[Zero Sum]

Kosta: So, I am asking you to provide unquestionable proof that everything in the Bible is indeed a Providential word of God, as claimed, and that questioning the fairness or even the veracity of its stories is on the same level as questioning the 'fairness' and veracity of earthquakes or any cataclysmic event we see in the universe.

I can't prove that. All I can say is that in the OT, I do see shades of that which is completed in Christ. As you said, a lot of it is allegorical, and some of it is just downright cryptic. But if it really is just a "shadow" of the fullness to come, then that shouldn't be too surprising.

I can't prove that

Okay, that's fine and fair. It's a tough question, and you answered it straight and honest. Please do understand that I am not questioning your belief. I am only questioning when someone makes a belief into a matter-of-fact claim. As in "I believe the Bible is the word of God" and "The Bible is the word of God."

All I can say is that in the OT, I do see shades of that which is completed in Christ. As you said, a lot of it is allegorical, and some of it is just downright cryptic. But if it really is just a "shadow" of the fullness to come, then that shouldn't be too surprising

I am open to that. Maybe, for starters, you can demonstrate for me those parts of the OT that show Christ in the making. How's that?
