Plus, tempering of the Bible by Constantine to pursue his own agenda, and prophecies not being accurately dated.

The Bible is a delightful collection of stories meant to inspire people to live their lives by its lessons. The problem I've seen is that people take it too literally, rather than deriving the lessons from its stories. The prophecies, like other parables in the Bible, are meant to demonstrate potential outcomes of particular behaviors that are socially unacceptable, rather than to be construed as definitive predictions of what is to come.

Constantine didn't do diddily to the scriptures.The prophecies are far to intricate to go into here ."I'd be one of those dudes who take up 70 paragraphs pontificating so I'll say this.Isaiah 53 is not vague,neither is Psalm 22 when you read it think of yourself on the cross looking down.(crucifixtion wasn't even invented when David forsaw it).Neither is Zechariah 9:9 etc etc.

They really piss me off. Anyone can make prophecies such as these. As long as there are men to bear witness, there will always be war and catastrophe, it's logical to think this way, there has always been war, plagues and catastrophes.
A plane will crash in the future, see I just did it. Now when a plane crashes will I be considered a profit, or someone who just has a little bit of common sense.

The Holy Bible is the only book of history of the Past, Present, and Future.

Well, unfortunately, we will not be able to get so many people to understand this, so we just have to stay aware of what they're doing, and have patience and understanding of them.
