According to Jesus’ admissions, as well as the Bible’s prophecies, Jesus of Nazareth could not have been the Messiah.

1) Matthew 1:23 says that Jesus (the messiah) would be called Immanuel, which means "God with us." Yet no one, not even his parents, call him Immanuel at any point in the bible.

2) The Messiah must be a physical descendant of David (Romans 1:3 & Acts 2:30). Yet, how could Jesus meet this requirement since his genealogies in Matthew 1 and Luke 3 show he descended from David through Joseph, who was not his natural father because of the Virgin Birth. Hence, this prophecy could not have been fulfilled.

3) Isaiah 7:16 seems to say that before Jesus had reached the age of maturity, both of the Jewish countries would be destroyed. Yet there is no mention of this prophecy being fulfilled in the New Testament with the coming of Jesus, hence this is another Messiah prophecy not fulfilled.

Jesus consistently contradicts himself concerning his Godly status. "I and my father are one." (John 14:28) Also see Philippians 2:5-6 Those verses lead us to believe that he is a part of the trinity and equal to his father being a manifestation of him. Yet, Jesus also made many statements that deny he is the perfect men, much less God incarnate. Take the following for example: "Why callest thou me good? There is none good but one, that is God" (Matthew 19:17). "My father if greater then I." (John 14:28) Also see Matthew 24:26 Clearly, Jesus is denouncing the possibility of him being the Messiah in those three verses.

You have done your homework friend. I congratulate you. He never said he was anything. People said all these things of him, and he started to believe them and when he could not produce anymore they killed him because he could not meet their expectations of him! Poor guy, you have to think Jesus was slightly suicidal no?
He realized his mistake but by then it twas too late! Think about it.

Psalms 111:10 - The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.

Proverbs 9:10 - The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.

1) Matthew 1:23 says that Jesus (the messiah) would be called Immanuel, which means "God with us." Yet no one, not even his parents, call him Immanuel at any point in the bible.
Immanuel was Jesus's old Testament name Just as Jesus is not found in the Old Testament.

2) The Messiah must be a physical descendant of David (Romans 1:3 & Acts 2:30). Yet, how could Jesus meet this requirement since his genealogies in Matthew 1 and Luke 3 show he descended from David through Joseph, who was not his natural father because of the Virgin Birth. Hence, this prophecy could not have been fulfilled.
Mary was also of the House of David.

3) Isaiah 7:16 seems to say that before Jesus had reached the age of maturity, both of the Jewish countries would be destroyed. Yet there is no mention of this prophecy being fulfilled in the New Testament with the coming of Jesus, hence this is another Messiah prophecy not fulfilled.
They were taken into bondage in the OT.

No, Jesus is respecting God the Father.

The most obvious way to tell if the Messiah has come is to pick up a newspaper.

If there are still wars and hunger and troubles in the world, and crazy people out trying to kill the Jews, the Messiah has not come yet.

Immanuel is one translation. It means "God is with us."
Mary is a descendant of King David.
Your understanding of Isaiah 7:16 talks about something that happened long before Jesus.
There is a question about when Jesus knew He was the Messiah. Was is before or after His Resurrection? This answer would give light as to when Jesus fully realized Who He was.

There are many Prophesies concerning the coming Christ, some fulfilled with the Spirit in the person of Jesus, others with the Spirit in Muhammad (Deuteronomy 18:18 for example), other in the person and Spirit of the Bab, and still others in the person of Baha'u'llah (Glory of God), and still more which are yet to come with the forthcoming of the next Manifestation of the one and only Spirit of Truth.

Man, in body and soul, appears as many, but in Spirit all are One, for God is Spirit, and One.

Read the book "Promises Fulfilled".

Sorry,Jesus is the Messiah.
When it says 'Immanuel',it does not mean that it must be his actual legal name.Jesus fulfilled that name in His actions.
Yes,Jesus is a descendant of David.They trace his legal descent through Joseph,and his actual descent through Mary,who was a descendant of David.There are two lines.
Yes, 'it seems to say'.That is your interpretation.
No,He does not contradict Himself.If you read the passages in context,you'll find that.He is not saying that He isn't good (or God0 but saying that the young man should not be calling anyone good.
So no,He is not contradicting Himself.He is the Messiah.

Jesus rejected the temptation from the devil. in simple terms because of the fact the two Jesus and devil are ascribed to the morning action picture star does no longer advise that Jesus is linked with devil, in simple terms that the two Jesus and devil have been effective human beings. Jesus did no longer decieve the Earth along with his miracles. the place did you hear Christians say they are religious Jews. a lot of human beings have been killed in historical cases because of the fact they did no longer a definite faith, no longer in basic terms under Christians. Jesus could be maximum stunning in asserting he became into God, Thess 2:4 says that the fake messiah will say he's God and heavily isn't. a lot of human beings lived till now 96AD, no longer in basic terms Jesus. Jesus did no longer decend into Hell, in basic terms into abyss, besides, Rev 17:8 exhibits the fake Messiah will come from the Abyss, while Jesus lived in the international, became into crucified, went to paradise, and after 3 days became into ressurected. Christians do no longer worship pictures of Jesus, in simple terms Jesus himself, and his pictures do hardly teach wounds besides. The catholic church became into created by utilising the Romans i think of sometime in the third century, no longer by utilising Jesus preaching for 40 two days.

There are two type of messiahs, and whether or no he is messiah, whether or not he did miracles, even if he didn't existed, the teachings we got are very beautiful and important, and if the world would follow Jesus instead of worshiping him, the world would be perfect.

Look Jesus is Messiah.
He died for us,he suffered for us so we could go to heavens!
He did a lot for us,and a lot of us don't even say thank you, but he still loves us. He forgives us when we aren't loyal to him,when we think and ask if he is real.That is real love and a real Messiah! Well,yes he is real and he is real Messiah! Not like some people that say that are the real Messiah, there are only one real Messiah and he is Jesus, no one else.
