Interesting question, and something I've not really thought about before. Do you know, is there a list somewhere of "all" the messianic prophecies that one could refer to? And I am supposing that those are the prophecies as understood in the Jewish faith, rather than by Christians.No, but try to convince me he did anyway.
I agree, but not the direction of the thread.That he fits so badly is one of the best arguments for the existence of Jesus the man.

Wow, I never thought of that. Thanks for noting it.That he fits so badly is one of the best arguments for the existence of Jesus the man.
Ok. Lets begin with Abraham the prophet through whom all nations will be blessed. How do we know this is true? Its because of the Jewish History, right? Therefore we are convinced that the promise to Abraham will be fulfilled. It seems like Christians should be able to know whether or not Jesus is the messiah by a similar method. So we look backward in time and then based upon that decide whether to go forward. This is called 'Eyes of faith'. **edit: probably should be called Eyes of Hard Work** So the proof that Jesus is the messiah exists in the future, and our limited knowledge of it is based upon what Jesus has done already. If this is not the kind of proof you seek, then I wonder what proof you have that Abraham is genuine. It goes both ways.No, but try to convince me he did anyway.
I don't think that's true. We know it happens because G-d revealed Himself to us identifying Moses as an absolutely true prophet of His. When Moses wrote it in the Torah, we believe it because we know that Moses is a true prophet of G-d.Ok. Lets begin with Abraham the prophet through whom all nations will be blessed.

I don't think that he did. But let's say that he did.Moses also wrote in Torah, that he died.
Deuteronony 34:5
So Moses the servant of the LORD died

Mythic figures don't write books.

Odd how prophets can tell the future, innit?
Prove Moses did not exist.
