Messianic Prophecy in light Muhammadan Polemics Members Public

Muslims are keen on undermining Old Testament prophecies that point to the Messiah being God in the flesh by appealing to disbelieving Rabbinic Jewry and/or liberal critical scholarship that deny prophecy altogether. In order to expose this blatant inconsistency, I have decided to cite the key OT texts which

The following is taken from James E. Snapp Jr.’s blog (http://reclaimingthemind.blogspot.com/2010/06/defense-of-in-prophets-in-mark-12.html). How many times did Mark, as he narrated events, cite an Old Testament prophet by name? The answer is either “Never” or “Once, in 1:2.” The Byzantine Text in Mark
