Objection 5.14: Jesus didn’t fulfill any of the Messianic prophecies

[carolewilson]

I LOVED the ending. Same, same for me. It took me 13 years after my first read of the Bible and then studying it, to "see" Jesus. But once you see, you can't "un-see" and then you see Him everywhere in the OT/Tanakh. He is LITERALLY on every page, so I can understand what the man was pointing out and the laughter it caused Dr. Brown. The NT then becomes somewhat, but not all, a summary, in a way, that puts it all together and explains how those things were a precursor and some (again, not all) are to be taken on a spiritual level. Still blows my mind. Still, and I guess until the day I die, I find new things that make me say, "OH! I didn't see that before!" By God's grace, may we all see clearer every day.

The truth makes a lot of folks mad. Keep preaching the word Michael Brown.

This video is debunking the objections, everybody!
Note to Mike: It might be a good idea to change title of the series - the commentaries have quite a few people thinking you are objecting, based on the title...

Luke 4:16 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read. 17And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,

18The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,

19To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. 20And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him. 21And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.

Isaiah 53.3 old testament
He was despised and rejected by mankind,
    a man of suffering,  and familiar with pain.
Like one from whom people hide their faces
    he was despised,  and we held him in low esteem.

4 Surely he took up our pain
    and bore our suffering,
yet we considered him punished by God,
    stricken by him, and afflicted.
5 But he was pierced for our transgressions,
    he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peacewas on him,
    and by his wounds we are healed.
6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray,
    each of us has turned to our own way;
and the Lord has laid on him
    the iniquity of us all.

7 He was oppressed and afflicted,
    yet he did not open his mouth;
he was led like a lamb to the slaughter,
    and as a sheep before its shearers is silent,
    so he did not open his mouth.
8 By oppression[a] and judgment he was taken away.
    Yet who of his generation protested?
For he was cut off from the land of the living;
    for the transgression of my people he was punished.[b]
9 He was assigned a grave with the wicked,
    and with the rich in his death,
though he had done no violence,
    nor was any deceit in his mouth.

10 Yet it was the Lord’s will to crush him and cause him to suffer,
    and though the Lord makes[c] his life an offering for sin,
he will see his offspring and prolong his days,
    and the will of the Lord will prosperin his hand.
11 After he has suffered,
    he will see the light of life[d] and be satisfied[e];
by his knowledge[f] my righteous servant will justify many,
    and he will bear their iniquities.
12 Therefore I will give him a portion among the great, [g]
    and he will divide the spoils with the strong, [h]
because he poured out his life unto death,
    and was numbered with the transgressors.
For he bore the sin of many,
    and made intercession for the transgressors.

So what is The Truth then? Michael Brown is a scholar, Tovia Sincer is a scholar, the other people Michael Brown mentioned are also scholars. Each one has researched and studied the Scriptures - Old and New Testament - yet they interpret the Scriptures differently. So who is right then? How can anyone really know? I truly want to know the truth and I am seeking. I was born again in my twenties. I am now in my fifties. I never thought I'd be in this place of questioning, but, here I am. Both sides make compelling arguments for what they believe, but there can only be one truth. Faith is critical to life, so why doesn't God reveal, clearly, what that truth is? I know no one has the answer, so I will keep seeking after God and hope He will reveal it to me.

Using the New Testament to prove the New Testament is fallacious as hell

[meatballjerrow]

Paul took the most scripture out of context

[coencronje]

Who is the liar but the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ. Jesus warned us about this. Also do not call yourself Rabbi or Father

[chellebebuy]

John 5:39Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. 40And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life. 41I receive not honour from men. 42But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you. 43I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive. 44How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only? 45Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust. 46For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me. 47But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?

Michael Brown wastes my time again! I thought he was going to defend Matthew's socalled O.T. prophecies, instead he is talking around the bush !!

[sparkuri]

In Matthew’s record of what is commonly called the Sermon on the Mount, these words of Jesus are recorded: “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished” (Matthew 5:17-18).

