Is Christ the Messiah?

Did you ever asked yourself why Jesus is the one who is being identified as a messiah? We know for sure that there was a prophesy about a messiah coming to his people (Israel) to save. But why Christ is the one who is being identified by millions of people that he is the one.

The answer is in what Christ did: healing, raising people from the death, and speaking the truth. John disciples heard about Christ, told John about it, where John decides to send a message to Christ seeing what does Christ himself has to say about this, about if he is the one (messiah)? and this was Christ answer:

"And he answered them, 'Go and tell John what you have seen and heard: the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, the poor have good news preached to them. And blessed is the one who is not offended by me.'” (Luke 7:22-23)

The solid answer about why Christ is the messiah is in the life that he lived. This is enough to know if Christ is the one (messiah), his goodness that He showed to the people. No one in the history did that much miracles as Christ, no one in the world showed that much love to all the people as Christ did.

Just before this story we see Christ healing the centurions slave from sickness and raised widows only son from death. No matter if the person was respected, rich among the people as centurion, or the widow who had just one thing left in her life, her son (who died). Christ showed love in raising the widows son from the death and healing the centurions slave. The one thing that we can not put in the shadow is the works that he did when considering if Christ is the messiah.

Christ says, "blessed is the one who is not offended by my" (23). So that raises the question, Do we believe in Christ as the one who came from heaven? The One who died for the sins of the world? Through who God spoke and reveled himself in who He is? A questions that should be a challenge everyone who could reason and think, but lets reason and think in the midst of what He did.

Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scripture

For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures , that he was buried , that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles. Last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared also to me. For I am the least of the apostles, unworthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them, though it was not I, but the grace of God that is with me. Whether then it was I or they, so we preach and so you believed. (1 Corinthians 15:3)

The Last Moments of Christopher Hitchens life

Christopher Hitchens is one of the leading atheist of our times, they call it the new atheism now. He also is the author of a book, “God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything,” that was just recently released; heavily opposing religion and any idea that God exist. But right now Mr Hitchens is in his last stages of the esophageal cancer. The New Your Time describes his last moments of life like this: “Some of these articles were written with the full consciousness that they might be my very last. Sobering in one way and exhilarating in another, this practice can obviously never become perfected.” Another words, Hitchens has little time left. Smoking and drinking was something that Hitchens needed to quit, life was more important then the pleasures of these habits, not mentioning that he had a feeding tube installed since June. He had power in articulating his worldview to others, the ideas, but were these thoughts the reality of our world? You could notice that Mr Hi

The Goodness of God and the Presence of Evil

Often skeptics of the Bible, pose a question: If God were all-powerful, he would have had ability to prevent evil. If God were all-good, he would have desired to prevent evil. So if God were both all-powerful and all good, there would have been no evil. But there is evil. Therefore, an all-powerful and all-good God does not exist. How can such a God exist, since there are so many children who are murdered every day? How can this God exist, when innocent girls get raped? The matter to be told, everyone has his own definition of evil. For example, some would say, murdering children after they are born is evil, yet murdering children while the baby is still in the womb is not. In fact, killing babies inside of a mother’s womb has been legalized and become socially accepted. Definition of Evil Most people who attempt to answer the problem of evil, define evil according to their own experiences. Overtime, a perspective on the definition of evil is formed, and most people reject
