Again brethren and non brethren.... notice how Bjorn, has asked a sincere question from his research.
It may be questioning but that is definitely allowable and definitely honourable.
You know I am getting oh so very tired of all the religious woos insisting that we tug our forlock and say "please enlighten us oh master, you know so much more than we do" and if we don't they whine and moan and stomp their little feet like children and threaten to report us to the mods.
I have no problem respecting religious individuals, there are many here that I do respect, but for the blow-hard "great-I-am" and "I-know-all-and bow-and-scrape-and-be-grateful-for-my-wisdom" fools I say GET OVER YOURSELF.
DJJ where do you get off determining what questions are allowable? This is not your website, you do not control what is said here. You have come to a skeptics forum. It is a place where people are allowed to speak their minds freely, unlike many other places that choose delete unwanted posts and ban people for expressing dissenting opinions.
But the first clue to getting prophecy is take the overall evuidence, that is repeated opver and over and over and over again and again as your basics, rather than one verse as your opinion or dogma.
What overall evidence? Words in very old books that express vague notions? Vague notions with no timeline given for these events so that believers can pick and choose things and be amazed when they can fit the words to events they know? That is not evidence at all.
For the Bible's truths, the very basics were set down by the Lord to give us a starting point and the future cohesively.... and all his prophets had to speak as one if they spoke via the Lord, and what you find out is that their prophecies do in fact melt together as they spoke their particular prophecy but it fits together with the whole.
The bible was written by men not by any god. What proof do you have that prophets were speaking via the lord? And sorry, but the bible is not proof of that.
Do not get caught up in a tree, when you first have to see the forest. Its exactly the same as other types of KNOWLEDGE, a truth is not segregated but integrated with all other truths and laws and principles. We have to go by the overwhelming preponderances of truths.
Ooooh the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, yawn.
I see no truths in your musty old book. Lots of pretty words. Lots of horrible stories that point to a very petulant, vain, mean, uncaring and obnoxious sky daddy.
Definitely no truths there.
