Evidence of the Bible's Validity

[The Valkyrie]

First off, hello jimmy, and welcome to our forum. You seem like a reasonaly intelligent person and I hope to see more of you here.


To counter your point, there are three ways in which prophecies are "fulfilled".
1. They are vague and usually need to be interpreted. Much like for example modern day laws.
2. They are written after the event occurs.
3. They are essentially guesses. For example lets say country A is invading country B. A prophet comes up in country B says "Woah you will be destroyed!" Now if country B fails and is destroyed, he is a prophet. Howvere if country B wins the war he is just Harold Camping.

Hello, and thank you. You appear to be the first person here to come up with an intelligent response.

1. That is true. Some of these prophecies are vague and up for interpretation.

2. Yes, I try to focus only on prophecies that must have been written before the event. The Book of Revelation, for example, was written sometime during the first or MAYBE second century. The fulfillment of most of those prophecies has not yet occurred.

3. Yes, some of them are pretty much guesses. The more specific they are, though, the harder they are to guess. For example, if I say "A car will drive past on this road in exactly ten minutes" that wouldn't be a very impressive prediction. But if I said it would be a Red Honda Pilot, then it would be less likely that it was a mere guess. More so if I described the car AND the driver. Certain prophecies in the Bible are so complex that it becomes very unlikely that it could just happen by coincidence.

Sorry but you have had a number of responses here, including one from me, that addressed the vagueness of prophecies.

It seems you chose to ignore most of those, however.
