A Syllogism is a kind of logical argument that applies deductive reasoning to arrive at a conclusion based on two propositions that are asserted or assumed to be true. In its earliest form, a syllogism arises when two true premises validly imply a conclusion, or the main point that the argument aims to get across. -- Wikipedia

Syllogism

1: a formal argument consisting of a major and a minor premise and a conclusion (as in "every virtue is laudable; kindness is a virtue; therefore kindness is laudable")

2: deductive reasoning

SYLLOGISM - PROPOSITION - PROPOSAL CONCERNING MESSIAH

1) Per Genesis 3:15 "Messiah" is to come from Adam & Eve. Jehovah is speaking here a prophecy, the first prophecy in the bible, and He made this point very, very clear. This is the Major Premise.

2) Jesus did NOT come from or actually descend from Adam & Eve. (Joseph clearly had no part in the physical birth of Jesus. Jehovah Himself made that impossible. This means Mary was a "surrogate" mother. -- See Matthew 1:20-25) This makes this birth, a miraculous birth. This is the Minor Premise.

A. Psalms 45:16 (Did Jesus actually have earthly "forefathers"?)

B. Psalms 89:27 (Messiah is "firstborn" among mankind. But, . ..is this true of Jesus?
Was not Jesus "firstborn" from heavens, "firstborn from all creation," not earth? Jesus does not need to be "appointed," "made to be" or "placed to be" "firstborn" . . . he does not need to be given or accredited this position. He has this, naturally. (See Colossians 1:15.)

3) Therefore, Jesus CANNOT be The "Messiah" of Daniel 9th chapter.

Additionally, consider this:

Daniel 9:24, 25 says Messiah was to "bring in righteousness for times indefinite" or "brings everlasting righteousness" to earth, at the end of "Seventy Weeks." Can we really say, Jesus actually did this?

Someone else has been appointed by The "Most High" (Psalms 83:18) to carry this out, and fulfill this grand prophecy. (See Genesis 3:15; Isaiah 49:1-7.)

Think about it.
