I believe Jesus did fulfill prophecy and at his return he will fulfill the rest. The genealogies differ because one was Joseph's and the other was Mary's. Nothing about Luke and John takes away from the fact he was born in Bethlehem. He was crucified exactly when Daniel predicted. He did perform miracles as recorded in the New Testament by the eyewitnesses. And Jesus is Divine.Java Joe, you are in bold
Consider some of the credentials of Jesus as the Messiah:
Before we get started, he wasn't the messiah. He didn't fulfill anything the messiah was suppose to.
His genealogy was available for all to examine in the House of records and was never questioned by the religious leaders who doubted him.
No, but the scriptures allow us to question it, as Matthew and Luke give varying genealogies.
He was born in Bethlehem, the city of King David, as the Scriptures foretold the Messiah would be (Micah 5:2).
Really, Matthew and Luke say so. But...
Mark 6:1contradicts Matthew by identifying Nazareth as Jesus' birthplace.
John 7:41-43 also contradicts Matthew. It has people in a crowd rejecting Jesus as the Messiah because the Messiah was expected to come from Bethlehem in Judea, whereas Jesus was known to have come from Galilee.
He was born at the right time, as revealed by the precise chronology given by the prophet Daniel, After the sixty-two ‘sevens’ (weeks of years or 434 yrs after temple completed),the Anointed One will be put to death and will have nothing.(Daniel 9:26, see 24-26).
Well that settle it. 62 sevens always means Jesus.
He performed miracles which the Old Testament attributed to the Messiah when he appeared and these miracles were recorded by many eyewitnesses.
Really, many eye witnesses? Care to cite some for me? I think you know this is false.
These along with the many prophecies he fulfilled would indicate that he was indeed the stone the builders rejected, the chief corner stone and foundation of the Christian faith.
No doubt that he was the chief cornerstone of Christianity, but that does not make him divine.
