http://www.jewfaq.org/mashiach.htmMashiach: The Messiah When Will the Mashiach Come? There are a wide variety of opinions on the subject of when the mashiach will come. Some of Judaism's greatest minds have cursed those who try to predict the time of the mashiach's coming, because errors in such predictions could cause people to lose faith in the messianic idea or in Judaism itself. This actually happened in the 17th century, when Shabbatai Tzvi claimed to be the mashiach. When Tzvi converted to Islam under threat of death, many Jews converted with him. Nevertheless, this prohibition has not stopped anyone from speculating about the time when the mashiach will come. Although some scholars believed that G-d has set aside a specific date for the coming of the mashiach, most authority suggests that the conduct of mankind will determine the time of the mashiach's coming. In general, it is believed that the mashiach will come in a time when he is most needed (because the world is so sinful), or in a time when he is most deserved (because the world is so good). For example, each of the following has been suggested as the time when the mashiach will come: *if Israel repented a single day; *if Israel observed a single Shabbat properly; *if Israel observed two Shabbats in a row properly; *in a generation that is totally innocent or totally guilty; *in a generation that loses hope; *in a generation where children are totally disrespectful towards their parents and elders; What Will the Mashiach Do? Before the time of the mashiach, there shall be war and suffering (Ezekiel 38:16) The mashiach will bring about the political and spiritual redemption of the Jewish people by bringing us back to Israel and restoring Jerusalem (Isaiah 11:11-12; Jeremiah 23:8; 30:3; Hosea 3:4-5). He will establish a government in Israel that will be the center of all world government, both for Jews and gentiles (Isaiah 2:2-4; 11:10; 42:1). He will rebuild the Temple and re-establish its worship (Jeremiah 33:18). He will restore the religious court system of Israel and establish Jewish law as the law of the land (Jeremiah 33:15).

Unsurprising, US military direct involvement was just a matter of time after the Iraqi Army turned tail and ran from a numerically inferior ISIS force. And given that we had a pretty large part in creating this mess, I can't say I take much issue with it vs. other military campaigns.
wise words... although the people do not want to go back to Iraq.. this was a mess created by western governments and so we should clean it up. I personally was deeply ashamed when my country went to war just because my prime minister had his head so firmly wedged up George w. bushes ass. Saddam was a threat to the region but very little threat to the world... ISIS is much more of a threat both to the region and to the entire world. Obama was warned that ISIS is very dangerous, but the smartest man in the world just blew it off by calling them 'JV". Obama has made lots of blunders, but this is one that's going to get lots of people killed. I used to think that I didn't want Obama to step down because that meant we'd have Joe Biden the idiot in charge, but now I think Biden might actually be better. |

It makes sense for a Messiah to come. When G-d reveals Himself, Israel would need to have a King. That is how it was in the Biblical days. Moshiach means "anointed one". One who is anointed with oil. The King of Israel, basically.
It makes sense to YOU. Like all religious people think their shit makes sense to them.What would a person have to do, in your opinion, to be declared THE messiah? |

Also, Maya Angelou should be in this poll. A remarkable woman, but people like Stowe or even Soujurner Truth would likely deserve more of a spot than her.
exactly. angelou wrote a lot of neat stuff......Stowe (anecdotally) started the civil war, and Truth risked her life to save others. i'm not going to minimize angelou's work, but i have no problem raising the work of other women over hers. |

God (man who pretended to be god) was writing that all who believe in other gods should be put to death...and he was speaking to (writing for) anyone who believed the bible......which we now call christians.
If you believe God actually wrote or inspired this , then you believe your god wants us to kill anyone who doesnt believe in him. Great and loving/forgiving god that he is.
I agree that God gave instructions to destroy some nations. Who did he give them to? Simple question. By the way, while it is evil to worship anyone other than our Creator, that is not why he gave the instructions to destroy those select nations - else other nations would have been on the list. Answer 1. Who gives a shit and what does it matter? You believe your god instructed people to murder anyone who didnt believe in him. Thats what is says in black and white in Deuteronomy. Great god huh? Answer 2. A make believe man cant actually give instructions. |

ISIS, the Islamic terror group Obama sneered at as a 'JV team', is now reportedly beheading Christian children, raping and beheading their mothers, and beheading, hanging, and crucifying their fathers. The photos are far too graphic to post here, so I suggest you simply take my word for it. http://www.catholic.org/news/international/middle_east/story.php?id=56339 http://www.catholic.org/news/international/middle_east/story.php?id=56481These people make Al Qaeda look like Sunday school teachers. We are going to have to face them sooner or later, and many retired military leaders say we should have destroyed them in their infancy when we had a chance instead of dismissively referring to them as "JV". In any case, despite what Obama claims, the war on Islamic terrorism is not over at all. It is just beginning, and this is not the JV team at all. These are people determined to rule the world or die trying. We need to make sure that they get the alternative.

race only exists in the minds of people differentiating people using skin colour, nose size, hair color, etc
these traits only use 0.00000001% of our genetic variations, however the same people ignore the 99.99999999% that unite us

sounds to me like this G-d you speak of is limited .
But if G-d had a son and became a man, then he would be limiting himself to human form. G-d is everywhere at once. He does not limit himself by becoming a human. wait now you are saying something different. you said before that he CANNOT take a human form, but now you say that he DOES NOT take a human form. Which is it. It would limit God if he stopped being God and became a man, but I don't understand how having a son who is a man would limit God. He does not take a human form. He does not wish to limit himself. In the Christian teaching, G-d becomes Man when he becomes Jesus. So G-d having a son limits Him as He becomes a Man. Also, having a son in general limits G-d because He created all of Humankind. To have only one son shows that he is limited like a Human father. That is why G-d does not have a son. No.How much more bullshit are you going to post? I am sorry if I was wrong. But let's say Jesus was not G-d in the flesh. Let's say Jesus is the son of G-d. Then that still limits G-d as he created all of humankind. He does not choose to have a son as he does not want to limit himself the way a human father limits himself. Explaining the holy Trinity to you would probably only take about 2000 years. I'm not up for it. But let's just say God did not become a man, Jesus was the son of God and was also god. Alright. I am arguing this from a Jewish perspective, you see. G-d never becomes human or projects himself through a human directly. There are prophets and writings in the Tanakh as well as the Torah which G-d dictated through Moses. But G-d as a man or G-d having a son are all human traits which G-d does not show. The brilliance of G-d is that he created all of Humanity. He does not need to show a miracle birth. In fact, G-d tells us to repair the world through works. He tells us not to rely on miracles. You can argue whatever you want from a Jewish perspective, and I'll read. But you went on to take a guess about the Christian perspective and got it entirely wrong. Stick to Judaism. |

Is it time to put a woman on our paper currency? President Obama went on record today saying it’s a “pretty good idea.” During a speech in Kansas City, Obama said he received a letter from a young girl asking why there aren’t any women on American paper money. (Dollar coins with Susan B. Anthony and Sacagawea are still in circulation, but they are no longer being minted, and Martha Washington appeared on a paper note in the 19th century.)

He does not choose to have a son as he does not want to limit himself the way a human father limits himself. really, this is all such bullshit. You keep repeating it would limit him without explaining why it would limit him. Just saying it would limit him is not explaining why there would be a limit. Having a son does not limit a father, and God having a son would not limit a god. |

People get sick and go to the doctor. At the same time people pray for the patient's health.
If the MD gives the patient medicine that causes the patient to get well, is that an answered prayer?
How many States have intervened on behalf of the children of Christian Scientists, sana?
