Answer 1

Answer 2

THE DDINT TO MY ZADDI =YIDDISH GRAND PA-AND BEFORE DEATH HE LET MESSIAH JESUS INTO HIS HEART AND WAS SUPPOSE TO HAVE A CLOSED CASKET BUT THEY LEFT IT OPEN AND HE HAD A SMILE ON HIS FACE THAT NO MORTICIAN WOULD PUT ON A DEAD PERSON. ISAIAH 53 STILL WORKS


Isaiah 9:6 "Unto us a child will be born, a son given, and he will be almighty God, and the prince of peace."

Isaiah 52:13-53:12 "He will be exalted and made very high, but first he will be marred more than any man. All we like sheep have gone astray and the lord will make to light on Him the iniquity of us all. He will die with the wicked and be burried with the rich. He will see his spiritual seed and prosper."

I believed Jesus and prayed as he asks in Revelation 1:1 & 3:19&20 "I love you and knock on your heart door to come in, deliver from sin and be your friend, if you ask me in."

I prayed "Messiah Jesus forgive my sins, come into my heart and help me, be my friend, thank you, messiah Jesus, amen

now he is my savior and best friend, and I talk directly to him and he does to me too.

and God can do whatever he desires to do-he as promised could become a man. like h2o it can come in 3 forms but it is always h2o -steam ice or water

God is one and in that unity can take on different forms but is always God-come to earth He veiled his glory and took on his innocent life our sins -as promised -what the lamb did as commanded to Moses Leviticus 17 verse 11 "There is no forgiveness of sins without a blood atonement of innocent blood. "
