The Criteria for being the Messiah, Judge for yourself:\n\nFirst of all, he must be Jewish - "...you may appoint a king over you, whom the L-rd your G-d shall choose: one from among your brethren shall you set as king over you." (Deuteronomy 17:15)\n\nHe must be a member of the tribe of Judah - "The staff shall not depart from Judah, nor the sceptre from between his feet..." (Genesis 49:10)\n\nTo be a member of the tribe of Judah, the person must have a biological father who is a member of the tribe of Judah.\n\nHe must be a direct male descendant of King David and King Solomon, his son - "And when your days (David) are fulfilled, and you shall sleep with your fathers, I will set up your seed after you, who shall issue from your bowels, and I will establish his kingdom. He shall build a house for my name, and I will make firm the throne of his kingdom forever..." (2 Samuel 7:12 - 13)\n\nThe genealogy of the New Testament is inconsistent. While it gives two accounts of the genealogy of Joseph, it states clearly that he is not the biological father of Jesus. One of the genealogies is through Nathan and not Solomon altogether!\n\nHe must gather the Jewish people from exile and return them to Israel -"And he shall set up a banner for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth." (Isaiah 11:12)\n\nAre all Jews living in Israel? Have all Jews EVER lived in Israel since the time of Jesus?\n\nHe must rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem - "...and I will set my sanctuary in their midst forever and my tabernacle shall be with them.." (Ezekiel 37:26 - 27)\n\nAt last check, there is NO Temple in Jerusalem. And worse, it was shortly after Jesus died that the Temple was DESTROYED! Just the opposite of this prophecy!\n\nHe will rule at a time of world-wide peace - "...they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore." (Micah 4:3)askyourself...\n\nHave you seen a newspaper lately? Are we living in a state of complete world peace? Has there ever been peace since the time of Jesus?\n\n\n\nHe will rule at a time when the Jewish people will observe G-d's commandments - "My servant David shall be king over them; and they shall all have one shepherd. They shall follow My ordinances and be careful to observe My statutes." (Ezekiel 37:24)\n\nThe Torah is the Jewish guide to life, and its commandments are the ones referred to here. Do all Jews observe all the commandments? Christianity, in fact, often discourages observance of the commandments in Torah, in complete opposition to this prophecy.\n\nHe will rule at a time when all people will come to acknowledge and serve one G-d - "And it shall come to pass that from one new moon to another and from one Sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before Me, says the L-rd" (Isaiah 66:23)\n\nthere are still millions if not billions of people in the world today who adhere to paganistic and polytheistic religions. It is clear that we have not yet seen this period of human history unfold.\n\nAll of these criteria are best stated in the book of Ezekiel Chapter 37 verses 24-28:\n\nAnd David my servant shall be king over them; and they shall all have one shepherd. they shall also follow My judgments and observe My statutes, and do them. And they shall dwell in the land that I have given to Yaakov my servant, in which your fathers have dwelt and they shall dwell there, they and their children, and their children's children forever; and my servant David shall be their prince forever. Moreover, I will make a covenant of peace with them, it shall be an everlasting covenant with them, which I will give them; and I will multiply them and I will set my sanctuary in the midst of them forevermore. And my tabernacle shall be wi

first of all God, Jesus, and The Holy Spirit are three persons in one and he had to go around showing his hands off because people woould not beleive him. like many people are today. Some people think they know everything but they actually do not b/c they do not read and study the Bible.

Amazing how so many people actually believe there is evidence supporting the Jesus myths.\n\nThe only evidence anyone has that a person named Jesus of Nazareth existed is the bible itself. The primary reason people believe it to be true is because the Roman Empire executed anyone who refused to accept it as true.\n\n"Christianity"  is the biggest fraud in the history of mankind.

Because the human mind cannot comprehend God.\n\nBecause one needs faith in order to be able to really learn from the Bible.\n\nBecause many people are deceived and fall for the alternatives of easy, cheap Grace.

Your confusing things.  People who don't believe in Christianity don't 'hate' Jesus.  The problem is the FOLLOWERS of him.  Those to degrade, talk down to, push their religion, tell people they are wrong, going to hell, judging, etc. those that don't believe Christianity.

