Christ or Messiah?

Those disciples were Greek converted by Paul. This conversion was decades after the crucifixion. Paul never met Jesus. The word Christ is Greek and was adopted by the Greek writers into their Gospels. Why is it that the Jewish Messiah is always referred to as Jesus, the Christ and never Jesus the Messiah?

Was Jesus the Messiah?

In the day Messiah comes there would be:

  • Peace and prosperity over all the Earth (Isa 2:4; 11:6-8)
  • All of Israel’s enemies defeated (Zac 14:3-4)
  • All the tribes of Israel scattered around the world gathered back to their own land (Isa 43:5-6)
  • God’s righteous reign in all the world. (Isa 2:3-4, Isa 11, Mic 4:1-3)
  • The rebuilding of the temple — the third temple. (Ezekiel 37:26-28)
  • Unity of all of Humanity in the universal knowledge of the God of Israel. (Mic 4:1-3, Zec 14:9, Isa 11:9)

Obviously, not one of these conditions was met when Jesus arrived.

Why the Jews Reject Jesus as Messiah

Why do the Jews not accept Jesus as the Messiah?

Don’t the Jews believe that Jesus was a prophet and a Rabbi sent from God? They do. Don’t they believe in doing good works? They do. According to Jesus those who do this “go into life eternal”. If you don’t believe me read it for yourself: Mat 25:34-46.

However, there is really no requirement that one has to believe that Jesus was the Messiah to be ‘saved’. This thing about believing was something that Paul invented. The truth is that there is no solid evidence in the bible that Jesus was the Messiah, in the way that it has been corrupted and the way that the church insists on interpreting it.

According to how the bible is written and how many in the church interpret it, Jesus is disqualified from being the Messiah. Jesus was sent to the Jews and was a Jew himself, born under the Jewish Law. Consequently, to qualify as their Messiah he had to have all of the attributes of all of the Old Testament messianic prophecies as the Jewish Messiah, not to mention the things that were to occur at his coming.

Because Jesus is Not God

Because Jesus is not God: this means the church fathers had to have invented some incredibly huge lies to deceive millions if not billions of people all over the world throughout the last 20 centuries or so. This has to be one of the reasons there are so many contradictions and inconsistencies in the bible.

But there shall arise after you, men of perverse minds who shall through ignorance or through craft, suppress many things which I have spoken unto you, and lay to me things which I never taught, sowing tares among the good wheat which I have given you to sow in the world. (Gospel of the Nazarenes 44:7)

the enemies of truth and righteousness shall rule in my Name, and set up a kingdom of this world, and oppress the peoples, and cause the enemy to blaspheme, putting for my doctrines the opinions of men, and teaching in my Name that which I have not taught, and darkening much that I have taught by their traditions. (Gospel of the Nazarenes 95:4)

The declarations here are so incredibly huge that it is almost unbelievable to be true. However, so many Christians have heard just the opposite so many times that they believe it and would not even think of questioning it. After all, it’s what the Church teaches and “the Church could never be wrong”.

Did God Lie?

God and his son who stand for the Truth, the whole time pretending something different to all those that believe in him? He said that God was his Father. He said that God taught him everything that he knew. He said that he only did what his Father told him to do and spoke only the things that his Father told him to say. He said that his Father gave him all power and authority over all things. He said he came from his Father and would return to His Father.

Alright, now don’t they take this thing a little too far if they mean that Jesus is really God, but now he’s sitting at the right hand of his Father? Now if Jesus is really God, and he’s sitting at the right hand of… God? That’s really strange. He’s sitting at the right hand of… himself? Christianity pushes this concept on it’s believers and since it is a doctrine that is so hard to swallow, they teach that it’s a “mystery”. I can’t see how such a simple, literal, logical thing can be a mystery. Actually that’s the excuse that they put on their strange doctrine of the “Trinity” since it is so hard for people to understand — and with good reason! It’s not true! Continue reading

The Word was God

But the reason he is known as the Word is that what was taught to Jesus by his Father was the only thing that came out of the mouth of Jesus. He lived, breathed, taught, lived and died for the Word of God that he received from his Father.

This was a very fitting metaphorical title to apply to Jesus. Jesus is called the Word of God. Literally speaking, the Words of God are the words spoken by God, that proceed from the mouth of God. Being a metaphor, what Jesus has in common with the the Word is that he learned the Word of God from his Father; he came to earth with a message that was the Word that he brought from His Father; he lived the Word of God; he taught the Word of God and risked his life for the Word of God.

The phrase, “Jesus is the Word of God” is obviously not literal. It is used as a metaphor because of what he was, who he was, and what he did. Jesus and his Father are not one and the same. Continue reading

The King of the Jews

According to the Jews, Messiah (king of the Jews) was to accomplish the following:

  1. Rebuild the temple (2Sa 7:13)
  2. Gather all the Jews back to the land of Israel (Isaiah 66:20)
  3. Usher in an era of world peace (Isaiah 2:4)
  4. Unite all of humanity through the universal knowledge of the God of Israel. (Zechariah 14:9)
  5. Deliver God’s people from their enemies and make them live at peace. (Isa 40:9-11)

…none of which he accomplished at his coming. Continue reading
