This stuff needs to be abolished or something. Every religion says they have prophecy written into their text, but in reality they are all too vaugely worded and can, and have, been taken thousands of different ways in the past. If I wanted to take the time I could write a book of prophecy that could be construed to unfold the events thousands of years down the line. I can not see how any logical, nay, conscious human mind can not see this.

justin, if you understood Christianity, maybe you would capitalize the world "Bible". Lmao... You say something that makes no sense and don't explain what your are talking about. How old are you, 13?

join the club - what's going on today with prophecy is what's known as self-full filling prophecy where believers are doing everything they can to "see to it" some prophecy is full-filled. I fail to understand how, if I say some day a temple is going to be built on a certain spot of land to my followers, and then sometime in the future people make sure it happens, how that is prophecy.
The only way to prove something be a true prophecy, would be to write something down in secret, seal it in something with proof of the date amid witnesses, and once that prophecy is full-filled, then reveal it in a controlled manner, and gain, with witnesses.
But, that would take too much time.

True prophecy is from God about events in the future, and it is often very specific. How would you propose to abolish it?

i do not see how any human mind does not understand the times, like jesus said....
when you see clouds coming from the west, you say its going o rain. yet, you do not recognize the signs of the times.
my guess is though (i say this respectively) you do not really understand the bible.
the bible even says...people will mock and scoff at the idea....and say it has already come.
well if you understood it "dear"...you wouldn't say such foolish things. so that's kinda a moot point "child".
son...how old are you??? seriously??? i am probably going to be a seminarian soon. so would you like to put your money where your mouth is???
ps..i dont capitalize anything on here at all. was that not obvious???

false prophets will come and deceive many, it is in scripure so just soak it up, the one that bothers me is all the rapture theories but hey they have their rights aswell so just keep on playing your guitar.

Hey, at least it's entertaining to sit back and watch Jesus not come back, again, to watch the "end" not happen, again...
