Exterior Evidence

Why Jesus does not fulfill Isaiah 53:

1. In isaiah 53 it says the following:

2 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. 53:2

Jesus must have been ugly !

He was a carpenter. What do you expect? Where in the Bible does it say Jesus was a handsome man?

2. In isaiah 53:

it also says the following:

And who can speak of his descendants? 53:8
he will see his offspring and prolong his days 53:10

Jesus didn't have any descendants nor did did he live a long live.

We are his descendants. And Jesus lived forever after his death in addition of 50 days of appearances on earth. This verse fits.

I am happy for you. Islam has changed my life.

But you do not KNOW God. I know him because he lives in me. Not only this, Christianity has loads of evidence for its faith. Let's take a break and examine the exterior evidence for our religions.

May God Bless You
