Messianic Prophecies-“Jesus or Bust: An Argument from Extraordinary Circumstances (on Reason & Theology’s “1P3” Podcast) + Bonus on Daniel 9 & the Maccabean Thesis

I (Dale) guest star on Luis Dizon’s “1P3” segment of the Reason and Theology Podcast to outline my own nuanced version of an argument from Messianic Prophecies whereby I argue that a unique set of circumstances arises with either the “bona fide” unfalsified claims about Jesus being a viable Messianic candidate are true or else no one is the Jewish Messiah (i.e., the “Bust” option) obtains. 

I argue this is a rather “extraordinary” circumstance as it is unique despite there being ample opportunity for others to equally qualify based on their own claims and/or in other religions for a similar situation to arise such as in Islam, which claims many Biblical prophecies about Muhammed; unfortunately we see that Islam fails to establish a “Muhammed or Bust” circumstance where as Jesus does so!

Daniel 9: Refuting the Maccabean Thesis;

Michael Lofton (not Loftus- sorry) of the Reason & Theology Podcast asked me to do a follow up show to my take on Messianic Prophecies- specifically he wanted me to refute the Maccabean thesis of Daniel 9:24-27. In this episode I refute the claim that the 70 weeks of years correlates to the the time of the Maccabees and refers to the death of the anointed High Priest Onias III.
