  1. Not at all. There are many very specific prophecies in the Old Testament. One of them is that God said He would scatter the Israelites and then bring them back. Very specific as well as unlikely to have happened apart from God's power to make it happen.

    I did not SUGGEST he was a prophet from God! I simply suggested that maybe he, through his prose, could see the future, just like the writers of the Bible thought THEY could see the future!

    Don't you see what you just quoted, and how waylayed you are?

    If someone says something that does not lead to God, no matter how true it is, it must be false. This is your Achilles's Heel.

    You are the opposite of Occam's Razor!

  4. Can anyone reading this name any other people group that was scattered for very long time without a homeland and then they returned to their homeland?

    So, one thing that makes Israel so unique, is that this has never (to my knowledge) happened before to other ethnic groups.

    The next thing that makes it unique is that God said that He would do it before He did it.

    So those two things together give very strong evidence that God is real, He declared what He would do, and then He did, what has never before occurred.

    For all I know, these 'biblical scholars' could be like Trump supporters, they like to rewrite history.
    We are all latecomers to events, how do we know these so called prophesies weren't written or edited afterwards?
    It's been thousands of years since these writings and events occured, the way cultists behave I wouldn't put anything past them to add or subtract to the narrative.

    As for the Jews, if Abraham had written: "One day our nation will be as one in the South Pole", well then I'm sure Jews would have made their home in the South Pole.

    Which bible verse are you refering to here?

    ".....Depending on religious definitions and varying population data, the United States has the largest or second largest Jewish community in the world, after Israel. As of 2020, the American Jewish population is estimated at 6.4 million people, accounting for 1.9% of the total US population. This includes 4.9 million adults who identify their religion as Jewish, 1.2 million Jewish adults who identify with no religion, and 1.6 million Jewish children."

    Surely someone as spiritually wise as you've claim to be multiple times knows that they've dated the texts.

    It's the only thing that can evidence the credibility of The Bible, since you don't 'believe in' The Bible.

    What are you afraid of? Why are you crying about it?

    Why don't you just bang on and prove to us that no prophecies were ever fulfilled? You have no problem with banging on about everything else biblical.

    Yes, but the interpreting, the language we have now does not necesserily relflect what they were talking about then.
    Christian do gooders; when someone says something 'godly' you all nod your heads in agreement.
