Athiest...Isn't fulfilled Bible prophecy proof enough that the Bible is God's word?

[bob]

If you bother to read it, Jesus fulfilled all of the predictions of a coming Messiah in the Old Testament. Isn't that proof enough for Athiests?

[AlmightySeemos]

No, it's not.

It's very easy to make "predictions" when the events have all happened beforehand, for I believe THAT is EXACTLY what took place.

ooh, an ancient mistranslated book that somehow got 1 out of its thousand mistakes right!! WHOA!

how logicallll.

[Dem2008]

No he didn't. He allegedly fulfilled some of the prophecies. But he didn't even fulfill them all. It says that the Messiah would be called Immanuel in the Old Testament. Well, that's not the case, for one.

Any time you make thousands of prophecies, some are bound to come true. The Bible is a bunch of confusing contradictions and failed prophecies with the occasional consistency once in a while. Weaving together all the inconsistencies is always confirmation bias related and makes you do a huge mental gymnastics exercise.

Tell you what..BOB...when the Jews, you know, the people whose ancestors WROTE the prophecies, decide that Jesus was the messiah then, and only then, will I climb aboard.

But we both know that won't happen...don't we?

Why do you show such disrespect for God's most favored humans? Jealous because you were not designated as a favored human so you just went out and made yourself into one? LOL...does God approve? Guess you will find out...bet you will also find out how hot hell is too.

have YOU even touched a bible, let alone read one?

have a nice day.

Odd how christians like to dismiss the OT until this comes up.

[CliveJones]

No it isnt because vague assertions are not predictions.

[chaosancx]

Considering Jesus was written by the same people who wrote the predictions... no....

Did you know that the prophecy predicted that Anakin would destroy the Sith and in movie 6 he actually ended up killing the Emperor?
