Like?
Destroy Israel? I agree.
Holocaust was fake? No, but it wasn't a Jewish genocide. More non-Jews were killed than Jews so I can't really see how its a Jewish genocide.
The bible is BS, insofar as prophecy. If you look for a map of the known world, according to the bible, you'll find it is very small, reaching only to present-day Iran, to the East, the edges of Eastern Europe to North East, Greece to the North, and part of North Africa (Egypt) to the west.
As for Iran attacking the US, just like Iraq did not, and could not, Iran cannot, and isn't stupid enough to, attack the US. The real issue is Israel, as others have said, wanting us to protect them from an attack from Iran that is frankly not going to come. Israel needs to work out a fair agreement with the Palestinians, in order to secure the approval of the rest of the Middle East.
The real tragedy is taking place now: 1 million Iranians dead, in the last ten years, as a result of US sanctions that have starved children and elderly people. And why are there sanctions? Because the Iranians had a revolution, toppled the US-installed Shah of Iran and kidnapped a few Americans as revenge.
By the way, our beef was not the Americans. Our beef was them refusing to follow our economic, and social, policies. We want nations to do what we say they need to do, and Iran flipped us off.
Bottom line: we are not the world's policeman, we need to draw back our reach and worry about our own nation and strengthening, in a respectful way, the nations in our own region: the Latin American nations. The rest of the world should be of minimal interest.
No offense, but a lot of the stuff you write makes me wonder the same thing. Like when you said that Iraq is long time allies with Russia, and Iraq is going to get nuclear weapons from Russia, even though Russia is allies with Iran. You also pointed something out about Magog, but the map from the Bible doesn't show North America, South America, Australia, Antarctica, Western Europe, or Southern Africa. Most of the Earth isn't even on the map from the Bible. So even if the predictions come true, it has no specific predictions for the other parts of the world. You also say that the west is vulnerable, but there's no predictions in the Bible that says North America or South America is going to get attacked, because the bible doesn't talk about those continents.Do your research before you make a statement such as the one I bolded. I will pray for you.
JOHN 3:16 ?For God loved the world so much that he gave his only-begotten Son, in order that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life.
This applies for blacks, whites, greens, blues, purples, etc. But the Jews problem is, they do not believe that Jesus is the Messiah. This is the only stipulation God has given life under. The Jewish people as a whole reject Jehovah's way out of sin and death. So it's not God not forgiving them, it's them not taking advantage of God's forgiveness, not only for them, but for everyone.
And just because he is omnipotent does not mean he cannot be angered with false worship. That is the beauty of being omnipotent. You can do what you wish, and no one can stop you.
And since he gives free will, he being the omnipotent one he is, he chooses to allow us to love him from our own hearts. If he intervened in our free will as you complain about him rightly not doing, then it would not really be free will would it genius?
When your parents laid down rules in the house coming up, and when you followed them well, were you not rewarded for it in some way? Did your parents not feel as if you cared about listening to them, and translating it as you loving them? When you did not listen, were you disciplined? Or did you just run wild and did as you pleased under someone elses roof? If you were disciplined, was it a lack of love on your parents part because they disciplined you? Or did you out of your own free will decided to disobey, and therefore deserved the punishment?
If this situation is applied to Jehovah as the parent, and you as the unruly child who ignores him, and does what he pleases outside of the rules in his house (which is the earth in this instance), would Jehovah be wrong to discipline you, and kick you out of his house if you kept it up throughout your life?? Especially since there are people who will actually listen to him in the house? Could you really fault Jehovah for this?
If he can make it, I am pretty sure he can break it. And remake it.. and Break it.. and remake it.. and break it...
4. The Messiah cannot trace his lineage through Jehoiakim, Jeconiah, or Shealtiel, because this royal line was cursed (I Chronicles 3:15-17; Jeremiah 22:18,30). But according to both Matthew 1:11-12 and Luke 3:27, Jesus was a descendant of Shealtiel.
1. The Messiah is preceded by Elijah the prophet who, with the Messiah, unifies the family (Malachi 4:5-6), which is contradicted by Jesus in Matthew 10:34-37.
2. The Messiah re-establishes the Davidic dynasty through the messiah's own children (Daniel 7:13-14). But Jesus had no children.
3. The Messiah brings an eternal peace between all nations, between all peoples, and between all people (Isaiah 2:2-4; Micah 4:1-4; Ezekiel 39:9). Obviously there is no peace. Furthermore, Jesus said that his purpose in coming was to bring a sword, and not peace (see Matthew 10:34, as referenced above.)
4. The Messiah brings about the universal world-wide conversion of all peoples to Judaism, or at least to Ethical Monotheism (Jeremiah 31:31-34; Zechariah 8:23; Isaiah 11:9; Zechariah 14:9,16). But the world remains steeped in idolatry.
Isaiah 11:9 They will not do any harm or cause any ruin in all my holy mountain; because the earth will certainly be filled with the knowledge of Jehovah as the waters are covering the very sea.6. The Messiah brings about a universal recognition that the Jewish idea of God is God (Isaiah 11:9). But the world remains steeped in idolatry.
