Bible prophecies

[Fidel_Castronaut]

There's another that science is now warning us about, and if we do not stop the carbon emissions it very well may not be reversible and the end of man will come. The very science that people here says will destroy Christianity is bring truth to the scriptures, God said that if Christ did not return at His appointed time man would destroy himself. There's enough oil and coal to last another 300 years, if an alternative source of energy is not developed we want last 300 years.

Surely this is just fitting non-descriptive, vague ancient writings that could in no way predict (aside blind luck) the context of future generations?

Nobody here takes stock of the bible and its 'prophecies' GC, you should know that.,

Besides, I can't remember seeing in the bible where it gives us a viable, long term energy course beyond fossil fuels, or indeed the methodology to master fusion power etc.

Plus, Christ said that he will come back pretty soon, he did not, so can we agree that that is a failed prophecy ?

“Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.” - Matthew 24:34

I've dealt with this one before. The apologetic gymnastics were so good they'd make the matrix characters look like amateurs.

One of the answers I got was that Jesus didn't mean a literal coming back. He was referring to the transfiguration on the hill. Made me wanna cry!

It's such nonsense. Because a timeframe is undefined they can claim that effectively any time will fulfill it. Like that somehow adds legitimacy to such a bogus and irrelevant nonsensical piece of fiction.

Just redefine words or reinterpret meanings and keep doing it until you've pulled the wool over peoples eyes or succeeded in making such a gish-gallop of rebuttals that nobody knows where they stand any more.
