The Jesus Seminar

I read yesterday an article about the Jesus Seminar. A seminar held by a large group so scholars who claimed:

• That Jesus never claimed to be the Messiah and did not predict the end of the world.
• Jesus probably did share a symbolic last meal with his disciples just before his death. But they think that the words attributed to Jesus in the Bible, comparing himself to the bread and wine that he passed around the table, were probably fabricated by followers after his death.
• The Lord's Prayer, which the Bible says Jesus taught to his followers, was also probably composed by Christians after his time on Earth had ended.

John Dominic Crossan, a co-founder of the Jesus Seminar in 1985 and professor of Biblical studies at DePaul University in Chicago, says that "The image that comes out of our work is not a Jesus who was an apocalyptic visionary as much as he was a social revolutionary." He claims Jesus did not even say about 80-percent of the words attributed to him in the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.

The opinion of this scholars is based on logic, discarding the power of The Holy Spirit. They assume that people just evolved an idea of Jesus to make him the Messiah.

Here are my reflections:

1. Logical reasoning can't explain how Daniel knew exactly when The Messiah was going to be cut off to put end to transgression and sin (Daniel 9). Jesus and his followers couldn't have done this.

2. Logical reason can't explain the descriptions of the suffering on the cross hiddenly exposed through allegories in several passages such as Psalms 22 (The crimson worm) and Genesis 49. 

3. Logical reason can't explain how is it possible to present in details the theological ideas of substitution and atonement through the blood of the crucified, the wife being the church more than 4000 years ago in Genesis 49.

4. Logical reasoning can't explain why the Bible codes of Jesus and his life appear in Isaiah 52-54, proverbs and Psalms

5. Logical reasoning can't explain the names code in Genesis 5.

6. Logical reasoning can't explain the ideograms and the prophecies contained in the names of God, which coincide with the ideas of the Christians.

7. Only the power of God can explain all this. Only He can do all this.
