@Pandora I’m not offended or anything, but I don’t get how Orthodox Jews are like Orthodox Christians who don’t follow the Vatican. You mean Eastern Orthodox Christians? I thought the Catholics follow the Vatican. I’ve never heard or thought of that comparison before. The Orthodox Jews are the most observant in Judaism, and Judaism doesn’t have a central governing body like the Vatican or some other Christian faiths.
@ragingloli I would not have thought that. I would have guessed that if the Christians did witness a religious figure or major change in the world they would just twist it in their minds that this new messiah fits what they always thought the Bible said. I would think they would call it the second coming of God and that the Christians were right all along.
Now, that you mentioned your take on it, I see where you are coming from, and how it could be twisted into hate against the Jews. I guess I thought of it as the Jews wouldn’t proclaim a messiah unless really big things were happening across the world that are very observable by billions of people. I don’t think it’s going to be like Jesus. I guess Christians could hate Jews in that circumstance though, saying it’s anti-Christian for the Jews to take credit?
Isn’t the second coming of God ultimately supposed to bring a peace on earth? I don’t know much about it. I realize the Christians also think anyone who didn’t accept Christ as their savior will be thrown into the fire like Satan and all evil people, but there are ways around that.
