I did try to answer Phaze's question perhaps you were unwilling to interpret them as I had intended. Or you interpret them literally.Originally posted by Icemoon:why don't you try to answer Phaze's queries?
have you read Anthony Flew's falsification theory? sooner or later, you will die by a thousand qualifications.
All prophecy from real God's prophet would come to pass no matter what. It may be(may not be) hidden in the literal form of the prophecy but that was intentional.Originally posted by Phaze:The thing about biblical prophecy is that most of them have no time limit so they are really quite meaningless. Without a time limit, you can always say that "well it just hasn't happened yet."
So we have to look for prophecies which state specific times or are related to specific events.
For example, Isaiah prophesied that the child would be called Emmanuel. However, he was called Jesus. Matthew 1:23 was almost definitely inserted just to try to explain this.
Zechariah 9:8 claims that Israel will never be oppressed again. Or maybe this should be filed under "god changes his mind" again.
What about Isaiah 52:1 are you sure there are no uncircumcised and "unclean" people in Jerusalem?
In Genesis, God tells Adam that "in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die." I guess I have a different definition of "in the day" than god.
There are many more examples but I guess no point flogging a dead horse.
well, Phaze replied saying the horse is already dead.Originally posted by Miracles&Prophecies:I did try to answer Phaze's question perhaps you were unwilling to interpret them as I had intended. Or you interpret them literally.
I'm just saying God keeps his promises do what He has decided upon.

Did Jesus not prophesy that He would rebuild the temple in 3 days?
In which He did...He rose from the death after 3 days. You beginning to see some sense here?
Care to tell why?Originally posted by Icemoon:
What a big fallacy.
I think there's a boycott. :pOriginally posted by Miracles&Prophecies:Care to tell why?
I'm surprised that nobody else is active in this forum
ok, so the horse was't dead, or was it resurrected by you?Originally posted by Phaze:Okay. Maybe saying it was flogging a dead horse was a bit harsh. :p I apologize for that.
and how long did it took you to write all this down?Originally posted by specialOps:Basically in Christianity belief, God has set a time and season for the completion of certain things, before Christ returns to reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
The signs:
- The gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in all nations, everyone on earth will have a chance to respond and repent
- Anti-Christ, Anti-Semitism activities will increase to attempt to stop God's work
- The nation of Israel will be attacked and almost destroyed completely before God returns and crush the enemies.
In Christianity, Israel has a special covenant with God for their nationhood. The destruction of Israel is one of the main attempts of the devil to discredit God's faithfulness to keep His covenant.
In the end times, lawlessness will also increase - known as antinomianism. A doctrine that will penetrate churches that will teach people that it is ok to sin, afterall there is grace and forgiveness, you can do anything u want ...
The last days events will include a global system to control all men and women, such that only with a certain sign on their forehead or palm, then they can only continue daily lives. The problem is, this sign will be the devil's mark which will condemn all men to eternal hell.
Nobody will be ignorant to accept that mark, it will be clearly known in their conscious minds that it is the mark of accepting the devil's control and lordship.
There's many more...its too many to share.
Phaze went up and touched the dead horse, and those who accompanied the dead horse stood still. Phaze said, "Young horse, I say to you, get up!" The dead horse did not move.Originally posted by Icemoon:ok, so the horse was't dead, or was it resurrected by you?
Oh ya, one thing I remember from my Jewish study of Genesis.Originally posted by Phaze:Phaze went up and touched the dead horse, and those who accompanied the dead horse stood still. Phaze said, "Young horse, I say to you, get up!" The dead horse did not move.
One of the men said unto Phaze, "Mister, what are you doing?
Phaze proclaimed to the man, "Behold I am talking to the horse."
Didn't take long...i studied this for years.Originally posted by imDANIEL:and how long did it took you to write all this down?
I find this statement questionable.Originally posted by Miracles&Prophecies:Is Jesus not also called the Emmanuel now?
...nope... if he said, "I will be crucified and die and rise again in 3 days" and he did, that makes sense.Originally posted by Miracles&Prophecies:All prophecy from real God's prophet would come to pass no matter what.

yup .. this is the reason why the Jews rejected Jesus.Originally posted by AndrewPKYap:...nope... if he said, "I will be crucified and die and rise again in 3 days" and he did, that makes sense.
...otherwise anyone can say anything they like and people are supposed to find situations to fit what they say...
...if I say, a VIP will die in the next 3 months and a VIP dies, you are stupid enough to believe I am a prophet?
I believe that AndrewPKYap is an idiot and his posting in this forum confirms that AndrewPKYap is an idiot, does everyone believe I am a prophet or divinely blessed with wisdom?Originally posted by AndrewPKYap:...nope... if he said, "I will be crucified and die and rise again in 3 days" and he did, that makes sense.
