lmao. 1). there is no historical record for jesus--all writings about him are 40 to 50 years after the myths death--meaning there wasn't anyone that was writing from first person knowledge--no records of any sort of any of the miracles etc. It's relatively easy to write that a story fullfilled the propehcy of another story--thats sort of a gimee. Further--how do you explain the same propehcy of mithras and horace?

how is it possible that it was predicted the same year , day and month that the jews would go back to Israel
O i Know Da GOD!
he is perfect in every way ,there are things that the flesh can't do that only the spirit can .
Then, in 1948, the Nation of Israel was officially reinstated by the governments of the world. The Jews started returning in large numbers to their ancient homeland. Since then, the Jewish people have survived major conflicts, culminating in the reclaiming of Jerusalem after the Six-Day War in 1967. Over nearly two millennia without a homeland, the Nation of Israel never lost its national, cultural, or religious identity. It seems the Jewish people have returned to the land promised by God through Abraham.
Not true! Isaiah is talking about Israel - according to the Jews who actually wrote the damn thing. So, yeah, I dismiss your interpretation of the prophecy - now what are you going to do?
When you also add that Daniel chapter 9 tells us when he would start his ministry and when he would die it makes a convincing argument. To reasonable people I mean
