Is this just another example of Christian dishonesty?

Best Answer - Chosen By Voters

1948 Israel became a nation.
1967 Jews captured Israel.
Jews returning to Israel by the thousands.
(PROPHESY FULFILLED) Just to name ONE example.....

None of this is precisely detailed in the bible, it is extremely vague at best. You're just filling in the blanks however you want.

So I ask again. Using chapter, verse and detailed history, can you give me a precise and detailed example of fulfilled prophesy?

So far all these answers are vague and loosely translated. More examples of Christian dishonesty.

Answer 1

There is a propaganda war going on now with regard to the term “Palestine.” At one time it might have been argued that Palestine was an innocuous designation of the Middle Eastern area, that is generally thought of as the Holy Land. During the last few decades, however, the term Palestine has been adopted by Arabs living in Israel in the area west of the Jordan River. It is specifically employed to avoid the use of the name Israel, and must be considered an anti-Israel term. In all Arab maps published in Jordan, Egypt, etc., the area west of the Jordan River is called Palestine, without any reference to Israel.Palestine is the term now used by those who want to deny the legitimate existence of Israel as a genuine nation among the family of nations.

The term now adopted by the political entity within Israel that is gradually obtaining more and more pockets of territory through the “peace process,” is “the PA (Palestinian Authority). Although it must deal daily with Israeli officials, the PA hates to use the term Israel in any of its communications.

Palestine, therefore, must now be considered a political propaganda term with massive anti-Israel implications. The world press uses the term to question the legitimacy of modern Israel. Christians also have used the term Palestine for centuries in referring to the Holy Land. In earlier times this might have been excused (although biblically questionable) because of its common usage. In light of the current propaganda war against Israel, however, Christians must now re-evaluate the term Palestine and consider whether it is biblically, theologically or prophetically accurate.

Answer 2

I'm a Chrsitian and I can tell you that the Israeli nation today has nothing to do with the Israelites of the Old Testament. At Christ's death, the new covenant was put in force as stated in Hebrews about ch8-9. The Israelites were God's chosen and the Sabbath was a covenant between the Israelites and God, NOT Israel or modern Jews.

Gal 3:23-25 tells what the purpose of that time in history was.

Fulfilled prophecy:
The mission of Josiah was foretold more than three centuries before his birth (cf. 1 Kings 13; 2 Kgs. 23). The role of the Persian king, Cyrus, in releasing the Hebrews from Babylonian captivity, was described more than a century and a half before his reign (cf. Isaiah 44:28; 45:1ff).

There are hundreds more so here's a link:

I have blogged on my yahoo360 page about the false prophecy dealing with Israel and the view that much of Bible prophecy is being fulfilled now. In reality, most of Biblical prophecy has been fulfilled except those dealing with Christ's return.

Answer 3

Greatest prophecy full filled was Jesus Christ.
Almost the entire books of Ezekiel and Isaiah. Not to mention many of the psalms. also many of the other prophet spoke of the Messiah. They were all fulfilled in Matthew, Mark, Luke, John and the book of Acts.
I do not know the exact scriptures, but Israel was prophesied to become a nation again after many years. I think some of it is in Daniel. Again, not to sure but I will research and try to answer you if possible.
Also I would be curious as to what you consider the other examples of Christian dishonesty.

Answer 4

No, and I think that would be all up to interpretation.

Here's the thing too, depending on which version of teh bible you have, certain books are included or excluded.

For example, the Book of Wisdom is a book that is in the Roman Catholic Bible, but left out in all the others.

I know that may not answer your question, but I just wanted to give you a heads up on other possible answers.

Answer 5

I do not know chapter or verse, but Jesus did read that the Messiah, would ride into Jerusalem on a donkey, on a certain festive day. Jesus read about this prophecy, and took it upon himself to act upon it, thus makeing himself the Messiah! This is one of the main reasons why the Jewish population got so P. O. at him! So there you have it a fulfilled prohecy!!!

Answer 6

I like how a lot of the fullfilled prophecy is something that is very likely to happen, kinda like "the sun will rise and all of mankind will know that it is day". Even better are the 'prophecies' of life immitating art. By this I mean real life creations that were inspired by mythological writings, such as bible stories.

Answer 7

evaluate Revelation a million with Daniel 10 and that i'm questioning that those "prophecies" certainly got here from the darkish section. motives why the prophet Daniel, Jesus and the apostle John have been effectual of their service to God replaced into because of the fact they did no longer draw on the powers of the darkish section, thereby easing their load and making pals with them too. The demons have been happy to prance around pretending to be virginal interior the e book of Revelation because of the fact they have been handling somebody who replaced into thoroughly comfortable along with his very own existence course and wasn't seeking to study from them. i think of that's how Jesus controlled to levitate back as much as the clouds. Even the darkish section can realize how plenty lighter love makes the burden.

Answer 8

It is not Christian dishonesty, just certain Christians believe 1948 to be a pivotal year in prophecy. I don't hold to that belief.

Read Isiah 53. Jesus fulfilled all those prophecies.

Answer 9

2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
Matt 24:2 (KJV) About (30 AD)

Destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem (70 AD)

Answer 10

Can you tell me exactly how heavy the rock that Sisyphus had to continue to roll up the hill was?

I think that is a more interesting myth.

Or maybe, something about Prometheus...
