That's a start.
HA HA HA!, Suddenly you are quoting historians, who all this time are corrupt, bias, atheists? Wow, all over the map, like most apologists.
There are at least 30 sitting scholars who recognize mythicism is plausible now.
No historian says Jesus was a human Rabbi who was...
All religions have healing stories and these rituals cause adrenaline and such and it kills pain and gives all kinds of good feelings.
But JDC, Bible historian said it nicely:
"
I have visited Lourdes in France and Fatima in Portugal, healing shrines of the Christian Virgin Mary. I have also...
Here are a few passages worth comparing:
A Stranger:
'I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother's children' [Psalms 69:8]
'He came unto his own and his own received him not' [John 1:11; John 7:3,5]
A Stumbling Stone:
'A stone of stumbling and a rock of offence to...
Indeed I have. It's about the Suffering Servant, the nation of Israel. That Christians centuries later want to turn it into their own fable is their problem, not the Tanakh's.
For that you'd need a real messiah, one who was a leader and liberator of the Jews and anointed by the Jewish...
47 Old Testament Verses About Jesus as Messiah
Prophecies of Jesus Old Testament
Scripture New Testament
Fulfillment
1 Messiah would be born of a woman. Genesis 3:15 Matthew 1:20
Galatians 4:4
2 Messiah would be born in
Bethlehem. Micah 5:2 Matthew 2:1
Luke 2:4-6
3 Messiah would be
born of...
Baha'u'llah has said the Prophecies are filled by all the Messengers, though outwardly not all appear to have been realised.
Thus if you do the same comparisons with knowledge of what Muhammad, the Bab or Baha'u'llah taught, likewise you could insert passages from their writings in the same...
Isaiah 53 as Fulfilled by Christ
Isaiah 53:1. Who hath believed our report?
John 12:37. Yet they believed not on Him.
Isaiah 53:1. To whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?
Luke 10:21. Thou hast revealed them unto babes.
Isaiah 53:2. He shall grow up before Him as a tender plant.
John 15:1. I am...
Yep, the details matter. Should be the next popular catch slogan. Here is another example of the "cross" in scripture from another typology - Samson:
Samson; Judges 16.
Samson carrying bars of the Gate at Gaza, old mosaic.
Just as Samson, representing Jesus as deliverer, was born...
Yes, I am showing that the "Cross" pattern is all throughout the scriptures, even if you use the NWT it is there, for mankind cannot alter what God has done:
Let's consider another typology in the life of Moses and Joshua:
Moses and Joshua, Aaron and Hur; Exodus 17.
Exodus 17:9 KJB - And...
Indeed Indigo we follow a different path so we will not agree but can agree to disagree :).
I agree with you and the examples you have provided that some people or religions only see what they want to see and close their eyes to what the scriptures teach but this is something we must not...
The inescapable "pattern":
[2] Samson; Judges 16. Read the whole chapter here (saves space) - Judges 16:16 (KJV)
[A.] Just as Samson, representing Jesus as deliverer, was born specially, by promise from God, to a woman which could not bare, and he was to be filled with the Holy Ghost, and to...
The "pattern" (which Jews and Muslims continue to flee from), throughout the whole of scripture, that is inescapable:
John 5:39 KJB - Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
Psalms 40:7 KJB - Then said I, Lo, I come: in the...
You make some very bold statements here, Rosends. So you think that Jesus 'lacked the personal and theological qualifications delineated, and did not, in his actions, fulfill the role.'?
Well, please go ahead and show me where, in scripture, he is shown to lack the qualifications.
Meanwhile...
You are making all sorts of unwarranted assumptions.
1. Scripture - that's circular reasoning and proves nothing.
2. Who could He be? - perhaps he wasn't anyone at all.
3. The tomb - an unknown tomb for an unknown person ... goes back to those unreliable scriptures, poor evidence at best.'...
-A liar
-A delusional psychotic
-Someone who never made claims of Messiahship
-A great spiritual soul, not fully understood.
-The one true Messiah, the Christ come into the world
Also,
-just an average Joe who did none of these things
-a fictional character
-a radical Rabbi that was painted...
Please consider that to the average atheist, making a point by quoting the Bible, will sort the same effect as on the average a-MickeyMousist when quoting Walt Disney.

Many of the prophecies are shaky. One of the most forced for me is Isaiah's. A child predicted to be a sign for King Ahaz becomes the Messiah? And born of a virgin? Not a Messianic prophecy to anyone but Christians. Several other forced prophecies have to make a person question and doubt the...
:alien: as you started to point out first
about scriptures
meaning
its a scriptural facts ... .
as it is written carefully check
every detail on it
and kindly correct us if we are wrong

Acts 11:18
When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then has God...
Well this is a fun 'the bible is true because the bible says so' thread.
I frankly can't wrap my mind how such feeble circular nonsense could convince anyone of anything.
Lets say Jesus fulfilled all these nifty prophecies. How is it no one seems to know about it except the small handful of people who wrote the gospels? There are no eyewitness accounts of the existence of Jesus outside of the New Testament.
