This is absurd. These examples you give are the RESULTS of retrofitting
the mythological Jesus by taking " prophesies " out of the ( Jewish ) Bible
and making Him seem to fit. The NT writers made so many stupid and
contradictory mistakes doing this, that the resulting Jesus is one that
only a desperate or non thinking true believer can believe.
For a book full of examples, see " Gospel Fictions " by Randel Helms.

DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER
==========
CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic
screeds are not allowed. Substance�not soapboxing! These are sordid matters
and 'conspiracy theory', with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright
frauds is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credeence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
