Thread: What is the Atheist's response to prophecy?

There seems to be no logical argument for this. The Bible predicted that Israel would be restored as a nation and sure enough, it did. Not only was it restored as the Bible said it would, but it was also restored in one day as the Bible also said it would. That would be like me saying "as soon as you are done reading this post your entire home will lose power" and then every light in your home went out. Isn't the restoration of Israel enough to at least make you start considering things?

It's all crap like "there will be wars and rumors of wars and earthquakes".

No sh!t, sherlock.

And is it any wonder that the people who got kicked out of their homeland had a fond wish to return there and eventually did?

And I don't recall reading "British Mandate" and dates in the Bible.

No--what bible prophecy is more like is prediciting "sometime in the next 100 years your home will lose power"--with those kind of predicitions it's a gimme that they are fulfilled.

There were over 300 prophecies in the O.T. alone proving that Jesus would be the coming Messiah. Jesus fulfilled every one of them. This would be impossible for anyone else. These prophecies came about long before Jesus was even born.
They relate things about the crucifixion which wasn't even the way of being executed in those days, and they relate specific details about Christ, where he would come from, and many other things as well.

Yet atheists still don't believe.

they deny THE BIBLE EVEN THOUGH IT IS coming true in front of our eyes!!!!!!

They are extremely vague predictions that were almost 100% certain to come true. If they were any more specific I doubt they would be fulfilled.

Atheists do not have to since psychiatry explains the problem very well!

Enjoy your fantasy but realize that the men in white coats are just round the corner!

It's complete bullshit. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day. You are of course free to enjoy your delusions but that's all they are.

I generally laugh and point at "prophecy" - then, I make a few of my own to prove how easy it is.

My neighbor predicted we would go to war with two powers in the Middle East and South Asia last decade, and we did. He also predicted the decline of Microsoft, and it did.

He also thinks he's Napoleon Bonaparte and wears one of those cool Napoleon hats around.
