Quote (david @ Feb. 27 2008,16:48)Quote There are precisely two kinds of prophecies in referring to the Messiah–those that speak of his triumphant second coming and those that speak of his humble coming Mandy, do you disagree with the above statement?Hmmmm, I'm not sure these are good options.There is the OT explaination which the Jews hold, and…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Dec. 30 2007,05:23)Hi Tow, Indeed Christ the suffering servant will return as king and those who pierced him will now recognise him and mourn for him. He will rule from Jerusalem.The OT never says that the Messiah will “return” as King. The reason is that the Messiah was to COME as the King – accomplishing all that is said of…[Read more]

Hi David,Good to hear from you again.I looked at Is 53 for quite a while. I became frustrated because there were soooooooo many commentaries on the chapter that seemed to go in opposite directions. So many various explainations were plausable that I gave up. Seems nothing is clear-cut.No “second coming” predicted in the OT. The Messiah was to…[Read more]

Hi Nick,I'm only really asking one question here, and it has nothing to do with Tow, Stu, Kejonn or anyone else for that matter. The question I'm asking is one that you will not answer.God gave us a description of the coming Messiah in the OT. Why doesn't Jesus match that description?

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Feb. 27 2008,15:59)His works done in the power of God showed he was the Christ.Not according to the OT, Nick.The OT says a great deal about what we can expect the Messiah to accomplish. Jesus did not accomplish what he was supposed to as the Messiah.A “second coming” is a cop-out, for I can not find it written…[Read more]

Hi Keith,Good to hear from you!Quote My heart and prayer for you and Kevin is that your hearts will burn. But I pray this for myself and others also. For we all need to know him. Please do not be offended. I do not look down my nose or with disdain to you or Kevin, neither do I claim a corner on truth. I only share what is real to me.Good stuff…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Feb. 26 2008,18:22)The answer Jesus gave was that he had already told them but they could judge by his works if they did not believe.And this is the point I am trying to make……Jesus' works did NOT match what was promised/predicted of the Messiah to come.That is why the Jews, and John the Baptist were confused. That is why…[Read more]

Hi Nick,Quote If you come to Christ to know all the answers you had better be very very very patient.I certainly never wanted to know all the answers. I just wanted to know some key answers – answers that I felt were necessary for my mind to initiate faith. Those simple questions were not only answered but they were squelched by well-intentioned…[Read more]

Can you believe how many hits their thread has received since it's start only days ago? MY GOODNESS! This Ron guy is popular!

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Feb. 26 2008,08:27)Hi KJ, No faith so you feel free to judge God and His plans?I wouldn't say that Kejonn is a man of no faith. I wouldn't feel free to make that judgement of him, nor should you.However, his faith allows him to question. Perhaps your faith does not allow you to look beyond what you see in front of you? I…[Read more]

Sure, Nick.My apologies,Mandy

t8, I didn't realize that as a “non-believer” you couldn't post prayer. I just thought that a non-believer couldn't post in the “Believer's Place”, but it goes beyond that doesn't it? Oh, well, I guess I'll figure out in time where I can post and where I cannot. Thanks, Mandy

I can't believe how good I feel. I'm almost afraid to trust it. But this little white pill they're giving me has stopped all my symtoms and the so-called tumor they thought would take my life has disappeared (there is a slight possibility that it is “hidding” but I'll press forward in the positive-thinking lane).Hi to everyone! Irene, what has…[Read more]
