Yashua is Ha mashiach as spoken of by the prophets

Thank you for challenging me to this debate. I am here to prove Jesus is no messiah! Contention 1: Wrong lineage (P1) The messiah must be a descendent of David through his son, Solomon. (P2) Jesus was not a descendent of David through his son, Solomon. (C) Therefore, Jesus was not messiah. Matthew and Luke's genealogy not only contradict each other, but contradict the Hebrew scripture. According to Jewish Law, tribal identification "comes from the father's side," while the mother determines whether or not the child is Jewish. If Jesus was born of a virgin, he could NOT have been a true descendent of David. Furthermore, we read in Luke 3:31 that it was Nathan that was the ancestor of Jesus through David. Therefore, he could NOT have been Messiah. 2Samuel 7:12-16 – (12) When your days are fulfilled, and you shall lie with your forefathers, then I will raise up your seed that shall issue from your body after you, and I will establish his kingdom. (13) He shall build a house for My Name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever. (14) I will be to him a father, and he shall be to Me a son; so that when he goes astray I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with afflictions of human beings. (15) And My mercy shall not depart from him; in the manner in which I withdrew it from Saul, whom I removed from before you. (16) And your house and your kingdom shall be established forever before you; your throne shall be established forever. We see the following elements in the Davidic covenant: 1) An everlasting dynasty, the Davidic dynasty, is established with David 2) David's heir to the throne, through whom this dynasty shall pass, will be one of his natural (biological) sons 3) The son who inherits the throne from David is the one who will build the Temple in Jerusalem 4) The Davidic dynasty will propagate through David's seed ( זֶרַע [ZEra]), i.e., via his direct descendants 5) Every future king who sits upon the throne of David will be a mortal man 6) Every future king who sits upon the throne of David will have a special "father-son" relationship with God, so that when he sins, he will be duly punished 7) Even when future kings (in David's seat) commit iniquity, God will keep the Davidic dynasty intact, and not terminate it as He did with Saul's kingship Reference: http://thejewishhome.org......;(Download the PDF "Genealogical scams and flim-flams). Contention 2: Crucified Messiah? Jesus was supposedly crucified, and it seems that this was one of my opponent's questions for me. The fact that Jesus was crucified proves that he was NO MESSIAH! (P1) He that is hung on a tree is accursed of God. (P2) Jesus was crucified. (C) Therefore, he was accursed by God and thus cannot be messiah. "But you shall not leave his body on the pole overnight. Rather, you shall bury him on that [same] day, for a hanging [human corpse] is a blasphemy of God, and you sall not defile your land, which the Lord, your God, is giving you as an inheritance. Because Jesus was hanged on a cross, he could not have been Messiah. Contention 3: Jesus is not messiah because he failed to complete the messianic prophecies! (P1) The messiah will fulfill all the messianic prophecies. (P2) Jesus did NOT complete the messianic prophecies. (C) Therefore, Jesus is not messiah. I believe that this is the most compelling case that I will make. Jesus could NOT be Messiah because he failed to fulfill the messianic prophecies. In order to understand this, we need to understand who the messiah will be and what the messiah will (supposedly) do. The messiah will: Build the Third Temple (Ezekiel 37:26-28). Gather all Jews back to the Land of Israel (Isaiah 43:5-6). Usher in an era of world peace, and end all hatred, oppression, suffering and disease. As it says: "Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall man learn war anymore." (Isaiah 2:4) Spread universal knowledge of the God of Israel, which will unite humanity as one. As it says: "God will be King over all the world ― on that day, God will be One and His Name will be One" (Zechariah 14:9). If an individual fails to fulfill even one of these conditions, then he cannot be the messiah. Jesus failed to complete any of the three, therefore, he is not messiah.
