“He will come up like a twig before [an observer], and like a root out of waterless land. No stately form does he have, nor any splendor; and when we shall see him, there is not the appearance so that we should desire him.” (Isaiah 53:2)\n Here we see the backdrop against which the Messiah is to enter the earthly scene. He is to have a lowly start, and to observers he will appear unlikely to amount to anything. Moreover, he is to be like a mere twig, a tender sapling, that grows on the trunk or branch of a tree. He is also to be like a water-dependent root in dry, unpromising soil. And he is not to come with regal pomp and splendor—no robes of royalty nor any sparkling diadems. Instead, his start is to be humble and unpretentious.\n\n How well that describes Jesus’ lowly beginning as a human! \n\n“He was despised and was avoided by men, a man meant for pains and for having acquaintance with sickness. And there was as if the concealing of one’s face from us. He was despised, and we held him as of no account.” (Isaiah 53:3)\n Certain that his words will come true, Isaiah writes in the past tense, as if they had already been fulfilled. Was Jesus Christ really despised and avoided by men? Indeed, he was! Self-righteous religious leaders and their followers viewed him as the vilest of humans. They called him a friend of tax collectors and harlots. (Luke 7:34, 37-39) They spit in his face. They hit him with their fists and reviled him. They sneered and jeered at him. (Matthew 26:67) Influenced by these enemies of truth, Jesus’ “own people did not take him in.”

Ya mean exactly what he looks like? Basically it just says stuff like we were created in his image... in fact, half the Bible's just a metaphor, so we dunno if we can trust it. Yeah, but we were created in his image and stuff. Soooo... he looks like a regular human being, except not so regular.

YES!!! Finally someone that agrees with me!\n\nALso note in Hebrews how Paul keep changing his "VISION OF CHRIST" story! 3 TIMES!\nIf Jesus appered to me in a vision, I DEFNITLY remember.\n\nALSO note his obsession which finding salvation through the "BLOOD OF CHRIST". Why is he so interested in SACRIFICE?\n\nOh and Jesus said become as children (humble, trusting, submitting to the Lord) in order to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. (See Matthew 18:3.) There is no mention here of Him (christ) dying and ressurecting as basis for salvation.\n\nIf i am not mistaken he also say that "THE BLOOD/SACRIFICE of Jesus smelt good to GOD!\n\nPaul liked to profess that he is a Jew yet he INSULTED Jews at every hook and turn!\n\nThe dude had issues!!!

Proof that our "friend" is a hypocrite and a mental case, see above.\n\nI ask myself every time I read the Bible, what does this mean FOR me.

In an odd way, sweet_shy is right.  Sure, there are translation errors and parts of it may have been added or deleted, but it's still God's work.  It was divinely inspired; the only part that really matters is the message, and do you really think that he would let his message be corrupted?  The rest is just fluff to make it readable.  Now having read the New Testament, I find that what I read is entirely in line with my knowledge of God.  I think the message comes through just fine and there are no errors in it despite whatever stages the actual text has gone through.

what chapter in 2nd kings i see you have verses 23-25 but i need the chapter\n\nhttp://etext.virginia.edu/toc/modeng/public/Rsv2Kgs.html

In Rev. 13:18, it says, "This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man's number. His number is 666." That's the source for it. It also says in v. 16-17 that that mark will be placed on everyone because we will not be able to buy or sell without it. Basically a tracking system. In fact, the entirety of Chapter 13 is about satan and him coming to enslave the world.\n\nAnd why are you embarrassed to talk about it with your Bible teacher?  That's his/her job. If they intimidate you perhaps you need to find a new Bible study group. Just a thought.

dont u think a jesus freak wouldn't care about looks?\n___________\nhey pregowtwins... cause someone doesnt walk with god, it means they're ugly? \nthat's an awfully mean thing for a christian to say!

