The Requirements for the Messiah and Christian Contradictions.\n\nA. Here is just a brief list of some of the requirements for the Messiah:\n\n(1) He must be Jewish (see Deut. 17:15; Numb. 24:17);\n(2) He must be descended from Judah (Gen. 49:10) and Solomon (numerous places, but see I Chron 22:9-10);\n(3) With the coming of the Messiah will be the physical ingathering of Judah from the four corners of the earth (Isa. 11:12, 27:12-13);\n(4) Also with coming of the Messiah will be the reestablishment of the Holy Temple (Micah 4:1);\n(5) In addition the Messianic age will be one of world-wide peace (Isa. 2:4, 11:6, Micah 4:3); and, finally,\n(6) In the Messianic age the entire world will believe in G-d (Isa. 11:9, 40:5; Zephaniah 3:9).\n\nB. Satisfying the Criteria -- the Geneology Problem\n\nEven if Christians could establish that (a) Jesus existed and (b) Jesus was Jewish, they would have trouble proving that (c) Jesus was descended from Judah and Solomon. Both of the detailed geneologies in Matthew and Luke trace Joseph's lineage to King David, albeit differently since Matt. 1:16 says that a fellow named Jacob was Jospeph's father, and Luke 3:23 tells us that Joseph was the son of Eli. (It seems that that family had a lot of problems determining fatherhood.) But these geneologies are bogus because Matthew tells us that Joseph wasn't the father of Jesus, but Mary was still a virgin even after he was conceived through the "Holy Spirit"! Matt. 1:18. Since we know that geneology runs from the father (Numbers 1:18; 2:2), Jesus cannot claim descendency from Judah.\n\nC. No Messianic Era.\n\nEven still, Christians still have a problem because they still can't establish points 3, 4, 5, or 6 in paragraph A, above. Saying that those events will happen in a Second coming is circular at best and contradicts Revelations 22:20 ("Yes, I am coming quickly.")\n\n\n  \nAbuse and Misquotes of the Hebrew Bible\n\nA. Isaiah 53. Who Was the "Suffering Servant"?\n\nMissionaries commonly Isaiah 53 as a proof text that the Messiah will suffer for the people's sins. E.g.:\n\n"(3)He was despised and rejected by men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with sickness; and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not:\n(4)Surely he has borne our sicknesses, and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, struck by God, and afflicted:\n(5)But he was wounded because of our transgressions, he was bruised because of our iniquities; his sufferings were that we might have peace; and by his injury we are healed:\n(6)All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all:\n(7)He was oppressed, but he humbled himself and opened not his mouth; he was brought like a lamb to the slaughter, and like a sheep, that is dumb before its shearers, he did not open his mouth:\n(8)By oppression and false judgment was he taken away; and of his generation who considered? For he was cut off from the land of the living, stricken for the transgression of my people:\n(9)And they made his grave among the wicked, and his tomb among the rich; although he had done no violence, and there was no deceit in his mouth:"\n\nOn its face it sounds convincing in retrospect knowing what we know about Jesus from the NT only. But, who is the "he" referred to in the verses? Let's trace it back a few lines to the previous chapter (52), where the discussion of what "he" will do begins. At 52:13 it appears to begin with "Behold, my servant shall prosper, he shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high."\n\nOK, so now we know that "he" is G-d's "servant." But who is G-d's "servant"? Let's trace our steps a little further. In Isaiah 41:8 the question is answered: "But Israel is my servant." The next line, Isaiah 41:9, adds some more: "You are

Maybe you should listen to them, rather than make guesses about how to answer them.\n\nJesus was supposedly born to a virgin- don't you know that that cannot be true?  Jesus is supposed to return in the second coming, raise the dead, and take the faithful straight to heaven.  What person using their god-given brain can believe that fairytale?  The bible is filled with advice such as for men to abandon their families and follow Jesus (family values?!?), another place Jesus publically denies his own mother.  Nice guy.\n\nMaybe YOU should reconsider the brand of snake oil you are pushing.  Perhaps it is time for the TRUTH!

First, in order to understand this issue, you have to consider it context.  This can be a very long explanation, but I'll try to keep it short and sweet.  Basically, this is referring to the second coming of Christ.  This concerns His judgment at that second coming.

We cannot really argue who Jesus was according to the Bible, because of the agreed lack of a process of authentic transmission. Can we really put our faith into an English translation of a Greek/Latin translation of another translation of another translation of Aramaic/Hebrew/Syriac writings of Hellenistic Jews who never met Jesus and, according to the Bible actually fought against the Original Disciples and their teachings? Even the sincere men who put together the most accurate translation to date (NIV) say that we still know very little about Jesus. \n\nHence as much as it is great to see passion in believing in Jesus, I hope that we can be sincere enough to review our beliefs for the sake of God. May God guide us all.

