SPOTREP - since there hundreds of prophecies in the OT regarding the Messiah, I wonder how they treat that subject? Expecially since one "church" took down it's cross and threw out the NT. Sounds like another man-made religion

Who said Noachides don't believe in the Messiah? We believe in his coming just as surely as to Orthodox Jews. What kind of idiotic statement is this implying that one has to accept chr*stianity to look forward to the coming of the promised messiah???

Chr*stianity can be true only in one of two ways: either 1) the Nazarene fulfilled all the messianic prophecies "symbolically" rather than literally, or 2) he fulfilled only some of the prophecies and will finish the job at the "second coming." This second school of thought insists that it is everyone's duty to accept him as messiah even though he is only halfway through his job. Duh.

Only one religion in all history was not founded by a human being: Judaism. Even its chr*stian opponents admit it was founded by G-d and that it was the true religion at one time. Every other religion under the sun was founded by a human being (even if you insist one of those human beings was "gxd," has vechalilah). In all of world history only Judaism was publicly established by the Omnipresent G-d speaking to an entire people without any human mediation whatsoever.

PS: Don't tell me to read the nt. I've read it. I used to be a chr*stian.

You apparently didn't read the NT very carefully. The testimony of the angels at Christ's birth, the testimony of the Father at His baptism, and the testimony of the mass of eyewitnesses to His resurrection speak clearly to His divinity. If He alone was the witness to His own divinity, that might be worth questioning; but the very voice of God is a little more difficult to deny.

And, for what it is worth, over 300 specific prophecies were fulfilled by Jesus during His lifetime. And the Old Testament is clear that there were others to be fulfilled later.

So - go back and read the New Testament again. You obviously missed quite a bit of it.

BTW - I notice you have adopted the Jewish affectation of not spelling out the word God...since that is not His proper name (cf Exodus 3:15-16), you are not in danger of breaking the Commandments by spelling it out. What puzzles me, however, is why you use "chr*stian" since you deny the divinity of Christ.
