OT of OT: Rating Fyron -- no longer possible

[Ruatha]

About that majority thing.
Yes, the Christians aren't in any majority of the population.
But remember that today more people lives than there has ever existed in all of mankinds history , added up in atotal over time!

A very basic understanding of ancient history would show you that the Bible (all of the various parts of it) was written well after every historical event it supposedly predicted. As I am not a historian, I can not give you a bunch of commonly accepted dates off the top of my head. If I had a sufficient history book and a scanner, I could show you some dates. I think that the main problem here is that you guys are confused about or do not know about the basics of the historical timeline.

You and Rags have shown no evidence of these supposed predictions. All that Rags ever did was to say that the Bible predicted some events. Him just saying that does not make it true. I am still waiting on some actual evidence to be shown here.

And again, neither of you has given any convincing reasons on why Christianity is right and the vast majority of humans that have ever lived (as Christians make up less than a fraction of a percent (though that is probably overly generous) of the humans that have lived) are all wrong about their religious beliefs.

I have not tried to make any statements about particular predictions, in fact I have not posted to this thread before. I am merely pointing out that you continually insist that the Bible's predictions were always written after the fact, yet you show no evidence of that.

As to the percentage of people who are Christian, I do not have information about that for all people who have ever lived thoughout time, but I do have information for the current day (or at least 2000) and you might be surprised. According to ReligiousTolerance.org about 33% of the population of the earth claim Christianity. I actually did not make a statement about the correctness or incorrectness of anyone's religious beliefs, but you certainly have.

I bet it was someone in the Moon thread. Everytime I say something politically incorrect I get a bad rating.
Lol, I think I understand now what Fyron was feeling when he started this thread........

I want 5 stars!
*runs crying into the night*

Hah. Everytime you say something in these off topic threads, a person is not going to like what you say. Those that agree ith what you say, will not bother to vote, the other will want to show you they do not agree so they vote and give you a low rating.
Look at my rating
Anyway, i like OT discussions on a board with great diversity like this one.

Fyron, this contridicts all arguments you provided against me. By you saying this, you say that your arguments are no good either. As you have provided no proof as of yet. Therefore, I would suggest that you refrain from saying that I am wrong just because you say so until you provide solid evidence.
If I get some extra free time, I will pull up some dates for you to prove that events were indeed written in advance. But that is providing I get the time to do so.

Ture but some have. I would think that if someone makes the bold claim the bible predicts the future then they should be the ones to provide some evidence. Otherwise I could make all kinds of wild statements and then defend them with "well you can't prove me wrong..."?

Fyron, also going back to this...

Fyron, the only reason I kept coming back to offer counter arguments was because you were putting words in my mouth, or computer in this case.

No I did not. Again, you are wrong. bwhahahah.

Actually you did. Thus you are wrong. You said towards the end of the Last thread that as a Christian I only accept only the New testiment as true. That is totally not the case. 2nd Timothy 3:16 says that "All scripture is inspired of God and benificial." Therefore, I take the whole Bible seriously.

I will work on those dates sometime whenever I have the free time.

I only (and reluctantly) started posting to this thread because of the fact that Fyron insisted on arguing without proof that the Bible's predictions were always written after the fact. I accept his right to believe that, but I have a problem with his insistance that there is no possibility that another point of view could be correct. You are welcome to make any wild statements you want. I will only refute them if I have evidence to the contrary.
