Re: Buz, please ignore lame topics
Mike,
"It is not Buz's claim - it is documentation, - fact."
Is Harry Potter considered documented fact as well? The writings that compile the NT as we know it today were written by humans for the purpose of humans that wanted to be in power(my speculation). This phenomenon is not isolated to Christians understand, but what FACT are you referring to?
"The evidence Jesus was the Messiah,is the NT."
1) The evidence Jesus was not the Messiah is the Torah and the entire Jewish religion.
2) The evidence that Jesus was not the Messiah is the Koran and the entire Muslim religion.
3) The evidence that Creation did not happen by a Creator is Darwin's Theory of Evolution.
If that is all one had to say to provide proof then we could all go home. Besides this is a compilation of writings claimed to belong to certain individuals (I believe that hasn't been proven anyway).
"Then you want us to buy some ridiculous rules for "self satisfaction"."
Actually, these are not "self satisfaction" they are necessary.
Who is Percy to say, "You can't include Christ's prophecy".
Percy's point is valid because I don't know this Jesus existed outside of the Bible. Therefore, imo, it would be logically faulty to allow the hearsay words of someone whose existance is in question the status of: fact. Besides, imo, Jesus present day counterpart could have been David Karesh(sp?) in a different political climate. Both sides of argument are obligated to provide corroboration for the statements that are made. Therefore, I think the above guidelines are relevant AND necessary.
So, on to the prophecies!!

Buzsaw,
"The Bible requires that two or three witnesses come to play for preservation and accuracy of the message."
I'm not great when it comes to details and the Bible, but there's a problem with this that I think has been brought up in a couple of threads. Not every chosen author for the Bible that writes about the life of Jesus witnessed it, or even most of it, so how is the above true? But, maybe I have misunderstood you in some way.
