Hi - maybe you could help. - I had a discussion with an atheist who pointed the following ie does not relate to Jesus (how would you address this);
1) 53:5 But he was wounded / bruised - but not killed
2) 9 And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death - was in a grave by himself not with others
3) 10 - .....he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, ....... - did not see his seed
On another point: Many have seen Jesus - how would they know it is Jesus as we have no proof what Jesus really looked like?
Hi Needadvice,
Isaiah 53 is clearly about Jesus, they cannot understand this as the scripture is closed to them by their unbelief
Mat 13:10 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?
Mat 13:11 He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
Mat 13:12 For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.
Mat 13:13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
Mat 13:14 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:
Jesus is somewhat described in the bible as being an ordinary man, however those who belong to him will recognize him if it is his will.
