@Lightenup,

1. “God sent His Son” — Tanakh foundation

The Tanakh repeatedly speaks of a divine figure sent by God who is distinct from God yet shares His nature.

– Prov 30:4 — “What is His name, and what is His Son’s name, if you know?”

Explain how Prov 30:4 is a reference for God sending His Son; and how the Jesus is shown to be “a divine figur…[Read more]

@Lightenup,

My apologizes, I said things that you weren’t privy to in the past as you weren’t apart of those conversations. Most everything you just stated I have commented on. The only personal thing I asked was is it fear or stubbornness that keeps you where you are; nothing more, nothing less. If you feel this is a personal attack, it is not…[Read more]

@Lightenup,

God the Father sent His only begotten Son into the world as a bond servant, fully man while still remaining eternally divine, as the promised Messiah. Born of the seed of Abraham through Mary who married Joseph. The Messiah is sitting at the right hand of the Father who will put all His enemies under His feet.

You didn’t answer, is i…[Read more]

@Lightenup,

So what does G-d mean when he says of Solomon “I will make his dynasty permanent” or “I will grant to his dynasty permanent rule over Israel”?

@Kieth,

You responded to Lightenup with the following:

It is prophesied that Jesus would come through Davids lineage, Solomon is his Davids son.

Absolutely!

It could be any son of Davids.

NOT AT ALL!! Read 2 Samuel 7:12 When the time comes for you to die, I will raise up your descendant, one of your own sons, to succeed you, and I will establish…[Read more]

@Lightenup,

Please re-read “He will build a house for my name, and I will make his dynasty permanent.” The one who built the Temple is the same whose dynasty will be permanent…it is speaking of Solomon and no other son.

Again it says, “He will build a temple to honor me; he will become my son, and I will become his father. I will grant to hi…[Read more]

@Lightenup,

1. “Messiah must come through Solomon, not Nathan.”
The Tanakh never states that requirement. The promises to David in 2 Samuel 7 and 1 Chronicles 22 establish a dynasty, not a single-branch requirement. Later prophets describe the future ruler as:
– “a shoot from the stump of Jesse” (Isa 11:1)
– “a righteous Branch for David” (Jer 2…

@Lightenup,

Jesus is biologically the seed of David through Mary whose father provides the tribal lineage.

Now we’re going in circles and you’re parroting what you have been told is truth. You still haven’t explained how Mary can be used for lineage when her lineage is traced back to David thru Nathan and who did G-d say the Messiah was to be a…[Read more]

@Lightenup,

“what ‘thought’ do I want to address?”

That’s a loaded question!

When we previously left off we were discussing how the Jesus could be the true Messiah. He wasn’t conceived of man, but of the spirit according to Matthew and Luke. You claim that thru adoption the Jesus can be the Messiah; yet, it was G-d who said the Messiah wou…[Read more]

@Lightenup

And that’s the point, there isn’t enough information given to make a 100% deduction of why Noah cursed his grandson. BUT, your happy with your “belief” to say Noah was “careless” in what he said in cursing Canaan because he was “drunk.” Except the passage doesn’t support Noah was “careless” in his speech; he knew something was amiss a…[Read more]

They do not understand the meaning of the end-times prophecy, particularly Daniel 2 and 7

Do you? They are speaking of the same thing; christianity has twisted the end of chapter 7 to fit a “returning the Jesus” narrative. Concerning Revelation, still waiting for an explanation of what it means for something to happen “soon” as the Jesus states in…[Read more]

@Lightenup,

Your believing Noah “lashed” out after getting drunk is only a belief, it can’t be supported scripturally; but rather it would seem is a teaching of a religion and their condemnation of alcohol. Noah got drunk, did something stupid, past out, and when he woke was angry and lashed out – see how bad drinking alcohol is.

You say “all…[Read more]

@Lightenup,

For Ham to see his father naked but his child is the one who is cursed seems over the top, which is why I say Ham did something bad to his father; so bad that Noah would curse his son and why the fourth son and not his eldest. Ham did something to Noah and this is what we don’t get in this passage; we never learn what happened and t…[Read more]

@Lightenup,

I think the more important question is what did Ham do to Noah that he would curse Canaan (What land did the Israelite’s take possession of…hmm – coincidence). To be cursed because Ham saw his father naked doesn’t make sense as it doesn’t fit the punishment; besides, how would Noah have known he saw him naked? He was covered when…[Read more]

Easter day, or if you’re a super christian “resurrection day”, has come and gone and as I ponder the day it occurred to me; what is celebrated and what does one worship on this day? Coming from over 40 years inside the “church”, do christians follow G-d’s command of worshiping HIM alone or have they included other “things” in their “worship”? Exd…[Read more]

@Berean,

You do realize this is suppose to be a world wide happening…right???!?! The world is suppose to fall under the beast and NOT a single nation. Your fake prophetess said the same thing 150 years ago and guess what, NOTHING!! Didn’t she also predict the coming of the Jesus twice? Additionally, every link sited is about year or two old;…[Read more]

The Jesus is called the “Passover Lamb” (I Cor 5:7) and is linked back to the original Passover when G-d freed the people of Israel from slavery in Egypt; somehow the Jesus becomes this lamb and sacrifices himself for the sins of the world. It is also taught this “sacrifice” was “salvation thru substitution.” That this event was somehow loo…[Read more]

It’s that time of the year again where the christian world celebrates the human sacrifice of a man whose death was to be the propitiation for all mankind and, in the biblical sense, refers to, “a sacrifice that appeases G-d’s wrath and reconciles sinners to Him. Signifying how the Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross serves to remove G-d’s anger towar…[Read more]

@Berean,

What of the following did Jesus fulfill? To claim this will happen when the Jesus returns, please tell me where G-d said the messiah was to come twice. Even the Jesus doesn’t say he’ll do any of this! When he comes back, he’s going to judge the world NOT unite it under G-d.

The Messiah must be Jewish 
“…you may appoint a king over y…[Read more]

@Berean,

The question has never been whether G-d established a day of rest at creation, it is when. What day did G-d start creation so we know what day was the last? We use a calendar today to count time; there was day and night at creation. I’ll ask again to whom were the “10 Commands” given at Mt. Sinai, Israel or the world?

In NOTHING you c…[Read more]
