Question. Could one lead a non-believer to Christ using only the OT?

OF COURSE!. why not thats what the apostles did.
I think the problem is that alot of christians do not realize the significance of the O/T and therefor they are not convinced of its descriptivness.
try Prov 8 the whole chapter among countless other examples. the video you just watched is really a real good reference to the subject of Christ in each of the O/T books
I just think it takes alittle more faith to believe that each of those stories points to the savior. and alittle more guidence
Act 8:30 And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?
Act 8:31 And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.
Act 8:32 The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth:
Act 8:33 In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth.
Act 8:34 And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man?
Act 8:35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.

If simply sharing the Gospel to them does not reach them, they could be told about things such as prophecy, and things like the bible name code. There's a few things that show events from the Old Testament are scientifically possible, such as Wind Setdown, the 10 plagues, and also that prothombin, which aids in blood clotting, is low during the first days during birth and peaks during the 8th day making the 8th day the safest day for circumcision.

I feel like prov 8 is a great place to start

Pro 8:22 The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.
Pro 8:23 I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.
Pro 8:24 When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water.

Pro 8:26 While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world.
Pro 8:27 When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:
Pro 8:28 When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:
Pro 8:29 When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth:
Pro 8:30 Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him;
Pro 8:31 Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men.
Pro 8:32 Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways.
Pro 8:33 Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.
Pro 8:34 Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.
Pro 8:35 For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the LORD.

Pro 8:23 I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.

Does that parallel to John 1:1-14?

And Isaiah 53 is one of many great prophecies.

Yes definatly a parrallel to John 1:1-14 and many others here are a few interesting scriptures that I believe apply to prov 8/(Lady) Wisdom

Gen 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
Gen 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

Luk 7:34 The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!
Luk 7:35 But wisdom is justified of all her children.

Mat 11:19 The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children.

1Co 11:3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.

THOUGHTS?....................

 

[lowrab777]

I feel like lady wisdom is none other than the messiah himself I think the translators made him out to be a woman because the word wisdom is feminine and so they personified him as such. however the relationship between Jesus and God is similar to the relationship between Woman and man. So woman is to man......... as man is to Jesus......... as Jesus is to God.
1Co 11:3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.

Dont forget guys we are considered to be the bride of christ and the children of God

 

[lowrab777]

The OT is every bit as important as the NT.

sure is..... unfortunatly even though most would agree with that statement... I feel like the OT gets pushed into the shadows in most cases.
I have even heard other christians tell me on several occasions that the old testament does not matter because we are under a new covenant.
Sadly I feel like that can be very damaging to ones spiritual condition, and there ability to discern situations in life that can be compared to the OT stories.
