[QUOTE]Originally posted by TSN: [QB] <blockquote>"Of the hundreds of Messianic prophecies in the Old Testament, all of them were fulfilled by Jesus. I've read this in connection to the accusation that Jesus was a con-artist who read the prophecies and then arranged events so that he'd fulfill them. It simply doesn't work. There are many prophecies that were beyond his control that he couldn't influence yet did fulfill."</blockquote> They may have been out of [i]his[/i] control, but they weren't out of the control of the people who wrote the gospels. He didn't fulfill the prophecies because he knew them ahead of time. He fulfilled the prophecies because, after he died, other people [i]said[/i] he'd fulfilled the prophecies. <blockquote>"The Bible does not contradict itself so any apparent contradiction may be the result of twisting or misapplication. "So, if one part of the Bible doesn't fit with another, it's time to go back and look at your original assumption or doctrine. Is it in harmony with the Bible or is it a tradition of man? Was the Bible using literal phrasing, poetry, symbolism, metaphor, illustration or what?"</blockquote> Are you joking? You warn against "twisting" the words of the bible, but then, if someone finds a contradiction, you say "oh, just assume this bit here is a metaphor ; yay, it all works out now!" [/QB][/QUOTE]
