Up the down staircase, then down the up staircase; Poor Alice is bewildered.

You’ve been away for a while. You’re discussing that which by Board policy is forbidden to be discussed. You’re flirting with having your thread closed, possibly even deleted. This is just a friendly reminder.

Here’s a problem: the topic is banned.

Welcome back. I’ve had you on my mind lately. It’s good to read you again. Another poem, words spoken from the abundance of your heart. My true self is found in the Messiah. I don’t doubt it in the least. Could I ever doubt it? Maybe. I’ve witnessed it happen to others. That is one reason...

Knowing what you do about what the prophesies say the coming Messiah will do, that‘s an extremely short amount of time for him to accomplish it all. When the Messiah you’re looking for appears, it won’t take thousands of years for you (or anyone else) to know that it really is him. Everyone...

Thank you. *** @PanInVietnam are you able to see that Eliyahu is pitting his Jewish perspective against the New Testament’s Jewish perspective? From thread to thread and forum to forum, it’s the continuation of the 1st century struggle which took place within Judaism; one sect Judaism against...

Excellent. I call upon this passage of scripture frequently in my conversations with Christians and with non-Christians. As you know, not all Jews believe that. Again, as you know, not all Jews believe that.

I would like for that to change. @Johann could help us with that.

That assertion would be a major difference between Jews and Christians. THE Messiah isn’t the main in Judaism; just a side point. It’s important for our readers (I especially have in mind someone like @PanInVietnam in mind) need to understand that this is your position in the historic, 1st...

That’s a clear, concise and unequivocal stating of you belief. Thank you. Are you able to acknowledge the existence of Jewish rabbis - past and present - who say that Daniel contains prophecies about THE Messiah, including Chapter 9?

Would you say, unequivocally, that neither is THE Messiah that you are waiting for? Could you say that one of them is, or might possibly be, THE final Messiah that you are waiting for?

In terms of years, what is “quite fast”? A time period when the Messiah is present, active, but not yet recognized. The fulfillment of the prophecies about him unfold over time. It shouldn’t be, but as time passes - days, weeks, months, years - and not all of the prophecies about him have...

So there is, in your expectation, a passage of some extended length of time. It may take the man, a human person, a Jew, an unspecified number of years to fulfill the Messianic prophecies. What do you do during these years, as you observe him to confirm that he really is the Messiah?

The Messiah shows up this afternoon: How long do you think it will take for him to fulfill the prophecies? Are you thinking instantly? Seconds? Minutes? Hours? Days? Weeks? Months? Years?

As of the date of this post, 60% of the respondents to the poll say that they have “no idea“ whether or not Chinese people are descendants of one of the sons of Noah. What are we to make of that? My take on it is that the 60% either haven’t read the Bible or, having read the Bible, either don’t...
