logical assumptions of scripture

[steveorino 7]

I'd love to hear some logical, well thought out responses to a question or two I have about biblical prophesy. I'm not very interested in "the Bible says it, that's good enough for me", or the many links to atheist's website. Sorry Hairy.

Psalms 22 is a psalm that graphically describes a crucifiction. Conservative dates would be a 1000 years before Christ, well before crucifiction was common practice. More liberal dates around 500-150 BC would put it in the same time period of crucifiction. However, there is no time frame (apart from post Christ) that crucifiction would be considered part of a Jewish Messiah's plan. To the Jews it would be heresy and to the Greeks/Romans it would be laughable.

If the crucifiction was predicted 150-1000 years before Christ (when crucifiction would in no way be logical for a Jewish messiah) would that give credibility to the crucifiction of Jesus and His disciples story about His death?

Why would it be laughable?

Jews never have and never will glorify a man who died as a criminal. Had Christ died in a public revolt, he would have been honored, but not deified. Americans don't honor glorify Jihad terrorist who blow themsleves up in the name of God. Nor would a greek/roman glorify a teacher who died as a criminal. See what I mean?