Is this Jesus now or Jesus when he was in a human body.I think Jesus could handle his liquor better.(this is pure speculation at my part)You always heard of Jesus drinking wine in the bible and I never heard of moses drinking wine  (I claim to be no bible scholar, thus I could be wrong. There is too much violence in the bible and the characters are painfully one dimensional for me to get into the book) Nevertheless, at the end of Jesus's career he drank lots of wine and ate lots of fish.Fish having a better amino acid profile than desert weeds which was accessible to Moses.Thus, Jesus was younger and more buff than Moses( and being the son of god can't be a negative)----Jesus wins,  a fair bet in Vegas 5:1

God, we dont know what he looks like.  We cant look upon him.  It is because of our sins.  Jesus on the other hand, we have an idea.  Most pictures that you see of Jesus show him as a tall blonde white man.  Sorry to say this, but the bibble says that Jesus was a middle-eastern ( to be politicaly correct) and the he was actually ugly.  It says that he did not attract people by his looks, but by his love and his teachings.

artistic license.  What Jesus actually looked like is unknown.  He was definately of Middle Eastern decent.  He most likely was unshaven.  He probably had shorter hair (as was the common jewish style at the time) unlike the long haired interpretations.

3)You wrote, "Our difference is in the interpretation of the data." If the 'data' states specifically, "Every man shall be put to death for his own sin,' how do you interpret that statement to allow for Jesus dying for our sins? It seems to me that your interpretation of Isaiah must be incorrect, or that 'every man shall be put to death for his own sin,' does not mean what it says, or Gd changed His mind somewhere between Deut.24:16 and Isaiah 53.....???\n\n1)You say 'no mortal man can atone,' so who actually did the dying on the cross? Gd cant die, so it was Jesus-the-mortal-man, and so all you have is a human sacrifice, which Gd calls an abomination and something He hates, in Deut 12:30-31!\n\nFOR YOUR QUESTION ABOUT ISAIAH 53, see the BEST ANSWER AT:::\n\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/;_ylt=AqACR_rSjfAqZek.PZv_OM0jzKIX?qid=1005123006794\n\nFOR YOUR QUESTION ABOUT LEV. 17:11, see the web sites i refer you to below.\n\n2)And Jesus being your prophet priest and king, i refer you to what i wrote below, all the theology of Christianity still flies in the face of what Gd already revealed to us through his Bible. Even a Jesus/prophet/priest/king still has not brought about those things the real messiah will do!\n----\nThe basic beliefs of Christianity about Jesus are against what the Bible says, and so Real Jews cannot believe in Jesus at all.\n\nThe Christian understanding is that the Messiah, Jesus, died for the sins of the people. The messiah is supposed to be a human sacrifice that is the blood sacrifice necessary for the forgiveness of sin.\n\nBut we are taught in our Torah that no one can die for the sins of another. In Deuteronomy 24:16 it specifically says this:\n\nDeuteronomy 24:16 The fathers shall not \nbe put to death for the children, neither \nshall the children be put to death for\nthe fathers: \nevery man shall be put to death for his \nown sin (eesh b’chet-o yumatu).\n\nIn Exodus 32:30-35, Moses tries to offer himself to atone for the sins of the people. To be written out of Gd's book, means to be written out of the Book of Life, which means Moses was asking to die for the sins of the People. Gd's response is No, it does not work that way, each man dies for his own sin:\n\nExodus 32:30-35 And it came to pass on the \nmorrow, that Moses said unto the people, \nYe have sinned a great sin: and now I will \ngo up unto the Etrnl; perhaps I shall make \nan atonement for your sin. And Moses \nreturned unto the Etrnl, and said, Oh, \nthis people have sinned a great sin, and \nhave made them gods of gold. Yet now, if \nthou wilt forgive their sin--; and if not, \nblot me, I pray thee, out of thy book \nwhich thou hast written. And the Etrnl \nsaid unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned \nagainst me, him will I blot out of my \nbook. \n\nThe whole of chapter 18 of the book of Ezekiel is about this idea, that no one can die for someone else's sin. Further, this chapter of Ezekiel teaches us that all we have to do for Gd's forgiveness is to stop doing the Bad and start doing the Good, and Gd will forgive us:::\n\n             Ezekiel 18:1-4; 20-24; 26-27 .....Behold, all \n             souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so \n             also the soul of the son is mine: the soul \n             that sinneth, it shall die. Eze 18:20 The soul \n             that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not \n             bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall \n             the father bear the iniquity of the son: the \n             righteousness of the righteous shall be upon \n             him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be \n             upon him. But if the wicked will turn from all \n             his sins that he hath committed, and keep all \n             my statutes, and do that which is lawful and \n             right, he shall surely live, he shall not die. \n             All his transgressions that he hath committed, \n             the

