This is a cop-out, and a pointless excuse if God doesn't exist. The Bible really isn't the most interesting book.

Well, considering we know Messiah prophecy existed before Jesus (Daniel 9:24-27 especially), it more or less proves him.
I say "more or less" because you are probably going to say it doesn't count. I guess if someone rose from the dead, you would say it can be naturally explained.

Nintentacle pls. You're going to have to try harder than that. You can't use the Bible (or just individual scriptures) to prove itself. All that proves it that someone (actually a group of people) read the earlier scriptures, then decided to make a sequel with this Jesus character. Too bad the Gospels aren't very consistent. Obviously this didn't mesh well with the Jews since they expected a different kind of messiah.
Someone being raised from the dead is an impossibility

See, you just proved my point.
1. So a person named Jesus didn't exist? Or did a person named Jesus that lived in Nazareth and was born in Bethehem exist, and people made a story about him while the supposive eye-witnesses were still alive?
2. I'm saying if someone did (Theoretically, if you will) came back to life and told you about Hell you probably wouldn't believe them (Especially if the recently came back to life).
3. The Jews expected a different kind of Messiah because they didn't read the text properly, clearly.
