nicknotes,
If you don't believe Christ was the Messiah and you can't reconcile the restitution of all things and all the prophecies about the Day of the Lord and the physical kingdom being restored so the jews would be at the head of the nations in the last day according to Isaiah 2:2-4; 9:6-7; 66:7-9 and Revelation 1:7 being the jewish nation who were the ones who pierced him and you are a real jew who should know better then yes I can deduce the fact that you probably were looking for a conquering redeemer or warrior or whatever. One thing is for sure those jews were not looking for a suffering savior because they wanted to kill the Romans. They were not being repentant.
Now if you don't understand scripture about the KOH and the KOG then you may have a different reason for believing and I would be glad to hear it. As far as what is going on in your mind I may need to read a few more posts. Jerry Kelso

nicknotes,

1. Now we get more to the crux of why you don't believe Christ was the Messiah.
The answer you are giving is that he didn't settle the kingdom and he didn't establish the new covenant.

2. I told you Jesus didn't do these things because Israel rejected him as a nation Matthew 23:37-39.
He also had to die for the whole world and the church was also predestined as well.

3. The covenants of Abraham and David are still for Israel when they repent as a nation and Christ is the Messiah that will come back with his saints at the battle of Armageddon to restore the KOH and the nation of Israel who will have David as their King.

4. So in your blindness you were looking for a conquering Messiah but didn't get one and so you believe Jesus wasn't it. So in a round about way I knew what you were thinking.

5. Paul said the jews would be blinded till the fulness of the gentiles be come in in Romans 11:25.
2 Corinthians 3:13 he said the law was abolished and goes on to say that Moses had a veil over his head because Israel couldn't stand to see the passing away of the Mosaic law and they are still stuck in the old testament and blinded from the truth.
One day the veil will be lifted and they shall look on him whom they had pierced and they will be saved and the KOH will be restored.

6. If you think Christ wasn't the Messiah you are blinded and have tunnel vision because he was the Savior of the world and most jews don't believe it because he didn't settle the KOH which shows they had there mind more on conquering and not repenting and then conquering. This is also why many jews are atheists.

7. Are you a real ethnic jew or an orthodox jew or just like to be called a messianic?

8. For goodness sake, the begotten Son of God is the Savior of the world and he is coming back in power and great glory to establish the Messianic Kingdom and then after 1000 years give the kingdom back to God the father so God can be all in all and you can't understand that Jesus in his earthly ministry is the same Messiah as in the future when he comes to restore all things? Read your bible and step into the truth. Jerry kelso

Why are you always interested in me and not in my theological presentations?
I am irrelevant to this discussion. Focus on the Scriptural messages i have posted.
Frankly it matters. You are posting in a Christian only forum.

That doesn't answer the points I made.

Saul was a Pharisee who hated Jesus and persecuted his followers. He went to Damascus with the intention of getting all these followers arrested. Something happened before he got there ad he ended up joining them and preaching Jesus as the Messiah. He himself later suffered persecution and arrest for this belief.
I asked you, since you don't seem to accept his conversion; what happened to him? What made him start a journey as a Jesus hater, determined to arrest anyone who called him the Messiah, and end it as someone who preached that Jesus was indeed the Messiah?

And you've come up with some excuse that he wanted money??
That doesn't even make sense. He could have stolen from the apostles while they were in prison; that doesn't explain his complete and permanent change of heart.

My understanding is that a Messianic is a Jew who has come to accept and trust in Jesus as the Messiah; forgive me if I am wrong.
You call yourself a Messianic but you aren't, as you have stated that Jesus was not the Messiah. Reading other posts, it seems you don't believe that Jesus was God either.

So you are posting in a section of the forum which is for Christians only; those who accept the full deity of Christ, which you don't, and under the title of Messianic, which you clearly aren't - by your own admission.

You say that you can't believe Paul because he is a liar. I accept that you may have not read forum rules and made 2 simple mistakes, and not intended to write deliberate lies; but isn't it rather ironic that someone who accuses Paul of lying has himself been economical with the truth?
