Hi brother Kerwin,The Rabbi you quoted never claims that Jesus is Messiah. David was a prophet doesn't make any difference unless Christians pick and choose David's prophecies to fit into their so called fulfillment with Jesus. No jew will claim them as prophecy towards their Messiah as if he will die and raise again. Jews beleive only…[Read more]

Please read the whole article which you quoted from Wikipedea you will realise that there is nothing so special about human Messiah and about the title it is even given to any human who is faithful to God.

For 2,000 years Jews have rejected the Christian idea of Jesus as messiah. Why?Please read the following:http://www.aish.com/jw/s/48892792.html

Maimonides' views of JesusAccording to Maimonides Jesus of Nazareth is not the Messiah.”As for Jesus of Nazareth, who claimed to be the anointed one and was condemned by the Sanhedrin. Daniel had already prophesied about him, thus: 'And the children of your people's rebels shall raise themselves to set up prophecy and will stumble.' (Ibid. 14) Can…[Read more]

Quote (kerwin @ May 25 2010,16:28)Adam,Perhaps you should ask the Jews why they believe the Messiah is their savior.  They believe he ushers in the Messianic Age and that the Messianic Age is an age when none sin.The Talmun uses II Samual 22:28 to support the idea of the Messiah being a Savior according to the Entry on the Jewish Messianism at…[Read more]

Quote (chosenone @ May 24 2010,14:49)Hi all.   I believe that we do not have “free will”.  Here is just some of the scriptures that I believe that Gods will will be done, not ours.  Ro. 11:32… For God locks up all together in stubbornness, that He should be merciful to all.   I believe God is in complete control, look what He says about Isr…[Read more]

Quote (942767 @ May 25 2010,11:06)Hi Adam:I did not say that human sperm causes the transmission of sin.  I said that all men born of the sperm of man have sinned.  Sin is defined as the transgression of the law.   Jesus was tempted in every way humanly possible but he did not sin.  Could he have sinned?  Yes, most definitely, but he did not.…[Read more]

Quote (kerwin @ May 22 2010,16:04)Adam,I am not going to debate with you whether the second letter of Peter is a forgery or not because it is irrelevant to the issue we are discussing.  I will point out that what I quoted from it is true and that is some scripture is hard to understand and ignorant and corrupt people misinterpret it to their own…[Read more]

Infact I also have doubts about Jesus' sinlessness. Paul says in Rom 8:3 “For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the sinful nature, God did by sending…[Read more]

Quote (kerwin @ May 22 2010,17:29)SimplyForgiven,As I stated I do not believe there is must difference between what we have concluded from studying scripture.  I see that Terraricca covered some of the issues you brought up and so I am going to concentrate on the scriptures that speak of Pharaoh’s heart being hardened.In Exodus 4:21 God tells Mo…[Read more]

Quote (kerwin @ May 22 2010,15:38)Adam,You are correct that the letters and in fact the whole New Testament was written to those who not only believed that Jesus is the Anointed One of God but who also knew the background teachings that are not included in those writings.   We on the other hand are unfortunate in that we often have to scrounge in…[Read more]

Do you know all Epistles are written to Believers but not for unbelievers. When John or Paul who ever talks about confession of sins do you think there are for unbelievers no they are for believers who commited sin. Here I want to say that a believer can commit sin and confess to God for forgiveness. We should be honest and practicable as John…[Read more]

You know brother Kerwin the warning of Peter you quoted itself is from a forged letter written by allegedly using Peter's name. That was the letter written many years after Peter's death and even it was the last book written in the N.T as per many Biblical scholars. So what genuity you can find in such book to quote Paul. I can't accept your logic…[Read more]
