2 Timothy 3 and 4 talks about the last days. It states that men will be haters of G-d and lovers of their own opinions. But this line really makes me think of Dawkins:
"the time will come when most men will not listen to sound doctrine, and men will hire more and more teachers to tell them what their burning ears desire to hear."
None of these things were true 60 years ago...but they sure are today. More true than 2 years ago.
How do you people who practically worship this man feel about the bible predicting his type 2000 years ago. Does that really make him seem as smart as you thought he was 1 minute ago?
Blessings for the truth in 2007

Sure, and no other generations have ever thought that they were fulfilling Bible prophesy have they?
This has been the mantra since at least they guys who wrote the Dead Sea Scrolls who were saying the same things. Can't you tell that they are general enough that every generation has thought that they were the ones? Please give us a fixed date that we can be sure that it will happen by so we can know when we will stop hearing about it.
And us "worshiping" Dawkins??? I've never even read him because I know I mostly agree with him and that means there isn't much for me to learn there.

So have people for thousands of years before and after Jesus was born. Richard Dawkins could say the same about your opinion. I don't see how you can think there is any truth here. But maybe if you get better at spinning propaganda the Fox news network might bring you on as some one to intrepid the news for them. There is a name for those who work solely to drag people down....

"None of these things were true 60 years ago...but they sure are today. More true than 2 years ago."
You've got to be kidding!
Read Emerson. Read the writings of the non-Christian founders. Read the writings of the early Pagans.
These things have been true since there was more than one religion on Earth. It's nothing new, and has nothing to do with Biblical prophesy.
And it has nothing to do with people speaking what people want to hear. That's accomplished with "Popular Psychology" and other such rags.

So you are saying the people who wrote the Bible knew that there would come the time when people would realize how ridiculous some of their concepts are?
If the Bible predicted that, then the Bible knows it isn't the supreme truth and word of God, therefore the Bible is smarter than quite a few people I know.

The writer of Timothy thought he was living in the latter days, as did all the writers. Meanwhile, two millennia later, nothing has changed, and everything is just as it was then. Of course, the writers were wrong, and they were false prophets (perhaps with good intentions but wrong nonetheless).

Like I've said before, of course the bible states that believers in the bible would be persecuted. Even the authors of the bible knew how ridiculous it sounded...

"the time will come when most men will not listen to SOUND doctrine, and men will hire more and more teachers to tell them what their burning ears desire to hear."
Since when is the bible sound?

Sounds like Christians to me.

Sure David. People who don't believe in God X "know" that they're fulfilling the prophecies of God X. That's just how logic works!
