Isaiah 50 is generally accepted by most Christian Bible teachers to be a true Messianic passage, yet some choose to ignore the second half of verse 6, "I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting."

Well, it looks as though we found a prophesy, that according to a few, Jesus did not fulfill. And that one fact alone disqualifies Him from being the true messiah! Even so, if He did fulfill this prophecy, was not Jesus also a true apostle?

I had not thought of it that way! Rather elementary when you realize it, but then again, you have a way of presenting profound Biblical meanings in that easy-for-all-to-see fashion.
