This is just one of many Prophesies written many years before they happened. This is my proof of the Bible being true.......... He grew up before him like a tender shoot,
and like a root out of dry ground.
He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him,
nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.
3 He was despised and rejected by mankind,
a man of suffering, and familiar with pain.
Like one from whom people hide their faces
he was despised, and we held him in low esteem.
4 Surely he took up our pain
and bore our suffering,
yet we considered him punished by God,
stricken by him, and afflicted.
5 But he was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was on him,
and by his wounds we are healed.
6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray,
each of us has turned to our own way;
and the LORD has laid on him
the iniquity of us all.
7 He was oppressed and afflicted,
yet he did not open his mouth;
he was led like a lamb to the slaughter,
and as a sheep before its shearers is silent,
so he did not open his mouth.
8 By oppression[a] and judgment he was taken away.
Yet who of his generation protested?
For he was cut off from the land of the living;
for the transgression of my people he was punished.[b]
9 He was assigned a grave with the wicked,
and with the rich in his death,
though he had done no violence,
nor was any deceit in his mouth.
10 Yet it was the LORD’s will to crush him and cause him to suffer,
and though the LORD makes[c] his life an offering for sin,
he will see his offspring and prolong his days,
and the will of the LORD will prosper in his hand.
11 After he has suffered,
he will see the light of life[d] and be satisfied[e];
by his knowledge[f] my righteous servant will justify many,
and he will bear their iniquities.

People always lived in hope and so they made up a whole lot of stories.

GOD told Isaiah he writes down what he is told! I believe the tender shoot refers to King David .JESUS was born a poor man somebody you would never notice.JESUS taught from OT to teach the ordinary people the truth not as the TORAH scholar's or pharisee's were teaching them.He went about the region doing good healing people driving out Demon's and raising the dead. the SANHEDRIN out of anger and their jealousy start plotting his murder as foretold. The JEWS did not kill JESUS or roman's JESUS said I have the power to put down my life and to take it back up he volunteered to be born when his FATHER asked. JESUS was the only one that was able to achieve this him he loved his FATHER so much when His Father asked Him to due this He did for he loved Him the human race enough he came here to be born to become the Messiah for the Jews and the Gentiles JESUS was betrayed by Judas Iscariot the illegal late night trials taken to Pilate Antipas Herod where he mocked him the Jews or the Romans didn't kill JESUS for He said I have the power to lay it down or to pick it up once more the Mel Gibbon's movie the passion of the CHRIST explains it all so please come JESUS.

Some people are so blinded to God's existence, while you talk to a Christian and wonder,"how (can't) people believe, it's so obvious." So you have that predestination question, I just think truth can be right in front of someone and if it's not meant to be they will be blind and deaf to it.
Of coarse none of us know, maybe that person will believe someday, later in their lives? But I often wonder why God choose me.?.

When you decree the bible as some truth and some false you just made the entire bible worthless for it then becomes man's judgment as to what is truth. Jesus said that His word is truth and Jesus claimed that the entire bible is the words of God. Before you dismiss your father's convictions you should take the time to read the gospels for yourself and see why he was so convinced.

Jesus said, Jhn 15:20 Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.
Jesus foretold that His disciples would indeed speak the words of God.
God bless!

I like how you said "strange idea". It is strange indeed. God becoming a man to die for the sins of His children. Could man come up with such a story???
