This couldn't have come at a better time... especially after MacArthur and Shapiro's interview on The Daily Wire. Thanks APJ!

I've read my bible, and it tell you that Jesus is the Messiah

[lovicekonopasek]

Jesus is the only HOPE of this 🌍 💜✝️💜

[belindarobinson]

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ;for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth;to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. Rom-1:16. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith:as it is written, The just shall live by faith. Rom-1:17. For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; Rom-1:18. Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them;for God hath shewed it unto them. Rom-1:19. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse. Rom-1:20. Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful;but became vain, and their foolish heart was darkened. Rom-1:21. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools. Rom-1:22. And changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. Rom-1:23. Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Rom-1:24. Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. A-men'. Rom-1:25.

I must say, though. With all due respect to the parties speaking here, specifically the guest speaker. This was the most confusing discussion I have ever listened to or have been partied to where I am so thankful my faith is strong. A weaker follower might have allowed such confusion concerning the question of his divinity that it might become a wedge in their spiritual relationship. Otherwise, we appreciate all your time recently.

This ep should be titled something else. Like, what does Messiah mean? Or, how does the concept of the Messiah develop over time in the Bible. Not how do we know Jesus IS the Messiah. 15 mins of Dr Carson not answering that question.

[augustine.c]

Amazing! Appreciate the explanations of context, really helps understanding

Isaiah 9:6 " For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace."

[ricklamb]

First He's not just the Messiah, He's Gods Son.The coming King.

Messiah is a Hebrew word for Crstos in Greek word which means the Anointed one. The anointed one is the Savior (Matthew 1:21)

[shanesnyder]

I won't say that I'd wager my life that he AM WAGERING my life that it's so. I answered it with my heart, not my head.

Jesus was the Messiah. God confirmed so in the Quran,

The angels said, "O Mary, God gives you good news: a Word from Him whose name is `The Messiah, Jesus the son of Mary. He will be prominent in this life and in the Hereafter, and one of those closest to Me.' Q. 3:45

And for claiming that they killed the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, the messenger of God. In fact, they never killed him, they never crucified him - they were made to think that they did. All factions who are disputing in this matter are full of doubt concerning this issue. They possess no knowledge; they only conjecture. For certain, they never killed him.* Q. 4:157

O people of the scripture, do not transgress the limits of your religion, and do not say about God except the truth. The Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, was a messenger of God, and His word that He had sent to Mary, and a revelation from Him. Therefore, you shall believe in God and His messengers. You shall not say, "Trinity." You shall refrain from this for your own good. God is only one god. Be He glorified; He is much too glorious to have a son. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. God suffices as Lord and Master. Q. 4:171

The Messiah would never disdain from being a servant of God, nor would the closest angels. Those who disdain from worshiping Him, and are too arrogant to submit, He will summon them all before Him. Q. 4:172

Pagans indeed are those who say that God is the Messiah, the son of Mary. Say, "Who could oppose God if He willed to annihilate the Messiah, son of Mary, and his mother, and everyone on earth?" To God belongs the sovereignty of the heavens and the earth, and everything between them. He creates whatever He wills. God is Omnipotent. Q. 5:17

Pagans indeed are those who say that God is the Messiah, son of Mary. The Messiah himself said, "O Children of Israel, you shall worship God; my Lord and your Lord." Anyone who sets up any idol beside God, God has forbidden Paradise for him, and his destiny is Hell. The wicked have no helpers. Q. 5:72

The Messiah, son of Mary, is no more than a messenger like the messengers before him, and his mother was a saint. Both of them used to eat the food. Note how we explain the revelations for them, and note how they still deviate! Q. 5:75

The Jews said, "Ezra is the son of God, " while the Christians said, "Messiah is the son of God!" These are blasphemies uttered by their mouths. They thus match the blasphemies of those who have disbelieved in the past. God condemns them. They have surely deviated. Q. 9:30

They have set up their religious leaders and scholars as lords, * instead of God. Others deified the Messiah, son of Mary. They were all commanded to worship only one god. There is no god except He. Be He glorified, high above having any partners. Q. 9:31

Shalom from Elijah/Elias.

[aidememoire]

Good information but I feel like it might not be the best way to explain for someone who's new to the faith. A lot of information that kinda went all over the place.

if Jesus is not the messiah there is no messiah

[johntoet]

the name of jesus in ARAMAIC is YESHUA, and means : HE-ROCK.
And god the father, his holy name is MORYO MORYO MORYO, this is ARAMAIC language and means MASTER-LY.
This is the most wonderful absurd word--COMBINATION, that there exist in the creation.
PLEASE MAKE EVERY ONE AWARE OF THIS.
the name MOR-YO is mentioned in the GOSPEL at 68 times, and in JEREMIA 612 times, and in JESAJA 404 times.
and the name YESHUA is mentioned in the GOSPEL at 612 times .
so by reading these texts, you can see for yourself.
