Yet again the list maker is misrepresenting a passage. T'hillim / Psalm 100 is מִזְמוֹר לְתוֹדָה / "Mizmor Le'Todah," a song to be sung at the time of לְתוֹדָה / the "Todah" ("thanksgiving") offering to G-d. See Vayikra / Leviticus 7:12: "If it is offered as a thanksgiving offering. . ." The psalm is about G-d, and thanking G-d -- and in line 5 we are told that G-d's character is good. "For the L-rd is good; His kindness is forever, and until generation after generation is His faith." T'hillim / Psalm 100:5. The L-rd is good. Not Jesus. Not the messiah. Do you see the word messiah there? How about "prophecy"? The deceit of the list maker is truly outlandish. One must conclude that the list maker never expected anyone to check the claims -- especially 135 "claims" into the list! Matthew 19:16-17 says "Just then a man came up to Jesus and asked, “Teacher, what good thing must I do to get eternal life?” “Why do you ask me about what is good?” Jesus replied. “There is only One who is good. If you want to enter life, keep the commandments.”
This claim is about as bald faced a lie as any in the list. Even Jesus in the Christian bible refutes the list maker! This psalm emphasizes the importance of joy in the service of G-d. It famously declares, "עִבְדוּ אֶת (השם) בְּשִׂמְחָה" – "Serve G-d with joy" (T'hillim / Psalm 100:2).
