What about this concept of a Messiah? As I see it these are some examples:
1. Bar Kochba, et al led to the destruction of Israel
2. Ghost Dancers got slaughtered by the Calvary
3. Modern Messiahs include Heaven's Gate Kavid Koresh, etc.
4. I did have some more...

What good has a Messiah ever done?

He died for your & my sins.

He also rose from the dead so we could be restored for His good will & purposes.

If you read the Bible you would know the manner of love the Father bestowed upon humanity. More than can be posted here. :smile:

no good what so ever.
There have been countless messiahs and none of them proved to worth anything.
except something for the scared and uneducated to cling onto.
So I guess if it them some false hope then o.k. but as soon as they try to clumsily push their superstition onto the freethinking public then it becomes a problem, but if they keep it themselves and contain their prayers and chants to their homes or their superstitionariums then fine.
