God still talks to anyone who will listen. He loves everyone of every race, nationality, religion... In fact, Revelation 14:6 says that just before Jesus comes an angel (messenger) flies in the midst of heaven with the everlasting gospel (good news) to preach to every nation, tribe, language, and people. That doesn't leave ANYONE out!\n\nNow, to your question about the Jewish nation and the tapestry...\n\nGod had chosen the Jews to be His special people, and they were to be a representation to the world of His character. They didn't exactly fill His desires for them throughout the ages. In fact, tthey came to be quite an embarrasement, yet He still loved them. While they were in captivity in Babylon, God gave the prophet Daniel a vision telling him what would happen with the Jewish people.\n\nDaniel 9:24 says that there would be 70 weeks determined (the Greek word means "cut off") for the Jewish people. Verse 25 gives the start date for this time period - the command to restore and rebuild Jerusalem. There were 3 commands given saying the Jews could go back to Jerusalem (you can read about these in the book of Ezra), but only one authorized the rebuilding of the city, and that was given in 457 BC. \n\nVerse 25 says that from that command to restore and build Jerusalem unto Messiah ("Anointed One") the Prince would be 69 weeks, and then verse 26 says that in the middle of that 70th week, the Messiah would be "cut off" and put an end to the sacrifice and oblation.\n\nBefore going any farther, read Numbers 14:34 and Ezekiel 4:6, where you see that in prophecy a day equals a year. So, these weeks that we are talking about can be multiplied by seven to give us the days, and then those days are actually years. So, 70 weeks would equal 490 years (70 x 7). And the 69 weeks equal 483 years.\n\nSure enough, if you go to that start date of 457 BC when the command was given to rebuild Jerusalem and go forward 483 years, you land on 27 AD, the exact year that Jesus was baptized and anointed by the Holy Spirit for His ministry. Then, it says that in the middle of that next week Jesus would be "cut off", or killed, but not for Himself. If a week equals 7 years, then the middle of that week would be 3 1/2 years. Sure enough, exactly 3 1/2 years after his fall baptism in 27 AD, Jesus was crucified in the spring of 31 AD. \n\nThis is where the TAPESTRY comes in. At Jesus' death, the curtain, a 4" tapestry, that divided the rooms in the sanctuary was torn top to bottom (Mark 15:37,38). This made it clear to everyone that the sanctuary services pointing forward to the Messiah were no longer necessary, as Jesus had just died and fulfilled every service that happened there. He was the Lamb killed for the sins of the world, and there was no longer a need for sacrifices.\n\nHowever, the Jewish nation as a whole didn't accept that Jesus was the Messiah. Individuals believed on Him, but the leadership rejected Him. 3 1/2 years after Jesus' death, Stephen was preaching to the Jewish leaders about Jesus, and they took him and stoned him to death, making him the first Christian martyr. This happened in 34 AD, exactly 70 weeks, or 490 years, after the command to rebuild Jerusalem. Those 70 weeks given to the Jewish nation to accept Jesus and be God's chosen people had run out, and from that time on the gospel was preached to the Gentile world.\n\nToday, anyone who accepts Jesus becomes a part of spiritual Israel. Paul says that if we are Christs, then we are Abraham's seed (Galatians 3:29). That means Jews as well as us.

Jesus is the one true God. Some people think that he was just a prophet from God, but he actually died for our sins. I mean the Jews rejected him, but what he went through at the cross, no one would have survived a part of what he went through. I am a struggling christian I admitt it, I am, because I am just not use to all the things that we r suppose to obey. But I am learning slowly. Hey but at least I am still learning more and more about God that I thought I understood before. The Bible is all the proof you need. I would sudgest to get a New King James Version to help you understand the words a little. I even have trouble understanding it. Hey I'm 15 I can have an escuse to have a little trouble. ~LOL~ Also look at Probvers, Acts, and Revlations. They will tell you of how he died for you, what is coming for us in the rapture, and how we should act as christians. I hope you take of what I said into concideration.

http://www.jewsforjesus.org/\nHere is a website that may answer your questions.\n\nBut I am Jewish and the term Jews for Jesus is a contradiction in terms,,,,,,Jews don't believe that Jesus is the savior, just that he is a man who is Jewish.  We call them Christians.

Did Jesus give up Saturday for us?\nJesus? Christianity? .\n\nYour opinions only, no parroting or C&P from a Bible.\n\n\nIf Jesus died, he could NOT have been God.\nGods do not die? Do they?\n\nIf Jesus 'died' on Friday and 'undied' on Sunday, what else besides Saturday was sacrificed? \n\nIf Jesus died for our sins, he should be dead,dead, dead!

