Your way ignores the facts, which indicate that those 300 'prophesies' didn't exist until Christianity made them up.
actually they existed from 3500 to 400 BCE.
they were commonly known in Israel and Jewish communities throughout the region.
So, you can believe whatever you need to justify your unbelief.
Jewish eschatology also says nothing about the Messiah being so incompetent that he would have to have a 2nd coming in order to do what the bible says he would do.
that's the great thing about YHVH and His Word.
our permission, our limited understanding, our biases are irrelevant to him, and his ways.
he did give us the truth.
That by itself indicts the NT as a fraud and Jesus as a poser.
then you go right ahead and perish.
he's given us the invitation to come follow Jesus.
if your arrogance is so grand, your ego so fragile that you're too weak to come and see for yourself, then you will get exactly what you want.
to be left alone by YHVH.
I understand how fear of judgement drives the Christian mind.
yeah, you clearly missed it.
it's not fear that drives us.
It's the love of God through Jesus Christ.
1Jn 4:10 WEB In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son as the atoning sacrifice for our sins.
Rom 5:8 WEB But God commends his own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Joh 3:16-21 WEB 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only born Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life. 17 For God didn’t send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through him. 18 He who believes in him is not judged. He who doesn’t believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only born Son of God. 19 This is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light, for their works were evil. 20 For everyone who does evil hates the light and doesn’t come to the light, lest his works would be exposed. 21 But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his works may be revealed, that they have been done in God.”
Making you afraid is exactly how you get people with a poorly developed morality to keep believing.... and tithing.
bingo.
to you it's just about the money.
That's what makes Humanist morality superior.
Actually, it just makes you egocentric and strut around with your chest out, puffed up, making you arrogant and foolish.
We manage to do good and abstain from evil without either the narcotic bribe of heaven or the threat of hell.
So, you're really a good person?
you've already demonstrated that you trust your own thinking more than YHVH. So we can plainly see that you're an idolator.
Jesus said that if you look at another person with sexual desire, you've already committed adultery with them. That falls under you shall not commit adultery.
He further stated that if you're angry with someone without cause, you're guilty of murder. This falls under you shall do no murder.
The law then says- you shall not steal.
Along with, you shall not bear false witness.
Going back to idolatry, it's written you shall not covet your neighbor, their goods, nor their children or their wife.
Paul tells us in Colossians 3,
Coveting is idolatry.
I.e., being greedy, being envious.... it's idol worship.
so, instead of trying to justify yourself, recognize that YHVH will judge all of us by his law.
He already knows everything about us.
The ironic thing is... he loves us and doesn't want us to perish.
As such, he gave us his only begotten son to pay the penalty of death for the sin of everyone.
He doesn't want you to perish.
Come to Jesus.
