His arguement states that the last version of Tyre was the same as Ezekiel's prophecied tyre. It wasn't plain and simple. the two citys share a name, they don't even share the same space.
Jerusalem although is not the same city it was back then, at least it has not moved, and therefore can be identified as the same city. This is not the case with tyre. it foundations were move 4 times making each encarnation a seperate city from the last.
Ezekiel's prophesy did not say there would never be another city name tyre, only that His city would be completely destroyed. it was. The damage was so extensive they could not build where the first city was.
Thus stomping mini's arguement.
We're all aware of the sophistry you're forced to employ, Drich.

And again, you're reduced to this pathetic "the bible doesn't not say this thing I'm making up isn't true, and therefore it is," crap. Given the kind of mental gymnastics you're having to employ, what's more likely: that a speciously supported magic prophecy is false, or that it's actually true, but that the author was so completely incapable of clearly communicating information- despite knowing the future- that he's forced to speak in vagaries and riddles that, coincidentally, can only be accurately translated by you, and they just so happen to agree with your every position?
