Messianism is a grave mistake, for it is the ultimate idolatry, when someone puts his hopes in an other human being, other than God.  

Like as if any Messiah could do anything to make life better or Heaven closer. They can not. Only God can do that. There is only one Redeemer, and it is God.

According to the Hebrew texts even if there were a Messiah candidate anywhere, that person is NOT required to make any miracle, or act miraculously.

The Messiah’s role is NOT to save the whole world, but to establish a fairly righteous leadership in Judah only, and ingather the exiles of Israel from all over the world. And this Messiah could be anybody, but God, as the Messiah is not the Redeemer, but God is.

Self-proclaimed and fake saviors ran havoc almost in every generation, causing proportional damage, where damage and the masses involved were / are proportional.

Messianism is an artificially enhanced idea, and it was used by emperors and kings and psychopath mass-murderers to claim leadership over countries and nations. That is why the term anti-Christ still includes the Christ, and the establishments always rewarded the theorists of imperial messianism with tax free priveleges, special benefits, cathedrals and monasteries.

The biblical beast is the Empire, and its head is the Emperor. Antihuman demons always claim if not their righteousness, but the very justification of their deeds, which is self-righteousness by definition, where the argument always aims, that they do evil things in order to save the world from a greater evil or to achieve glory, greatness, the martial peace and order, the monolyth structure and slavery of the pyramids or whatever.

However, none is allowed to play God, ruling over death and life. None is allowed to rule in the name of God, it is a blasphemy, it is a personal cult. None is allowed to make decisions, alone, over others.

None of us are allowed to tell an other human what to do. All decisions must be rendered by the whole community via consensus, within the framework of fairness and justice guided by the moral wisdom proven by many millenia.

  1. God is not human being. God is an eternal (meaning having no beginning or birth and having no end or death) Spirit Being no man can see and live.

    The Old Testament shows us how the Eternal Being, the Elohim Hashem Jehovah, has given a solution against the wrong going of man. Throughout the many Scriptures, we find the Messiah promised and by the opening of the Gospels we can read the time has arrived that the Messiah became a reality, out of the tribe of king David a son of man being born in the city of David (Bethlehem).

    According to you, the Messiah’s role “is NOT to save the whole world” and in a certain way that is true, because he is only offering salvation to the whole world. It is up to each individual to accept his ransom offering like God accepted his ransom offering to whitewash our sins. Furthermore, that son of God is by his offering to his heavenly Father going to be the one to establish not just a fairly righteous leadership in Judah only, but to be the king of a grand kingdom stretching out from Jerusalem all over the world. That kingdom of Christ, which you seem not to be willing to see and/or accept, is something which shall come over the world, like it is prophesied in the Holy Scriptures.

    Your stating that the Messiah could be anybody, but God, as the Messiah is not the Redeemer, but God is, is totally correct. But does not take the role away put aside by God for His only begotten beloved son. Jesus is not God, though many made him into their god. But that does not take away the mission of the Messiah and the role Jesus took on him.

  2. The above comment sounds like the ideas (I am trying to stay polite) of those Messianic Jewish Congregations, who do not exactly believe that Jesus is God, as a part of a Holy Trinity, because that particularly Christian concept is very hard to swallow for a born Jew, even for an uneducated one. So they make Jesus a semi God Christ Messiah, in order to pretend that it is not idolatry, though it is. Otherwise, even these Messianic congregants bought almost all the other parts of the Evangelical Christian terminology, like ” His only begotten beloved son”, ” God accepted his ransom offering to whitewash our sins”, ” kingdom of Christ”, etc.
    So what is the problem with this?
    1. The New Testament writings are not holy scriptures, but deliberately lying brochures.
    2. There is no need for a mediator between God and man.
    3. The firstborn son of God, the suffering servant of God is the entire nation of Israel, the light to the nations.
    4.There is non such thing like the Kingdom of Christ, but the Kingdom of God, who is the Master of the Universe, alone. And the Olam Haba is a spiritual establishment, not an earthly one.
    5.The spelling of Jehovah is incorrect.

    • You write that the Holy Trinity would be a particularly Christian concept, that is very hard to swallow for a born Jew, even for an uneducated one. But as real Christians following the footsteps of the apostles, we have no need to be Jew (though some of us might be) but follow the early teachings of the group The Way, like they were called, and how many Christians kept and still keep to the teachings of the Nazarene Jew, Jeshua ben Josef or Jesus Christ.

      What you call the Christian concept, is a false teaching to which many agreed under Constantine, though not all followed that false direction of the Roman Catholic Church. For centuries there have always been non-Trinitarian Christians or Unitarians.

      The apostles very well knew who their master teacher was, and soon had to warn people for the many false teachers claiming they too were followers of Christ but were teaching all sorts of philosophical doctrines.

