For the sake of argument, assume that on this thread I actually believe the following.
The New Testament prophesies that I am the second coming of Jesus.
Here are five reasons:
1) Wildcard
"He shall be familiar with Gliwice."
I spent four years in Gliwice.
NT parallel: the non-existent prophecy "He shall be called a Nazarene."
2) Donkeys
Jesus rode on a donkey around the age of 33.
I rode on a donkey at the age of 4.
I presented less of a burden to the donkey.
Jesus' burden is light, but mine is lighter.
I fulfil the prophecy.
3) Figs
Jesus wanted figs but couldn't get them.
I've eaten some figs.
I fulfil the prophecy.
4) Working on the sabbath
Jesus was questioned for working on the sabbath.
I was asked why I had taught a class of children in a language school on Christmas Day.
I fulfil the prophecy.
5) Jesus questioned the Jewish elders' understanding of the law.
I disagree with the popular Christian view that if someone has experienced some suffering, it means that they can do anything they like to someone else.
That's five prophecies I fulfil.
If you disagree with the exegesis, you should not be using your mind but the spirit.
If you think you have the spirit, disagreeing with me means you don't, but are being misled by the devil.
If you agree with me, that means I'm right.
I get bonus points if you ridicule me.
What, if anything, would your refutation of the above reasoning be?
