Apologetics #3 - The Divine Inspiration of the Bible (Part 2)

Dr. Odle continues his series, focusing on how Jesus fulfilled hundreds of prophecies about the Messiah from the Old Testament.

https://rumble.com/v323s90-apologetics-3-the-divine-inspiration-of-the-bible-part-2.html

No other book or text of any kind exists on earth that accurately describes down to the
smallest detail the events of a Spiritual figure's ( Jesus' ) life like the Holy Bible and
fortells of these events 1000's of years in advance.

You will not find anything written about Muhammed, Buddha, Krishna, Vishnu or any
other Spiritual figure in history that has over 800 prophesies that talks about the details
of their life, mission, death, etc...like what was fortold of Jesus.

If after reading the following you are not convinced, I cannot help you any further.
