I believe we could show most don't keep to the Laws already set... Where we can blatantly show the world is already following anti-Christ's doctrine, and most are not wise enough to get it...

    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...
