Jesus is not the Messiah

I thank my partner for his thought-out rebuttals. It is clear he spent a lot of time on this. However, as we shall soon see, his "rebuttals" hold absolutely no water.C1: Jesus did not embody the personal quaifications to be the MessiahNumbers 36:7, "The hereditary property of the Israelites will thus not be transferred from one tribe to another, and each person among the Israelites will remain attached to the hereditary property of his father's tribe. Your argument is refuted by the text itself. Women ONLY kept the right to the inheritance if they married not only within the same tribe--but within the same clan! You now attempt to defend two conflicting lineages--which I believe I explained well. Joseph's lineage would be immaterial if he were not the biological father, and if he was not the biological father, his lineage was disqualified because he went through the line of Jeconiah. [1] In fact NO ONE during the time, even though genealogical records were available to the doubters, ever disputed Jesus' Davidic decendency. There are in fact numerous instances where the Jews call Jesus "Son of David"False! Legends in the Talmud say that the one who MIGHT have been Jesus of the Christian Bible was actually the child of a Roman soldier. [2] "This is because Jesus was a divine child, adopted legally by Joseph, and as such he was rightfully handed the reign to David's throne."False! Please present a Biblical (or Talmudic) account. A child born as a priest (a kohein) is ALWAYS a kohein even if adopted by someone from the tribe of Judah. Adoption does NOT change tribal status -- it is only biological from a Jewish father to his Jewish child.Conclusion: My partners "rebuttals" are fiction.C2: Jesus was a false prophet.The problem is that the Western Wall was indeed part of the Jewish temple. [3] Second problem with this "explanation" is that there are two more reports of this incident: 1) Mark 13:1-2, "And as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him, 'Master, see what manner of stones and buildings are here! And Jesus answering said to him, "See these great buildings? There shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be throne down. 2) Luke 19:41-44, "And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it, saying, "If you had known, even, at least in this day, the things which belong unto your peace! but now they are hid from your eyes. For the days shall come upon you, that your enemies will cast a trench about you, and compass you round, and keep you in on every side, and shall lay thee even with the ground, and your children within youi; and they shall not leave in you one stone upon another; because you knew not the time of your visitation." From Mark's version, it seems clear that Jesus refers to the entire Temple complex, including all its "stones and buildings"; but it is in Luke that removes all ambiguity because he took the whole city of Y'rushalayim, which certainly does include portions of the wall shown in my photograph of round 1. [4]Removal of the Torah? Unlike what my partner may suggest, the kosher laws are indeed Biblical. [5] C3: Jesus did not fullfill the Messianic prophecies My partner's rebuttal was especially week on this, and we will see why in just a sec. 1) World peace? The passages I quoted certainly discuss the Messianic era. Every time the scriptures use the phrases "in that day", "the terrible day of the Lord" or anything about the last days, we are to understand it to discuss the Messianic era. Isaiah 2:4, "And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more." Sounds like world peace to me! As a christian, I do believe in the eternal peace that will be brought about by the messiah Jesus. However, we believe he will do this in his second coming. This just proves my point that Jesus did not fulfill everything in his first coming. This is also an argument from silence. Likewise, Jesus was suppose to come back in the lifetime of his followers. [6] 2) Universal knowlege of God and Torah observanceSorry for no reference: Jeremiah 31:31-34; Zechariah 8:23; Isaiah 11:9; Zechariah 14:9,16; Isaiah 11:93) Gather Jews back to the land of IsraelI fail to see why this shows my argument false. Throughout the Bible, G-d often uses people to accomplish His will. A good example of that is in 1 Chronicles:1 Chronicles 10:13-15: So Saul died for his unfaithfulness which he had committed against Yahweh, because he did not keep the word of Yahweh, and also because he consulted a medium for guidance. But he did not inquire of Yahweh; therefore He killed him, and turned the kingdom over to David the son of Jesse (1 Chron. 10:13-15) Conclusion: Jesus is not the Messiah; the Messiah is not yet come! ==Notes and Sources==http://www.debate.org...
