give some of the holes. I teach religion in both a secondary school and college. I will tell you, that it seems you are just perturbed about the lack of creativity used in the creation of Jesus story

Actually he was not prophesized by name. A "coming" was mentioned. It works out very well that Jesus was believed to be an OT scholar which makes it very easy for him to fit any category that it claimed this "godman" would have.

check again about the age of the OT firstly. Secondly, you cannot say that JEsus himself was prophecised in the OT. See my previous post
