Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 06 2008,17:18)Hi mandy, So is Jesus your Lord?I was thinking about this very question tonight.If I had to choose (say they were cutting off the heads of those who denied Jesus), I would certainly not deny him! I would rest on my past teachings and experiences and declare Jesus my Lord.On the other hand, even if Jesus…[Read more]

94,Where does it say that the promised Messiah will have an “everlasting dominion”? The NT says that Jesus will eventually turn everything over to the Father so that he may be all in all.We are to serve God, not Jesus.God is a jealous God and will not give his glory to another.

Quote (david @ Mar. 06 2008,13:45)Mandy, you've clearly done some research on this.  Which scriptures are messianic prophecies in your opinion?Hi David,The lion isn't laying down with lamb, is it? There is one prediction of the coming reign of the Messiah.However, there is zero talk in the OT about two comings of the promised Messiah. Where the…[Read more]

Quote (kejonn @ Mar. 06 2008,13:42)But if one is to take the bible as a whole and say it is all God's Word, one set of books say Jesus was the “Christ” the other older set disqualifies him on many grounds.I would love as many as possible to comment on this.I believe Kejonn is correct. In my personal study it appears that the OT has many…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 06 2008,12:26)Hi mandy, So the prophets did miracles but some of their words were untrustworthy?Their words? Are you sure it was their words and not a scribe adding his .02 cents? It's happened before to various passages in the Bible, this much we know is true.I've asked you this before but you never answered me – if we…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 05 2008,06:49)Hi Mandy,Do not forget context”In that day..”If you do not know Christ how can you be one with him?“….in that day…” was referring to the day that the promised One would come and take reign. All that was expected did not happen through Jesus when he came (in that day).It's like I told Isaiah through a…[Read more]

Nick writes:Hi,Christ is the root of David and Jesse.He is also the righteous branch from their roots.Isaiah 4:2In that day the Branch of the LORD will be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the land will be the pride and glory of the survivors in Israel.**Jesus wasn't beautiful and glorious. In fact there are other scriptures that say there…[Read more]

Regarding the Sabbath:I fought this subject with Ken for many pages of the thread. I didn't think it needed to be on a certain day and I certainly didn't think we had to restrict anything – just praise God and maybe read a verse or two.Boy was I missing out on a blessing and treasure of God.Honoring the Sabbath has been an amazing path of…[Read more]

Thank you brother's for your words of wisdom.Love,Mandy

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 02 2008,19:29)Hi Mandy, The Messiah was promised to the Jews.That information maybe correct but your delivery of it has turned my ear away from the message.The Jews did not catch the bit about the Messiah coming again a second time. I can't say that I blame them there.

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 02 2008,05:20)Hi mandy, If Christ did not come to set up his kingdom then none between that time and now would have been able to enter that kingdom. Luke 16:16″ The Law and the Prophets were proclaimed until John; since that time the gospel of the kingdom of God has been preached, and everyone is forcing his way into…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 02 2008,06:27)Hi mandy, If what God gave to the chosen people regarding the two visits of Christ, first as servant and then as ruler does not meet your standard of evidence, is that really your business?These are the posts you should just keep to yourself, they don't promote anything good. Spoiled fruit. Through it out.

Hi Ken,Glad you are doing well. I'm sure you are not happy with my current searching/posting, but rest assured that I am safe in God's hands. And I am still enjoying the Sabbath! Here's a shocker….I'm even thinking about telling the kids no more Easter bunny crap. We'll see how that goes. Love,Mandy

Thanks for bumping it Irene. I've been away from the computer for a day or so.Um, yes I'll take a look at Daniel again this weekend. The thing that bothers me about pinning my hopes on this little passage is that it doesn't tie in the other prophesies about the Messiah. Could it be talking about the same Messiah? What gives us the idea that it…[Read more]

Oh, poor kid! I'll add him to my prayer list.Irene, how have you been feeling? I've finally recovered from double pneumonia. I still have a dry-hacking cough every now and then (like when I'm on the phone, or trying to sleep). But other than that, we're good! Lately I've been praying for our brother's and sister's who believe the world is…[Read more]

Quote (david @ Mar. 01 2008,17:02)In Option 3, why would you/we believe in a messiah who fulfilled only the first-appearance prophecies, since He wasn’t even supposed to complete the others until later?David,Thank you for this website and information!Regarding above, why would/should we believe in a Messiah who came once and fulfilled some of t…[Read more]

Quote (Stu @ Mar. 01 2008,09:44)As a child I supposedly predicted the death of a cousin, by mimicking beforehand what would seem to be the exact circumstances of his death. While riding my tricycle around the house I stopped, mentioned his name and asked if it was all clear to turn. This relative was found a couple of days later, dead at the…[Read more]

Quote (seek and you will find @ Mar. 01 2008,05:03)Mandy!  In Isaiah 53: 5 it says but He was wounded for our transgression, He was bruised for our iniquity; the chastisement for our peace upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.Question Who else could this be? To me that is about the Crucifixion of Jesus. Unless you know somebody else that…[Read more]
