Why are the so-called bible predictions made after the fact?

Question

Tzadiq- I just make assumptions, and you shouldnt judge since your whole religion is based on assumptions.

Answer 1

Uh....because they're phoney baloney?

Answer 2

Which are you talking about? There are hundreds of Bible prophecies that were in writing, and for which we still copies today, long before the events happened. Give us an example of the ones you mean?

If you want an example of ones in existence before the fulfillment, you need look no further then the 22 Psalm. We have copies of that Psalm amoung the Dead Sea Scrolls which predate the time of Jesus by about 150 years. Yet it contains over 2 dozen events that would be fulfilled on the day of his crucifixion.

Including the darkening on the sun during in his crucifixion, an event that secular historians record as having happened, and debate the cause in letters written less then 20 years after the event.

Answer 3

The prophesies given in the Bible hadn't happened at the time it was written .A few are coming true lately and events in the world are lining up in such a way that's it's now possible for more to come true soon . Especially as far as countries forming pacts with other countries . Who would have guessed when I was young that countries like Israel and Iraq would be on the news every day . It was foretold in the Bible .

Answer 4

The next big earth shaking prophecy of the Bible to be full filled will be the rapture of the saved.

Right before this there will most likely be the out pouring of the Holy Ghost that will be even greater than on the day of Pentecost (although it could happen right after the rapture - I am not 100% sure).

Answer 5

Well, they do predict the end of the world, which hasn't happened yet. They generally try to steer clear of that kind of thing because, well, they've been wrong about it 100% of the time so far. Not exactly the best advertising for their religion.

Interesting responses - notice that like most people who believe in supernatural predictions, they don't seem to understand the difference between predicting the future and claiming to have predicted something that has already happened. Very telling, isn't it?

Answer 6

That's not true actually. I have seen prophesies unfolding right before us that are hundreds of years old. Read 2 Peter 2.

Jude 1:3-16

Don't take my word for it. I trust you are more than capable of looking them up. The question is: Will you? Have you read the Bible from beginning to end? If not, how do you know when each book was written?

Answer 7

Are you talking about prophecy? The old testament was written before the prophecies were fullfilled. All of the books are put together into one collection called the Bible, but that doesn't mean that they were all written at the same time.

Answer 8

Are you kidding? The old testament is full of prophecies that came to pass in the new testament. The birth of Christ and all the prophecies He fulfilled is the most common.

Answer 9

You mean like Revelation? Have you ever read the bible or do you just make assumptions from your hate christian talking points blog website you visited this morning?

Answer 10

you mean the ones about the end times and Jesus's second coming? Or maybe you mean the ones predicting Jesus's coming the first time, written by the Jews in the Old Testament. Please clarify.

Answer 11

give me an example. you mean like Jesus predicting the romans destroying the temple in 70 a.d.? or maybe the predicition of cyrus destroying bablyon? or maybe even the suffering servant? which one?
