Stop wasting your time, xtians.
Strange how you lump all Christians in with those crackpot doomsdayers. Wow. That's as bad as me assuming all atheitards have your puppy like IQ. All the important prhesies were fulfilled with christs life death and resurrection. Let's leave it at that. Move on.

I'm sure G-C has a doctorate of divinity from Trailer Park U. in Sewage Pipe, Mississippi that tells him he is an "expert." I bet he paid $25 whole dollars for it on the internet like this one.

Actually - I spent two years in a seminary - was raised to be a Priest - had three Uncles who were Catholic Priests - and UNLIKE most of them - have actually read the bible - completely. (I memorized large portions of it as well)
But - early on I realized that the bible was largely a collection of fictional stories - exaggerations - and even laughable nonsense
WHY
Because the nuns who taught at the schools I went to TOLD me that - when they disagreed among themselves. I would go to one class and be told that the bible is completely inerrant - and to another where the nun pretty laughed that off - and would say things like "YOU really don't accept that - do you? YOU are smarter than that!"
In this particular case - the person asking for PROOF - simply does not know his own bible and what is in it. So when I quote the actual passages that support the statements - I simply point that out.
By the way - studies have shown that it is the NON-Believers who know more about the bible and the religions than those that still believe.
When I am asked by people - who want to make a decision about religion - I simply say - READ the bible - the whole bible - Front to back. Don't miss a word. If after you have read the bible - you can actually justify believing that it is completely coherent, logical - and TRUE - by all means get mental help.

Actually - it has been FAR LONGER than that - that they have predicted the coming of the "Messiah" - at least a thousand years longer.
The problem is that the prophecies of the messiah do not add up to the Christ myth to begin with. AMong other things - the messiah was to unite ALL the people of the world under the JEWISH religion - have all who were not Jewish admit they were wrong - and usher in a thousand years of peace - among other things. The messiah was to be a MAN - (Not a god) - of the male lineage of David (IF david ever lived - and that is not certain).
If the messiah is coming to bring everyone under the Jewish religion - why are there Xtians at all?
Nothing better than some simpleton atheitard or flunked out priest giving us these incorrectly interpreted prophesies and then telling us how they never came to pass. Talk about your self fulfilling prophesy!!!! Don't bore us with your misinterpreted scripture. U bore me.
