"Lighten up, Francis."
The Messiah came, and Is, and always will Be. Hallelujah! :-)
And still, some will call you deluded. We should all be so deluded, friend
There is a traditional view that avoids spelling it where it will be discarded so that one may observe the commandment about not taking the name in vain.
More like a couple of hundred.
Amen to that!
For those with a sense of humor:
The Messiah is coming! Everone look busy.
or how about:
The Messiah is coming! Someone get Him a towel!
(OK, that was bad, I hope it doesn't earn me a break from posting...)
The messiah of Christianity (aka Jesus) is claimed by Christianity to be the same as YHVH. The trinitarian tradition is something that most Christians are not going to question or challenge. Meanwhile, Jews hold on to the Shema as well they should.
A few months ago, my wife and I had a bunch of bills come due at the same time without the money to cover them all. I was embarrassed to do it, but I had to ask my parents for some money to tide us over, which my mother said she'd give us.
A few minutes later, my father called back. My parents needed some furniture moved and he'd pay my wife and me more than we'd asked for if we moved it for them. It really wasn't that big a deal, but it allowed me the dignity of earning the money.
As with my temporal parents, so with the Heavenly Parent. I would far rather earn my way into His good graces. I would be ashamed to have it handed to me as a gift.
I once heard a little story about a Christian and a Jew welcoming the messiah to Jerusalem. question #1 - is this your first visit to our fair city...
I expect the Messiah will come. I just don't expect it to happen soon.... More to the point, I don't believe in conducting my life, as if it will happen soon.
My best friend in middle school, whose father was a pastor, tried to get me to convert to Christianity. That was basically the deal I made with him.
A student told his professor he was going to "Palestine" to "fight for freedom, peace and justice,"Orwellian leftist code words that mean "murder Jews."

Deu 4:29 But from there you will seek the Lord your God, and you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul.
Luk 11:9 So I say to you, ask and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
If anyone wants to look at these... these are Old Testament verses that Christians believe Jesus fulfilled and then the Christian New Testament verses that go with them.
Since we are talking about the coming of the Messiah...

Their own Messiah stories are quite complex and HAPPENED IN THE PAST, ergo, your little rant about the Anti-Christ already happened and is history ~ you are about 2.5 millenia too late as it were!
Their Noah stories are also quite interesting ~ yes, they have Noah, or as he is more properly named, Ma-Nu. Odds are you think of the Noah story as just one of those things ~
I doubt I'm falling for anything here, but your ignorance of what a billion people who are allied to us in our war against terrorism is appalling.
His Messiah is coming but ours has already been here and is expected back. I hope it is shortly.
muawiyah, at it again, spewing more twisted leftist theology. No need wasting time and bandwidth on it. Twist the scripture to your own destruction.
Now who would do that other than various Moslem fanatics?
Either you and I are simply talking about totally different things, or you are a mole.
So, which is it?
