...given in the Old Testament.? It was prophesied that a Savior would be born of a virgin. He would be born in a manger. He would be worshiped by wise men and shepherds. He would die on a Cross. He would rise from the dead. He would ascend into heaven. People believed in the "Savior that WOULD come in the future and they were forgiven for their sins because of their faith in Him. They would die before He was born; but their faith in His "future" birth would be counted for righteousness and they would be saved. Today we believe in Him and we never saw Him either; but we also believe the Bible and are saved by our faith. Also, people who are in jungles/third world countries can receive revelation from God about salvation through the Power of the Holy Spirit even though they may not ever see a Bible. God has the Power to make His Presence and Existence known. Why must you attempt to limit the Power of God to enlighten people?
Old Testament written between 1450 BC and 430 BC and Resurrection: Psalms 16:10,11. fulfilled Matthew 28:5-9; Crucifixion: Psalms 22, fulfilled Matthew 27:34-50; Virgin Birth: Isaiah; fulfilled Matthew 1:18-25. These are a few but if you just google Messianic Prophecies you will see them all.
 
God r@ped Mary, and Mary looks like Isis and Jesus like Horus. That doesnt bother you? Or at least make you curious? I wonder about christians.

Oh and most atheist are something called Ex Christians. (yeah I know the excuse They Werent Real Christians) whatever
 
The truth defeats the lies they wish to maintain so they can continue to live without accountability. Proverbs 10:28 God Bless
 
1. Provide Bible quotes for those prophecies. You haven't provided even one so there's no way to take you seriously.
2. Many of those prophecies never came true. It was also prophesied that the messiah would be physically deformed, to such a degree that people would refuse to believe him. Where in the New Testament does it talk about that?

Isaiah 53: Who has believed our message
and to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?
2 He grew up before him like a tender shoot,
and like a root out of dry ground.
He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him,
nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.
3 He was despised and rejected by mankind,
a man of suffering, and familiar with pain.
Like one from whom people hide their faces
he was despised, and we held him in low esteem.
 
Do you have any proof that any of those so called prophecies have actually happened???
 
You are indoctrinated past the point of no return I'm afraid. No going back for you is there
 
It's not a prophecy if it was written later. It's not the fulfillment of a prophecy if the story was written decades or centuries later TO FIT THE PROPHECY. It's not miraculous if someone writes a prophecy in a book then fulfills it in the same book. Because Trelawney prophesized the defeat of Voldemort by a boy born at the end of July of parents that had thrice thwarted Volde, is it any miracle that the prophecy comes true IN THE SAME STORY?

You went to special camps or vacation bible school at a VERY early age didn't you?
 
It was also prophesied that a child would come, born of the Force, to once again bring balance to the Force. Anakin Skywalker fulfilled this prophecy. Why can't you see the significance of this prophecy coming true?
 
"we also believe the Bible and are saved by our faith." Faith is belief without evidence. It is another word for gullibility. You accept, as true, whatever you want to believe, regardless of it is true or not. Believing something by faith means you don't have an intelligent reason to believe what you believe. Thus, your question about the "mental block" is mute. It is you, the believer, who is putting up a mental block.

I care if my beliefs are true. I care if my beliefs can hold up against investigation and scrutiny. The Bible horribly fails under investigation and scrutiny. Most of the prophecies you mentioned, especially those mentioned in Matthew, are obvious forgeries and misrepresentations of the Old Testament. The Bible is demonstrably a cultural text, edited, written, and rewritten by humans, for humans, as a means to an end.

"people who are in jungles/third world countries can receive revelation from God about salvation through the Power of the Holy Spirit even though they may not ever see a Bible" Nice claim. Now, where's the evidence?

"Why must you attempt to limit the Power of God to enlighten people?" I don't limit the power of any supernatural being. I'm simply not convinced that there is any such being that has the power in the first place.
 
IN "THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING", IT WAS PROPHESIED THAT ARAGORN WOULD RETURN AS KING OF GONDOR AND UNITE ALL MEN. IN "THE RETURN OF THE KING", THAT VERY THING HAPPENED.

IT'S ALL TRUE!
 
Oldest trick in the book.

Make A) numerous B) vague "predictions," you can guarantee that someone will correlate them with future events retrospectively and say "wow, it got that right," even though the actual predictive power of said numerous and vague predictions was precisely ZERO.

And thats not even considering the easily predictable predictions, or that given enough time, something WILL tally with what was written.
 
1. You need to cite all those.

2. How come you ask atheists when the Jews themselves
deny that Jesus Christ was their messiah? o.O
 
Oh for fuck sake. I'm sorry I'm going to be rude here but what mental malfunction is preventing you from seeing that this is circular reasoning? You've already had this explained to you. You cannot use the NT to prove the OT any more than you can use one Harry Potter novel to prove it's predecessor. This is circular reasoning, stop using it.
 
The story of Jesus and the so-called prophecy is the same for Osiris, Horus, Odin, Mithras and 20+ pagan gods. The problem is people believed in these gods thousands of years before Christianity came into being. So basically your prophesy is a recycled one.

Good luck with your poor understanding of history. And please learn how to write.
 
Can you show me these prophesies in the old testament please?
