Is it logically possible that the Bible is not true with all the fulfilled prophesies? [Spirituality & Religion]

The Bible is God's word and there are so many prophesies that have been fulfilled.

A Statistical Improbability

Some Bible scholars suggest there are more than 300 prophetic Scriptures completed in the life of Jesus. Circumstances such as his birthplace, lineage, and method of execution were beyond his control and could not have been accidentally or deliberately fulfilled.

In the book Science Speaks, Peter Stoner and Robert Newman discuss the statistical improbability of one man, whether accidentally or deliberately, fulfilling just eight of the prophecies Jesus fulfilled. The chance of this happening, they say, is 1 in 1017 power. Stoner gives an illustration that helps visualize the magnitude of such odds:

Suppose that we take 1017 silver dollars and lay them on the face of Texas. They will cover all of the state two feet deep. Now mark one of these silver dollars and stir the whole mass thoroughly, all over the state. Blindfold a man and tell him that he can travel as far as he wishes, but he must pick up one silver dollar and say that this is the right one. What chance would he have of getting the right one? Just the same chance that the prophets would have had of writing these eight prophecies and having them all come true in any one man, from their day to the present time, providing they wrote using their own wisdom.

The mathematical improbability of 300, or 44, or even just eight fulfilled prophesies of Jesus stands as evidence to his messiahship.

Prophecies of Jesus

Although this list is not exhaustive, you'll find 44 messianic predictions clearly fulfilled in Jesus Christ, along with supporting references from the Old Testament and New Testament fulfillment.

I think it's more like it's misunderstood. Some even believe it was created to keep man from killing each other?!😯 Many things have been kept from us and the bible is being questioned like never before. Like in the picture of "The Last Supper." The 12 Disciples...some believe one is a woman named Mary Magdalene.

@Peaches 👫 That's because some people are more crazy then others.

Peaches · F

@Kwek00 I don't think so.😎

Kwek00 · 41-45, M

@Peaches 👫 No worries, maybe some day.

Peaches · F

@Kwek00 That day is [i][b]here.[/b][/i]

Carazaa · F

@Peaches We really shouldn't listen to others when we decide about a book but read it carefully ourselves. Please read it all slowly and then lets talk.

Peaches · F

@Carazaa I have read it. I grew up on "the bible belt" of NC. If you disagree with some there they'll just turn their back on ya, but I'm okay with that.📖👀

Carazaa · F

@Peaches How you can say such an outrageous comment is beyond me if you read the entire Bible. Nope, sorry I don't believe you! The Bible belt listen to CBN which is witchcraft in disguise of "Christianity" and many "preachers got their philosophy from seminaries that read books [i]about[/i] the Bible. Jesus said "many will say to me I preached in your name and I will say to them I never knew you."

[quote]How you can say such an outrageous comment is beyond me if you read the entire Bible. Nope, sorry I don't believe you! [/quote]

For someone that literally told me not to contact her annymore because of a diffrent of opinion on "religion". This is a pretty hypocrtical statement to say the least. 🤔

And I've not contacted you on annything, but I'm not going to let this one pass. How delusional can someone get?

Peaches · F

@Carazaa What are you talking about?! I don't follow structured religion anymore but do believe there is something in the universe that cares about us.✨💗😌

Carazaa · F

@Kwek00 I asked you respectfully to not contact me again after you were verbally abusive and mocking, and sarcastic! I blocked you for a month and then I unblocked you because I care about you. My comment was not intended for you!

Kwek00 · 41-45, M

@Carazaa I stalked you? Damn woman... I don't know how you create your perception on reality, but there is some serious "rationalising" in that entire idea.

But I'm just going back to respect your wishes now, till I see something else that makes me go: "wtf".

Carazaa · F

@Peaches I am referring to your statement that [i]some people [/i]believe the Bible is created to make people not fight. [i]Some people [/i]believe Mary Magdalene is partaking in the last supper. Who cares what "some people" say. I only serve God and care what He says. I could care less what "some people" say. The Bible is Gods own words. Why are you listening to [i]some people?[/i]

Carazaa · F

@Kwek00 I asked you repeatedly to leave me alone regarding your mocking my faith and you kept on writing me. Don't do that when a woman says please stop!

Carazaa · F

@Kwek00 And its not that I don't care about you, because I do. And I have enjoyed our friendship very much. But then I couldn't believe how you mocked Christians, and were sarcastic to me. It was hurtful. I asked you to stop and you didn't.

Kwek00 · 41-45, M

@Carazaa If that is trully what you believe what happened, if that trully is your idea about it all. Then you are absolutely insane. When someone asks me not to write them annymore, I just don't write them annymore. But on a public forum, (and I wasn't even talking to you personally, you can look it up, the messages are still there) I can still say what I think needs to be said. And you can still correct me on what I said. But I wasn't talking to you in that instance, but you took it personally because you identify as being christian and religious. So when I talk about the religion, you take it personally because you identify with that group. And then you react as if I was talking to you and you blocked me for a while and then came back again.

