- The New Testament fulfilled the Old Testament. Many of the prophets
- (esp. Isaiah) told of the promised Messiah, who was fulfilled
- in every detail in Jesus. (I only have a NT with me, otherwise I would
- quote some verses.) I am genuinely interested to hear your answer to this,
- because I believe that you are still expecting the Messiah to come. I am
- also interested to understand why. Feel free to email me at
- jsm@aeg.dsto.gov.au if you don't wish to discuss this over alt.atheism.

- Yours in Christ,
