If you and jjotto want to be enemies of Jesus Christ that’s your business. That is who he is going to put under his feet at his second coming. It won’t be the sissy looking, long haired hippy looking, Jesus of the Catholic artists either. He comes the next time as the Lion of the tribe of Judah.
You see, the apostle Paul, Jewish not Roman, was right all along when he said repeatedly in his epistles, this boils down to one thing: faith. Either you believe in Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world, the prophesied king of the world at his second coming (lion of the tribe of Judah) or you don’t.
I think it is much better to believe in him now as the Lamb of God, and then at his second coming as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, rather than meeting him as the Lion of the tribe of Judah...without first having believing in him as the Lamb of God.
This is a huge misnomer. When you read the OT, there is not one scripture that ever says that the messiah must be believed by faith. Not one. Why?
Because when messiah comes, it will take NO FAITH. It will be obvious to all. The events will unfold so clearly and plainly, all will understand from the least to the greatest. Worldwide.
The OT NEVER teaches one man taking the sins of the world or of another person. Ezek 18 and other...each man is responsible for his own sin. Personal responsibility! G-d wants us to deal with him directly....just as Noah did, Abraham, Issac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, David, Hezekiah etc....Each man deals with G-d directly regarding his own sin. No god-man required. G-d doesnt give us the Torah at Sinai....tell us what we need to do and what we CAN do (Dt 30)and then 1500 years later say....You cant do it! You are not responsible! This god-man will do it for you! He is my son... Oh and he is really me! That would mean that G-d is deceptive and a liar. He tells us we can do it and we really cant? He gives us hope and it is really hopeless? What kind of god is that?? Deceptive and duplicitous? G-d forbid.
I am not anti-messiah...I am pro messiah...proG-d...Just the right messiah...who will take NO FAITH when the time comes.
