Doubt #6 Yeshua is not our Messiah

Yeshua is not our Messiah has been around for 2,000 years.  Even though no other Name has endured the test of time, not to speak of all the evidence, people still doubt Yeshua being the Messiah.  If a person compares the gospels in the New Covenant with Isaiah 53:1-12 of the Tenach there is no doubt left.

Doubt #5 Salvation can only come through works

It is interesting Religion demands works for salvation but never says how much works is enough.  The Bible show Abraham was justified by believing Genesis 15:6 "And he believed in the L_RD; and he counted it to him for righteousness."  The Bible shows believers are blessed Psalm 2:11,12 "Serve the L_RD with fear and rejoice with trembling.  Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little, Blessed are all they that put their trust in him."

Doubt #4 Man does not inherit a sin nature

Religion wants to be able to work for redemption but our sin nature stand in the way of any works being able to pay for our redemption.  This sin nature was inherited from Adam.  Genesis 5:3 "And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness after his image; and called his name Seth:"  Adam's son was fashioned in Adam's sinful likeness and image.  Genesis 6:5 "And G-d 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"  Our sin nature came from Adam.

Doubt #3

Doubt #3  Religion can not believe in a virgin birth
The Holy Scriptures tells us of just such an event
Isaiah 7:14 "Therefore the L-rd himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel."
Virgin born Messiah (G-d's Son) was to fulfill Genesis 3:15 "And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel."Normally the seed has to do with the male reproduction aspect but in this case the child was to be virgin born and not have a male seed.

Doubt #2

Doubt #2 is G-d can have no Son
 People are confused by religions beliefs that a monotheistic G-d can have no Son and for  the Son be G-d himself.  The Holy Scriptures, G-d's word that shall never pass away, describes His Son.Psalms 2:7  "I will declare the decree: the L_RD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee."
Proverbs 30:4 "Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended: who hath gathered the wind in his fists: who hath bound the waters in a garment: who hath established all the ends of earth; what is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell?"
Isaiah 9:6 "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty G-d, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace."

Doubts

The next few post will be on some doubts people have about the Messiah of Israel.

Doubt one-Messiah is not to be G-d

The scriptures show Messiah is G-d in Psalms 2;7  "I will declare the decree: the L-RD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee."

"Behold, the days come, saith the L-RD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth.  In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely; and this is his name whereby he shall be called, THE L-RD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS." Jeremiah 23:5,6

Psalm 2: 12 "Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him."

"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder; and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty G-d, The everlasting Father,  The Prince of Peace."  Isaiah 9:6

Proverbs 30:4 "Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell?

The Messiah is G-d come down to earth to redeem us back to himself.  Rejoice.

Grandchildren, dementia, and life in general

This is a repost from three years ago.  Even as Ed's health is decreasing,  G-d does not change.  Hope this is an encouragement to you.

For the past week we have had nine grandchildren here( not all to once).  Now grandchildren on any level are interesting.  These were no different.  They are a blessing and so different from each other.  They are an amusement to my husband and helps him to enjoy life a little bit.  ("Children's children are the crown of old men;..."Proverbs 17:6a)
.
Ed's dementia has increase.  He has had schizophrenia for years, now he also has dementia.   As the doctor said, "he could loose quite a bit of his memory and it not be noticeable because he is so intelligent". Sometimes he uses the wrong word for what he is trying to say, doesn't remember what was told him, tires from activity easily, gets the time of day turned around, doesn't know the day,month,etc.("He removeth away the speech of the trusty, and taketh away the understanding of the aged." Job 12:20)

What I just wrote is a picture of real life, good and bad.  One thing that makes life worth living is the joy G-d gives us each day in small things and in bad situations,God's wisdom to see life in terms of eternity (Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel and afterwards receive me to glory."  Psalms 73:24), the Bible's truths being lived out in front of my eyes("For ever, O L-RD, thy word is settled in heaven.") .Enjoy the day, be thankful for what you have, love the L-RD with all your heart.  You will not regret it.("This is the day which the L-RD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it." Psalms118:24)
