Let me put it this way. You preach to me, or anyone I know, and I will come to your house, and when you open the door, slam it in your face. We don't preach conversion, you could at least have the common courtesy not to do it to us.

You a Mormon? They are the only people I know of (Christian wise) who still try to convert people. As for preaching in Jerusalem only about a quarter are Jewish (the rest are muslim or Orthodox Christians) so have fun, but keep in mind that the ones who are intollerant to the threats to their beliefs are usually well armed in that part of the world.

You aren't following that advice yourself... you want to go to the organised centre of another faith, and tell them that their god is bullshit...

I wonder how you would respond to an assembly of Jews entering your church (assuming you aren't just a total troll, and that you really DO attend a church), and preaching about why YOUR 'god' is lies?

Also - they'll take you apart in debate... if you honestly have such a weak understanding of Hebrew scripture, that you think 'they are waiting for Messiah', or that 'Jesus' could have been 'Messiah'...

You don't seem to realize, it seems, that they already have a religion that speaks of life, love, ect. In fact, if I am not wrong (I may be, religion is not my strong point),theirs was the 'old testament'. There are some things in it that are very outdated, but all in all it's not too much different from contemporary christianity.

Becuase, even though since we don't believe in forcing people to convert and we're all going to hell for not being christian or doing some tiny thing wrong (apparenley I'm going to the sixth level of hell) we are still humans and tend to not won't people to get hurt for making complete morons of themselves.

Seventh level for me, possibly close to the mouth of that four faced great lord himself, aye? No, not from causing harm to others, not for any actual 'sins', no coveting, no lieing, no cheating, quite the opposite in fact... but because I am not religious while going about doing good, kind things, I am going to hell.

Hey! ffc2 if you really are set on this you have a long way to go, try learning patience, knowing your arguments inside out, not getting wound up easily and having a thick skin!

'Love is patient, Love is kind,
It does not envy, it does not boast,
It is not proud, It is not rude,
It is not self-seeking,
It is not easily angered,
It keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil,
but rejoices with the truth.
Love always protects, always trusts,
always hopes, always perseveres.
Love bears all things, believes all things,
hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never ends.
Love Never Fails.'

Corinthians 13 : 4 - 8

Btw.. Jeruselam? If your Christian.. I heard there's a number of great booming churches there already.

Maybe you'd be more effective doing volunteer work in an underdeveloped country in Africa or Southeast Asia. You'll run into more people there who haven't heard your message, and you could actually help them in a tangible way at the same time by doing relief work, housing construction, and that sort of thing.

They might not have the best internet access, but you'd really be improving lives. I don't go myself because I don't know The Truth or The Way, and I'd hate to impose my pagan teachings on them. You seem quite qualified to superimpose your belief system on them, and quite willing. When you meet these people who have only known suffering, pain, hunger, and poverty, be sure to tell them you understand The Meaning of Life better than they do. Bring sandwiches, and I'm sure they'll pay very close attention while you speak.

Well, I guess I'm reeling on the ropes now, huh?

You might want to put a little more thought into that, my friend.

You claim that you and Israel have the same god... and yet you believe in two more 'gods' than Israel accepts, in the form of the Trinity. (Assuming you really are the 'christian' you claim to be, of course).

I wonder if the word 'shekinah' even means anything to you? I wonder how you would rationalise it in your 'trinity' view of god?

And, let's not even get started on how you are going to try to explain 'Jesus'... there are so many reasons why Jesus is NOT the Messiah of Old Testament prophecy, that it's not even funny.

You might want to hone your arguments a little, before you start seriously contemplating mission work.

(Like, explaining how Jesus can be Messiah... when Jeremiah 22:30 and Jeremiah 36:30 expressly forbid it...).

Grave_n_idle
16-07-2005, 13:06
I was curious as to the Bible passages. I don't own a Bible, but I'd like to see exactly what you meant.

Always happy to oblige...

First, let's look at Joseph's lineage, as dictated in the book of Matthew:

"And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon: And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel; and Salathiel begat Zorobabel..."

Notice that this part of the lineage is drawn through Jechonias (Jeconiah), and mentions, by name, Jeconiah's line (Salathiel... and then, Zorobabel).


Second, let us briefly examine the 'other' lineage (the one often claimed to be Mary's lineage instead - since the two do not agree):

"Which was the son of Joanna, which was the son of Rhesa, which was the son of Zorobabel, which was the son of Salathiel, which was the son of Neri..."

Notice that we are again seeing Salathiel and Zorobabel.


Third, one of the alleged requirements for Messiah, is that he will sit upon the Throne of David:

"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this...


Which brings me to the first of the problems... the fact that Jesus wouldn't be able to sit on David's throne... because:

"Thus saith the LORD, Write ye this man childless, a man that shall not prosper in his days: for no man of his seed shall prosper, sitting upon the throne of David, and ruling any more in Judah..."

and:

"Therefore thus saith the LORD of Jehoiakim king of Judah; He shall have none to sit upon the throne of David: and his dead body shall be cast out in the day to the heat, and in the night to the frost..."

The 'line' of David THROUGH Jeconiah, is cursed - such that NONE of Jeconiah's seed may EVER sit upon the Throne of David.

Thus - The Matthew lineage forbids Jesus from being Messiah, because he is directly descended from Jeconiah.

And - just in case it is ever argued that the Luke lineage should be followed instead:

"I will be his father, and he shall be my son. If he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men..."

And:

[QUOTE=First Chronicles 17:11-14]"And it shall come to pass, when thy days be expired that thou must go to be with thy fathers, that I will raise up thy seed after thee, which shall be of thy sons; and I will establish his kingdom. He shall build me an house, and I will stablish his throne for ever. I will be his father, and he shall be my son: and I will not take my mercy away from him, as I took it from him that was before thee: But I will settle him in mine house and in my kingdom for ever: and his throne shall be established for evermore..."

Messiah is to come from the line of Solomon.

Contrast this with the Luke lineage (as I said, often argued to be Mary's lineage) - and you find that THIS lineage is directly blocked on a second front:

"Which was the son of Melea, which was the son of Menan, which was the son of Mattatha, which was the son of Nathan, which was the son of David.."

Clearly, the Luke lineage follows through Nathan, not Solomon - so no child of THIS lineage could ever be Messiah... even without the Jeconiah issue.
