My point is OT is unnecessary and unreliable, you yourself mention the various texts. You're basically saying Matthew is confused. Samson was a Nazirite, not from Nazareth. No where can this prophecy about Christ be found in the OT so is Matthew talking about a different OT or is Matthew wrong. That's the jist of my opinion, I could be wrong but it is based in Bible texts. Those texts you quoted do not say what Matthew says but wow nice try. Using your logic the word NZR means a city that doesn't exist yet and also is missing a letter to be Nazareth. how you went from Jesus is the NZR to Jesus came from Nazareth. Sorry not buying it
