According to the Old Testament, Jesus is the Messiah.

Paragraph One: Your phrasing of the situation is a tad dishonest. Judaism isn't "We'd rather die than confess the name of Jesus." It's "We don't accept Jesus and await our real Saviour." You say it like they adamantly refuse 2+2=4. Also, I don't think you get any points for dying for you faith, but I will say more on that when I get to your disciple argument. Again, more unfair phrasing. Judaism says "We have many Messiahs but we await the final Messiah." By the way, nowhere in the Hebrew Bible does it say the Saviour will die and come again. Both of these religions are based on the same God with a disagreement on the rules and the second installment. Both of these have traditions, and if anything Christianity has more traditions based on man than God. Nowhere in the Bible do we hear about a Pope, the idea of Purgatory has come and gone based on what the humans believed, and there are around 33,000 denominations of Christianity, so it seems you guys aren't too sure what the Big Man even thinks. People convert to and fro from Christianity, so unless we are going for a no-true-Scotsman fallacy, Scripture isn't very consistent in its path making. I don't know if you take a literal viewing to Scripture, but there is a lot that the Bible gets wrong, like the Earth is flat [1] [2] [3], the Earth is 6,000-10,000 years old [4], and the Sun revolves around the Earth [5]. So either the Bible is meant metaphorically and not literally, however if this is so then there was no original sin and Jesus isn't needed to save us after all. Paragraph Two: I discarded the third definition because it talks about a Messiah, not the Messiah. Paragraph Three: Yeah, I'm entirely sure if this counts as a rebuttal. You say that "much are fulfilled in the New Testament" but give no examples, so I guess we are taking this on faith. You know what they say, claims asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence. Then you talk about MP fulfilled in the Old Testament, though I am not entirely sure why. Paragraph Four: Another claim without evidence. You say something about Jesus being more logical, but you don't even try to support this. Death of the Disciples: The Aztecs [6], Mayans [7], Canaanites, Etruscans, Celts, Romans, Minoans, Gauls, Carthaginians, Scythian, Chimus [8], and more have all had human sacrifices. In fact, over 490,000 Southerners were killed, wounded, or captured in the Civil War [9], but I am think we can say their cause wasn't exactly just. As it turns out, dying for your cause doesn't make you right. It just makes you, well, dead.In conclusion: You didn't refute any of my arguments, really, just dismissed them for some arbitrary reason not even mentioned. You didn't give example of MP fulfilled by Jesus, why the six prophecies I listed are unimportant or fulfilled, or an adequate reason why one should care for the fate of the Disciples, or even a real reason for believing Jesus to be the True Messiah other than some logical reasoning you failed to share with us.I await your response.Sources: [1] http://biblehub.com...
