Good snipers take into account all information, possibilities, contingencies and probabilities. Of course, some snipers believe in luck, like the prophets who got stoned, because they weren't divinely guided.

OP, look outside your window. I saw good becoming evil and evil good. Darn, another propecy fulfilled. I saw where men were sharing their wives. I saw a nation turning from God. I saw a nation floundering. Darn, more fulfillment. See what you want to see. You are self fulfilling. Simple question simple answer. I'm done this will go no where.

It seems to me that most prophecies are so vague and open-ended that they are almost useless. Something happens and those who want to believe find a way to make it fit the prophecy. Since the prophecy is written in such a way that its meaning tends to be rather obscure, that's usually easily done. If someone knows of a prophecy previously written, and deliberately takes actions simply to fulfill that prophecy, is is really still accurate?
I'm not saying it never happens or has never happened, even those of other religions or no religion at all have sometimes made accurate predictions. I've done a little reading of various prophecy and overall I don't find them terribly convincing.

I believe in God and His Son Jesus Christ.
I believe that baiting a post like this will do nothing to convince anyone of your points.
I believe this thread will only serve to tick off the ones you are trying to reach.
I believe this will most likely be my last reply to this thread.

We can read the scripture and compare whether those who claimed to be profits enlightened by God to the prophecies they made and whether they did in fact come to pass historically.
If a man told you he was a prophet God directed him to inform us the prophecy and if those things he said did come to be always true, even seemingly impossible events, and none were missed, one could dismiss the prophet as being lucky or one could get a clue.
Those too stupid or stiffnecked to get a clue, being of sound mind, wouldn't be worthy of the knowing the truth. Are you related to Gus?

How is posting scripture of Biblical prophicies that later became historical fact arguing religion?
I thought the facts interesting. If you don't why are you on this thread. Oh, to denigrate a believer. Sorry if the Bible stories make you uncomfortable.

I dont understand why anyone would call posting an old story arguing. I dont know why anyone would read a thread that they werent interested in. I joined because of the things I read on RCs thread and I wanted to add my 2 cents. It got me to thinking about how do we know He is. Most of us know by having asked to be saved and having become a different and better person because of it. I also have met many a-holes with the unchristian high brow attitude. I read the Bible many years ago. Having read the prophecies lately impressed on me the fact that adding up those that are historical fact is an indication that some of those who made fantastic prognostications also predicted the coming Christ. Maybe they were right again.
