continuation of
Did They Write About Jesus in the Law, the Prophets, and the Psalms?.
in this thread, i would like to discuss ONLY the following list of prophesies, in regards to their context, subject, and whether or not they can (or do) apply to jesus. i would also like to mention that i am open minded about this set, and have not made up my mind yet. i will bring up the next set at moderator discretion.
faith writes:
The Messiah will be born in Bethlehem Micah 5:2 Matthew 2:1 and Luke 2:4-7
The Messiah will enter the Temple with authority Malachi 3:1 Matthew 21:12 and Luke 19:45
in the last thread we already covered every other prophesy and non-prophesy on faith's list to my total satisfaction, save for the ones in isaiah. but there is to be NO discussion whatsoever about isaiah 7:14, from either side. i'd like to get the stuff we missed arguing over virginity.
according to jar's suggestion, we're just gonna start with these two (micah and malachi), and then we'll move on to the isaiah verses, which i'm confident may actually apply. we'll probably take those one at a time.
new testament fulfillment is not to be discussed unless we establish the plausibility of the application to jesus beforehand. we are analyzing strictly the old testament texts, and what they are referring to first and foremost, and then seeing if they can apply to jesus, or if they really apply to something else, and were used as later influences on the nt authors.
if we exhaust each of these specific prophesies, continuation of the thread with others is up to moderator discussion.
(bible, accuracy/inerrancy please. just like the last one, this is not a debate of faith but scholarship)
