Missing on the reborn Messiah

[shaad_lko]

So, it comes down to these questions:
1. Does any Christian (or Muslim) dispute that John the Baptist/Yahya fulfilled the prophecy of the return of Elijah before the coming of Israelite Messiah? If Jesus is the Messiah, then the prophecy must have been fulfilled - as the Matthew quote above says.

2. Does anyone dispute that the majority of Jews rejected Jesus as Messiah?

3. Does anyone dispute that among the reasons Jesus was rejected by the Jews, was the fact he didn't literally fulfil prophecies (but fulfilled them literally) - such as fighting wars, and such as the bodily descent of Elijah from heaven which was to preceed the Messiah's appearance.


My view is that the answers to the 3 questions are quite clear an uncontentious amongst Christians and Muslims. Does anyone have another view?

Cheers,

On point no. 3, I wouldnt rely on the OT prophecy to be accurate anyway. There are known distortions in the OT to suit the Jewish interests, such as the insertion of Isaac's name in place of Ismail as the son of sacrifice. They were supposed to be fully aware of Prophet Muhammad (sws) as well, yet they rejected him..

Oh another importent note I just*remembered! Jesus was pose to be born in David's bloodline but he was born from a virgin and not by his step father who if I*remember correctly is from David's bloodline. Also the Jews view Jesus birth as a pagan birth. Paul thinks Jesus was David's offspring but there's a huge diffrent between sperm from men and spirit from God.*
