Regarding the "100 prophecies" allegedly fulfilled, I have always found this to be an unusually weak argument that Christians make. Even a cursory look at some of these OT passages reveals a number of passages taken out of context and then shoe-horned into the Jesus narratives (Matthew being the most enthusiastic offender among the Gospel authors). It is such a stretch to credit most of these claims that it is really much easier and more sensible to suppose that the survivors of the Jesus movement began combing scripture to "find" evidence for what they believed or wanted to believe to begin with.
Anyway, my advice is to take up these "prophecies" of Jesus with the Jews. Who knows? It might turn out that they know their own scriptures better than the usurping, Johnny-come-lately Gentiles who pulled the Hebrew Bible out from under their feet and dared call it the "Old Testament" -- a shameful cultural theft of the first rank. Convince the Jews, and then get back to me on the integrity of Christian interpretation.
