Jesus Christ IS the Son of GOD, Redeemer of the World.
I hope you find out before it’s too late.
The sooner I fall behind...the more time I have to catch up with
Is Jesus the Christ?
Absolutely. Sent to change the world, tear the veil, Light in the darkness.
Christ is not His last name, it is His title. From the Koine Christos, Messiah.
Jesus Christ is our only hope.
But we have hardened our hearts and would rather watch football.
We closed the churches for wuflu but kept the liquor stores open.
So who is running America? Kick God out of school, who runs the school?
I hope to see you in church.
Dt, I hope for your soul you will have a change of heart. God sent his only son to earth to pay for our sins and that’s why He was crucified. I personally don’t believe God would let his word be tainted in anyway. We have free will to believe or not to believe. It’s your choice and that is forever. I don’t want to stand before God and Jesus on judgement day and hear him say depart from for I know you not.
Well, it sure sounds like they had some notion of it by how they answered Jesus.
Like I (rhetorically asked), why would they say that?
Yes, in my understanding, it was a prerequisite to the coming of the Messiah.But the did believe that Elijah would return.
Did Elijah return before Jesus came on the scene?
No?
Then Jesus would not be the Messiah then would He.
Was John the Baptist the reincarnated Elijah?
If so, then that would satisfy the biblical prophesy.
Jesus stated that Elijah had come and related this to John the Baptist.
I did not say it was.Return and reincarnation is not the same thing at all.
Elijah would return as Elijah.
Elijah reincarnating would come as someone else.

If you read the Gospels, you will find that Jesus selected disciples and took them with him as he went about teaching and ministering. The prevailing concept of Messiah/Christ was than of a powerful military leader who would throw out the Romans and reestablish a Jewish kingdom much it was like under King David. This is very far from whom Jesus was as Messiah. He allowed the disciples to discover for themselves who he was as Messiah. The passage I quoted from Mark was the final exam and Peter as spokesman got it right.
If you are interested in learning, there you have it. If you just want to be an arguing troll, then I am done with you.

I see, there I have it. Yet you did not answer my question(s).
Well, I have read the Bible. Currently I am in the middle of my second time.
I made a reply to your post but you can't or won't answer my questions, so you call me an arguing troll?
This seems to be a pattern with you when put on the spot to back up what you posted.
You get all huffy.
Perhaps you need to discuss your temper issues with your Pastor.
Yes, I am interested in learning.
That is why I ask questions.
What's your excuse for side stepping the questions?

An interesting point about Elijah is that since he didn't die, instead being taken up in a firy chariot, he could come back, without reincarnation being needed. Many suppose that the prophets of doom spoken of in revelation could be Elijah and Enoch, since neither of them had died previously. I hold no stance on that....God will use who God will use. The people of Jesus'day were very superstitious, holding beliefs that the Torah, our old testament, did not support.

"There is not a single instance in history in which civil liberty was lost, and religious liberty preserved entire. If therefore we yield up our temporal property, we at the same time deliver the conscience into bondage." --John Witherspoon, The Dominion of Providence Over the Passions of Men. 1776
"The words of the Lord are pure words, like silver refined in a furnace on the ground, purified seven times." Psalm 12:6 (E.S.V.)
With the way the world is going. I hope Jesus returns soon.

IT IS A FINE AND PLEASANT MADNESS !
"and crying out with a loud voice,
'Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!'
And all the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshipped God, saying,
'Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to our God forever and ever! Amen.'"

Rizzo, I'm confident everyone here knows what I meant ... including you. And I'm not going to be a foil for your foolishness.
