@2row777 The 'prophecies of Isaiah'.Scholars tell us that their were at least 3 writers in Isaiah,possible more,written over a long period of time.Thought to have been written by disciples of Isaiah,who continued to think and preach in the way of Isaiah after his death.We do not know who these other writers were.Or how many of them contributed to what is now our OT.We do know that OT as we know it was1st translated into Greek at Alexandria,about 200 BC.Prhps this is were those writers came from?
@2row777 I have recieved your PM, and thanks for such an interesting and comprehensive reply. I will respond as soon as I can. I am 1 of those poor unfortunates that has 2 work for a living so I don't spend my life on Youtube either.
@2row777 I did not actually wish to make you seem like a coward, altho it did take you a while to get back to me. I have not 'won' any arguements. Just put my unscholarly opinions. Of which I am still pretty much certain, that no such person as the Jesus of the Bible ,or his apostles, ever actually xisted.He never lived,never died, never resurrected.Jesus was most probly just a story, just like all the other sons of other gods,whose followers had just as much faith as any1 who believed in Jesus
Also, no, I haven't ignored you. I sent you messages out courtesy to let you know I'll respond within a certain time period (most 1-2 days). "But then that seems to be the usual way with those who claim to 'know' Truth." Is this how you win arguments? Publicly make your opponent seem like a coward although telling you that I'll get back to you asap? So if it's not on your timing, in your mind you've won? C'mon now...smh. Just respond to my message.
@GARYWERSLEY I'm not willing to discuss these things with you, although I sent you a message saying that I will get back to you yesterday? Although I told you twice that I'm extremely busy and won't be able to respond to all your points as quick as you'd like? Gary, I have a life, too. I have projects to complete, homework, and spend time with family. My schedule is jammed! I don't live my life on Youtube, sorry. Anyway, I already replied.
@2row777 Looks like you're not willing to discuss these things with me, even in private.You do seem to be ignoring me.I have PM'd some points, as requested,and the silence is deafening.As well as being difficult to interpret.
But then that seems to be the usual way with those who claim to 'know' Truth.
I've already told you that I'm more than willing to discuss these things with you, but not on here. We can talk through private messages or email. It's your choice.
@2row777 I do not hate the Bible or bible believers,neither do I hate the Koran or those who believe in it.I do seek to know Truth about the Creator as far as can be known.I do not believe there is truth in either of these books.That is not hate.You said that earlier Christians killed others who had different ideas than they about the bible.I try to find why that happened and I find it is written in scripture that nonbelief is evil. Koran says the same things.Something todo with Exodus 34:10-17?
@2row777 Perhaps those who were killed by earlier Christians was because of Exodus 34:10-17.The followers of Jesus demonstrate the Truth about the religeous intolerence inherent in all the faiths that come from the God of the ancient Isrealites. The God of Moses.

Perhaps I was right about you being ignorant and not wanting to learn truth.
Perhaps you did not read my last comments.
Perhaps you, like other ignorant bible-hating people just like to waste other's time.
