Prophecies Regarding Jesus Birth and Identity:
-Birth in Bethlehem (Micah 5:2): The prophet Micah predicted the Messiah would be born in Bethlehem Ephrathah. This was fulfilled when Jesus was born there during the reign of Herod (Matthew 2:1, Luke 2:4-6).
-Born of a Virgin (Isaiah 7:14): Isaiah foretold that a virgin would conceive and bear a son, called Immanuel ("God with us"). This was fulfilled in the miraculous conception of Jesus by Mary (Matthew 1:18-23, Luke 1:26-35).
-Lineage of David (2 Samuel 7:12-13, Isaiah 11:1-3): Prophecies specified the Messiah would be a descendant of Jesse and King David, inheriting an everlasting kingdom. The New Testament establishes Jesus's genealogy through both Joseph and Mary (Romans 1:1-3, Matthew 1:1).

Prophecies Regarding Ministry and Character:
-Ministry in Galilee (Isaiah 9:1-2): Predicted that the land of Zebulun and Naphtali (Galilee) would see a "great light." Jesus began his public ministry in this region (Matthew 4:12-17).
-Performing Miracles (Isaiah 35:5-6): Isaiah predicted that the Messiah would open the eyes of the blind, unstop the ears of the deaf, and cause the lame to walk. Jesus fulfilled this throughout his ministry (Matthew 9:5, 11:5).
-Entry on a Donkey (Zechariah 9:9): The prophet Zechariah described a king entering Jerusalem lowly and riding on a donkey. Jesus fulfilled this during the Triumphal Entry (Matthew 21:5-11, Luke 19:35-37).
Prophecies Regarding Betrayal and Death:
-Betrayed by a Friend for 30 Pieces of Silver (Psalm 41:9, Zechariah 11:12-13): The Psalmist predicted betrayal by a close friend, and Zechariah specified the price (30 pieces of silver) and that the money would be thrown to a potter in the Temple. Judas Iscariot fulfilled this (Matthew 26:14-16, 27:3-10).
-Silent Before Accusers (Isaiah 53:7): The "Suffering Servant" would be oppressed but not open his mouth. Jesus remained silent during his trials before Pilate (Mark 15:5, Matthew 27:12-14).
-Hands and Feet Pierced (Psalm 22:16):Written centuries before crucifixion was used by Romans, this psalm described the piercing of the hands and feet. This was fulfilled during the crucifixion (John 20:25-27).
-No Bones Broken (Exodus 12:46, Psalm 34:20): Similar to the Passover lamb, it was prophesied that none of the righteous one's bones would be broken. Soldiers broke the legs of the criminals next to Jesus, but not his (John 19:31-36).
-Gambling for Garments (Psalm 22:18):Predicted that enemies would divide his clothes and cast lots for them. Roman soldiers did this at the cross (John 19:23-24).

Prophecies Regarding Resurrection:
-Resurrection from the Dead: (Psalm 16:10, Isaiah 53:10-12): David prophesied that the Holy One would not see decay or remain in the grave. Jesus's resurrection is the central fulfillment of this (Acts 2:29-32, Mark 16:6).
-Ascension and Session (Psalm 110:1):Predicted the Messiah would sit at the right hand of God. Jesus ascended and took his place in heaven (Mark 16:19, Hebrews 10:12-13).

@i_falade@MasterMaliq Blaspheming the Holy Spirit is what everyone has to worry about. & saying f you HS isn’t blaspheming the Holy Spirit rather it’s the life you live not what you profess to others.
@MasterMaliq Bible calls those quick to anger fools. Many of us are fools at times. I have this inside joke with my little sister that whenever she gets mad for whatever I call her a fool & she laughs because she knows the context of the verse lol
The way some people blaspheme Jesus, imagine if Christians responded by killing people over every insult against him.
Yet, people have been killed over accusations of blasphemy against Muhammad.
We have a lot to learn from those who choose restraint over violence.
No prophet's honour is worth a human life.
1 God who is multi personal eternally, consubstantial & only the Person of the Son became flesh but that’s Still God becoming Flesh as the Son is one with the Father & HolySpirit in a Unique eternally way. It’s 1 God no matter how hard you yell 3. You just want God to be simple and not Triune as no one can fully comprehend God But at least explain our true beliefs instead of yelling 3 Gods which no true Christian believes. If you understand the meaning of God being Love & how we can know God loves us with all the evil & suffering in the world you’d understand the Trinity, God revealed in Jesus Christ makes the most sense.
Rabbi Ephraim Padwa, the man who leads the Strictly Orthodox jewish community in London's Stamford Hill. He is seen telling a man who says he was s*xually abused as a child by a member of this community, that he must not report his claim to the police. He says that this is 'Mesira', meaning that it is forbidden for one jew to report a fellow jew to the authorities as they are goyim.
@BruceSaiFun@ApostateProphet@Acts17David Sam I love you bro but make your points on Zionism to David & ApostateProphet without insults though! We all know the synagogue of Satan is real & rules this world, we know the Jews are no longer chosen to lead by example & that Jews who deny that Jesus is the Messiah have the
“If the Quran is a created text, how is that reconcilable with God not being like anything created?”
“I don’t see any difficulty saying that the Quran is a representation of the thoughts of God”.
@MasterMaliq Let me pose another question that relates to this, was Jesus really crucified as history tells us? Or was he not & what’s the historical evidence that he was not crucified?
He should’ve called out David without the insults. We (United States) are at war arguably because of Israel & bibi says anyone saying free Palestine that’s equivalent of saying heil hitler. That’s arguably a threat to our freedom of speech & our soldiers for another country. Not just a threat to Muslims which I’m also against sharia law over our constitution.
