If we look at the universe we see that there are different elements. No two elements are the same, therefore by your argument each different element was created by a different god: God of Hydrogen, God of Helium, God of Lithium etc. Your argument here fails.
If you want to take it to a deeper level then we can go for: God of Electrons, God of Protons, God of Photons etc. There are different substances at different levels of analysis.
matter is just a function of energy, that would seem to be the bottom layer of which i am aware.
will you now claim infinite gods for each point on the continuum of energy frequencies?
in this there can only be one or the other then, either there are an infinite number of gods each responsible for an infinitely small point of energy on that continuum. or there is only one G-d responsible for the whole of the substance from which things are made.
these infinitely small gods would in effect add up to one G-d, i think my original idea is best. at least for now
Until all of the prophecies are fulfilled, He can only be a partial messiah. Only when all the prophecies are fulfilled can He be considered a complete messiah.
can one be partially pregnant? can one be partially dead?
being the Messiah, in the same manner is an either-or proposition.
False, as I have pointed out. He has not yet fulfilled all of them, just some. You are right that He fulfilled more than me.
like finger prints, a certain number of uniquely identifiable points between two sets of prints can show identity, the more points you match, the more likely the likely the match, if you were to add enough data points, you would approach the certainty of DNA identification.
in a similar way one can be sure of Christ, very many prophecies concerning Him have been fulfilled.
some of which exclude any others from being the foretold Messiah. so we can eliminate even the slight mathematical uncertainty.
What are you saying is unique about the Old Testament prophecies of the messiah? That they have only been partly fulfilled by Jesus, as opposed to the Jain prophecies of the twenty-fourth Tirthankara which have been completely fulfilled. Christianity is not the only religion which has fulfilled prophecies.
dont you mean they were postdicted? or predicted many cycles after the fact?
on the wiki it says only the last two have been in recorded history, and one of those started the present system of monks, nuns, and laypeople.
they are hardly prophecised, more like expected, in the way that i expect a paycheck next week, not meeting convergent predictions rather more like an occurence on the calender
All religions are unique, that does not make all religions correct. You cannot use uniqueness alone to tell if a religion is correct or not
.
the uniquness of the convergent prophecies, predictions spanning several millenia, made by different people, in different times, places, and cultures. then having these prophecies converge and be met at their apex in Christ.
that is where the strength of the argument is at
Besides, specifically on the messiah there is a second religion which also has prophecies of a messiah so that particular claim of Christianity is not in fact unique.
you want me to ask what that religion is, ok ill bite, what religion is it?
