You're right, I can't prove it 100% but there's more than enough reason to think that the modern Christian view is off.
I'll be writing up more threads showing where Mark copied the OT. The fact that it's arguably word for word is strong evidence he was deliberately referencing what Jews would have picked up on instantly; the OT.
Of course it is extremely similar, you would use the prophecies to show Christ fulfilled them. Why would a Jew write about Jesus and show Him in a light that did not meet the expected Jewish Christ, why start trouble for ones self in going against the Jewish belief, it would not benefit yourself. So why do something that you would not know would work and take the abuse that came there way.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
