The Bible Proved Right Again? Yes!

[Theland]

If we follow the evidence, as I have done for many years, then we can suffer a blow out like Richard Dawkins, who ignores the evidence in favour of his own misguided atheistic zeal, or honestly and rationally come to the conclusion that God exists.
Do you agree?

[vetuste_ennemi]

Doesn't Matthew 24 describe the destruction of Jerusalem and the triumphant return of Son of Man in clouds of glory?

And weren't these end times to be observed by the generation to whom Jesus spoke? ("This generation will not pass away until..."?

What are you trying to prove as right? I can't find it anywhere? If you think RD an atheist, he is. So what is the blow you suffered. I am guided by science and I believe in God. There is no reason on earth that one can be factual and spiritual as long as there is evidence. Do I believe the earth was created in 6 days, hell no! Does that belie my religious beliefs, not a chance. The old testament is full of myths taken from other religions and everyone should be educated enough to realize this. If you cannot accept scientific fact as to the age of the earth than this whole bible proved right again scenario is a joke. Those who spout literally the bible are the ones with the closed minds. God doesn't expect us to take the word literally, he expects us to THINK, and then put forth the actual interpretations of the word. He is giving us the benefit of the doubt that we can figure out the obvious. Let's keep things simple here my friends. Use the mind he gave you to figure out the obvious.

What's this "again" in the thread title ?

[Zacs-Master]

The bible works on the principle that if you write enough vague sheeite, some of it will come true.

//Present evidence? No thanks. I would just like you to seriously investigate yourselves.//

Err, some of us have, and unlike yourself, have actually taken the trouble to read the Bible from cover to cover.

[Zacs-Master]

I,could read an Airbus A380 manual cover to cover. Doesn't mean I understand it.

" If we follow the evidence, as I have done for many years".
Yet, will not/cannot produce one shred to back up this statement, hypocrisy at its best.

Richard Dawkins: "The evidence is there for all to see!"
Sceptical Theist: "Where?"
Richard Dawkins: "Have a look at Figures 3a, 3b and Table 4 in this paper, as well as these highly-cited and peer-reviewed journals from 1989, 1991, 1992, June and December 95, 2001, three in 2002, a review article in 2003..."

Do you also believe The Earth is flat? You seem to have the same mindset and level of intelligence as a flat earther?

This is a fairly standard post fom Theland.

The main 'Prophecy fulfilled' upon which he relies is the foundation of the State of Israel.......he'll mutter about 'numerous others' but is a little 'detail-light' when pressed to name them.

A little light reading regarding biblical 'prophecies'
https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Biblical_prophecies.

I was an evangelical Christian in my teenage years (hence the reason why I read the bible from cover to cover. I was a voracious reader and read everything I could get my hands on Re: the bible, Christian apologetics, church history, prophecy etc. When the logical side of my brain kicked in and I started to question my church leaders they actually asked me to leave because I wasn't displaying 'faith'. Thank God (pun intended) that I didn't spend the rest of my life in this barmy, backward and retarded religion.

IF everyone followed Jesus's sermon on the mount, or principles of same said thing to the best of their ability, then there would be no need for these religious organisations. ( That ruin a lot of followers lives)

//The main 'Prophecy fulfilled' upon which he relies is the foundation of the State of Israel.......//

The prophecy is ‘fulfilled’ not because of some supernatural ‘magic’ but because the Jews never lost sight of it, keeping it alive across the centuries. Israel exists only because the powers that were at the time conceded to its foundation, not because of anything ‘God’ did.

[Theland]

William Lane Craig, Stephen Meyer, (Signature In The Cell), Spike Psarris, John Lennox, Michael Behe, just a few convincing lectures on YouTube that present evidence.

"God doesn't expect us to take the word literally"

And you know that how, exactly?

[naomi24]

Theland, If intelligent design is a possibility, it doesn’t follow – indeed, logically, it’s highly unlikely - that the designer is the Biblical character you’re so terrified of. Just something you might like to think about – but I doubt it.

[mibn2cweus]

There are none more accountable for the evils that have befallen humankind throughout history than those seeking fulfillment of their God's prophecies.

[atalanta]

I have never stopped being amused by the fact that 2 of the world's major religions began with scrumping. What exactly does scrumping prove ?

[DTCwordfan]

nicking an apple, 2 religions based on theft, physically and theft of individual thought?

[cassa333]

No