he did not fulfill a single one of them.\n\n"According to the Jewish definition of the term, the Real Messiah will make changes in the real world, changes that one can see and perceive and be able to prove because these changes take place in the real world. It is for this task that the real messiah has been anointed in the first place, hence the term, messiah -- one who is anointed. These changes, that one will be able to see and perceive in the real world, include:\n\nThe Messiah is preceded by Elijah the prophet who, with the Messiah, unifies the family (Malachi 4:5-6), which is contradicted by Jesus in Matthew 10:34-37. \nThe Messiah re-establishes the Davidic dynasty through the messiah's own children (Daniel 7:13-14). But Jesus had no children. \nThe Messiah brings an eternal peace between all nations, between all peoples, and between all people (Isaiah 2:2-4; Micah 4:1-4; Ezekiel 39:9). Obviously there is no peace. Furthermore, Jesus said that his purpose in coming was to bring a sword, and not peace (see Matthew 10:34, as referenced above.) \nThe Messiah brings about the universal world-wide conversion of all peoples to Judaism, or at least to Ethical Monotheism (Jeremiah 31:31-34; Zechariah 8:23; Isaiah 11:9; Zechariah 14:9,16). But the world remains steeped in idolatry. \nThe Messiah brings about an end to all forms of idolatry (Zechariah 13:2). But the world remains steeped in idolatry. \nThe Messiah brings about a universal recognition that the Jewish idea of God is God (Isaiah 11:9). But the world remains steeped in idolatry. \nThe Messiah leads the world to become vegetarian (Isaiah 11:6-9). It isn't. \nThe Messiah gathers to Israel, all of the twelve tribes (Ezekiel 36:24). Many of the ten lost tribes remain lost. \nThe Messiah rebuilds The Temple (Isaiah 2:2; Ezekiel 37:26-28). It hasn't been rebuilt. \nThere will be no more famine (Ezekiel 36:29-30). People starve to death every day. \nAfter the Messiah comes, death will eventually cease (Isaiah 25:8). People die every day. \nEventually the dead will be resurrected (Isaiah 26:19; Daniel 12:2; Ezekiel 37:12-13; Isaiah 43:5-6); \nThe nations of the earth will help the Jews, materially (Isaiah 60:5-6; 60:10-12; \nThe Jews will be sought out for spiritual guidance (Zechariah 8:23); \nAll weapons will be destroyed (Ezekiel 39:9,12); \nThe Nile will run dry (Isaiah 11:15) \nMonthly, the trees of Israel will yield their fruit (Ezekiel 47:12); \nEach tribe of Israel will receive and settle their inherited land (Ezekiel 47:13-13); \nThe nations of the earth will recognize that they have been wrong, that the Jews have been right, and that the sins of the Gentile nations, their persecutions and the murders they committed, have been borne by the Jewish people (Isaiah 53)"

In the Old Testament he was reactive.  That's cause the people brought that out in him.  In modern times he is not reactive, but neither is he proactive; he's taken a wait-and-see attitude.  Why do you ask?  Are you an atheist looking for an argument?

Jesus did not have white skin and his hair was not straight and brown. He was middle eastern, a poor carpenter, and an average looking guy. He wasn't glamorous. Back then, the skin color of the middle east was a lot darker. Today, they have mixed blood.

There are certainly numerical correalations apparent in scripture. There are also 12 main commandments - Mosaical 10, plus the 2 that Christ gave. There are 12 numbers including the number 12 that have specific prophetic symbology. I have more on this study but no time to type it here..if you are really interested email me and I'll send what I have. Love in Christ, ~J~  <><

When Jesus was asked this question, he said, "Hear O Israel: The Lord your God is One. Thou shalt love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind." That's a paraphrase, since I don't think I have it memorized by heart. Then Jesus said, "And the second is like it: Love thy neighbor as thyself. All the law hangs on these."\n\nEDIT: Whoops. Actually, Jesus was asked what the "greatest commadment" was, not the "most important".
