Biblical Prohecies That Came True? (page 20)

Are you not following the thread? You are so sure of yourself, "an outright fabrication," a sweeping statement indeed, for which I need proof.

Are you not following the thread?

Of course I am. It's just that's I've said so many things, I wasn't sure which one confused you. Much like Biblical prophecy, you weren't specific and your reqest could have fit any number of posts.

I am sure of myself. Knowing the subject matter will do that to a person.

Here you go. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Council_of_Jamnia

We aren't debating whether or not certain councils happened, so don't try to detail the conversation with debate regarding this, please. It's a hypothesis based on scant evidence talking about something different than the hypothesis.

The debate is whether or not there is a Biblical prophecy that came true with specific names, dates and events described with exact fulfillment.

Viv, after all we've been through, you're like a stuck record, specific names, dates and events. And I repeat, it would be impossible to get first hand knowledge of these things unless you have a time machine. And the Council of Jamnia was your straw man (Phizzy also assisted there). Did you not read the quote from Prof. Kahle's book? You're right, it's not important, but you made an issue out of it. I looked it up and found a lot of conflicting sources. But you were so sure of yourself, I thought you had proof, but actually you've only got the opinion of the person that wrote the Wikipedia article. What an anticlimax!

Hi there Punky, good to hear from you. Perhaps the Israelites were disobedient to their God, and did not follow orders. Concerning the Jebusites, eventually David got rid of them, if I remember correctly. Better late than never. Not sure of Ezekiel's prophecy concerning Egypt though. Let me look it up and see what I can unearth.

A prophet is one who speak for God so a prophesy need not be about predicting the future.

Hi Vid. How you doing? I hope you're ok.

That would be a first

Thanks. I couldn't see much about it.

So, we still have not found a Bible prediction that fits Viv's very fair criteria, and could thus be called a Prophesy.

Yet we do know things about history, specific names, dates, events, etc., just none of of Biblical prophecy. It's clearly not impossible to know what happened in the past.

And the Council of Jamnia was your straw man (Phizzy also assisted there). Did you not read the quote from Prof. Kahle's book? You're right, it's not important, but you made an issue out of it.

A straw man? You brought it up, so you made a straw man argument against what? Ifit's not important, why did you bring it up? Why, if you brought it up, would have an issue with someone commenting on it?

But you were so sure of yourself, I thought you had proof, but actually you've only got the opinion of the person that wrote the Wikipedia article. What an anticlimax!

I did provide proof. Reality is often not as exciting as fantasy. The guy made up the council, no proof has ever been found in the 143 years since he made it up.

Since we clearly can know what happened in the past with specific names, dates and events recorded with no time machine needed, can anyone provide an example of a Biblical prophecy coming true exactly as foretold, having predicted specific names, dates and events?

Viviane

A prophet is one who speak for God so a prophesy need not be about predicting the future.

Do you have an example of someone confirmed by God to be a prophet making a prophesy? That will basically turn into a theological argument with no one able to prove their specific "God" so is really just an argument about whether God exists.

What about Israel becoming a nation again? If that was mentioned... sorry! I read through the first five pages.

Viviane

What specifically was in the prophecy and what specifically happened?
