he fulfill the Hebrew prophecies? I mean, saying “Jesus fulfilled the Old Testament prophecies,” isn’t really saying much. The OT is a translation of Hebrew Scriptures with which Hebrew people themselves don’t agree. Just one example; the Hebrew prophecies talk of the messiah being born of a ‘young woman.’ It doesn’t say anything about virgin birth; the virgin birth myth is something that the Christians added to their myth, probably because their myth was in competition with other myths going around at the time like Mithras and Horus. So if you hear a Christian saying, “Jesus fulfilled the Hebrew Scriptures;” that’s saying something, but you probably won’t ever hear a Christian say that. Do you think it’s because Christians know that the Hebrew Scriptures relating to the messiah don’t back up the Christian translation of those scriptures?
 
There is only one prophecy that Jesus needed to fulfill. Taking our sins to the cross and rising from the dead on the third day. And He has done this.
 
Are your eyebrows growing together?


The "mithra" myth says nothing about "mithra" being born of a "virgin birth"; the only surviving stone reliefs left show him being helped out of a rock by two humans and surrounded by the signs of the zodiac.

So much for "mithra' being the "creator" of mankind and having "12 disciples" then, huh?


Besides, the "mithra" myth that most of your ilk sadly attempt to draw parallels with between it and Christianity isn't even based on the older Persian "mitra" cult; it's from the 2nd century AD Roman military cult, and it's been shunned as nonsense by all respectable historians everywhere as a "parallel" gospel account of the birth and life of Christ.
 
young women were known in the time as maiden, or damsel and other also virgin
 
You're not making sense. Jesus was not a myth. And the Jews failed to recognize him as the Messiah because they lacked sufficient knowledge and light as a result of their inequities. Read Matthew chapter 13. It's not a matter of fulfilling OT prophecies, which he did. It is that the laws of Moses were done away with and in Jesus. Anyway, you are nit-picking. Why do the prophecies have to specify a virgin rather than just a young woman? Honestly, don't you have better things to do?
 
According to the programme "Christianity: A History" (from a Jewish perspective) on Channel 4 the other night, he didn't fulfill the Old Testament or Hebrew prophecies at all.
 
Only the Holy Ghost can tell you what is truth, Christians are to rely on the Holy Spirit to guide them to truth, so the Bible is not even needed whereas many lived without a Bible, such as Adam, Abraham and many others, but the BIble was written for our comfort and the Holy Ghost must be present to even understand the Bible, let alone know what is a personal desire of the Authors...

Christian Scriptures were written in Greek and are the New Testament of 27 Books, of which one was written to the Hebrews.

The Old Testament was written in Hebrew and foretold the Christ.
 
I'm fairly sure that Christianity didn't have any competition from Egyptian religion. Horus was never transplanted to anywhere near where Christianity was. His parents' (Osiris and Isis) cult was, but not Horus'. And Mithras was only popular amongst the Roman soldiers and slaves and immigrants. Both Horus and Mithras don't have any similarities with Christ; there was no virgin birth for either of them, they didn't have twelve disciples, or any of the other misinformation that people keep spewing. The Horus/Jesus connection was essentially made up by a bunch of Theosophists who managed to perpetuate their half-truths. The www.religioustolerance.org Horus/Jesus facts are drawn from a book that is based very much on the Theosophy misinformation.
