Respect55: I know no God, only leaders. I give them my total loyalty and get financial and spiritual reward with which I build my family's heritage. One day, my family too would produce a son of God, and as he describes his father so shall our subjects believe. |

Respect55: How do you know that He was "created?" So far as I know, no one has the Knowledge to answer that. TIME MOVES IN NINE DIRECTIONS: we are familiar with TWO of them: PAST TO PRESENT, and PRESENT TO FUTURE. Just because they apply to us, why do you ASSUME that they apply to GOD? |

SHALOM! Respect55: STOP PRETENDING TO BE AN ILLITERATE! Write correct English, and show a good example to the Youth! I assume nothing. If God had a Creator, and it was our business to know, He would have told us. . DEUTERONOMY 29:29. 29. The Secret (Things belong) unto The LORD our God: but those things (which are) revealed (belong) unto us and to our Children for ever, that we may do all The Words of this Law. What would you do with the Knowledge of the Identity of God's Creator? Go worship HIM, instead of GOD? |

oaroloye:Stop pretending to be literate. Even Socrates, once regarded as the wisest man of his time claimed that he knew nutin and craved to know by adopting the act of midwifery. As such, it was counted unto him, wisdom. Asking is nut and has never bn an act of stupidity but pretending that u know even wen u dnt. I dnt even know why u find it hard to understand the original intent of this thread. |

LiberaDeus:OK sir. Sorry I took too long. How's work? I had a little work too myself and mine had a deadline so I had to finish it up. So let's begin from the very first. But before then, note that not all prophesies have BEEN fulfilled. As long as we are still on earth and the world hasn't ended, we can't just tick them off as unfulfilled. But a large number has been fulfilled already. So let's go. 1. Making Abraham's children like the starts in the sky. I personally think this should not be taken literally. God says Abraham's Children (Abraham apparently had only Isaac and Ismael) will be like the starts in the sky. No one tool the "children" part literally, why are we taking the stars in the sky literally? God only meant Abraham would not be able to count his children (descendants) being in Christ, means we are all descendants of Abraham. 2. About the word virgin birth. I explained this before. Almah is not the proper word but can be used also. And it seems the Jewish scholars who translated the Bible to Greek knew what God was talking about. When they translated the old testament to Greek, they used the Greek word for virgin and young woman. This was 200 years before the birth of Jesus. 3. About Damascus being destroyed. Of course this is yet to happen. But I need you to observe recent events in Syria closely. 4. About the Nile drying up. I personally believe this is yet to be fulfilled because the the prophesy talked about a wicked king and the also the Nile DRYING up. But some people talk about the construction of the Aswan Dam and the heavy effect it had on the Nile as fulfillment. But I am personally not buying it. 5. Egypt speaking the Canaanite language. To be fair I don't know much about this. But I promise to do a little research on it later. But is the Canaanite language really extinct? It might have gone through reformation but extinct? I doubt sir. But please educate me if I am wrong. 6. The uncircumcised and unclean being in Jerusalem. I think this talks about the last day when Jerusalem becomes God's own city and Jesus governs the world from it. 7. Egypt being unhabitable. Again, this hasn't been fulfilled. We all have to be patient. 8. Jews being pulled out of their land. Erm, how many times have they been "pulled" out of their land? They have been dominated but pulled out? Of course the fact that that their land is still being fought over till date, isn't that a fulfilment of another prophesy? 9. Nineveh being overthrown. There is a difference between God changing his mind and forgiven a sinful people. If God doesn't forgive then He can't be referred to as Merciful, can He? 10. Matthew wrongfully giving Jeremiah credit for Zachariah's prophesy. This is new to me. But let us look at this critically. Who says Matthew's words was actually referring to Zachariah? Yes they are similar but are they particularly the same? Nope. If we look at Jesus quotation of old testament scriptures, you will notice two things. (1) They were quoted word for word. Just as it was written in the old testament. I mean the exact words were used by Jesus. (2). He always said "it was written". Looking at Matthew, it has already failed both tests. It wasn't quoted word for word and he said, Jeremiah " spoke". Not wrote. Why are these important? Well, Matthew didn't exactly quote Zachariah word for word so it can be argued that he wasn't reffering to that exact verse by Zachariah. Secondly, you won't find that prophesy in Jeremiah because he "spoke" and didn't write. But that's my theory though. I will do a little more search and get back to you. 11. Jesus never being referred to as Emmanuel. Emmanuel means "God with us". Jesus was literally God with us. See? And yes Thomas called Him " God". 12. Jesus called a Nazarene. Again notice the word "spoke"? You do realize that there are lots of quotes spoken by prophets that weren't written down? Because they were meant to be memorized. 13. Jesus speaking a law not in the old testament? I think you should read Numbers 28:9. And before you say they aren't word for word, Jesus wasn't exactly " quoting". 14. Jesus' signs. In Matthew 24:4–31, Jesus is clearly giving a prophecy. He is speaking of future events. Jesus had already told those living during His earthly ministry that the kingdom had been taken from them (Matthew 21:43). Therefore, it is imperative that Matthew 24–25 be seen as dealing with a future time. The generation that Jesus speaks of “not passing” until He returns is a future generation, namely, the people living when the predicted events occur. The word generation refers to the people alive in the future when the events of Matthew 24–25 take place. 15. About the high priest seeing the second coming. The high priest will still see the second coming. Because during the second coming, the dead will rise. 16. Again, they will all be witnesses because the dead will rise. Again, I showed you the verse from paul about slaves and free people. When Jesus says, love your God and love your neighbor as your self, I think that included slaves as well, ya? And if you are to love slaves, then obviously, they shouldn't be slaves. Another thing you should know is that in Jesus time, the Jews were almost like slaves to the romans. So they themselves didn't have slaves. What they had were people who came to sell their labour for money which was perfectly normal. Now let me ask you. How about the prophesies that have been fulfilled? Are we just going to tick them off as coincidence? |
