    Jesus a Religious Reformer, or Transformer?

    Well that's great, but you'll have to cut out a ton of verses to get there, or at least twist them like a Pretzel. You're right in the sense that he was trying to get them to obey the Spirit, but you have some convoluted idea that the Spirit of the Law can exist without the Letter. How does that...

    If Jesus was God, explain this verse...

    You most definitely do NOT have the Spirit of Truth. What you do have is the spirit of Ego, and the spirit of Self-delusion. And the Spirit of Laziness too. You are the one with "bad doctrine", and you are the one who falsely claims to believe God's Spirit. I can play Nuh uh too you know. And...

    Which prophecies did Jesus fulfill as to be the Messiah?

    I think they now go by "Reform".

    The OT = UGH

    Unless you realize that the Trinity is a false doctrine and that you only have to "Worship" Jesus in the same way you would "worship" King David (i.e. bow down physically to as an Earthly Sovereign). Otherwise, welcome to the world of why I crusade against the Trinity.

    Why don't Christians give burnt offerings?

    When I said "Zechariah 14 says otherwise", that's a discussion. You said I was wrong, and then started the back and forth giving your point of view. You argued with me. I followed up with respectful questions. I merely made a statement. I have said that it should be part of the subforum before...

    Why don't Christians give burnt offerings?

    Because the Christian DIR is a Green DIR, and I'm not arguing. I'm discussing and asking questions. If anything, when you said "Wrong", you were arguing. Also, Messianic Jews are "Christians". They were the original people to be called "Christians", says Acts.

    Why don't Christians give burnt offerings?

    I highly doubt Zechariah and all his readers would have been given something purely metaphorical beyond their understanding of the concepts given. One can read anything they want into something, that does not make the plain reading wrong. I fail to see how the Eucharist is a "Sacrifice" in the...

    Jesus a Religious Reformer, or Transformer?

    Jesus was a religious reactionary, trying to get people away from the "Progressive" interpretations of the Pharisees and Saduccees and their artificial manmade doctrines and distortions and back to the original Israelite beliefs around the time of Moses as he believed it was originally.

    Why don't Christians give burnt offerings?

    Zechariah 14 says otherwise.

    Jesus: The Missing Years in the East

    Ok, I've had some "mystical" experiences like the times I took Salvia Divinorum (Which is 100% legal, admins!), and they confirmed my beliefs on the soul and the universe, does that make me a mystic? Oh yeah, I also hold a few "Gnostic" beliefs as well, does that also make me a Mystic?

    the virgin mary

    Early Jewish Christians like Cerinthus certainly didn't believe in it either.

    Jesus: The Missing Years in the East

    Was that supposed to answer my question?

    the virgin mary

    In the early 20th century, there was some scholarship that believed the Virgin Birth to be interpolated in the early period of Christianity's development. It never really got disproven, just swept under the rug during the Christian revival movements. The Geneologies are a bit suspect as well...

    Why is there no Prophet of our time?

    So Paul was just kidding when he said there would be prophets. Otherwise, it would be superfluous, since obviously the Spirit of Truth is manifested so clearly and plainly by those who claim to believe. So what happens when two people claim to have this Spirit but have contradictory views?

    Which prophecies did Jesus fulfill as to be the Messiah?

    You are confusing Jesus saying it itself needs perfecting, as opposed to their interpretations. When Jesus says "You have heard", that means "You have heard from the Pharisees, but their interpretation is incorrect". Jesus flat out said that the Law is binding and eternal. He never said it...

    The OT = UGH

    What do you think "worship" means exactly? King David was "worshiped". Moses "worshiped" his Father in Law. Abraham "worshiped" Angels. The first Christians were not Trinitarian whatsoever. They did not believe Jesus was "God" but the incarnation of "The Logos" or as the Targums call it, the...

    If Jesus was God, explain this verse...

    You dodged every time I asked you whether Angels have souls or not. Some things aren't explicitly stated in scripture. Besides, there's certain Apocryphal books like Ascension of Isaiah that basically state that he is, and I believe that this book was in fact the one referenced in 2 Chronicles...

    Jesus: The Missing Years in the East

    How do they attain this "knowledge" exactly? Prophetic revelation or arriving at philosophical conclusions you happen to agree with? How do you decide which "mystical" tradition is right? Many of them have quite conflicting ideas.

    Jesus: The Missing Years in the East

    You're talking about those who deny all historicity and manuscript evidence, and rely on nothing but new-age websites that don't have any actual citations, right

    The OT = UGH

    Then you're just as much an historical revisionist as the orthodox church. I don't think any historian or scholar denies that Christianity was originally a sect of Torah obedient Jews. The concept of "Judaism" being purely a tradition of Rabbinical commentary from the Talmud is a much later...
