[quote]Well, first of all, what is considered destruction? Hiroshima and Nagasaki were destroyed by nuclear weapons; an attack more akin to what one might expect from a vengeful omnipotent being. Yet, these cities have been rebuilt, and are still called by their original names. The bible says that Nebuchadnezzar would ruin the city, but the one to do it was Alexander the great. [/quote] Actually Nebuchadnezzar did ruin the city. He killed the men and enslaved the women and children. His army occupied the main land city for 13 years. I don't know if you saw and pictures of our occupation of Iraq but in Sadam's personal homes in the 6 to 9 months they were occupied by our forces, they were not well cared for, and we considered ourselves a 'civial' occupying force. Now put 20,000 men in a place they do not want to be for 13 years with no care or respect for the place or the people keeping them their.. and you might have a little bit of an understanding as to why the people of Tyre never rebuilt the main land city. It remained in ruins till Alexander took the rubble of the city and cast it into the sea. Thus full filling the Prophecy.
[quote]It said the city wouldn't ever be found, but we have found it; even if we haven't excavated the city former. [/quote]'We' haven't found anything. We think we know where it is according to works of ancient historeans.
[quote]The point he was making was that even if we overlooked all of these flaws, this prophecy would still in no way prove that god had anything to do with the destruction of the Phonecian version of Tyre.[/quote]
It's this your thread? Isn't your thread about failed prophecies? What is the point of trying to prove a fail prophecy if God is not tied to the events? Why did you spend 13 pages desperatly trying to defend the idea this prophecy was not full filled, if it has nothing to do with proving God had anything to do with the events?
Your a rat leaving a sinking ship.
