Document Summary
The messiah is not a divine being in judaism. The messiah has to do with restoring independence to israel. No the messiah will reinstate this promise. Christianity belief system based on propositions based on jesus. Belief is a central concept/component of christianity. Belief is intensified by the protestant reformation. Other religions recognize actions as the center of their religions, not what you believe. While judaism and islam do care about what you believe, they focus on how your beliefs manifest in your everyday life. There is nothing in the pentateuch about what to believe. Claim of christians: jesus is the messiah (christ) Messiah/christ literally means someone who has had oil poured on their head. The problem with jesus being the messiah is that he didn"t restore a descendant of david to the throne. Second coming jesus will do it later. Most are responses to letters we don"t have. Wrote 13 of the 27 books of the new testament.
