Christian/Muslim ThreadsIs Jesus Really God?Proves please!!! And why did the descendants of Abraham in the Holy Bible choose a stone to perform their religious service on or around it? (Genesis 28:10-22; Genesis 35; Genesis 31:45-55). Proves please. And don't cite the miserable site of answering-islam, cos I will cite hundreds of sites similar to answering-christianity. So did Krishna, Mithra, Iao, Dionysus, Quazelcolt, Tammuz, Promethus, Attis, Baal etc.... Just a very tiny example: The virgin birth (Isaiah 7:14) This verse is part of a prophecy that Isaiah relates to King Ahaz regarding the fate of the two kings threatening Judah at that time and the fate of Judah itself. In the original Hebrew, the verse says that a "young woman" (almah) will give birth, not a "virgin" (Bethulah) which is an entirely different Hebrew word. The young woman became a virgin only when the Hebrew word was mistranslated into Greek. This passage has nothing to do with Jesus (who, if this prophecy did apply to him, should have been named Immanuel instead of Jesus). The "slaughter of the innocents" (Jeremiah 31:15) Matthew says that Herod, in an attempt to kill the newborn Messiah, had all the male children two years old and under put to death in Bethlehem and its environs, and that this was in fulfillment of prophecy. This is a pure invention on Matthew's part. Luke didn't mention this fabulous tragedy. Herod was guilty of many monstrous crimes, including the murder of several members of his own family. However, ancient historians such as Josephus, who delighted in listing Herod's crimes, do not mention what would have been Herod's greatest crime by far. It simply didn't happen. The context of Jeremiah 31:15 makes it clear that the weeping is for the Israelites about to be taken into exile in Babylon, and has nothing to do with slaughtered children hundreds of years later. Called out of Egypt (Hosea 11:1) Matthew has Mary, Joseph and Jesus fleeing to Egypt to escape Herod, and says that the return of Jesus from Egypt was in fulfillment of prophecy (Matthew 2:15). However, Matthew quotes only the second half of Hosea 11:1. The first half of the verse makes it very clear that the verse refers to God calling the Israelites out of Egypt in the exodus led by Moses, and has nothing to do with Jesus. Thank you Alexei |
