I wanted to get a Christian perspective because of the different views with dispensations. One view says that the Jews are Gods chosen people and in the end they will all come to except the messiah. They will rebuilt their temple, and start sacrifices and then become believers. That's the dispositional view.
The older view is that in Dan. 9, the sacrifices that will be put to an end has already happened, not future. They stopped when the Messiah was crucified. There would be no purpose for the sacrifices to be started again. Because the Jews rejected their Messiah and kept sacrificing, God had the temple destroyed for good in AD 70. Then he put the dome of the Rock there just to make sure. The temple will never be rebuilt
When the Jews rejected their Messiah, the message went to the gentiles.

Riddle me this: Honestly, how many Christians would actually positively respond to some nutter saying he was the second coming of Christ?
None.
They'd burn him on the stake for blasphemy, and the Catholic Church would condemn him to Hell. 🙄
Now, as was said in another thread, imagine over 2,000 years ago, when countless people were running around claiming they were the Messiah: Would you believe one nutter over all the rest?
NO.
The Christians, (had they been in the same position), would have demanded Barabus (sp?) to be freed instead of Christ, because they'd be infuriated with all the non-Messiahs going around claiming to BE Messiahs.

Interestingly enough, there is good reason to believe that Barrabus and jesus were the same person... several times in the NT Jesus is given the epithet, "Bar Nagara," or son of the carpenter.... as "Carpenter" was 1st century slang for a rabbi, or teacher, it is quite probable that Jesus would also be known as "Bar Rabbi..." Latinise that, and it becomes Barrabus.... also, may I point out that the supposed "custom" of freeing a prisoner for Passover actually didn't exist.... can you imagine the Romans freeing a dangerous criminal to appease a people they saw as intolerant troublemakers.... especially an especially intolerant and bloodthirsty authoritarian roman like Pilate...??

Don't I know it! All I get is abuse from the Xian factions of our merry ole world! They think I'm some kind of prankster! So what if I'm down wid hip-hop, biznitches and blunts!?! That doesn't make me not Jesus! I've had some time to think since my last cruise around the block and I've chilled da fook out and realised it's all about the love below. Check me...Peas.

No....I don't believe that at all....
I think God judges you on what you know, or what you were exposed to.
He is just and would never do anything contrary...If you think other wise then that's a churches teaching, not scripture.
Besides....people don't burn in hell for ever according to scripture. If you think so..then that's a denominations teaching.
