Er, Um, I hope I am in the right place here! But anyway, I was wondering if anyone out there has noticed that all of the alleged 300+ Messianic prophecies are 1. Out of context and 2. Non-explicit. They all have these two criteria; every one of them. It just seems to me that anyone could fabricate any religion they fancy when based on vauge prophecies that are 1.out of context and 2.non-explicit. I have read many Christian apologetic explanations for this fact, and while they all admit that the prophecies are indeed 1.out of context and 2. non-explicit, they will maintain that they are..."symbolically implied." The whole religion sounds fishy to me. I mean if every thing is based on what is "symbolically implied", then I'm sure that, let's say...Homer's Poems... are even chocked full of Messianic prophecies. There is just no rules for interpreting symbols; their meaning and implications can shift seamlessly into something else; even its opposite.
