    The New Atheists: "Communists aren't atheists" and its wider social implications

    There are lots of different ways of assessing the contribution of atheistic thought to Nazism. For example Nietzsche supplied concepts like the will to power, the masters and the slaves, the uebermensch. Hitlers Table Talk and indeed Mein Kampf have very little to do with Catholicism and are...

    Will the Jewish people ever accept the Messiah?

    2 Peter 1:16-17 16For we did not follow cleverly devised tales when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of His majesty. 17For when He received honor and glory from God the Father, such an utterance as this was made to Him by the Majestic...

    New Hampshire Primary: Sanders and Trump Victories

    These are not the candidates that the establishment of either main party would have chosen. Think it would have been Jeb Bush v Clinton if had gone with the script. Maybe Clinton will bounce back. But from the perspective of a year ago this is a very surprising result. Also Trump and Sanders is...

    Will the Jewish people ever accept the Messiah?

    There have always been false Messiahs and will be till the end. The last of these it is prophesised will rule the world for a season.

    Will the Jewish people ever accept the Messiah?

    That would be a reason for the bitterness in many Jews. Part of the repentance for the maltreatment of a people special to God, preserved by Him and with a future significance was the Christian compassion that permitted the formation of the state of Israel. Many Christians died fighting against...

    Will the Jewish people ever accept the Messiah?

    You are a part of a tradition which you cannot test is true but which you trust. But clearly other Hebrews who read the same scriptures and saw the same things that the Pharisees of long ago read and then passed on did have a very different interpretation. This comes down to whether a...

    Will the Jewish people ever accept the Messiah?

    Neither of us speak Second Temple Hebrew. People 700 years after the temple fell and in exile had little idea also - so the unbeliever reinterpretations are the later redactions and often for the deliberate purpose of closing doors on Christ. The Jewish apostles and believers of the early church...

    Jesus met Elijah come from Heaven on the Mount of Transfiguration. I believe Elijah will be one the 2 witnesses that will stand in Jerusalem before Christ returns.

    Will the Jewish people ever accept the Messiah?

    I think the first century Jewish apostles probably had a better grasp of second temple Hebrew and the scriptures than you do. As may well do a great many Messianic Jews living in and outside of Israel. Or Shall I trust 21st century Jewish ubelievers who after 2 millenia of entrenched hostility...

    Will the Jewish people ever accept the Messiah?

    Its not a stereotype to say that people are only saved by Christ. it is the suggestion of an abyss between the saved and unsaved which only Christ can bridge.

    Will the Jewish people ever accept the Messiah?

    Some of these prophecies were fulfilled others await fulfilment. Bigotry is about being closed minded to the truth. Judgment is in the hands of the Lord. My hope and prayer for you and for the people of Israel generally is that mercy will triumph over judgment.

    Will the Jewish people ever accept the Messiah?

    adoni is simply adon with a personal pronoun. The word adon is used in Genesis 45:8 and in Exodus 34:23 to refer to God. Also it seems that Jews decided they would separate the adonai and adoni root words as a way of countering claims about Jesus at a later date. Link The Masoretic Text is...

    From the link I provided: Adon. [basic form] A title variously used to refer to men, angels, and to the true God of Israel, meaning “lord, master, owner.” From the Ugaritic adn meaning "lord" or "father" and the Akkadian adannu, "mighty." References: Jos. 3:11, 13; Neh. 7:61; Ps. 12:5; 97:5...

    Will the Jewish people ever accept the Messiah?

    Psalm 2 is a Davidic Psalm, the King described has a son. Together it is implied they will rule the world. It echoes the Psalm 110 saying that Jesus quotes in Mark 12:41. "The Lord said to my Lord : "Sit at my right hand until I put your enemies under your feet." As Jesus asks those who...

    Will the Jewish people ever accept the Messiah?

    They is basically a reference to any Jew that does not accept Jesus as Messiah. It is a definition that brackets liberals and Orthodox in the same Synagogue but it is not a racially based label as there are Messianic Jews in Israel and in the diaspora.
