How does Christianity justify the claim that Jesus is the Messiah?
According to the prophecy of Isaiah, the Messiah has to meet three conditions: (1) descend from King David, (2) rule over the Jews in Jerusalem, and (3) bring about a period of global peace.
As far as I can tell, Jesus fulfilled none of these. (2) and (3), Christianity says, will be fulfilled in the Second Coming. But, even if one accepts this IOU, what about (1)? Joseph, although a descendant of King David, was not the father of Jesus (according to Christianity itself). So, how is Jesus a descendant of King David?

1 AnswerBeer, Wine & Spirits9 years agoPier fishing at Pillar Point Harbor?
Hello,
I'd like to try this, and have the following questions:
(1) What are the most common fish sought by pier anglers on Johnson Pier? (According to the info online, they are perch and flounder. Any other experiences?)
(2) Are there places near Johnsons Pier that rent fishing gear for this? Most of the stores I can find online focus on fishing boat trips, and say nothing about renting poles, reels, and leaders.
(3) What fish are best to target pier fishing in October?
Thanks much.
