The only possible way for people around the world to see an event is by television? Is DOC's god not intelligent enough to predict internet streaming?

My thought exactly. What about YouTube?
 
Yes I can. I'd wager that every single newbie reading any of your threads would be able to discern between a satire of your rediculous, unsupported, baseless claims and your actual rediculous, unsupported, baseless claims.

Do you know what rediculous means?
 
And while this very me-centered attitude is not unique to Christianity, there are religions which avoid it. The ultimate goal of Judaism is to save the world. In many forms of Buddhism, it’s to raise the state of all sentient beings.

save the world from what?
 
save the world from what?


Forgive the shorthand. The somewhat longerhand goes like this...

Eventually God will establish a Divine Kingdom on Earth. Between then and now there'll be a transition period -- the Messianic era. This transition will either be relatively easy on everyone, or relatively harsh.

It's the role of Jews to help pave the way for the coming Divine rule. This is accomplished by spiritual means (primarily obeying the many commandments of the Torah). If successful, the Jews will have "saved the world" by ensuring a relatively easy transition to the Divine Kingdom on Earth. In this sense, the role of the Jew is fundamentally altruistic.

Bear in mind this is my own very superficial understanding based on conversations with observant Jews. If someone has a better understanding, I hope they'll correct me.

Now, that's what I call a no-win situation! What a terrible job! Either way, they get the blame. ;)
 
Lysdexia, if your point is that UnrepentantSinner can't spell the word "ridiculous" then you're going about it in a very arsey way.

Considering that lysdexia brought up seafloor spreading as support of the bible, but seems to have deliberately ignored the term "subduction", I think that any grammar nitpicks he/she might make warrant the old NT gem regarding motes and logs in one's eye.

Issac Newton, the inventor of Calculus, and the Laws of Gravity (that Einstein credited with making his work possible) didn't seem to think The Book of Revelation (that he wrote 300,000 words on) and the Book of Daniel were a load of bullocks.

Yay.

So?
 
Quote from Bible:

And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth."


Are you really saying that the Bible has a prophecy about God setting off nuclear weapons against 'all those who fought against Jerusalem'?


Let's say a US president decides to nuke people who want to fight against Jerusalem and to destroy Israel. (aka Iran's leadership) I have a feeling that that president (who we know believes in God since an atheist can't get elected president in the US) will pray to God for guidance. If the US uses nuclear weapons first, God will be a part of that decision (in my lifetime anyway).

You are hoping that the US will use nuclear weapons just to make a biblical prediction apparently come true? Only a horrible person would think that way.
