Well then, should we keep on sinning so that God can show us more and more of his wonderful grace? Of course not! Since we have died to sin, how can we continue to live in it? Or have you forgotten that when we were joined with Christ Jesus in baptism, we joined him in his death? For we died and were buried with Christ by baptism. And just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glorious power of the Father, now we also may live new lives. Since we have been united with him in his death, we will also be raised to life as he was. We know that our old sinful selves were crucified with Christ so that sin might lose its power in our lives. We are no longer slaves to sin.
For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, 14in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
to open their eyes so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the dominion of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who have been sanctified by faith in Me.’

Quoting the Bible sounds dandy GB but the Bible is not truth, it is not history or factual rather it is what today we call hype!
It was literature for the illiterate, blousy with promises of deliverance from political subjugation, (the Jews were always subject to foreign domination) it was full of hopes for abundance which their desert homeland could not achieve, it extolled the virtue of their pathetic God YHVH whose worth was humiliated by their failure to conquer their oppressors. It revelled in the prospect of a glorious victory, it gave hope and heart to the peasants who lived in Judea and Israel.
These things are at the core of the heartaches and theological recriminations found in Jewish literature, it is the essential pleading of the underdog which the Bible reading masses historically have identified with as as their own predicament in life. This has been one of the strengths of the Bible which have made it somewhat relevant....until now.
As for its prophetic value, it is quite simply hopeless.

Jesus of Nazareth was mythologized as the foretold Messiah (Anointed one)
The Jews say he was just a prophet or Rabbi who taught about the Messiah.
Who is right about this is open to debate depending from what source.
