I KNOW it was saved and viewable for at least a couple days (I checked). So what happened to it? No idea. So here I am spending more time redoing it.
Basically the idea was that there are problems with many if not all the so called messianic prophecies that point to Jesus being the messiah. I'm using the list at Clarifying Christianity: http://www.clarifyingchristianity.com/m_prophecies.shtml
The first is a "prophecy" stating that the savior would be a descendant of eve:
And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel."
My argument is basically that a clear reading of this has nothing at all to do with a messiah and merely portrays future enmity not the position of a savior. I also think that anyone at any time in history could write about future enmity between humans and snakes and there would be a ridiculously high probability that they'd be right. Snakes and humans only rarely get along.
See Messiah part 2 about why Jesus isn't really a descendant of Eve anyway, and thus why this completely fails.
The supposed fulfillment of this prophecy is in Galatians 4:4
"But when the time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under law,"
Anyone else have trouble seeing how this even relates?
Reading the rest of the chapter reveals that it's talking about how a child is like a slave, owned by his parents, and that God sent his son to redeem those under the law (Jews only) that they may have their inheritance (heaven) as sons rather than slaves.
So the fulfillment doesn't even relate to the supposed prophecy which doesn't even sound like a prophecy in the first place.
