Why?
Even Jesus believed God was speaking in the OT
So does he not believe in himself?
Anyways,
Anybody can say what God “told them” and they never will be able to prove it
People writing about Jesus life and what he said/did is close as you’ll get to having proof in any religion.
If you can’t even believe in Jesus, how hard is it then to believe in God
Unless, of course, he challenges your idea of God simply by existing
Anybody can say another man did something just as you say anybody can say God told them. They're both claims. The only difference is, the claim of Jesus tries to bounce off the claims of the prophets. The claims of the prophets stand on their own. Anyways, Imma bring facts over you bringing your feelings. This is what the NT uses to validate Jesus being who he said he was:
Matthew 2
13 When they had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream. “Get up,” he said, “take the child and his mother and escape to Egypt. Stay there until I tell you, for Herod is going to search for the child to kill him.”
14 So he got up, took the child and his mother during the night and left for Egypt, 15 where he stayed until the death of Herod. And so was fulfilled what the Lord had said through the prophet: “Out of Egypt I called my son.”c]">[
c]
Here its saying that Jesus escaping to Egypt was to fulfill a prophecy. But lets go to the verse and see what its saying:
Hosea 11
When Israel was a child, I loved him,
and out of Egypt I called my son.
2 But the more they were called,
the more they went away from me.a]">[
a]
They sacrificed to the Baals
and they burned incense to images.
The verse isnt even a prophesy but is speaking about a past event that already happened. Yet the NT takes the verse out of context to make it about Jesus. And I know I can say this and you'll bring back some more emotion filled posts. I dont want to see that. Give me information I can digest or keep it moving...
