We need no messiah and no sterile conception of a god menacing us with hell and purgatory.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Although we might settle for less, Heavenly Father won't, for he sees us as the glorious beings we are capable of becoming.
Science reckons many prophets, but there is not even a promise of a Messiah.
God ceases to be God only for those who can admit the possibility of His non-existence, and that conception is in itself the most severe punishment they can suffer.
Some unifying principles bind all Christians: that God became a man and died for our sins, and that without that sacrifice, all of us would be doomed.
Jesus made the final sacrifice for all, and we need not make it again.
There was nothing then but the revelation of the spirit-of God that could make any of the Israelites understand and believe that he was their proper Messiah.
We are very near the final climactic events that end with the Second Coming of Christ.
Let us therefore be of a reverent spirit, and fear the long-suffering of God, that it tend not to our condemnation.
The Lord Jesus will be revealed mightily, and will make bare his holy Arm, as well in the confusion of Antichrist, as in the conversion of the Jews, before the last judgment, and the end of all things.
I am a messiah. Ask anyone on the Internet.
