knowing that jesus is the messiah is something that you can't explain to someone, you have to feel it, its like trying to explain what salt tastes like to someone who has never tasted it. you have to pray, and study the bible and have a desire to know. then you will know, you can't rely on other peoples knowledge when it comes to god, you have to find out for yourself

while i personally agree with you that it is highly unlikely that jesus is the messiah do not underestimate how real the miracles he performed are. Both jews and Romans wrote about the many miracles he performed, hundreds of people witnessed the miracles. do not mistake me for a christian either, on so many other issues we cannot know wether the bibles version (new testament) of jesus's life is correct, especially when it comes to what jesus said (a huge headache when trying to get an accurate picture of jesus's life) but the proof of the miracles is solid.
it is important to note to the reader that i am something of an athiest as i have lost my trust in christianity and judaism. it is things like this that really confuse me, there is no doubt some remarkable coincidences happen in our world (i myself having many to keep me from being a "propper" athiest. i cant help but wonder how these things happen.

He proved it by rising from the dead.
And appearing again.
The Jews have not been abandoned at all, God is still and always will protect Isreal, his chosen. Isreal and its people the Jews are all over the bible in history.
First the Jew, and then the Gentile.
Being a Christian, means following Christ..whatever your race.
Lazuras was raised from the dead, but did die again.
I think your story is mixed up in the 3 times thing, that could refer to Paul asking that his ailment be taken away 3 times, but God answered and said MY GRACE is suffiecient for you.
And Jesus, said He was the way, the Truth and the Life.
No one comes to the Father BUT by ME.
Study study study and peace to you.

The Jews have not been abandoned even though Jesus is the Messiah.
Romans 11:25 Lest you be wise in your own conceits, I want you to understand this mystery, brothers: a partial hardening has come upon Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. 26 And in this way all Israel will be saved, as it is written, "The Deliverer will come from Zion, he will banish ungodliness from Jacob"; 27 "and this will be my covenant with them when I take away their sins."
28 As regards the gospel, they are enemies of God for your sake. But as regards election, they are beloved for the sake of their forefathers. 29 For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.
30 Just as you were at one time disobedient to God but now have received mercy because of their disobedience, 31 so they too have now been disobedient in order that by the mercy shown to you they also may now receive mercy. 32 For God has consigned all to disobedience, that he may have mercy on all.

Your a dumb *****, you completly ignored the question, I hope to god your hot so you can still get desperate men, because nobody else is gonna be with a dumbass like you. He asked about why god said this, and then did the oppisiste, and your jsut talking about faith,.
You guys ever wonder why ppl think christians are stupid, read your own posts.
Your right it makes no sence.
and jesus changes a lt of the OT laws too.
Its crazy the change from OT to NT, espeacially when god is, Nonechanging.
Thats why I say he isnt the messiah.
good job.

Because from the time of creation mankind needed God to save them and Jesus is God in the human flesh. The Jews that have chosen not to accept Jesus as the messiah have denied God. You have to remember that the Jewish people from the time their ancestors came out of Egypt have always turned from God. It is noted in every single book of the Tanach except The Book of Esther. God has always warned the nation Of Israel and Judah of impending destruction if they would not come back to him. God has referred to Israel and Judah as harlots and whores because of their disobedience. The fact of the matter is God is still waiting for them, the Jewish people to come around and finally except Yeshua as their Messiah. And many will eventually, God does remember his covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Jesus did too many miracles to list, John 21:25.

Jesus is the Messiah because the Bible tells me so
Jews had not been abandoned! Simply their rejection of Jesus made other (non-Jews) can receive salvation.

Christianity is a completion of the Jewish faith. it is the fulfillment of the old testament prophesies which were given to the prophets by God Himself about the coming Messiah. the jews were never forced to reject christ, God did not turn them away. they turned away from Him. they did that of their own free will. they are more than welcome to accept Jesus as the Messiah as are we all. He fullfilled over 300 of the old testament prophesies perfectly. that counts for something i'd say. Jesus never failed at anything. Lazarus was already dead, and Jesus raised him from the dead. mission accomplished i'd say.

the people of the time were expecting the messiah ,
and indeed [at that time ] there were many
time has now sorted the sheep from the goats , and the christ stands alone revealed unto all reviled by his own [as revealed by issiah and the final prophetts
think what the messiah spoke [bringing to all mankind the new covanant [a pesonal god , that we all love god ;love neighbour
his own elites didnt like it thus reviled and tested him ,
the dues are not abandoned [they had little faith ]
god has never abandoned them [they forsook him , and his chosen son , the son [sun ] who revealed we are all children of the one father

As you say the Jews will not be forgotten. They will be gathered and receive their inheritance. Jesus is the Messiah.
