4. He can't return if he never existed
Mendy ,   Brooklyn, NY   (06.23.10)
The Jesus fable is a fiction, that is why the authors put him to death by cruciFICtion. As for those who dare to compare him to teh Lubavitcher Rebbe of Blessed Memory, they err as the Lubavitcher Rebbe DID exist, did work wonders for people and was at the top of the short list of candidates who qualified to be Moshiach, but woe to our generation which was and is still unworthy of redemption. Woe to our generation whose American Jews elected Obama, woe to us whose so called religious people bring other religious people to the secular courts because of perceived prejudice, woe to us whose leaders dance to the tune of the goyim

7. believing in Jesus is better than believing in nothng
zionist forever   (06.23.10)
If they believe in Jesus and his second coming its better than believing in nothing as long as jews don't start abandoning judaism. Energy crisis possible and if there is another world war thats the thing thats probably going to spark it. As for the asteroid possible but its unlikley we are talking about Holywood style asteroids that are going to wipe out everybody on the planet. Terrorist attack with a nuclear weapon sadly probable. Radioactive material is not hard to get hold of, a terrorist can make a bomb with just radioactive hospital waste they don't need a military style nuke just a bomb that can spread radioactivity. Groups like Al Quaida are no amuters. They are well funded and know what they are doing and as technology gets better it gets easier for them. The only solution is vigilance and never to give up fighting terror .... MR OBAMA THAT APPLIES TO YOU

You know, the Depeche Mode song Personal Jesus was about Elvis being like Jesus! :-D
10. The Jewish Messiah will come in the generation Israel became
Rivkah   (06.23.10)
a nation again. A generation can be from 40 to 70 years, but a hundred years is not likely. 2018 is 70 years from the 1948 Statehood of Israel, so the Jewish Messiah Rabbi Yeshua will touch down on the Mount of Olives by 2018 or before. An earthquake will make Jerusalem a seaport city when that happens, so get your real estate higher than 250 feet above sea level because the oceans are going to rise that much.

13. Mashiach should be here in next 30 years not 40
Sam ,   Canada   (06.23.10)
The Jewish calendar year is now 5770. That is supposed to be 200 hundred years off.(since counting was not always consistent). That brings us to 5970. There will be 6000 years of regular living from creation then 1000 years of mashiach. (similar to a regular week then Shabbat)