Jesus is the ultimate authority.  It is human to challenge authority.  Many attempt to argue with Christians simply as a way to deny Christ's authority in their own lives.  They reason that if they can win an argument with a Christian, any Christian, then Christ has no authority.  It's sad really.  Obviously they are experiencing a need to believe which they are struggling with.  If they were truly certain that as nonbelievers they were right they wouldn't need to try to prove it all the time.  Let them be.  Tell them you love them anyway and move on.  I don't remember anywhere in the Bible that Jesus spent a lot of time arguing with anyone trying to convince them of his authority.  He showed his authority by being above the argument.  Of course, they crucified him for it.  I like to think if Jesus stumbled into a chat room it might go something like this:\nSinner:  I don't believe in Jesus\nJesus:  You have pain.  Let me help you.\nSinner: There can't be a God because all the evil.\nJesus:  Let me wash your feet.\nSinner: I hate you.\nJesus:  I love you.  Send me an email if you want to talk.  I'll be there.  Bye.\nSinner:  Wait!  I want to argue with you!\nMessage: (Jesus has signed out of the chatroom)

miracles, no.  Jesus, I believe several people (not just apostles) have written of him.  From what I understand though, few imply the possibility that he's the son of God.

My friend, you have hit on something that God is doing in this hour.  Pray!  He's leading you to a conclusion that the mainstream church may not agree with, but which God is expressing at this time.  God has a plan for His Church, and it is not to finish it's course on earth in corruption.  :)\nIf you want any further discussion, always feel free to e-mail me.

Doubting Thomas said "My Lord and My God" and Jesus did not rebuff him and say actually my name isn't Jesus it is Michael and by  the way I am an archangel not God.\n\nJesus is separate from the angels because he sits at Gods right hand as part of the trinity, and the angels worship Jesus at the right hand of God (Rev. 5:13-14,14:6-7) and worship God ALONE. Not another angel!!\n\nJesus also has the power to forgive sins as he is one with God. Does an archangel have this power?\n\nWe need to pray that Jehovah witnesses see the light.

It has been said that Jesus could OMGWTFBBQPWN anyone except the Silver Surfer.  Oh, and apparently, he couldn't PWN the Jews.

Jesus told us no one will know the day or the hour. Only God knows. It is up to us to live each day as if the LORD is coming today. You're right, it's not too late for the nonbelievers to claim Jesus as their LORD and Savior. Let us pray for them to open their hearts to the LORD each and every day.

The title 'god' or 'God' can be applied to Jesus. It's like the title Atty. (Psalm 82:1-6) But Jesus is not God Almighty. He admits to the following:\n1. He is a worshipper of the Almighty God, Jehovah. (John 20:17 ?)\n2.His Father is greater than he is. (John 14:28)\n3. He does not have the authority to appoint who will sit at his right hand. Only his Father has that authority. (Matthew 20:20-23)\n\nHe was seen by many. Whereas no one can see God and live. (Exodus 33:20?)\n\nThrow away the concept of a Trinity. It confuses many. Further, it is pagan in origin and therefor unclean in God's eyes.\n\nhave a good day.

Some have exploited these statements to argue their point that the Bible is unreliable or untruthful.\n\nBut, in a court judges WILL NOT BELIEVE statements by witnesses that are TOO PERFECT--without any minor inconcistencies. The judge's conclusion would always be that these statements--even under cross examination--were made up, or were too good to be true.\n\nIn reading contracts and law--w/c by the way the Bible is--we look for other provisions of these documents to really understand the whole thing.\n\nHere is a simplistic example:\n\nStatement (1): "Mike is fat".\nStatement (2): "Mike is thin".\nStatement (3): "When Mike was a kid he got sick with polio which severely affected his feet".\n\nIf you read only statements 1, and 2 you will conclude that these are really contradictory--or inconsistent--statements. But Statement (3) gives a clarification.\n\nSo, the correct conclusion considering Statement no. 3 is: "Mike is a fat man with thin legs". Agree, or disagree?\n\nNow let's go back to the 2 examples in question. Godshew(?) was correct. The case about God's warning to Adam, and his age could be reconciled. According to the apostle Peter's statement--a clarificatory one--1,000 years is just like 1 day to God. So, when Adam died at the age of 930, he died within one day in God's own time frame. \n\nAgain, Jesus did not contradict himself when he said that he and the father are one; and that the father is greater than he is. The apostle John was the one who wrote these statements and so he is the one in the better position to explain this (just like a witness in court). In John 17:20-22 he explains that the father, the son--including the disciples--are one in purpose, one in work, one in mind. \n\nFurther, if you will read John 10:25-33--and NOT just isolate John 10:30--then you will immediately notice that Jesus did not claim to be of equal power, or might, than his father. He and the Father are one in deeds (or works). Ps. read the account carefully.\n\nYou know what the problem is? some try to suit Biblical verses according to their beliefs--just like the ungodly trinity--and not suit their beliefs to what the Bible says.\n\nThis in turn is exploited by those eager to insist that the Bible is really unreliable.\n\nHope this helped a lot of people examine their Bibles closely.