As shown in the above reply, this is concerning the millenial reign of peace. Not our current system of things. Lions eating Straw like the Bull certainly promotes peaceful conditions. If even the animals will be at peace with eachother, what will mankind be like in such bliss?7. The Messiah leads the world to become vegetarian (Isaiah 11:6-9). It isn't.
Most of what you posted from 8 on either have future fulfillment, or have happened in some way already. I have grown weary of repeating myself, so I will stop here explaining the Israel. All of what you said about Israel is true. The twelve tribes are done for, no temple, nada. This proves that God is not backing them any longer, because these things would surely not be if he were.8. The Messiah gathers to Israel, all of the twelve tribes (Ezekiel 36:24). Many of the ten lost tribes remain lost.
Even Christians recognize that none of the changes made by the Messiah according to Judaism as read in the Bible have not happened yet. This is why Christianity invented the idea of a Second Coming. The real Messiah has no need to come a second time to do those things he must do the first time around in order to actually be the Messiah.
Christians also believe that one needs a blood sacrifice for the forgiveness of sin, that one who does not have such a blood sacrifice will die in their sins, and go to hell, except for the sacrifice of Jesus.
This, too, is UnBiblical.
You aren't getting the point.
Can he make something he can't break?
If he can't make something unbreakable, he isn't omnipotent.
If he can make something unbreakable, he isn't omnipotent.
Its a paradox.
Think about it.
Can he make something he can't break. If he can make something unbreakable even to him, then he isn't omnipotent because he doesn't have the power to break it. If he cannot make an unbreakable rock then he isn't omnipotent because he lacks the power to create an unbreakable rock.
See why I'm saying omnipotence is a paradox?
I see what you're saying, but no offense, that is still human philosophy. And the problem with that is, as anything with mankind it has severe limitations.
Meanwhile, Jehovah's word continues to happen just as he wills it.

So to is religion a great deal a philosophy to a lessor much more mediocre extent...especially if it was "inspired to GOD" rather than actually dictated by GOD himself. I hope you understand Judaism now BTW.
I guess I don't see your side. I'm confused. Its not really philosophy when its by definition, and that definition is contradicted by logic.
Maybe they should change the definition or reinterpret this omnipotence thing.
God has near omnipotence.
If a person uses philosphy with the bible, they are done for. It explains itself in detail. Philosphy is how the trinity belief became so ramped in Christianity. Hell fire, things like that.
I have long understood judaism. And that is how come I can look at the state of Judaism today and see a people lost for answers. I hope you understand better the scriptures you misinterpet.
No offense, but a lot of the stuff you write makes me wonder the same thing.

First of all, Jesus is not divine, or God. This is the problem, people think Jesus is God. This is one of the reasons that Jews reject Jesus as being the messiah, because Christendom has perpetuated the lie of him being God, while the Messiah is said to be sent from GodNo, you clearly do not comprehend what you are saying. I even went through the trouble of re-reading their scriptures and having a very very close Jewish associate of mine explain it to me much better so I could be better to explain it to you here. If you understood at all anything in Judaism..after reading their prophecies correctly you'd understand why them claiming Jesus as NOT BEING divine..is not only scripturally correct from their 5 books of Moses...in which their can be NO JESUS in the first place. But why they reject Jesus as the Messiah. I even explained what Messiah means in Hebrew..you know the language Jesus spoke and the faith he was BY THE WAY..Jewish.
Jews are the source material for all things Jewish, Christian, and Muslim. You can't misinterpret their prophecies to fit Christian dogma...as you and every other Christian sect have done over the past few millennia.
I explained their beliefs.. I explained WHY...and HOW...even pointed out the very scriptures which clearly state this from a biblical perspective, and even what the term Messiah actually means...and why the reject Jesus as divine.
But you can't except this as even a person of faith, ironically enough from other folks of faith.
You quite simply do not posses the intelligence necessary to comprehend these things, it's no clue as to why you follow not only a religion..but a cult as well. And yes all religions are cults so don't feel bad.
My point is that the Bible says nothing about most of the world, and that's a fact. Find me one specific quote that says the U.S. is going to get attacked by Iraq or Iran? You can't, because the Bible doesn't even know about most of the world. The map of the Bible only shows 3 continents, and it only shows part of those continents. Also, the predictions that you claim are in the Bible are not specific, and they can be interpreted in several ways.
Did you read my post? I said name 1 Specific prediction that says the United States, not Israel, is going to get attacked by Iran. There's nothing in the Bible that says that the United States is going to get attacked. You also failed to find a part of the Bible that says the West is vulnerable. You said that Iran hates the U.S., but you fail to mention that so does most of the other countries in the world. The U.S. has tons of money, technology, allies, and protection. Look up Defense Support Program. Wikipedia does a good job of explaining it.wow, read what I wrote and look at the present day world, its obvious that prophecies are being full-filled. I bolded that statement by you because I all ready answered it in the post I wrote about the Battle of Gog and Magog. The land of Persia is in Ezekiel chapter 38 as one of the nations to attack Israel, Persia is now modern day Iran! How can I be more specific than that????