It is frequently argued that if Jesus did not “abolish” the law, then it must still be binding. Accordingly, such components as the Sabbath-day requirement must be operative still, along with perhaps numerous other elements of the Mosaic Law. This assumption is grounded in a misunderstanding of the words and intent of this passage. Christ did not suggest here that the binding nature of the law of Moses would remain forever in effect. Such a view would contradict everything we learn from the balance of the New Testament (Romans 10:4; Galatians 3:23-25; Ephesians 2:15).

Of special significance in this study is the word rendered “abolish.” It translates the Greek term kataluo, literally meaning “to loosen down.” The word is found seventeen times in the New Testament. It is used, for example, of the destruction of the Jewish temple by the Romans (Matthew 26:61; 27:40; Acts 6:14), and of the dissolving of the human body at death (2 Corinthians 5:1). The term can carry the extended meaning of “to overthrow, ” i.e., “to render vain, deprive of success.” In classical Greek, it was used in connection with institutions, laws, etc., to convey the idea of “to invalidate.”

It is especially important to note how the word is used in Matthew 5:17. In this context, “abolish” is set in opposition to “fulfill.” Christ came “...not to abolish, but to fulfill.” Jesus did not come to this earth for the purpose of acting as an opponent of the law. His goal was not to prevent its fulfillment. Rather, He revered it, loved it, obeyed it, and brought it to fruition. He fulfilled the law’s prophetic utterances regarding Himself (Luke 24:44). Christ fulfilled the demands of the Mosaic law, which called for perfect obedience under threat of a “curse” (see Galatians 3:10, 13). In this sense, the law’s divine design will ever have an abiding effect. It will always accomplish the purpose for which it was given.

If, however, the law of Moses bears the same relationship to men today, in terms of its binding status, then it was not fulfilled, and Jesus failed at what He came to do. On the other hand, if the Lord did accomplish His goal, then the law was fulfilled, and it is not a binding legal institution today. Further, if the law of Moses was not fulfilled by Christ—and thus remains as a binding legal system for today—then it is not just partially binding. Rather, it is a totally compelling system. Jesus plainly said that not one “jot or tittle” (representative of the smallest markings of the Hebrew script) would pass away until all was fulfilled. Consequently, nothing of the law was to fail until it had completely accomplished its purpose. Jesus fulfilled the law. Jesus fulfilled all of the law. We cannot say that Jesus fulfilled the sacrificial system, but did not fulfill the other aspects of the law. Jesus either fulfilled all of the law, or none of it. What Jesus' death means for the sacrificial system, it also means for the other aspects of the law.

I am very interested in hearing the analysis of the passages in Matthew. I cant find the next part of the video on this channel. How do I listen to it?

[debunkingthefundamentalist]

Many of the "fulfilled" prophecies were not fulfilled at all or fulfilled only if you were looking in that context as I have done vids for my own people exactly on this topic. For instance Jeremiah predicting fall of Judah to Babylon. Well any military strategist could have said this by looking at the growing empire that Judah would not honor. The virgin prophecy of Immanuel. First Immanuel could have been anyone and second the word doesn't mean virgin in the original Hebrew script. The "suffering servant" could be a metaphor for Israel. And it may not be but it IS a possibility. Basically what apologists are doing are taking vague predictions and molding them to fit their worldview. I have yet on my own work to find a "prophecy" fulfilled. Maybe I will in the future--but not so far. Cheers, DCF

[jthanrubio]

I'm a believer, but some of my ancestors are Jewish...and it's easy to see why many Jews don't believe Yeshua is the Messiah because there are still wars, there is still brokenness. Yeshua/Jesus didn't fulfill many scriptures. And so, it's not Jews' fault for holding G-d to the standard of perfection. So you may ask, why do you believe Jesus is the Messiah then? Well, He may not have fulfilled all the scriptures...nor can He save you from this brokenness & suffering...but he suffered with us, and he was broken for us. This love is a mystery, it has no explanation, nor does it solve our problems...but it's ever before us. This is the work of the Messiah alone.