It is quite obvious that most of the people that replied to this really don't know what Messianic Judiasm is.  A person who practices Judiasm is someone who does not believe that Christ is the Messiah.  Jewish people recognize that Christ existed but like I said don't believe that he is the Messiah/Savior.  They are in fact still waiting for their Messiah.  On the other hand, A Messianc Jew is someone who practices all the same rituals of the Jewish faith BUT they ALSO believe that Christ IS the Messiah.  Bottom line, is that they are Christians who still practice the rituals(laws) of the old testament  but they believe that Christ is in fact their messiah.  Now, having said that, ANYONE can be a Messianic Jew as long as you have both of these elements.  You do NOT have to have been born a Jew.  The openly embrace anyone who has come to this realization.  It requires a great deal of study of the old testament (which they do so lovingly) and they embrace the traditions of Hanukkah.  Christmas is rejected not because they don't believe that Jesus (Jeshua - Hebrew name for Jesus) was the messiah, (because they DO), but because Christmas is really a pagan holiday.  It's a made - up holiday, who's origins really have nothing to do with Christ at all, and because they believe it's totally against God to do anything outside of the bible.  Christmas as we know it is not even mentioned in the bible.  Christmas trees, ornaments and all the fluff and stuff of Christmas they feel is a slap in Christ's face.  They believe that most people who "practice" Christmas don't even THINK about Christ and do it only for the exchange of gifts. And most of us reading this, know that to be exactly the case.  In fact, it's highly doubtful that Christ was even born in December.  Many scholars believe that His birthdate was actually around early September.  In any case, the Messianic faith is a BEAUTIFUL blending of old Jewish traditions/laws from the old testament AND that Jesus (Jeshua) is LORD/SAVIOUR and Messiah.  I know because my brother and his family have practiced this faith for many years.   I am a born again Christian myself and my brother has greatly taught me a lot about the old testatment and the festivals.  It was on his heart to do so as well.   He came to this realization while as a Christian he began studying the old testament at great length and in particular the mosaic laws.  Christian faiths alone don't practice all the festivals because they have interpreted the bible to read that once Christ was given it negated the need to live by the Mosaic law from the old testament.  Messianic jews interpret the bible differently in that the Messiah's coming did NOT mean that you didn't need to still continue the laws and practices from the old testament.  If it's in your heart to follow these laws/practices, then do so.  G-d in fact may be tugging at your heart to do so.  My brother found great joy in this, lived it every day of his converted life and praised the saving grace of Jesus (Jeshua) to anyone that would listen.  Continue to study on your own and the Lord will lead you to exactly where He wants you to go.

"I asked what if Jesus wasn't the only Messiah"\nYou're a bit confused, aren't you ... ... I see a messiah-related question from you, linked to whether there was a fifth Judas gospel. How can you expect an open answer to that question.\n\nAnd the Jews don't think Abraham is/was the Messiah.\n\nNot only don't you know what you're asking, you obviously don't know what you're talking about either ...\n\n... and this from the man who asked "Why did yahoo censor my reply to "how many differant sorts of rape"? Good to see you're a well-balanced individual.\n\nHonestly - what is the point of you?

I left Christianity for Judaism because I could not accept their belief that Jesus was G-d.  G-d is G-d, not a trinity.  This was the main of several reasons.  Plus, I found a love for the Jewish people and their history and relationship with G-d.

The Jews of Jesus' Time were looking for a Deliverer King, who would drive Israel's enemy's out of Israel. Jesus came as a Suffering Servant, to show them what being God's Chosen really meant.\n\nGod's intention with Israel was for them to be a Light to the Gentile Nations, representing Him to the World. Unfortunately they failed in this. With Christ's,(Messiah's), coming the door to the Gentiles was opened.\n\nThe Church is ,"The Wild Olive Branch grafted into The Cultivated Olive Tree..." We have not replaced Israel, but we are Spiritually Israel. Israel remains The Root of Christianity.\n\nWhy did the Jews miss all the Old Testament Prophecies ? Their Leaders did not ! They KNEW who Jesus was, and rejected Him for the above reason. I have not personally counted, but I have read that there are over 700 Messianic Prophecies in The Old Testament.\n\nTrust me. The Day is coming when Israel will recognize who their Messiah is, and turn to Him ! They will weep for Him as one weeps for one of their own children.  Israel will be Saved.

If praise was worth bribary then it would be infantile, but of course the 6+ million jews prayed for freedom, just like they have at many other points during their history and after a certain point, ya they got it. Gods will and purpose is hard for humans to comprehend, he wants us to love him regardless and praise him regardless. Kinda like how I want compliments even on days that I probably dont deserve them. Make any sense?

