Even if you could demonstrate that what was written came true (which you haven't) it could have been made up after the fact to be self-fulfilling.
The Christian text wasn't made up after Christianity came about....
Clearly it had to be made up before it; yet you'd think someone would notice the blatant contradictions, and people would have discerned it false, rather than them go along with the prophecies, proving many people are illogical.
how can you base your prophecy claim on those same texts?
Because there are many different authors within the same book, stemming over thousands of years, and they're all making specific predictions that have come to pass.
Fair enough each one could have made it up, and it is some amazing brainwashing, that people are not intelligent enough to see; yet how can the real events predicted have happened?
You're either making a point that religious texts are unreliable or you're making a point that religious texts contain prophecy.
To me that is a totally illogical way of looking at life in general; that is like saying because a politician tells some things that are truthful, everything they say must be true.
You do know that eyewitnesses make things up right?
Of course, and they will fill in gaps, if they can't remember the events they perceived happened.
The wild claim here is that the Gospels were written by eyewitnesses with the agenda of accuracy.
Who said anything about accuracy, they're awful testimonies, as we'd expect from eye witnesses; not from a group of scholars trying to create a religion.
The likelihood that they were written as communal affairs to promote an agenda
The actual authors accounts are like reading a tabloid newspaper, each has its own spin on events...
Yet the testimonies of Yeshua interlink with the Tanakh very precisely, and comes from a unique intelligence that only someone who had advanced knowledge of all things written, and how it would evolve, could have spoken it so precisely, as there is too much consistency....
Unfortunately all the basic mistakes by the authors, actually blinds many to not examining the case provided.
Fair enough willing to question did some team of scholars create this character of Yeshua, and fit it with everything in prophecy; if that was the case why is everyone oblivious to it?
Why have prophecies that literally divorced Israel, had them massacred, then persecuted from nation to nation, and continuing to do so...
So that would make no sense the Jews made it up to torture themselves.
If Christians had made it up, according to all prophecy, they're to be removed from reality for being hypocrites; so that makes no sense they made it up to show that they're illogical.
If a group of elite Essenes made it up to prove that the Pharisees were evil, and to establish who was unworthy, why cause the whole world to go opposite to their own belief system?
Some people think the Roman Empire made it up, and that the Flavians want to create themselves as rulers; yet Rome didn't adopt Christianity until over 200 years later, and again it doesn't make sense to deceive the whole world by showing them to be hypocrites as is the prophecy...
Why not only keep the texts that suit the Roman Empire, and not include the Synoptic Gospels?
Please clarify who you think made these texts up?
