Bible prophecies

RE: Bible prophecies


Nope. I'm saying that the generation Jesus was speaking to is not the generation He was speaking of. To fit your analogy to your argument, the crowd He'd be speaking to would be reflected by the content of the speech. In this case the content is defined as the characteristics of the fish He was describing (speckled green). So according to your argument the crowd would all have to be fish, and speckled green. To fit my argument He'd be speaking to a crowd about a fish and the crowd would not be reflected by the content of the speech (they wouldn't be fish, or speckled green). Your analogy actually supports my argument.

Furthermore, it happens all the time in normal conversation that the person we are speaking to is not the person we are speaking about.

I was having a conversation with a historian. He said to me: "In the Late Middle Ages (1340–1400) Europe experienced the most deadly disease outbreak in history when the Black Death, the infamous pandemic of bubonic plague, hit in 1347, killing a third of the human population. It is believed that this generation subsequently became more violent as the mass mortality rate cheapened life and thus increased warfare, crime, popular revolt, waves of flagellants, and persecution." (this is a fictional conversation used as an illustration, facts taken from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bubonic_pl...t_outbreak)

Is the historian speaking of his generation as the one that experienced the Black death?

To what scripture passage are you referring?
(June 18, 2014 at 9:44 am)ThomM Wrote: Certainly his claimed resurrection had not glory - it did not fulfill the messiah prophecies -

Is your position that because Christ did not fulfill all the messianic prophecies prior to His crucifixion His resurrection had not glory?

I can think of at least four historical records of that time that mention it.
And those are?
