Bible Question:
Tim, That certainly answers the question for me, but what would you tell someone who asked the same question BUT only believes the OT. Person in question believes the Messiah hasn't come yet, and that the NT was written by heretics. With that background information, how would you answer the question? |
Bible Answer: Greetings Huron! It is always tough to cite authority for someone who does not accept that authority! :-) In addition to Searcher's good advice, I would recommend that you point them to all of the Messianic prophecies that Jesus fulfilled. The odds of anyone but the Messiah fulfilling these prophecies is almost infinite. Jesus must be the Messiah, based just upon the OT alone! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
