Dear DaughterofthemosthighGod - in Reply on Jeremiah 16:19

What do you mean you disagree - it says clearly black on white!!

You say you are baffled with Judaism didn't believe Christ was the sent one. I am not baffled at all - it is crystal clear. Jesus fulfilled none of the requirements of messiah - where is world peace, where is knowledge of G-d in the whole world, where are the returned 10 tribes, where is the 3rd temple? Supposedly performing a few miracles is no criteria of messiah at all. He also transgressed many laws and went against the sages of the time. The list goes on and on.

The Lord is saying that we have the strenght to carry out anything we accomplish, but we do know that the Lord will be coming back on day. We also have to be obediant to God's words, and allow ourself to go out into the highway and compel our sister and brothers to come in by ministering the words of God to them. Amen!
