31 Terah took his son Abram and his grandson Lot son of Haran, and his daughter-in-law Sarai, his son Abram’s wife, and they went out together from Ur of the Chaldeans to go into the land of Canaan; but when they came to Haran, they settled there.

There were no Chaldeans in 1950 BCE. The Chaldeans ruled Babylon, Ur was a city in the Babylonian empire, from 626 BC to the year Cyrus the Great conquered the empire in 539 BC.

How could Isaac have accepted Christ?

Unchecked Copy Box

Gen 17:19
And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him

Actually by some beliefs, Jesus went to Shoel (possibly misspelled) and preached there during the period between his death and resurrection. Those that accepted him would then be as those who accepted him after the resurrection.

Sheol, as in the original Hebrew/ Israeli afterlife, a very old concept. A bleak place.

So faith can lead to many disparate beliefs. Doesn't make faith very special at all.

Not too difficult to write 'prophecies' after the event being 'prophesied'

:rolleyes:

The Old Testament prophecy on the Messiah? By people who didn't believe in Christ?

Then, someone volunteered to play the role of the Messiah - knowing that He will have to be crucified in order to fulfill what He knew to be a fake prophesy? :LOL:
