Yeshua Adonai -Just Because One Chooses Not to Believe Does Not Make Him Disappear

True to form, reader Bala has lined up with the many myriad ideologies of modern context, trying once again to use a divergent opinion to underscore that there is no desire of those of the same opinion to recognize that their base humanity is corrupt and the need for a Savior is as real as it was from the beginning. One might be able to trace its roots to the humanist/Hellenist Jewish ideology of ages past, yet it fails for the simple facts of the reality: even in Roman literature there is an acknowledge that Yeshua existed.

Now, since it is a Biblically explicit that free moral choices are imputed to mankind, Bala is certainly entitled to any opinion of choice; but I would be re miss to explain that such an error will cost more than the free choice for its consequences. In the face of the historical record, and of the circumstances that even the other monotheistic religion of the Middle Eastern region recognizes the existence of the historical Yeshua, though in a different cast of irreconcilable differences.

Just because one chooses not to believe does not make an automatic rule of non-existence. The Person of HaMashiach does not get its roots from the Greeks, nor even the early times of the children of Israel, though certainly the more descriptive prophetic calls for His relationship to the children of Israel are depicted in the Prophets. Dismiss them if one chooses; just be ready for disappointment when the time comes to make some kind of justification to the One to whom all must eventually face for their belief or disbelief.
