Re: Why I know Jesus was a success
Here's a test for you:
Go to any book store. Go to the Sci-fi/Fantasy section. Pick out any book with a sword or dragon on the front and read it. Odds are pretty damn good that that book is going to contain a prophecy which will, within the pages of that book, be fulfilled.
Does that mean that Lomax the North Raider is the son of God? Or does it mean that when the authors get to write both the prophecy and the history they can make everything match up as they see fit?
Meh... I get your point but one book by one author is a lot less impressive than the group of books that the Bible is.
The test would be better with something a little more analogous.

Re: Why I know Jesus was a success

So, a group of unknown authors sit with books written centuries before and scribe their books to tally with these books and this is impressive in some way?
More impressive than one author with one book, yes.
I'm not contending his point, I just thought he could have had a more analogous example.

Re: Why I know Jesus was a success
Sound familiar?
If I told you this man is from 500 AD, wouldn't you say that he was the 2nd coming?
Neat. Who is it? Got a link?

Re: Messianic Prophecies of Jesus
There's no reason for me to have to drag this thread on and on regurgitating support which I have already posted.
Simply providing a link to a previous post is hardly regurgitating.
