God describes something, and 'we' have an idea of how that something is supposed to play out or how God is supposed to make something happen like with Christ.
So what is the problem? Is it the fact that God has described something wrong? No! It is the pride that man has to think his understanding of anything is or should be the bench mark. Rather than say hey, God said X but I understand X to look like Y so when I see X rather than Y it is God (or the Lack of God) that has me experience X rather than the Y I was looking for. Why can 'we' admit when we are wrong that we do not always know how things are going to play out?...
Amen, Drich! When the Bible seems to be wrong, the fault is not with the Bible but with us for not reading it the right way. When fully appreciating the miracle of Biblical prophecy and how inerrant it is, one must look at it in terms of events that have unfolded and fit the words to what has happened.
Now some godless heathen trash might call this "confirmation bias applied to a post hoc analysis of the outcome in order to find a justification for a conclusion you'd already made" but I call it following the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
Now, the pagans also use this kind of thinking to justify their Horoscopes but we both know that's silly because the Holy Spirit isn't leading them. But when you look at Biblical prophecy, that's the real thing.
