[Ragnarok]

Just to clear up a few points before I do as Andres said and step aside for others in the conversation.

How can you prove it is prediction? That is the claim on which you base your argument. You can not prove this, so your argument has no base.

Again, if you read the Bible, then look at secular history, you will see that the Bible does in fact predict future events, well actually, it's not the Bible that does this, God is. The Bible was inspired by God to be written. But we won't go into that.
But let me say this, since you say that I cannot prove my argument, then neither can you. You yourself have yet to prove that it is
postdiction. Therefore, your argument has no base either.

That was not an example you gave. You said that the new testament said that Jerusalem would fall to Babylon. In fact, you said this:

quote:

---

quote:It was foretold that Jerusalem would be destroyed in one night by the Babylon army, those that survived would be carried off into exile for 70 years and then return to their homeland to restore their city. This in fact did happen.

There was nothing about Assyrians.

---

Simple human mistake. The events were Jerusalem fell to Babylon, and then Babylon fell to Assyria. I simple forgot which example I used. But either one would be relevent as both were foretold years in advance.

Oh, so he said that some very common disasters that had happened in the past would happen again? That is like saying the sun will rise tomorrow. Well duh. It doesn't make it impressive at all, and does not mean that anything else in the Bible is true just because of that.

No, let me clearify what I was saying. Yes, these events took place in the past, no doubt about that, and it would be quite easy to say they will happen in the future, but what Timothy said was indicating that there would be more of these events taking place in the time of the end. If you do a bit of research you can find that there have been more earthquakes since 1914 up to now, then there was from the beginning of time. That is true. I forget the numbers but it's ALOT more then there used to be.

Ok, now I have said my peace and will do as Andres said, I have a religious opposition to the arguments you provided.
It was a enjoyable conversation to say the least.
