Study is Encouraged

You Owe it to Yourself and Your Family - Study as if Your Life Depended on it

I love mathematics and statistics.  I've reviewed the work of Peter Stoner numerous times over the last 10 years and still find it amazing to fathom the simple impossibility of any other person in all of history to be declared the Messiah, Anointed One, Χριστός (Greek), מָשִׁיחַ (Hebrew), Son of God, God's Only Son, Savior.

Consider there are over 300 Messianic Prophecies written in the Old Testament; over the course of 900+ years, by no less than 20 authors.  There have been an estimated 88 Billion people since these writings.  The chances of 1 person from this group of 88 Billion fulfilling only 8 of these 300 prophecies is greater than 1 x 10 to the 17th power (17 zero's behind the one).

As an analogy; cover the state of Texas, two feet deep with silver dollars.  Put a single red dot on one of those dollars.  Blindfold a person, and place them at a random place within the State of Texas. Ask them to walk as long, and far as they would like and then pick up one silver dollar.  The odds of that one dollar have a red dot are equal to the odds of one person fulfilling 8 Messianic prophecies.

What the chart below shows though is that Jesus of Nazareth, is that 1 person.  Jesus Christ is the Son of God, Read the scriptures and judge for yourself.  If you are making a judgment on His deity or existence without actually doing research into the topic, then I can assure you the outcome of your assessment is questionable.  Because this is, without question, the most important issue in one's existence, I implore you to spend the next 2 weeks leading up to Christmas to truly evaluate the evidence that is laid out in the Scriptures.