But saying that I "stalked" you and saying stuff that I wasn't leaving you alone, is just you making up a story where your position is set on the high ground. And then you can talk about how unethical I was by keep talking to you while I was actually not talking to you at all.

And somethinge else, when you tell people to stop talking to you and they are not talking to you. Then don't send them messages and bait for a responds. I only respond now because of what you are saying is just wrong. Not only does it hurt the real story of what happened it also attacks my integrity and makes you look better then you really are.

Seriously. When it comes to this particulair point. Fuck you Carazaa, fuck you! 🖕

Peaches · F

@Carazaa Why are you believing what was written in a book by "people" that may have had other agendas? Do you realize how women are all but left out of the bible? There are other writings that have been omitted and hidden from us. Sorry if that offends you.

Carazaa · F

@Kwek00 Please calm down! See here you go again...Now you are verbally abusive again. I just said that your mocking me and my faith was upsetting and you kept on writing me here not PM but publically and I asked you to stop mocking Christians. We had been friends on PM. You had been very nice. So when you started putting my faith down and you were sarcastic to me a few weeks ago I was hurt and you wouldn't let up you mocked my faith over and over. That was so hurtful that I asked you to please stop writing me or I would block you so I did. I am not accusing you of anything but mocking and being sarcastic, and not letting up. That was too hurtful because we had been friends and I couldn't believe how sarcastic you were to me all of a sudden. But I do care and I am praying for you. But please when you get mad just say I am mad. Please don't mock me. It is hurtful.

Kwek00 · 41-45, M

@Carazaa

There it is! It's about the faith and the religion. It's about your feelings.
Your feelings don't make me into a "stalker". Seriously, fuck you! 🖕

If that idea makes you feel bad, then I hope it's not because I'm "verbally abusive". I hope it's because of cogntive dissonance. You asked me to stop talking, so I said "bye" and stopped talking. It's as simple as that. If you think that I mocked your religion (and chances are really high that I did, I'm not even going to deny it) then It wasn't with an "@ carazaa" sign in front of my message. I'm going to say even more, every time you made a comment that I disagreed with, I didn't answer to anny of them. Because you asked me to not respond, so I did. But I'm not going to be called a stalker because you can't handle your feelings about religion and faith and God. I'm not going to be called a stalker because you engage on public fora and I said things you didn't like. And if you are going to call me a stalker because of that. Well, fuck you 🖕.

Get a fucking grip. It's not because you have issues with stuff that people that talk about these issues are stalking you. That's just another way to tell people to shut up. On a "public forum". Seriously? You appologies or you fuck off.

@Peaches God saved me as a child, and he lives in me. I live for Jesus. He helps me, and answers all my prayers. Please read my post on miracles. I wouldn't trade Jesus for 10 billion dollars. I will copy the link in a second to you.

Carazaa · F

@Peaches Here is the link on some of my answered prayers. Gods promises are true, I know it. I live by it!

@Kwek00 I took the word "Stalking" off if it is so upsetting to you. But this swearing and cursing is not very mature. But I understand you are upset. I was upset too but you didn't really care about that it seemed.

Kwek00 · 41-45, M

@Carazaa
[quote]I was upset too but you didn't really care about that it seemed.[/quote]

I only care about upsetting people, if it's something that I'm personally responsible for. I'm not going to care about me uttering information that can be factually true. Facts are not something I'm responsible for. I'm also not going to be responsible for people taking "personal offends" for something that I said that wasn't adressed to them personally. That's something that is outside of me. If I have to care about everyone that take "personal" offends for something that I talk about in a "general" way, then it would be better to stop communicating to people at all.

And I do feel offended, because you adressed my behavior as "stalking". That is a personal thing to do. And yes, that upsets me, because the term: "stalking" does in no way agree with what really happened. It's just something that is made up to give a pejorative twist on what you perceive to be my behavior.

Appologies accepted.
And I'm just going to go back in respecting your wishes now, I'm not going to respond to you unless you say something so blatantly false that it blows my mind.

Carazaa · F

@Kwek00You think it is ok to curse me when you are upset?

Kwek00 · 41-45, M

@Carazaa [quote]You think it is ok to curse me when you are upset?
[/quote]

You think it's okay to invoke the term "stalking" when it doesnt fit the SITUATION?

[b]EDIT: [/b]Narrative to SITUATION (cause else it just don't make sense)

Carazaa · F

@Kwek00 You really don't take any responsibility for hurting people. You blame and wont apologize! I felt very harassed by you a few weeks ago, and I blocked you because you wouldn't stop writing, and you think it is ok to curse when you get upset and you don't apologize? You are abusive. That is why I blocked you the first time. For your information It is NEVER OK to curse people!
