Zechariah 11: 13: The Birth Of Jesus
1. The existence a being that possesses the ability to defeat hyperbolas, while locating distortions that allows the being to warp through the confirmed space-time vortex and travel to any given point on the linear timeline, forwards or backwards.
2. The existence of a being having the abilities to open and exploit wormholes, enabling to and fro travel.
3. The existence of the Resurrected Messiah, who resides outside of time.
4. If a being possessed all of the above.
Once a person realizes the significance of the Messiah’s writings and ponders the subject; that person has a decision to make, either this is true or this is false. If one makes the claim that Zechariah 11:13 is false, then due to the fulfillment of this prophecy in the New Testament, one would be asserting that the text was conceived and written after the birth of Christ, while being disguised as a book written before the birth of Christ and coinciding with the New Testament. The New Testament prophecy fulfillment of Matthew 26:15 and Matthew 27:5, is the Old Testament prophecy found in Zechariah 11:13. This prophecy is regarding the price set for the capture of Jesus Christ, and the command to throw the silver into the temple; which is recorded in the New Testament of Judas performing. In

Of course I do not believe the later, but these are the only possible remaining angles due to history and science.
History has proven that the Old Testament existed before the Anno Domini/Common Era and that the New Testament was written afterwards. Claiming otherwise, or even the consideration of such an idea, is ridiculous. However there seems to be no shortage of people that stop at nothing in faulty attempts to disprove the Bible, regardless if they are ignorant of the falsity or

    In Leonardo’s portrayal, each of the disciples reacts differently to the terrible prediction. Some are shocked, some are dismayed, some puzzled- but only one , only Judas, knows that, indeed, it is he. Falling back from Jesus’ words, the traitor Judas, seated fourth from the left with his elbow on the table, clutches a bag containing thirty pieces of silver, his price for handing over his leader to the authorities.…

    This evidence, that should have been made to support the truth of the Bible, was quickly twisted and turned against it. Archeologists were uncovering data that showed themes of parallel theologies to the Old Testament. This could have gone one of two ways. Either the popular opinion would be that the Old Testament influenced the theology of these societies, or that these societies inspired the Old Testament. Unfortunately, scholars…

    The book of Mark is a genre of gospel. Mark is one of four Gospels written in the New Testament. The gospel of Mark begins by describing the life and ministry of Jesus. John the Baptist said that “I baptize you with water, but He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit. (Mark 1:8) After Jesus baptism, he was tempted by Satan but he overcame all of the temptations. Jesus then began calling on His disciples with the purpose being that these men would follow and learn from Him as Jesus shared and taught the gospel. Jesus predicts He will be killed and will rise three days later. Jesus predicts Peter will deny Him three times. Peter does just as Jesus predicted and denies knowing Jesus. Jesus is taken before Pilate and is sentenced to death. During Jesus Crucifixion (Mark 15) a man named Simon helped carry his cross. After three hours on the cross, darkness occurred for three hours, at which point Jesus cried out “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?; then Jesus had took his last breath. He was buried in a tomb cut out of rock, and rolled a stone against the entrance of the tomb. He resurrected on the third day just as He predicted would happen.…

    “Ask”. The intent is to show that through the passages of Matthew 7:7 and Luke 9:9 that God is willing to provide for his faction everything one could desire on earth. All his followers have to do is to ‘Ask’ of Him (God). 7 “Ask, and it will be given to you; search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened for you” (Mark 7:7).…

    The Bible has authority in it as being the word of God. The authority the Bible comes from God that is given to the people by an inspiration and revelation by the power of the Holy Spirit from God. God said in His word that He is the Great I Am. Inspiration is nothing more than a revelation, or shall I say, a mere comforting and confirming word from God. As it states in John 16:33 "I have told you these things so that in me you may have peace, in this would you will have trouble. But take heart; I have overcome the world." Once inspiration has been given then we move into inerrancy; which is not demonstrable. This teaches you how to interpret things correctly. It helps us to tap into our faith to learn the hidden miracles and treasures that God has in the Bible. This is why it is very important, according to Proverbs 3:5-6 "to trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him and he will direct thy paths." In defending inerrancy I chose to stand behind the Biblical Argument because as it states in Evangelical Dictionary of Theology, 2nd ed; “The scriptures are the breath of god; which guaranteed they are without error." John 1:1 reads "In the beginning was the word, the word was with God, and the word was God." Just as God blew His (Ruah) breath into Adam to bring life to him; He did the same to the word when Jesus came down to the earth in the form of a baby. God is not a man that He should lie. He said in His word that Heaven and earth shall pass away but His word shall remain forever. The historical argument speaks from the church perspective as it related to doctrines and traditions such as the Sadducees and the Pharisee’s in the Old Testament as it pertained to the Sabbath. Nevertheless, epistemologies arguments have to be proven. Look at the resurrection of Jesus. In order for Thomas, a disciple whom walked with Jesus, was…

    Towns articles states “Some say that certain Old Testament prophets wrote after the events happened” (pg 5). This theory was proven inaccurate when the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered and validated that the text related to this was written and collected prior to Christ birth. Although all the prophecies have not been fulfilled the vast majority have been which more than what other religious can account for. Our beliefs as Christian are not only based off of our personal relations ship with God that is built through the Holy Spirit, but can be tied back to the proven fulfillment of prophecies that are found in…

    From the very beginning, the bible was based on word of mouth which can be easily stretched and distorted. It would have been easy for those in power to alter the words of the bible to what they wanted people to hear. Also, consider the location of The Garden of Eden and the Arch of the Covenant. The fact they have still been undiscovered leads the ultimate question. What elements of the bible were real and what was a figment of someoneś imagination? The extent of numerous people devoting their lives to searching for these locations and ending up with nothing makes me skeptical of what side I am on. It is difficult for myself to have faith in various stories that are misleading. How did Noah build an arch, that could hold every species of animal as well as various necessities?In the time period he was living, it would be impossible to build a boat that advanced, with the tools that were available. Although God guided him along the way, this story did not take account for the reality of the age they lived in. These flaws in the bible further my confliction to what I believe as…

    The Gospel of John begins by stating that God sent John the Baptist to identify Jesus Christ as the true Light and Savior. First Christ became a human being and lived here on earth among us and was full of loving forgiveness and truth(John 975). One day while John was baptizing in the Jordan River, Jesus approached to be baptized. Once He was baptized, the Holy Spirit descended from Heaven in the form of a dove and rested on Jesus. This sign told John that Jesus is the Son of God(John 977).…

    The main point that each writer raises is that Christ is of importance . I believe that Matthew sets up his gospel so it cannot be proven wrong. One interesting thing that he does is he compares Jesus to Moses in the “Sermon on the Mount” And in that very moment Jesus is like a king to his subjects. “ When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up the mountain; and after he sat down, his disciples came to him” (Matthew 5:1 NRSV). In many ways this imagine is just like that of Moses when he came down from Mt. Sinai. Jesus starts interpreting the original Ten Commandments, the old law, and offers new law; which is recalling the revelation to Moses. If Jesus is like Moses, and Moses is a messianic figure then Jesus must also be a messianic figure himself. It is also…
