Jesus is not the Messiah

Rebuttal to Born in Bethlehem: My opponent says that its circular reasoning for saying Jesus is the Messiah because he was born in Bethlehem. However, he never shows how. I was simply just showing that was one of the requirements for the Messiah, and Jesus fulfilled it. I properly translated Micah 5. It’s obviously referring to the Messiah because it says “My ruler will come from you”. Who is the ruler? Obviously the Messiah, and the Messiah would come from King-David. This proves 1) The Messiah would come from Bethlehem 2) The Messiah would be from the lineage of David. Jesus fulfilled both of these, so my opponent didn’t really disprove my argument, but actually supported it. Rebuttal to Called out of Egypt: No this is a prophecy concerning the Messiah who would come out of Egypt. It’s a prophecy using the Messiah as ISRAEL. Jesus came out of Egypt from his birth back to Bethlehem. Rebuttal to the The Lineage: My opponent makes the claim that Jesus could not be the Messiah because he does not descend from David. This is silly. Jesus was legally related to Joseph and thus came from the line of David through Joseph (Matthew 1) AND descendant of David through Mary (Luke 3). Moreover, Jesus was a descendent of David through His REAL Father, God. Any one of these three is sufficient in establishing Jesus Davidic lineage. The idea that he could not have descended from David through Mary is without justification. Rebuttal to Jesus entered the Temple[2]: Malachai 3 says that the Messiah would “prepare the way for the Lord”. Jesus drove out the temple of the money changers in Matthew 21:12, and Mark 11:15-16. Jesus also fulfilled Psalm 69:9 “Zeal for your house will consume me”. Jesus has zeal for the Father’s house since his people were destroying it. Rebuttal to Daniel 9[2]: Even if Daniel 9 is referring to the 3rd Temple, that does not automatically disqualify Jesus as the Messiah. This prophecy could just be a future prophecy for Jesus. This is perfectly in line with Christ, either in the tribulation or second coming or rapture, etc. Rebuttal to Prophet like unto Moses[3]: My opponent says that Deuteronomy 18: 14-22 is not referring to the Messiah but to Multiple prophets. However, verse 15 is written in the singular pronoun “he” and “him”.15 “The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among you, from your brothers—it is to him you shall listen—“ The rest of the context is just a warning against false prophets. However, this doesn’t refute that Jesus is the Messiah, nor does it refute it as a prophecy of the Messiah to come. For Christ himself said in John 5:46, when speaking to the Pharisees and Teachers of the Law “If you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote about me.” Rebuttal to Isaiah 9[1]: My opponent accuses me of misrepresenting Isaiah 9. However, what I translated is pretty much the exact same thing he said. In fact I will quote the Hebrew down here below. “Ki-Yeled Yulad Lanu ben Nitan-Lanu” My opponent also makes the assumption that Isaiah 9 is referring to King Hezekiah, but how is this possible? There are several reasons why this is false. If you look at the language of Isaiah 9:6-7, you will see that it refers to the ideal King of Israel a.k.a. “The Messianic Hope”. Or in other words, it is referring to God’s presence here on earth. Now my opponent agrees that it is past-tense, so this would make perfect sense that it is referring to God who is pre-existing. In fact there are four terms or attributes used to describe the King. Verse 6 obviously transcends a human being. The word for wonderful counselor is pele in pele yo’etz was used in Judges 13:!8 regarding the name of the Angel of the LORD(In verse 22 he’s identified as God). El Gibbor means Mighty God is obviously a title for the Holy one of Israel. Father of Eternity or Avi’ad refers to God in Isaiah 10:20-21. And Prince of Peace or Sar Shalom is referenced in both the Talmud and Scripture that refer to the Name of God as Peace (Shab. 10b, Judges 6:24). How can king Hezzekiah be the Messiah God? It doesn’t logically follow from the context. This is obviously referring to the Messiah. Jesus fulfilled this in his birth since he was born of a virgin, and the names are Titles that represent who he is. My opponent makes the claim that Jesus could not be the Messiah because he does not descend from David. This is silly. Jesus was legally related to Joseph and thus came from the line of David through Joseph (Matthew 1) AND descendant of David through Mary (Luke 3). Moreover, Jesus was a descendent of David through His REAL Father, God. Any one of these three is sufficient in establishing Jesus Davidic lineage. The idea that he could not have descended from David through Mary is without justification. Sources: [1] http://www.hebrew4christians.com... [2] http://waynestocks.com...