That is a good question. Why do those who do not believe that God is real, even bother arguing? Maybe because they know deep down He IS real- yet they are trying so hard to find a reason why He isn't and it makes them feel better about themselves when they argue He is not. I don't know- but that is my guess.\n\nI am glad HE IS REAL! And I am glad that I have no doubt. My Savior Jesus Christ is FOREVER! Amen!

No, i do not think that people will believe in Jesus neither on nor after the day of the rapture. I believe that they would rather believe that there is an extraterrestrial force that caused millions of people to "disappear" and they will, of course, search for a solution. It's human nature to find an excuse for something we cannot explain or do not believe in.

Jesus was only a human being he is a holy creatures he is a God's messenger .\n\nThis belief is a big mistake for christians.

Yes, Jesus is Lord...\n\nI know God is so disappointed with all of us but yet His love endure forever.\n\nI don't know why people reject Jesus maybe because of doubt or lack of understanding.\nMaybe they just don't want to change their ways..\n\nYou have to open up your heart to Him not your mind.

You cant see God therefore not many people believe in him. It is hard to believe a supernatural being made all of us.

Some people will tell you they believe in God mainly because it has been drilled into their head from childhood-- many parents have used fear to make their children afraid not to believe. (i.e. If you don't believe this you we be torchered in hell for eternity.) \n\nOn the other hand, many defiant people grow up to hate the dogma of religion. mainly because they have been turned off by all of the "threats of damnation" by their parents or other influencial people in their lives. \n\nNeither of these reasons are good reason to believe in or not believe in a Higher power (God).\n\nIn reality, believeing in God is a Gut thing. For me it is logical and feels right that is why I believe. I am a christian not because of my upbringing but because I believe in the logical thinking of Christ. Christ was a thinker that didn't allow dogma to overide common sense. Here is a good example of common sense from Luke:\n"1 On a Sabbath day, Jesus went to dine at the house of a leader of the Pharisees. So they were watching him. 2 Now there was a man in front of him who had the dropsy. 3 Jesus asked the lawyers and the Pharisees: "Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath day or not?" 4 But they made no answer. So he took him, healed him, and let him go.\n     5 Then he said to them: "If your donkey or your ox falls into a ditch on a Sabbath day, anyone of you would pull him out immediately." 6 They were unable to answer him."\n\nFollow your heart, follow your gut, follow logic and you will find God.\n\n--My 2 cents....

Because most of them sincerely believe it to be credible evidence. And, are likewise perplexed when someone refuses to accept it as evidence.\n\nFaith cannot be debated or discussed using logic. Those whose beliefs are based on faith will not be swayed by logical arguments, and those whose beliefs are not based on faith will not be swayed by arguments that rely on faith.\n\nSo, we all ending up arguing/debating about issues that will never be settled. Primarily because we are arguing about apples and oranges (two different philosophies).\n\n\nAdditional comment:\n\nWIth all due respect to those who claim the bible is supported by evidence, it is not.\n\nThere is no credible evidence that supports any of the bible stories, including the Jesus myths. If there was, there would be no debate on the issue.

Because that's what the Bible says so Jesus worshippers have to believe it even if the evidence says otherwise.  They call it faith.

I cannot prove it to be false because I have had a personal experience with the Lord Jesus Christ (see my question: "Have I met Jesus?" to read my testimony). I could not deny His existence as a result. \n\nSome people will say they have a "blind faith" which I also believe but Jesus is not afraid for us to want evidence - in fact He tells us to "Test all things; hold fast what is good" (1 Thessalonians 5:21). He also tells us to: "Prove all things…" (1 Thessalonians 5:21, KJV).  Believers and non believers are simply doing what Jesus tells us!  Christians should never be disgruntled when someone asks us to if prove God or Jesus does or does not exist!  \n\nSee also: http://www.tomorrowsworld.org/cgi-bin/tw/tw-mag.cgi?category=Magazine36&item=1115662606 for 7 further proofs if you wish.

I think it's because people in general have a very hard time believing in something that they can't touch, see, smell.  It's really hard for some people to just accept and have faith in something.
