Failed Biblical Prophecies

[Darkstar]

Even if you are confused about who did what, it is still an absolute wonder and the details of where and what happen to the city are accurate.

How is that surprising? The where is obvious; where else could it be but the cityu itself. The fact that it was washed over is not so shocking that it must be a prophecy, as it was in an area where the possibility of this happeneing was very real. Now, if a desert city was put underwater, that would be a little more convincing.
Is this the only way you can win an arguement? What of the 'facts' you spoke of in my last thread, and how I was supposedly ignoring them??? Who is ignoring facts for the sake of his own faith about the status of a city that no one has literally seen for 3000 years?

Even if you honestly in your heart can not resolve whether or not Tyre has ever been found, you must admit that the rest of the prophesy is very specific and accurate.

I can resolve it. Tyre has been found. If you are going to redefine 'found' for your convenience, you are also going to have to redefine never, because doing something after 3000 is not never doing it. The prophecy strongly suggested that Nebuchadnezzar would lay waste to the city, ehich he did not do. It is possible to interpret part of the passage as saying that another nation could finish the job. Regardless of whether Nebuchadnezzar did as much damage as the bible claimed he would, the city had been found. Yes, it took 3000 years, but the bible said never found. If the city has been found, then even if the rest of the prophecy could be interpreted in a way that would allow it to line up with actual events, the bible, (i.e. god himself) was wrong on the note of it never being found, and therefore the bible is falliable.

You are playing games with the word found I posted the Hebrew word and defination. You are taking a modern english defination and applying to a word that includes neuaunces that you have not accounted for.

Five definitions, and only the last one could possibly be used to support your argument. Also, does bringing back artifacts count as 'gaining'? And what is secured? You mean like how secure Jeruselum was prophecized to be, before it got razed?
