There is only one Jesus Christ that was born in Bethlehem, died on a cross, without bones being broken, speared in the side, lots were cast for His clothes, and He rose again on the third day.

Only time I am aware of these prophecies being fulfilled.

Do you have direct knowledge of others?

Citations please.

With no independent corroboration. With a high probability of the Jesus story being contrived to match the putative prophecy. Other cultures that predate the Bible have very similar stories. Maybe their stories were the true stories?

Do you have direct knowledge of others?

No! Do you? You did say prophecies.

Citations please.

You are the one claiming a fulfilled prophecy. Where might I find that prophecy?

As a Jew, I'd suggest that these were not, properly, 'prophecies' at all. That's a topic for another thread; I only put this out here to demonstrate that even among theists there is no universal agreement as to what constitutes biblical prophecy.
