The fact that Jesus fulfills all the OT prophecy so specifically is tremendous testimony.<br /><br />The whole circular argument you mention is also, I believe, indicative of election. We could not believe without the Holy Spirit prompting our belief. Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12045517118866436340noreply@blogger.com
