I would like to see the prophecies about Sai Baba. A vast number of prophecies were made about Jesus. All of the following prophecies were made at least 400 years before Jesus birth.
The Redeemer lives - Job 19:25-27
The Messiah would descend from Abraham - Genesis 12:3
The Messiah would descend from Isaac - Genesis 22:18, 26:4
The Messiah would descend from Jacob - Genesis 28:14
The Messiah would descend from Judah - Genesis 49:10-12
Raised up as a great prophet - Deuteronomy 18:15-19
Hung on a tree - Deuteronomy 21:23
The Holy one would not see decay - Psalm 16:1-10
Crucifixion - Psalm 22
False witnesses would accuse him - Psalm 27:12
"Into your hands I commit my spirit" - Psalm 31:3-5
Hated without cause - Psalm 35:19

Scorned by enemies - Psalm 69:9,19
Descendant of Solomon - 2 Samuel 7:12-14

Redeem Israel and be a light to the Gentiles - Isaiah 49:6
Obedient in time of humiliation - Isaiah 50
Suffering servant - Isaiah 53
Come from Bethlehem - Micah 5:1-4
Betrayed for 30 pieces of silver - Zechariah 11:12,13
Pierced - Zechariah 12:10
Not a single verse therein refers to or connects with the Gospels - a cursory reading of other verses in the same reference will prove that. Sai Baba can be proven as a historical figure, but I was unable to find a single proof of Jesus, even after going dizzy keeping up with the qualifications and manouvers embellished in such searches. I found no evidence of a Roman trial, while a host of minutae topical details of mundane items are seen in Roman archives of the same period.
I never gave up and kept searching. Then I assumed the best proof of Jesus is with the Jews and the Hebrew writings, because these are very reliable. But here too I found nothing, this writing in relation to Jesus also being non-contemporary by 200 years. My conclusion is that unless some hard proof turns up, which I grant is almost not possible considering the time factor already lapsed and the vast number of archeological relics found for periods much older, the entire Gospels story is a fiction. Only the belief is sincere. The most disturbing factor about the Gospels is how it fails to mention the war between Rome and the Jews, whereby over a million sacrificed themselves to uphold their belief: this is akin to the NYTimes not mentioning 9/11 on 9/12.