Harold ,   NY USA   (06.23.10)
Do you mean the Christian faith is a fiction. Do you main almost 2 Billion Christian are idiots. Do you mean all the museums of the world displaying Jesus's paintings are stupid. You stupid.
15. Read Book: '26 Reason Why Jews Don't Believe In Jesus'
Robert Blum ,   New York, USA   (06.23.10)
The Jewish prophet Jeremiah cursed King Jeconiah (and his descendents) because Jeconiah was an apostate king. According to the curse NO descendent of King Jeconiah may sit on the throne of Israel. Matthew and Luke both appear to have been aware of Jeremiah’s curse and the fatal problem it created for Jesus. So Luke eliminated King Jeconiah from Jesus’ geneology. However, both Matthew and Luke blundered by leaving Shealtial (Jeconiah’s son) and Zerubbabel, (Jeconiah’s grandson) in Jesus’ genealogy. Historically, none of Jeconiah’s descendents ever again sat as a Jewish king, although one of his righteous descendents sat as governor. Matthew failed to remove King Jeconiah fom Jesus’ genealogy. Instead, he eliminated King Jehoiakim, King Jeconiah’s father. Apparently, Matthew was confused by the similarity of their names and eliminated the wrong king by mistake. Luke’s genealogy from David to Jesus is 15 generations longer than Matthew’s genealogy from David to Jesus. This undermines the Christian claim that the Gospels are the “word of G-d”, because G-d certainly knows the genealogy of King David. Some Christians attempt to solve this fatal problem by claiming that Luke’s genealogy is actually that of Mary, although Mary is not even mentioned in Luke’s genealogy. Further, this claim is rendered meaningless by the fact that Jewish law only recognizes tribal affiliation through the father. Even ‘if’ one could consider the genealogy of the mother, if one assumes that a generation is at least 20 years, this means that Joseph was at least 300 years older than his wife (15 extra generations X 20 years per generation = a 300 year difference in their ages. This gives a new meaning to a “May-December” relationship. The two genealogies do not agree of Jesus’ grandfather. According to Matthew, Jesus’ grandfather was Jacob and according to Luke, he was Heli. This creates another devastating contradiction, further undermining the credibility of the genealogies given for Jesus by Matthew and Luke. The apostle Paul, realized that Matthew’ and Luke’s genealogies were problematic for Jesus, so he said: “But avoid foolish disputes, genealogies, contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and useless.” “…nor give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which cause disputes rather than Godly edification which is in faith.” Paul had good reason to be concerned about the very flawed and contradictory genealogies in Luke and Matthew, since genealogy is the only authentic messianic criterion that the Christian bible claims that Jesus fulfilled. Jesus is eliminated from messianic consideration because of the myriad of errors and problems in both Matthew and Luke’s genealogies, in which they attempt to connect Jesus to David.
16. What percentage of Americans...
Barry ,   Jerusalem   (06.23.10)
Think that Elvis is still alive?
17. #10 HA! and hair is going to grow on the palm of my hand.
lildoobird ,   Jerusalem   (06.23.10)
18. Wrong, I'm Already Here!. (And Love Reading The Blogs)
JC, Of Biblical Fame ,   Perdition, Samaria   (06.23.10)
Oh, Mendy, yeah you, #4, what the hell was that phone call with your mother all about? You just bought yourself 7 centuries in Perdition. And Harold, # 14, yeah, they are. Anyone dumb enough to believe in me and this fairy tale mythology in this day and age is indeed stupid. Now I've go to go (just kidding), but I have to make an earthquake in Turkey, and there is this really sick kid in a hospital in Rome I have to attend to. I'll be speaking to you soon. Yeshe (Oh, don't believe that Mayan nonsense about 2012. Although since Magog showed up in the White House in 2009, I do have some problems to deal with.)
19. Many believe in magic, witches, fairies, goblins, ghost ,...
JMK ,   NYC   (06.23.10)
demons, good and bad luck, karma, fate, a thousand conceptions of the afterlife, reincarnation, and the most fantastic of all this thing called prayer where you aask the mythical god and he does not answer ever. All this on top of the scholarship and science that all religious holy books are proven tranparent fiction.
20. Pity
Clayton ,   Florida   (06.23.10)
"If I had not done among them the works that no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin, but now they have seen and hated both me and my Father But the word that is written in their Law must be fulfilled: They hated me without cause." ~ John 15:24-25 God bless.
21. #4 Woe to this and woe to that....
Brother Joe ,   Bay Parkway   (06.23.10)
and everything in between. Sounds like you need a Saviour. "Never existed" just an excuse not to deal with the subject.
22. Jesus
J.K. ,   Brooklyn USA   (06.23.10)

26. By 2050? No.
imafreeagent ,   Florida   (06.23.10)
As a Christian, I view this "end times" business as so much nonsense. As a contributer to this forum, it dismays me to see so much hatred toward Christians being expressed by Jews.
27. His Glorious Appearing
Lynn ,   Jacksonville, USA   (06.23.10)
I believe that He is coming soon... He could come today!!
28. # 4 Mendy
J.K. ,   Brooklyn USA   (06.23.10)
Mendy ! What were the qualifications of King Shaul,the first king of Israel,King David ,King Solomon,and all the Kings who followed them,to become the Moshiach ? (The anointed one) In Jewish History ,Moshiach became synonymous,with King,today,Crown,government.The Jewish longing for a Moshiach started during the Roman occupation of Judea,the Jews hoped for a Moshiach (King) to the house of David that will free them from the Roman yoke,the Moshiach would not be some kind of a spiritual Guru,but a military man like King David, who will defeat the enemies of Israel,it's obvious,Jesus could not have been the Messiah because he did not liberate the Jews from Rome,and the same applies to Rabbai Schneirson today,in the last 2000 years the term Moshiach took on a spiritual connotation,ignoring the it's real meaning.Theodor Herzel being an assimilated Jew did not expect miracles,therefore had the right interpretation of what 'Moshiach' means.
29. Leave the poor Jew alone already. (end)
