So Jesus was referenced in the Old Testament?
The issue is that with the New Testament, it clearly has many similarites with the works of Plato (427 BC - 347 BC) and was written about 600 years later. Go figure.

Christians believe the Old Testament was in refrence to the birth of Jesus. As for Plato, I've studied numerous works by him considering I'm a Philosophy minor. Obviously, Euthyphro, Apology, Crito and Phaedo while studying Socrates. The Republic and Gorgias for Ethics. I would like to see these similarities you claim. Maybe I'll come across it in my other Philosophy classes.

Hit up The Republic and his ideas on a transcendental plain:

You link just talks about people who were christians that were influenced by Plato... which I could have told you that. It doesn't say Matthew, Mark, Luke or John (the foundation of christianity) were influenced by plato.
