Yes, other than this one, which is a bad translation of the Hebrew verse. Leave it to "Matthew" to misinterpret the verse just to promote a later Christian doctrine which wasn't adhered to by Paul or "Mark".
Besides, this had nothing to do with a far future Messianic event. Perhaps you should read the verse itself within its immediate context.
Quote:How about this one:
Quote:And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. - Genesis 3:15
Not good enough. Too vague, and it's not even a Messianic verse. Again, ask the Jews.
Quote:Here God is speaking to the serpent and he mentions the seed of the woman, normally women do not have seed, the seed comes from the man. God gave the woman a seed, which was Jesus Christ through the virgin birth.
I don't care what your pastor told you about this verse last Sunday. You're misinterpreting words, and in doing so, misinterpreting the verses containing these words. Just to suit your theological agenda.

And yet nothing about the act of crucifixion itself. But putting that aside, it's not challenging for anyone claiming to be the Messiah to be seen as having fulfilled such a passage once they're dead. So even if the whole passage was about the Messiah, and this is debatable among the Jews, it's not exclusive/risky enough to make for a good potential prophecy.

In other words he'd raise hum up before his body started to decay, which is within 72 hours (3 days).
Dude, quit insulting my intelligence.

Mostly Gentiles. You know that, right?
