What evidence for Bible inspiration emerges when we compare Old Testament prophecies of the coming Messiah with New Testament happenings in the life of Jesus?

The Bible says, "And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, He [Jesus] expounded unto them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself." Luke 24:27. "For he [Apollos] vigorously refuted the Jews publicly, showing from the Scriptures that Jesus is the Christ." Acts 18:28, NKJV.*

Answer: The Old Testament predictions of the Messiah to come were so specific and so clearly fulfilled by Jesus of Nazareth that both Jesus and Apollos used these prophecies to prove to the Jews that Jesus was, indeed, the Messiah. There are more than 125 of these prophecies. Let's review just 12 of them:

Prophecy Old Testament Scripture New Testament Fulfillment
1. Born in Bethlehem Micah 5:2 Matthew 2:1
2. Born of a virgin Isaiah 7:14 Matthew 1:18-23
3. Of David's lineage Jeremiah 23:5 Revelation 22:16
4. Attempted murder by Herod Jeremiah 31:15 Matthew 2:16-18
5. Betrayal by a friend Psalms 41:9 John 13:18, 19, 26
6. Sold for 30 silver coins Zechariah 11:12 Matthew 26:14-16
7. Crucified Zechariah 12:10 John 19:16-18, 37
8. Lots cast for His clothes Psalms 22:18 Matthew 27:35
9. No bones broken Psalms 34:20; Exodus 12:46 John 19:31-36
10. Buried in rich man's tomb Isaiah 53:9 Matthew 27:57-60
11. Year, day, hour of His death Daniel 9:26, 27; Exodus 12:6 Matthew 27:45-50
12. Raised the third day Hosea 6:2 Acts 10:38-40



Jesus fullfilled more than 125 Old Testament prophecies concerning the Messiah.

Dr. Peter Stoner, former chairman of the departments of mathematics, astronomy, and engineering at Pasadena College (California), worked with 600 students for several years applying the "principle of probability" to the prophecies of the Messiah's coming. They chose just eight from the many available and finally decided the chances of all eight being fulfilled in one man in a lifetime is one in 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000. What would the odds be on the more than 125 prophecies of the Messiah? It couldn't just happen!

While all religions have traditionally given women second class status, what is it about islam that allows its men to force their women to wear bhurkas, stone them to death for infidelity (something their men need never fear) and perform clitoral circumcisions so that they will not enjoy sex?

VanGoghs gran nephew was working on a film detailing these and other atrocities commited by islam against women before he was stabbed 12 times and had his throat slit by muslims on the streets of Amsterdam.

What is the connection between psychic ability and magick?

Does being psychic automatically make you a witch or magician?

Can you be a witch or magician if you have no psychic talents?

I know some reasons for these, but hearing it from other (serious answering) people would really push it into my mind and prevent doubts. Most of my spellwork doesn't work because I have doubts sometime in the middle of the spell.

Thanks in advance! :D

What evidence of Bible inspiration is found in the lives of people?


Accepting Christ and obeying Scripture changes a drunken, immoral, profane sinner into a loving, sober, pure Christian. Skeptics cannot explain this fact.
The Bible says, "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." 2 Corinthians 5:17.

Answer: The changed lives of those who follow Jesus and obey Scripture constitute the most heartwarming proof of Bible inspiration. The drunkard becomes sober; the immoral, pure; the addicted, free; the profane, reverent; the fearful, courageous; and the rude, kind.

Christians have an inner joy and peace that others do not possess.






An American skeptic was visiting an island whose natives were originally cannibals. When he spotted an old man reading the Bible, he ridiculed him for reading a book "full of myths which had already been exposed." The native smiled at him and said, "My friend, be grateful we do believe this book. Otherwise, we would be serving you for dinner." The Bible really does change people, and this amazing fact confirms its inspiration.

Ok so ive been asking questions to see peoples response to danger when the one guy is either physically more powerful or better armed. To sum it up i find it interesting that most responses revolved around either killing the other or rendering them unable to fight. So how is it when Israel being more heavily armed then Hezbollah. Israel are considered the agressors and the ones that need to stop the agression towards Hezbollah because hezbollah being of a weaker stature can not directly confront Israeli Army and end up hiding in towns and Cities within population centers to fire rockets at Israel? Isael is all of a sudden not allowed to use their bigger bombs? And is it not the fault of Hezbollah that citizens are in the way since that is where they choose to fight?

In the book of 1 Corinthians we are warned to "Flee sexual immorality" and that "know you not that when you lie with a woman you leave a piece of yourself with her?"

It's true!

Oxytocin, known as the human bonding chemical is said to be 10 times higher in women than men and that the only time a man has equal amounts of this chemical is after having sex.

Hence why "make up sex" is important for men because it helps them bond with their wife after an argument.

Studies show that bad relationships may affect our ability to be able to produce this chemical (i.e. trust issues) and that by having sex with someone outside of marriage causes you to bond more with them than with your husband/wife.

Once again, science has proven the Bible right.

Here are a few links that discuss this further regarding thermodynamics, physics, medicine, etc.
