you can not take a prophecy in the bible and use another bit of bible to say it came true. e.g. this passage i was reading about true bible prophesy
Examine the prophecies in Psalm 22 and read verses 12-18. This is a detailed description of the crucifixion--1000 years before Jesus was born. These verse are about the crucifixion of Jesus and was written 1000 years before Jesus was born. And on top of that, crucifixion hadn't even been invented yet. How do you think something like this could happen?" After a brief discussion, you could show him (or her) a few other prophecies like where Jesus' birthplace was prophesied (Micah 5:2), that He would be born of a virgin (Isaiah 7:14), that His side would be pierced (Zech. 12:10),
this is totaly circular!!! and meaningless. do you understand?

No, they will not understand. I do, but they won't. You may as well present your argument to an actual sheep, you may get better results.

The proof of a prophecy, whether it be from God, if the thing was prophesied in His name, is whether or not it happens. A prophecy given in His name that does not come true, didn't come from Him.
The answer concerning the Temple was excellent. And guess what? The Wailing Wall is coming down, because not one stone will be standing upon another. Jesus said it. The site of the Temple hasn't been moved, so that Wall will fall and this prophecy will be fulfilled.

That's the only way to prove something has come true. You take the prophecy and the fulfilment together. And also have you heard of God's plan. This was God revealing what Jesus had to go through. When you can accept Nostradamus' rantings as prophecy why won't you accept true fulfilled prophecy from the Bible.

No.
You are stating Psalm 22 verses 12-18 talk about a thing that was not existing at that time but was fulfilled (Historically)1000 years later.
That what prophesies are all about. Telling something that will happen before it happens.
Your "logic" is very confusing.

I suppose you could read Matthew 24 and then see if the Temple was really destroyed?
