Jesus of Nazareth is just one of the aspirants to being the Mashiach. In his lifetime, a much better claimant was Sabbatai Zevi in the 17th Century, who convinced the vast majority of Jews in Europe that he was Mashiach, before being forcibly converted to Islam by the Sultan.

Now you're guessing. Dangerous stuff, especially when attempting to instruct those with knowledge AND wisdom. Care to re-examine your historical stab-in-the-dark?

So you see that Zevi is not the Christ of God, but Jesus is as the Scriptures teach. His name is known world wide and one either loves or hates Him. Why is that do you think?
