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...
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...
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...
What is your official title in the Assemblies of Yahweh? What is your role? Your position? Are you a congregant, a leader, a minister, pastor, teacher, prophet, oracle, founder?
The reason I ask is because, as I showed you repeatedly, there is no law to use a specific name. And you seem to...
So I'll continue now with my post to dybmh, msg #19.
You said:
OK. Let's consider this logically. I cannot go through all the different names that people use to address Yahweh and show how they are false. It would take too long. However, we know that Yahweh has one Name from the Bible from...
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...
actually, the starting point would be well before that. It would be establishing what a "prophecy" is and how it operates and agreeing on hermeneutic rules for understanding, and a textual canon and theological schema in which to understand. Without a common lens, one will no doubt come to a...
The starting point in any dabate between Christians and Jews, as Edersheim was not slow to realise, is to establish a pool of prophecies that both recognise as having a messianic association.
According to Torah Jews today, the list of biblical passages referring to the Messiah are relatively...
According to your very words, anything to contradict God's words is a lie, that would make God a liar, because He told the Israelites to murder and make graven images after telling them not to.
The Bible has many verses stating the exact opposite of other verses!
I prayed to the Holy Spirit...
If you have any teaching that contradicts God's word, then it is a lie. It really is that simple.
Let us see how Holy Scriptures indicates who has the truth. Firstly, it says that the road to life is cramped and narrow, and very few people are on it:
"“Go in through the narrow gate, because...
Yes, the messiah will fulfill all those things in his one lifetime. The fulfillment of all these prophecies is really the only way we have of identifying the messiah.
I have a question for the Jews of RF
So Jews only please!
@Rival too if she has anything to contribute :)
I have been looking into why Jesus Christ is not The Messiah and I must say that I no longer believe he was :(
I am therefore studying the Jewish concept, as the concept is Jewish!
Have...
Ummm... I don't take bible verses to support what the bible says as evidence. Same way I don't use Harry Potter books to prove wizards exist. Sorry. That was eloquently put though. I appreciate it.
God (as described in the bible, if you will) is very aware of the limitations of text and human languages.
He often uses them to hide things until they are to be revealed.
Apart from the obvious example of the confusion of speech at Babel ("lest anything they imagine be possible" -or so we did...
