[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  I mean I believe in God, intuitively, and I feel drawn to a Christian church.  But being a Christian requires believing written stories about someone from 2000 years ago.  How to get there, is my question.[/quote]

Read Isaiah. Add Daniel if you can. You will see how it all was foretold exactly as it happened. Where he would be from, etc. [/quote]

Isaiah and Daniel are stories, not factual accounts.  And it's pretty easy to write a sequel when the back story is already written.[/quote]

Absolutely not true. If you knew anything at all about history and/or archeology, you'd know that [b]Isaiah and Daniel were written long before the New Testament time period[/b].[/quote]

Yes, that is accurate history and archeology --  that's why it was so easy for people to write the Jesus stories later.  They already knew just what "signs" to refer to, that would show that things were happening according to what had been prophesied.  [/quote]
I'm curious why you think the writer of Isaiah wrote the following, which is so clearly about Christ, more than 1,000 years before Christ was born:

"But he was pierced for our transgressions,
    he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was on him,
    and by his wounds we are healed.
 We all, like sheep, have gone astray,
    each of us has turned to our own way;
and the Lord has laid on him
    the iniquity of us all."
--Isaiah 53:6-7

Was that just some random nonsense that a group of men took up as the source of a hoax a thousand years later? And this hoax was so good that it has fooled billions of people for 2,000 years and influenced pretty much everything that has happened since?[/quote]
