Amazing to consider: the four gospels contain no less than 48 fulfilled prophecies about one man, and every single prophecy was recorded more than 400

years before He was born. Not even the dates set by higher critics of the Scripture can change the fact that the Old Testament was completed years before the events of the New Testament took place. The mathematical laws of probability prove this phenomenon to be true. Peter Stone, a professor in mathematics and Astronomy at Pasadena City College and Westmount College, demonstrated (through statistical probability) that the odds of any man besides Jesus of Nazareth fulfilling these Old Testament prophecies are not only astronomical, they are statistically impossible. In his book Science Speaks, Dr. Stoner determined that the chance of any one fulfilling the 48 prophecies that Christ fulfilled in the Gospels was one out of ten with 157 zeros after it. The total number of electrons in the known universe is estimated at 10 with 52 zeros after it. In other words, the chance of Jesus Christ fulfilling all 48 prophecies lies outside of science and nature. This isn't all. Not only 48 prophecies, but 500 more that have not been fulfilled yet, that will be fulfilled in the near future. This means that any intellectual who doesn't believe that the text of the Bible is supernatural, is demented and a buffoon. You say, "you shouldn't call names". Well, Jesus did. You say, "what would Jesus do?" That's what Jesus would do. Any Scholar, of any persuasion, in any branch of study, who believes that the Bible is like any other "religious book," is crippled too high for crutches.

And the oldest gospel was written more than 70 years after the crucifixion allowing time to craft any narrative about a personage with essentially no record in Roman history. Pliny the Elder made one passing reference to him.

The NT book of Matthew writes of events that were specifically staged in order to fulfill "prophecies" of the Old Testament. These events almost certainly didn't actually happen, Matthew just said that they did. Even if they did happen, purposefully fulfilling a prophecy to gain credence for a new religion seems totally fraudulent. The word "contrived" springs to mind...

So if someone today writes a sequel to a book written a hundred years ago and fulfills events that the previous book foreshadowed and then claimed it was based on a true story, you would find that a miraculous and mathematically impossible event? 🤔
Hmmm. I was always taught the following:
[quote]The four gospels are Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. The word “gospel” (euangelion in Greek) means “good news.”[/quote]
In other words, the four gospels were writings based on the stories told by four of the apostles [i]after[/i] Jesus died. Maybe you need to look up "gospel."

Or maybe, it’s all bullshit. For the reasons already given.
Go to Vegas and watch a guy on stage saw a woman in half, then put her back together. I find that more amazing than anything your old book has to offer.
