The Problem with Christians

[Esquilax]

Studying the "magic book" does indeed tell us we are in the last days. If you study the Greek, you'll find that one of the signs of the lasts days is "nation rising against nation" and "kingdom against kingdom." The only time the world has been at war in such a manner is WWI and WWII. So from that time on, the last days have been in operation. It's anyone's guess as to how long this period will last.

It must be very convenient to be able to construct conditions for your beliefs that make them unfalsifiable and without a failure state. The rest of us don't really have that luxury: we have to bend to certain reasonable requirements for logical beliefs, rather than just making up whatever we want to insulate what we want to be true from being refuted.

You can't have the return of Christ until there is a rebuilt temple in Jerusalem and a range of other factors. The fact that people have missed this and misinterpreted Scripture doesn't make the Scripture wrong.

How do you know you aren't misinterpreting the scripture too? Hell, how do you even know there's something to interpret in the scripture that corresponds to reality?

A failed prediction is one that doesn't happen by the time it was specified to happen.

And you don't see a problem, then, in posing that a prophecy is coming true, but that the specified time is "anyone's guess?"
