1) The word “Messiah” is an English rendering of the Hebrew word “Mashiach”, whose translation is “Anointed”. It usually refers to a person initiated into G-d’s service by being anointed with oil. (Having oil poured on his head. Cf. Exodus 29:7, I Kings 1:39, II Kings 9:3).

2) There are many Messiahs in the Bible. Since every King and High Priest was anointed with oil, each may be referred to as “an anointed one” (a Mashiach or a Messiah). For example: “G-d forbid that I [David] should stretch out my hand against the L-rd’s Messiah [Saul]...” I Samuel 26:11. Cf. II Samuel 23:1, Isaiah 45:1, Psalms 20:6.

3) The Hebrew word “HaMashiach” (lit. THE Messiah) describing a future anointed person to come does not appear anywhere in the Bible. Since the Bible makes no explicit reference to the Messiah, it is unlikely that it could be considered the most important concept in the Bible. Indeed, in Jewish thought, the Messianic idea is not the most crucial. However, in Christian thought, the Messiah is paramount- a difficulty in light of its conspicuous absence from scripture.

4) Islam calls Jesus “The Messiah” because he is the Last of the Israelite Prophets.

5) Islam also states that a False Messiah will be sent down as a final chastisement to the Jews who denied Jesus once God gathers them all into one small area.

Why is it that some people say they don't believe in God because they have no proof? Is there proof that he doesn't exist?And what exactly do you believe God to be? An old man with a grey beard sitting on the clouds? Why don't some people believe in anything the cannot see? Not everything is visible, and not everything can be held in your hand.
Do you see the love you feel for your kids? Do you see compassion? Do you see happiness and fulfillment? No you just feel it. And that 's enough proof that it exists. If God didn't exist why would we believe in Him? How the heck did we come up with that crazy idea that there's a God? To me God is all the beautiful feelings we have inside. Our intuition, our soul, the sun, the wind, our higher self...
Any oppinions? If it seems like I'm preaching, I'm not. I 'm just trying to see the logic behind atheism.

Hi,
My 2 sons have croup at the moment. Does anyone have any tips or tricks for relieving the cough. They are on oral steroids but they take about 24hours to take good effects apparently.

Thanks

20 20 team is going to have a new captain. The trinity of Indian batting is going to be missing. Do we need someone like Dhoni, Yuvraj who are not know for their leadership skills to be the captain of this team or do we need someone with proven leadership skills like Mohammed Kaif to be the captian of this team.
Sample this,
1. He was the captian of the only under 19 world cup winning squad. He was vice captain of the only under 15 team which won the championship.
2. He was the captain of the UP team that lifted the Ranji Trophy last season. He is still the current captian of UP.
3. He was the captian of the India Seniors team in 2005 season of the Challenger trophy which included names like Sachin, etc.
4. He is the currect Zonal team captain
5. He is the captain of the A team to Zimbabwe and Kenya. The first game of which we won by huge margin. His contribution with the bat was also pretty good.
6. He is unfazzed by assuming the additional leadership role.

why is everything in there unoriginal? Everything I am about to mention comes before the start of christianity.

Mithras - called the Son of God and the Light of the World - was born on December 25, died was buried in a rock tomb, and then resurrected in three days later. December 25 is also the birthday or Osiris, Adonis, and Dionysus. The newborn Krishna was presented with gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

Romulus is described as the Son of God, born of a virgin.


Pictograms of Isis nursing her miraculously conceived son Horus became the image of our images of the Virgin Mary nursing Baby Jesus.

Really all of the bible is ancient pagan religions re-written and the names changed. There is nothing original about it. And remember, all of these happened before this guy jesus was supposedly on earth.

Pope: Creation vs. evolution clas an 'absurdity'
Benedict XVI also says humans must listen to ‘the voice of the Earth’
MSNBC News Services
Updated: 1:55 p.m. CT July 25, 2007

“They are presented as alternatives that exclude each other,” the pope said. “This clash is an absurdity because on one hand there is much scientific proof in favor of evolution, which appears as a reality that we must see and which enriches our understanding of life and being as such.”


He said evolution did not answer all the questions: “Above all it does not answer the great philosophical question, ‘Where does everything come from?’”
