Specifically, the Bible says he will: "Build the Third Temple (Ezekiel 37:26-28). Gather all Jews back to the Land of Israel (Isaiah 43:5-6). Usher in an era of world peace, and end all hatred, oppression, suffering and disease. As it says: "Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall man learn war anymore." (Isaiah 2:4) Spread universal knowledge of the God of Israel, which will unite humanity as one. As it says: "God will be King over all the world – on that day, God will be One and His Name will be One" (Zechariah 14:9)." Jesus did none of these things. Aha, Christians will say, to wiggle around this, he's going to do it when he comes back! Where is the 2nd coming mentioned in the OT. Try and find it. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Heck, most Jews will tell you, with pride, that the Last Supper was a Passover Seder. Ignorance is bliss and knowledge is power. But having only some facts can get you into trouble! |

Oy was a character in the Stephen King Gunslinger series. He was a lovable little creature so of course King had to kill him off. The jerk. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Except the second coming of the messiah is not mentioned anywhere in the OT. It's pure fiction invented in the NT because Jesus totally disqualified himself as the messiah. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

A bumbler =) I almost said it, but I don't remember Nareed having said she read the series. Figured it'd be a wasted reference =p Be bold and risk defeat, or be cautious and encourage it. |
