@62grossman The Old Testament verses you quote are open to a variety of interpretations; they certainly don't need to point towards the Orthodox understanding of Christ, which, let us not forget, took over three centuries to negotiate. Isaiah 53 was understood at the time it was written to be a personification of the people of Israel taken into captivity by the Babylonians.
@62grossman You might be interested to learn that there are very few respected biblical scholars- some of whom are even quite conservative religiously- do not believe that Jesus said "I am the way, the truth and the life". This is because this particular saying of Jesus is found in the Gospel of John (the latest of the four Gospels) and it is not found in the earlier synoptics. There are very few sayings in John that are likely to be verbatim from Jesus himself.
@qishaq84 Jesus is the one who fulfilled all the Old Testament prophesies about who The Christ would be(see Isa.7:14, Isa.9:6 and Isa.53 for example). Jesus is the One who was born of a virgin. He's the One who died on the cross to save us from sin and He's the one who was raised from the dead for our justification. Also, He's the one who sent the Holy Spirit. All other religious leaders are dead, but He's still alive and coming back for His children. Please open up your heart to Him.

@62grossman Read what the Quran says about Jesus Christ first, assess, then conclude. Don't have blind faith and insult your mind.
