Why in all the messianic scriptures in the Old Testament (Torah) not mention it. Nowhere does it say when the messiah come you have to believe in him. On the contrary the prophesies make it clear that when he does come there will be no doubt. Christian response to those scriptures is he will do it in the second coming (also not mentioned in scripture)

Your argument is flawed. If G-d is describing are path to salvation wouldn't he make it clear that the main tenet of the path is belief in the Messiah when he comes? The New Testament was written after the fact.

WHA??
I think you need to reason the question. I went to your link and nowhere does it mention belief in the Messiah when he comes. Think you need to do your homework.

Mr. Curious
Can you then please enlighten me on where it says you must believe in Jesus in the Old Testament?

The Bible doesn't say you have no choice you must believe in Jesus, but John 17:3 says to take in knowledge of the only true God and Jesus Christ means everlasting life. And Jesus' return is not an earthly one, John 14:19 says the world will behold him no more, Daniel 7:13,14 and Matthew 25:31 shows he will be seated on his heavenly throne as king. Matthew 24 gives the signs to look for as to his presence and the conclusion of this system. It says there will be false Christ misleading many, wars, earthquakes in one place after another, food shotages, followers of Christ will be hated on account of his name and delivered up to tribulation, many will be stumbled and betray one another, love of the greater number will cool off, and the good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth.

That's why we have the New Testament. It does talk about the second coming and also about the first. And God isn't forcing you to believe in Him ( although He has the power to ). Its a choice, but there will be no doubt when He returns again. And by then,those who don't believe, it will be too late.

Actually, the men who wrote the Bible just got it wrong. I think King James probably decided to leave out the part explaining it all. I know I explained all this the first time around. Lazy bastards just didn't feel like writing that part down. Once I finally come out, you'll know I'm the messiah. At the moment, I'm laying low, waiting for the right moment, you know?
Don't believe me? Where is your FAITH?!?

are you sur of that statement that you have said.....Ignorance is better than half truth, I myself am a bit ignorant but I remeber sometime back during my bible knowledge classes that we where shown some verses especially in Isaiah which announce the coming of the messiah. you are right that u don't have to believe in the messiah though when he comes..after all we are doomed to choose, the choice is always yours in the end

It's all a crock. Where is the "Peace on Earth, Good Will to Men" that was promised? Instead there has been nothing but war based on religious differences.

Dont listen to these other retards, the world is going to hell because nobody beleives anymore. Its the people that sit back and complain and wait for god to do everything that are causing the problems. If the didnt like it, they'd do something about it. I dont know the answer to your question, just the answers before mine were really idiotic. you wanna see god, get off your *** and look for him, he's not your mom.

God gave us, his people everything we needed to know in the bible. Because of sin, people broke away from god and created there own religion, not following the lords teachings. So read the bible, the only true book of it's kind. God tells us there will be many false books and false religions and many people following the wrong things. You are one of those people.

It is clear that you haven't read a great deal of the scriptures.

Did Jesus give up Saturday for us?
Jesus? Christianity? .
If Jesus died, he could NOT have been God.
Gods do not die? Do they?
If Jesus 'died' on Friday and 'undied' on Sunday, what else besides Saturday was sacrificed?
If Jesus died for our sins, he should be dead,dead, dead!
