@Gene,

What of the following did Jesus fulfill? Why do I reject Jesus as the messiah (the anointed one)? If you claim this will happen when Jesus returns, please tell me where God said the messiah was to come twice. Don’t think I’ve “missed” any “mark.”

First of all, he must be Jewish 
“…you may appoint a king over you, whom the L-rd your G-d…[Read more]

@Gene,

You: IF you think Jesus isn’t the true Messiah then you have completely missed the mark.

Me: Explain. I have presented information you flat out reject or just ignore because it doesn’t align with what you believe. You refuse to answer my questions concerning the validity of Jesus being the messiah.

You: even the Jews know when the Mes…[Read more]

@Carmel,

Me: You then bring up Abraham and Sarah and presume in Gen 21:1 (which has nothing to do with the Messiah)

You: MUSTN’T THE JEWISH MESSIAH BE A SON OF ABRAHAM???

Me: Was the promise given to Abraham the Messiah would come from him? NO! However, technically the Messiah would have to be a “son” of Abraham as he is the father of the natio…[Read more]

@Carmel,

Me: We cannot forget it was the spirit is who impregnated Mary and NOT of the seed of David. Once again, you are justifying lies.

You: SO IS THAT HOW YOU BELIEVE IN A GOD WHO IS OMNIPOTENT???

Me: No!! I believe the words God spoke to David, when HE said David’s lineage will continue through Solomon. HIS greatness have nothing to do w…[Read more]

@Gene,

Continuing with the accusations of not understanding?!?! For 40 years I walked under the “christian banner”, read the bible, prayed, attended “church”, when the moment presented spoke on the “saving power” of the Jesus, did all the “christiany” things christians do. To tell me I “don’t understand” is pure foolishness; I understand all to w…[Read more]

@Gene,

You: I don’t celebrate “Easter”…I celebrate the “PASSOVER”, by remembering the sacrifice of the Lamb of God, that he offered up for the forgiveness of our sins. Not that Jesus’ sacrifice itself forgives our sins.

Me: You do realize what you said is contradictory? Either the “lamb of God” was offered for the forgiveness of sin or it wasn…[Read more]

@Jodi,

The only thing in my last post that really matters are the last six questions that have been asked.

What you wrote doesn’t align with what gospels say.

@Gene,

Happy Easter!

To ALL, specifically Gene,

You: Nowhere in scripture does it say he “rose” on Sunday morning. You force the text to say that by changing the word tense, and leaving out the rest of the sentence.

Me: REALLY!!! I’m “forcing” this “tense change.” No, I can read! Can you? Everyone of these translations states Jesus “rose” early on the first day of…[Read more]

That test post went thru, but my reply to Gene I receive a message that my response was “a potentially unsafe operation has been detected in your request to this site”

So much for being a place to freely express one’s thoughts. All done! Good luck to all and enjoy your religion.

@Berean,

Wow! You can’t even defend what you believe! You remind me of a Jehovah’s Witness repeating what you have been told to say and anything beyond that, you’re lost. You can’t explain Isa 53 since all you know are a few verses you have been told mean the Jesus. You cited Ps 22:16, but are unable to explain the context of the chapter. I laugh…[Read more]

@Carmel,

You can explain it away all you want, but the words written are the words written and you cannot change them. Luke claimed the lineage to Jesus came thru David’s son Nathan and not thru David’s son Solomon. That alone throws Luke’s account into the trash because Heli is a descendant of Nathan AND it was God who told David HE was estab…[Read more]

@Berean,

You quote Ps 22:16 as “proof” to who the “our” is in Isa 53:1 and the “message” no one would believe?!?! That makes zero sense! Or were you just spouting off verses again without explanation?

How exactly does Isa 53:5 explain the pronoun in verse one?

You then quote Zech 13:6; recommend you read verses 1-5 to put 6 into perspective…[Read more]

@Gene,

You: “I meant to say was he was resurrected Saturday evening at sunset”

Me: I’m sorry your statement really ticks me off as you doubled down on the 3:00pm time frame, insisting that is when Jesus was raised up; and you now “meant to say” it was really “at sunset”?!?!?!?? In all the places I have traveled around the world 3:00pm and su…[Read more]

@Carmel,

You: “when there were no sons to preserve the inheritance, the husband (son-in-law) would become the son upon marriage to keep up the family name.”

Me: I haven’t found this verse that says when marrying the daughter of a son less man the man being married becomes the “son” of that man. The only thing I found was when a man only has…[Read more]

@Berean,

Who do you think the “our” is in verse one and what message are they speaking that is so unbelievable? Who is speaking here? Please don’t stop at one verse, explain them all and what’s happening. Singling out a few verses and saying it’s Jesus is nonsensical and proves nothing but cherry picking, place all the verses in context and expla…[Read more]

@Danny,

What an intellectual response to questions asked in post# 946186. You really don’t know how to respond; except with what you have been told to believe and even then your grasping at thin air, you believe something you can’t explain.

Still need to know who is speaking where in this dialog and what pronouns reference who. Lead me; bri…[Read more]

@Gene,

Since Jodi’s post is “most excellent” (Bill, Ted is that you?!?!)

Maybe you can tell me what it means to be “circumcised of the heart” and why in Ezek 44:9 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Every foreigner uncircumcised of heart and uncircumcised of flesh shall not come into my sanctuary—not any of the foreigners who are in the midst of the Isr…[Read more]

@Gene,

King James Bible

Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils.

Let’s analyze this wording, it won’t take much because all you need is a child like level of understanding to comprehend what is written. It says “when Jesus was risen”; when was Jesus r…[Read more]

@Gene,

Why are you making this so complicated?!!? Because you can’t admit error?

First, it explicitly says “rose early on the first day” and therefore CANNOT be at 3:00pm on the last day. The Jewish day ends and begins at sunset and traditionally today 6:00pm is used, so early on the first day would would put the time of Jesus’ resurre…[Read more]
