The dead sea scrolls are full of mistakes and spelling errors. I'm not saying the MT is perfect, but when I have to choose I go for the traditional text.

That matters of course a great deal. The ones with the most respect for their text and with the most exacting copying process are the most likely to have the correct text.

The NT brings us prophecies of which it claims that they are fulfilled by JC.
Let us take a closer look at those. The first one we find in Matthew 1:21; “she will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins." All this took place to...

The arguments; "O.K, the New Testament is not reliable, but the Old Testament, which is much older, is also not reliable", or the argument; "The Jews changed the Old Testament after the rise of Christianity, in order to discredit Christianity" are not valid. The Torah, the most Holy part...

The Jews are the ones who have transmitted the Torah and the rest of the Hebrew Bible through the millennia with very great accuracy. The Tanach is even much more accurately transmitted than the much younger NT.
And that is what I rely on, the Jewish tradition and zeal in...

You seem to overlook the simple fact that there is NOT A SINGLE MANUSCRIPT THAT HAS "PIERCED".
There might be some that have כארו, but like I said before, that means nothing in Hebrew. That verb doesn't exist in Hebrew or the Tanach.
You have to turn it into כרו by dropping the alef...

Concerning the "like the lion" controversy, it is important to know that what is written in the Hebrew text, is "like the lion".
The claim that in de Dead Sea scrolls there is written "they pierced" is wrong. There it is written kaf, aleph, reesh, waav; כארו
And that is a word that...

The vast majority, the Hebrew Bible, I accept.
Daniel 9 does not speak about THE messiah. It speaks about two messiah's, but not about THE messiah.

The prophecy of Isaiah 7:
1: In the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham, son of Uzzi'ah, king of Judah, Rezin the king of Syria and Pekah the son of Remali'ah the king of Israel came up to Jerusalem to wage war against it, but they could not conquer it. 2: When the house of David was told...

Who is talking about Mary? We are talking about the young woman from Isaiah 7, not about Mary.
A young woman can be a virgin, and she can be a non-virgin. The term "almah" just doesn't say anything about that.
And seeing that in Isaiah 7 that young woman is pregnant and in the proces...

Psalm 22
To begin with; the Psalms are not prophetic writings. Also Psalm 22 does not claim to prophesize about the messiah. It is nowhere written: The messiah will come and he will call out during his execution: My God, my God, why did you forsake me? This is king David speaking...

Strong is simply wrong here.
And as he says: "Maid or newly married", and that is definitely not a virgin.
And of course, most of the Bible translators translate the word "almah" as "maid", "damsel", or something like that.
Except of course in Isaiah 7, there they almost all of 'm, say...
