Hi Alm,
You dont believe the evidence of Jesus who actually was eyewitnessd
But no one actually eyewitnessed the resurrection itself, no one claims that they saw Jesus coming back to life.
Also, there are no extant eyewitness accounts to anything Jesus was supposed to have done. You keep insisting in living in a world of circular arguments. The NT authors knew the OT, so they knew what the prophecies were before they wrote their stories about Jesus. They wouldn't be as stupid as to claim that Jesus was the Messiah and then say he was born in Capernaum would they? They had to say he was born in Bethlehem, and how do we know he was born in Bethlehem, well the Bible says so doesn't it? How childish is this line of reasoning?
Imagine you were living in the first century and you were going to write a story about someone you thought was the messiah, wouldn't you HAVE to include certain OT prophecies in order for your story to have any credibility? You would, for example, have to make sure that your particular messiah was born of David's line and, just like the gospel authors did, you would need to invent a genealogy for your messiah.
The alleged 'prophecies' of Jesus are perhaps one of the most boring and pointless studies of all time.
Brian.
