If you look at Bible prophecy there is two that is verifiable and that is the Jews returning to Israel and that God promised he wouldn't destroy them.
The Jews have been persecuted throughout history and many have tried to destroy them but have failed. That fulfills the promise by God that he won't destroy the line of David.
The Bible also says God will gather his people back to Israel and that happened in 1948 with the creation of the state of Israel.
And sofar 40 major 'official' bible-based prophecies of kaboom-day going wrong.
But it's ofcourse convenient to disregard THESE failed prophecies, as they.........let me guess..... were made by the 'wrong' kind of christians.
The RATIONAL approach requires predictability and uniform answers (not to mention a strictly followed and well-defined methodology). Obviously the IRRATIONAL approach isn't that pernickety.
Actually, the Tribulation is an open ended prophecy, the Lord gives his saved children signs that we shall recognize when it begins. Guess what? You're not saved so you aren't going to see it coming. We already see it coming, in fact were in the Time of Sorrows right now. Now be a good atheist and go dig in the bible to try to prove me wrong using passages you couldnt possibly understand. Or your own "human" rationality.edit on 31-8-2011 by lonewolf19792000 because: (no reason given)

Ever notice the word 'version' in King James VERSION. The word 'version' clearly indicates that this book is merely the interperatation of King James. I find it hard to communicate with grown adults who actually believe in Santa Claus. When one relies solely on faith or a book written by man as proof of his god's existence his existence is only further damned by faulty evidence. Blind faith is not proof, and should never be seen as such, for the minds of men will come apart on this day and intelligence shall be outlawed.

I was wondering if your name has any relation to the Bogomils of the tenth century Balkans, the Cathar sect?

Gotcha. I just found it interesting because I didn't think anyone on here would even know who the Bogomils were. Most of them seem to be low IQ southern religious nuts. Every time I hear the name jesus I can only think of the blue inbreds of hazard county.

I try to stay formally polite on this forum, so I won't relate to this publicly. But there HAVE been times on this thread, where pages were spend basically alternatively saying: "Because" and "because why?".
I had to gurgle my brain with linseed-oil before writing posts here, to make it smooooooth.

And lets not forget the scripture quotes that have nothing to do with anything related to the topic, or the questions asked to the OP...
Ya this thread has been a hoot, but its been reduced to a simple chatty banter between the few logical people participating in it.
Sadly...our OP disapeared two pages ago... possibly to confer with his associates about the "fallibility" of the bible?
Who knows lol

Lucifer and Satan are "kind of" the same being. He is the second most powerful entity in the universe though....so if you were not going to serve the Most High God, I can certainly see you serving the second best....we can't all be winners in this life you know.
That's because it was written by a humanist Catholic priest by the name of Erasmus who cherry picked all the known manuscripts to find versions that fit his philosophy. He got it to sound like the NT taught that faith was a virtue to be exercised as a way to earn salvation. He also added parts he thought were missing and freely edited it to sound better to his ear.
...the King James Bible is better and more accuarte than the "original manuscripts" that Peter, Paul, Moses, etc wrote.
correct me where I am wrong