The answer to your question is a resounding, yes, and He still does.  He is NOT dead.  He is Resurrected from the dead.  No other human that has ever existed throughout all history can claim this act.  This is what differentiates Jesus as the True Messiah, as truly Divine, while all others are fakes, imposters and mere men.  \n\nAlso, since He now exists, you have the privilege to call upon His Name, and He will audibly answer you.  If you desire in your heart an actual relationship with Christ, He says, "Knock and I will answer," for he is the Door.\n\nIt amazes me how people today are so skeptical and jaded that they are actually preventing themselves from acquiring "wholeness" in Christ.  That was the whole purpose behind His Redemptive Deed upon the Cross, to reconcile us (our fallen sin nature) back to the Father.  He is our Salvation.  His resurrection created a Door through which we may re-attain in us what was lost by the Great Primordial Fall when we became divorced from God (the Great Divorce).  The process of accepting Christ Yeshua (Jesus) as your personal Savior is a “Rebirth” where you are spiritually “rewired” and “reconnected” back to the Godhead of Father, Son and Holy Spirit through Christ’s ultimate act of Love, the giving up of His mortal life for your sins.\n\nFollowing is the proof of Christ’s existence and divinity:\n\nWhy believe in Christianity over all other religions? \n\n         Critics often ask why Christianity is any better than any other religion in the world.  After all, of all the religions that exist how can it be that only Christianity is true?  If God exists, why can't God use different religions?  Don't all paths lead to God? These kinds of questions are asked all the time of Christians and unfortunately the answers aren't always very good ones particularly when dealing with people who have a relativistic truth base and don't believe in absolutes.\n     Therefore, in an attempt to demonstrate why Christianity is true and all other religious systems are false, I've prepared the following list of reasons for Christianity's superiority.    \nThere are such things as absolute truths \n     If truth is relative, then the statement that truth is relative is an absolute truth and would be self defeating statement by proving that truth is not relative.  But, if truth is absolute, then the statement "truth is absolute" is true and not self defeating.  It is true that truth exists.  It is true that truth will not contradict itself as we have just seen.  In fact, it is absolutely true that you are reading this paper.\n     If we can see that there is such a thing as truth in the world, then we could also see that there can be spiritual truth as well.  It is not absurd to believe in spiritual absolutes anymore than physical or logical absolutes.  Even the statement that all religions lead to God is a statement held to be a spiritual absolute by many people.  This simply demonstrates that people do believe in spiritual truth.  Why?  Because truth exists.  However, not all that is believed to be true actually is true.  Therefore, all belief systems cannot be true since they often contradict each other in profound ways. \nReligions contradict each other; therefore, they cannot all be true. \n     Mormonism teaches that there are many gods in existence and that you can become a god.  Christianity teaches that there is only one God and you cannot become a god.  Islam teaches that Jesus is not God in flesh where Christianity does.  Jesus cannot be both God and not God at the same time.  Some religions teach that we reincarnate while others do not.  Some teach there is a hell and others do not. They cannot all be true.  If they cannot all be true, it cannot be true that all religions lead to God.  Furthermore, it means that some religions are, at the very least, false in their claims to reveal the true God (or gods).  Remember, truth does

Although Arabs, Jews and other Semitic people of the middle east are closely related, Jesus was not a Jew, either ethnically or linguistically. Jesus would have been much akin to a Sephardic Jew of today.\n\nAnd yes, I believe Jesus would find much to object in our governments and behaviours of today. One need only read the red letter sections of the Bible to see he really is at odds with the politicians we vote for, as well as the way we conduct ourselves.\n\nRepentence and humility should be our response. What else can we do?

'fly your fla...' was almost right, the Koran does say that Jesus was only a Prophet, and not the Son of God, it also says that Mohammad was a Prophet, not that Mohammed was God!\nApart from that I agree it is a load of cr**!\nAs to your question, if Jesus is "still alive" why does he need to return, where has he been if he is still alive?\nWho took his place on the cross? I really don't know and it's not as if Crucifixion was anything unusual in those times, hundreds of people (not only followers of Christ) were crucified daily, for all sorts of crimes, people were crucified and set alight to illuminate the Roman arenas at night, it was really no big deal. (unless you were the one being lit up!!  \nI can understand your interest, it's all a great story, but don't get carried away, it is actually only a story!!

The Jewish leaders didn't care.What they wanted was for Jesus to break the Mosaic Law by not condemning her,so they could accuse Him of blasphemy,and excommunicate or even kill Him.But of course it's not possible to out fox God the Son.He was going to give His life when He was ready,and not before.He said "I have the power to lie down my life and the power to take it back up,no one takes it from me."

we know jesus existed because the romans wrote the history of that time. they were the dominant power and were not fans of jesus or the jews, or any other sub-group of that era. you'll recall that they were the ones who actually crucified him at the jews request. also they persecuted the jews and other religious minorities after the death of christ. rome would be a pagan government for quite some time after the death of christ. your concern is over whether or not jesus was a divine being. did he do the things that are written? was he who he claimed to be? not did he exist. the victors of that period wrote their historys and acknowledged jesus.
