Marke: I suspect there were Jewish prophets who prophesied about Jesus' miraculous birth and early life who were not recorded in the Bible.

For to which of the angels did God ever say, “You are my Son; today I have become your Father
(Hebrews 1:5)

This is a rhetorical question, not given to receive an answer. The argument being made is that God never said such a thing to any angel.

Now, if God ever had said that to an angel, where would you look for documentation of it? You would look in the Bible, wouldn't you? Because if there were confirmation of God saying that to an angel, the Bible is where it would be. Right?

So, following the logic of Hebrews 1:5......

To whom did any prophet ever say that the Messiah would be called a Nazarene?

Marke: I don't know that God told us which prophets said Jesus would be called a Nazarene.

I don't know that God told us which prophets said Jesus would be called a Nazarene.

Then how do you know that any prophets did?
