Jesus fulfilled over 300 OT prophecies. I posted a link on page 26(?).

good can not exist without bad, were there no bad, there would be no good because either end of the spectrum needs the other to exist.

No he didn't. That's why the Jews don't believe he was their Messiah. Also, do you not see the circular reasoning in claiming that the Bible gave the prophecies and the Bible claims they were fulfilled??

Of course they are! When it comes to thinking logically about mermaids, pixies, Zeus, Mithra, Odin, FSM and a thousand other mythical entities, they exercise the same reason and logic as anyone else to dismiss them all....but when it it comes to one particular mythical entity that they call "God", all that reason and logic gets thrown out of the window.

Now just hold on there - mermaids most certainly do exist! Didn't you see that documentary - The Little Mermaid? How do you explain that!
