== [[Messianic Prophecies]] - copied from book? ==
Bert,
I was just putting Bible Quote templates into [[Messianic Prophecies]] when I noticed that it looked a lot like what I remember of an appendix to [[Josh McDowell]]'s ''[[Evidence that Demands a Verdict]]''. I don't have the book on me right now, so I can't be sure; but it (especially the style of quoting the Targums) sounds very similar. Did you copy this article from McDowell?
As far as I know, it's perfectly fine to use the quotes he's assembled as long as we rearrange them (as I've done) and add more (as we definitely should do). However, using his ''commentary'' on the passages (such as "Often it is said, rather dogmatically, that "God has no Son" in Judaism. But this is not true...") is a violation of [[copyright]] law unless we actually have McDowell's permission; so, we'd need to greatly edit the article.
Still, thanks for starting this much-needed article. I'd appreciate if you could respond at your earliest convenience and, if it was copied, help me re-write the commentary to fix the copyright violation.
