Spoken by the prophets? Yes, but where?

[Strider324]

You telling me what appeals to me is either a sorry attempt at mind reading - or just an intellectually lazy claim you can’t support without my input. I’ll let you clarify which it is.

Does unbelief in God not appeal to you?

Does unbelief in God not appeal to you?

No. What other naked assumptions would you like to make?

 

[Matthias]

No.

It isn’t appealing to me. If it isn’t appealing to you then why are you using the unbelief of the majority of Jews to support your atheism?

What do you say specifically about Matthew 2:23?

“He came to a town called Nazareth and lived there. Then what had been spoken by the prophets was fulfilled, that Jesus would be called a Nazarene.”

(Matthew 2:23, NET)

What we have is a translation of the inspired word of God as delivered to us in the book of Matthew . Matthew has not been questioned as to being the author . Matthew said prophets as in plural , so was God revealing something to Matthew that we will never know , could be . All the words of God's prophets are not in the bible , not by a long shot I figure . We are told plainly we do not have all the things that Jesus did , which would surely include things He said .

25And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.
