    Default Why do Christians believe in Jesus when He's NOWHERE in the Hebrew Bible?

    “If we have to have a choice between being dead and pitied, and being alive with a bad image, we’d rather be alive and have the bad image.”

    — Golda Meir

    Zionism is the movement for the self-determination and statehood for the Jewish people in their ancestral homeland, the land of Israel.

    why do atheists always feel compelled to start threads attacking Christian beliefs?........is it insecurity?.....
    Isaiah 6:5

    Jesus was from the House of David and several events in his life were tied to Hebrew predictions of the Messiah…some of which were backdated such as the Bethlehem story.

    That said, Christianity didn’t suddenly pop into existence. It grew as a movement and evolved over the following 300 years. People who strongly believed were routinely executed by the Romans. In Judea this was often done with the help of Judean leaders since both the Romans and Judeans didn’t like the radical upheaval of the social order being created by the followers of Jesus.

    I have not seen that. I don't believe in the Judeo-Xtian deities either, but I am not an atheist.

    For someone like you whose actions mock the very concept of God, I would think atheist threads are a positive boon to you!

    Why do you mock God? I have never understood that about your posting style. You lie, bear false witness and are generally a horrible person yet you think you are fooling people into thinking you are some sort of "Christian" and you gild the lily with a bible quote in your signature file....you put it all in there!

    So why do YOU do it?

    It’s easier to understand when you realize that Pmp worships the Dark Lord.

    I guess I don't understand the question in the thread title. Jesus, Paul, Peter lived centuries after the books of the TaNak were written, why would they be expected to be in the Hebrew bible?
