Micah 5

Quote:2 But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.
3 Therefore will he give them up, until the time that she which travaileth hath brought forth: then the remnant of his brethren shall return unto the children of Israel.
4 And he shall stand and feed in the strength of the Lord, in the majesty of the name of the Lord his God; and they shall abide: for now shall he be great unto the ends of the earth.
5 And this man shall be the peace, when the Assyrian shall come into our land: and when he shall tread in our palaces, then shall we raise against him seven shepherds, and eight principal men.
6 And they shall waste the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod in the entrances thereof: thus shall he deliver us from the Assyrian, when he cometh into our land, and when he treadeth within our borders.

Xhristards love to quote 5:2 but have obviously stopped reading at the point where they can say "Yup!  Thar's Jesus!!!!"

The continuing writing makes it clear that this was supposed to be a "leader" who would defeat the Assyrians in the 8th century.

Historical note:  The Assyrians went through Israel like shit through a goose.  It was wiped from the map.  So much for biblical "inerrancy!"

In case you guys hadn't noticed already, Aliza is an awesome theist Glad you're here, my friend! We need more like you.

Oddly, I went to rep her and found that I had done so over a year ago.  Must have been when TTA was down.

You do know that the gospels such as Matthew, Mark, Luke and John don't exist and there is no evidence they every did?

Tell me regarding the most important person to ever live:

3 wise men came to the birth following a star. No one recorder the date.
No one drew a picture.
No one wrote a description.
No one thought anything he said was important enough to record at the time or, if we go by actual available records, after.
The Jews don't believe a Messiah has been and can't be bothered even formally denying Jesus because there's nothing to sustain his existence.

This is supposed to be a living god and there's no record by anyone who actually allegedly saw him and those threatened by his existence don't see a need to deny him.
