I've learned that I have to be careful what answers I give you, you'll run down those trails full speed and a page later we are nowhere near the original point. In another thread you spent 3+ pages arguing that Einstein was wrong about E=mc^2 and I simply answered a question pointedly and succinctly.

Why do Jews reject this?

Absurd. Joseph and Mary were from the tribe of Judah, and from different sons of Solomon. Yeshua was the Son of Mary by birth and the Son of Joseph by adoption. Adopted son's had full privilege inheritance rights as natural born sons.edit on 17-4-2012 by NOTurTypical because: (no reason given)
Goliath had four brothers, IIRC.

Have read through all the reasons they don't believe Jesus is the messiah?

I don't know. Maybe the same reason they would reject anyone that's not fully human and has supernatural qualities as their Messiah??!!

I like it... because a sword can't really come out of a mouth.
Words can though. The sword that comes out of His mouth is the Word of God, the flaming two-edged sword.
They have MUCH bigger issues than that to deal with. lol

The flood had NOTHING to do with sin, absolutely nothing, that's another lie of satan.
Genesis 6: 5-7 "And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.
Hmmm, the bible is ONLY talking about man, and man's wickedness here. Did Satan write that?
So we see that his plan was to destroy ALL of man from the face of the earth. That means that his plan of redemption would be over with. But, in verse 8 it says, "But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD."
So, when god found Noah, he changed his mind. Does this show omniscience?

If God wanted to destroy sin, He could have killed Adam and Eve in the garden. Right when thee were two sinners and not roughly 1 billion.

An omniscient deity needs to test us for what reason? He already knows what choices will be made before hand....

During the planning of man, sin was a known factor to all. For him to fully test us, sin has to be here. It is up to the individual person whether they will indulge or not.
Some preachers say that he got 5 rocks because there are 5 letters in "faith", and that's what they represent. That only works in english though. If he went to Mexico and preached that message, I wouldn't want to be the translator because I wouldn't know what to say since "faith" in spanish is "fe".

I never thought about it in that way. I always figured it was symbolic for something.
Edit: sorry this was in regards to the 5 rocks and the four brothers..

If he doesn't know the exact choice we will make, he wouldn't be omniscient. Therefore, why call him "god" instead of "a very knowledgeable advanced being who happens to be invisible"?

With free will wouldn’t there be multiple choices..??? So really God would know all the choices we could make, but wouldn’t it be up to choose? Hope that makes sense..
