Bible Question: I was on a forum talking about God when he asked me some questions I couls not answer... I will post the convo below:

Him:
The New Testament was added to the Old Testament, what does that say about it's authors?

Me:
It says that God sent someone to saves us...Jesus! AMEN!

Him:
Yes, which contradicts what the Old Testament says about it ,NOTHING! There is a passage about a savior, but that prophesy supposedly came true in the Old Testament, and has nothing to do with Jesus. Your savior is a fabrication, and the people who wrote about him can't even get their facts straight among them. Paul knew nothing of a man named Jesus, only a spirit. The rest of the gospels can't agree on his birth parents, either human or divine. The day, he died, who was at his grave, how long he was dead, etc. are all different. Not to mention his death causing the dead to rise, a fact that is for some reason left out of local history of the time period.

If someone could help me answer this ASAP I would Greatly appreciate it!

Thank you!!!-MLove

Bible Answer: Dear Mloveism,
Tell your friend:
The entire Old Testament points to Jesus, the Christ. Jesus is the fulfillment of all the promise of the Old Testament (Matthew 5:17).
Just to mention a few of the very many Scriptures concerning Him: He is called (title) Immanuel or Emmanuel which means "God with us" (Isaiah 7:15; 8:8 and Matthew 1:23) and if Isaiah 52:13 through 53:12 does not describe what He did for us and what He suffered...it describes no one. Check it out for yourself. If he/she is sincere, please have him/her read both Testaments thoroughly and then criticize it.
The Name "Jesus" is the Greek-American translation of the name which means "Savior." He is not named, by name in the Old Testament. An angel told Mary and Joseph to name Him that name when He would be born into this world.
IN the Old Testament He is called Savior, Deliverer, Prince of Peace, Mighty God (Isaiah 9:6)
If a person really wants the truth, he/she should thoroughly investigate before he/she criticizes. Really read the Old and New Testament and then make your criticisms. You may be very surprised. The Word of God tells us that if we seek Him with out whole heart, we will find him (Psalm 119:2 and II Chron. 15:15)I wish this person well in his/her quest.
I pray that the Spirit of God will show him/her the truth of His Word and Who Jesus truly is.
In His Name, Itiswritten
