Did Jesus Really Fulfill Prophecies?

There is an old Jewish Proverb that states the following…

If God lived on earth, people would break His windows…

For those of us who believe in Jesus, we should respond with this statement …

They Did and Let’s Talk About It!

For we know that perhaps you reflect what the Humanistic Jewish rabbi Peter Schweitzer said about many Jewish people’s search for the Messiah –

“Years ago, a popular evangelical bumper sticker read, ‘I Found It.’ The Jewish version would read, ‘I’m still looking for it.’”

Yes … our exploration has arrived at the prophecy section; but this section might surprise as will not take the traditional linear approach that many others have taken that you have seen. We will take a few curves and detours along the way.

Perhaps the exploration will end here for you or perhaps it will give you a place to really dig deeper until you find something or someone that you did not expect to find.

Here are a few thoughts as you go on this exploration journey… Let’s discuss them together and see if we come to the same conclusion or whether we have more to talk about and consider:

• Where does it say the Messiah had to die to atone for anyone’s sins?
• Haven’t Christians taken prophecies/biblical passages out of context?
• Aren’t there a lot of prophecies that Jesus didn’t fulfill?

Remember that if you want to talk about any of these issues that the CAFÉ Kehillah Discussion Board is always open.