      Are you claiming that “The New Testament writings are not holy scriptures, but deliberately lying brochures.”? The books of the apostles are written under guidance of God and with the letters of the apostles make part of what we call the Bible.
      In that New Testament more than once is told who Jesus is. The apostles also write that it is God who declared Jesus to be His beloved son, something a lot of people who call themselves Christians do not want to believe.

      “30 And the angel said unto her, “Fear not, Mary, for thou hast found favor with God. 31 And behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb and bring forth a Son, and shalt call His name JESUS. 32 He shall be great and shall be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God shall give unto Him the throne of His father David, 33 and He shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of His Kingdom there shall be no end.” 34 Then said Mary unto the angel, “How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?” 35 And the angel answered and said unto her, “The Holy Spirit shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee. Therefore also that Holy Being who shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.” (Lu 1:30-35 KJ21)

      “21 Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass that Jesus also was baptized. And while He prayed the heaven was opened, 22 and the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon Him, and a voice came from Heaven, which said, “THOU ART MY BELOVED SON; IN THEE I AM WELL PLEASED.” 23 And Jesus Himself had become about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, who was the son of Heli,” (Lu 3:21-23 KJ21)

      “16 And Jesus, when He had been baptized, went up straightway out of the water. And lo, the heavens were opened unto Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and lighting upon Him. 17 And lo, a voice came from Heaven, saying, “THIS IS MY BELOVED SON, IN WHOM I AM WELL PLEASED.”” (Mt 3:16-17 KJ21)

      “10 And straightway coming up out of the water, He saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon Him. 11 And there came a voice from Heaven, saying, “THOU ART MY BELOVED SON, IN WHOM I AM WELL PLEASED.”” (Mr 1:10-11 KJ21)

      Many seem to forget that Jesus got authorised not by himsel, but by God, and did not pray to himself, but prayed to God, to whom Jesus gave all honour and knew that his God is much higher than him.

      “And Jesus came and spoke unto them, saying, “All power is given unto Me in Heaven and on earth.” (Mt 28:18 KJ21)

      “and hath given Him authority to execute judgment also, because He is the Son of Man.” (Joh 5:27 KJ21)

      “No man taketh it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received from My Father.”” (Joh 10:18 KJ21)

      “For He received from God the Father honor and glory when there came such a voice to Him from the Excellent Glory: “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”” (2Pe 1:17 KJ21)

      “27 “Peace I leave with you; My peace I give unto you, not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. 28 ¶ Ye have heard how I said unto you, ‘I go away and come again unto you.’ If ye loved Me, ye would rejoice because I said, ‘I go unto the Father,’ for My Father is greater than I. 29 And now I have told you before it come to pass, that when it is come to pass, ye might believe. 30 “Hereafter I will not talk much with you, for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in Me. 31 But that the world may know that I love the Father, as the Father gave Me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.” (Joh 14:27-31 KJ21)

      “Then answered Jesus and said unto them, “Verily, verily I say unto you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He seeth the Father do; for what things soever He doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.” (Joh 5:19 KJ21)

      “Jesus said unto them, “If God were your Father, ye would love Me, for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of Myself, but He sent Me.” (Joh 8:42 KJ21)

      “And when all things shall be subdued unto Him, then shall the Son Himself also be subject unto Him who put all things under Him, that God may be all in all.” (1Co 15:28 KJ21)

      “But I would have you know that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is the man, and the head of Christ is God.” (1Co 11:3 KJ21)

      You say “The spelling of Jehovah is incorrect”, well in case you prefer the older spelling you may use that, but normally in communities or countries, people follow the regulation of the spelling commissions. As such therefore we do not write any more (as in our childhood) Yehowah, later Yehovhah / Hehovhah, but now Jehovah. Curious about what spelling you use. The same for Yeshua and Issou we now write Jeshua and Jesus.

      (If you want we can present you with the old original King James version, which we would find strange you keep to that spelling, though when we look at your other writings we notice you use a contemporary spelling. So why not accepting a contemporary spelling of others?)

      • YES.
        1. I do claim, that the New Testament is false, as it is, as a whole. The Apostle Paul was a Herodian and Roman agent, a murderer and a pathological liar.
        2. The Jehovah spelling is wrong, as everybody knows, as the translations mistakenly adopted the vowels of the word of Adonai, routinly indicated as punctuation markers under the Tetragrammaton in the Hebrew text.
        3. The King James is a garbage translation, and one of the worst of the existing ones.
        4. Anything is written in the New Testament can not prove any doctrines, because false premises will lead to false conclusions. Especially the lies of Paul are toxic, but the gnostic Gospel of John is pretty poisonous as well.
