Bible prophecies

[orangebox21]

I honestly don't get what you're asking here exactly. Are you implying that, because a prophecy failed, that therefore it couldn't have been predicted?

No, sorry for the confusion. No, I'm not implying that this prophecy couldn't have been preached. It was preached, but has not yet been fulfilled.

Furthermore, a failed prediction would be a generation witnessing 'these things' and yet perishing before the 'these things' are fulfilled. Did this happen?

Yes, it did.

No, the generation living at the time of Christ did not witness 'these things'. Therefore they could not have both witnessed 'these things' and perished.

They all perished before these things have yet to occur.

True.

In fact, they haven't even happened yet.

True.

So false prophecy either way.

Nope. A failed prophecy would be a generation witnessing 'these things' and perishing. Not witnessing these things or perishing.

We first have to establish what the kingdom is and when it came/is to come. Christ did believe that some of his followers would taste death (John 21:18-19).

Well, it doesn't matter what John says as we're debating what another passage in another book is saying.

It's relevant to your question about whether or not Jesus believed the people He was speaking to would die. He did.

From my understanding, Jesus believed death would be no more once the kingdom came. So in light of this understanding, it makes perfect sense that he would say some in his time would not taste death, knowing that Jesus thought the kingdom was near.

What scriptural reference led you to this conclusion?

Well, partly because that's what Jesus in the Synoptic Gospels implied.

Where?
