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.

The Word of God is the truth which people will discover one day, whether here and now or on that day when every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.

You can rolls if you want, Harriet, but that's exactly what you'll be doing on that day, like it or not. For your own sake, I hope you'll be doing it as a daughter and not someone God has to judge.

@Harriet03 [quote]If he existed, I'd tear him a new one!![/quote]

He does live and He is God, not you. What you can't get through your head, Harriet, is that Yahweh lives and Jesus Christ is Lord. On that day, you will be faced with that actual truth and, on your own accord, you will bow your knees and you will confess with your tongue, that Jesus Christ is Lord. All of us, every single one of us, if you will, will be doing that very same act on that day. Okay?

@GodSpeed63 Says who?? 🍿🍷

@Harriet03

God said it Himself

Isaiah 45:23
By Myself I have sworn; truth has gone out from My mouth, a word that will not be revoked: [b]Every knee will bow before Me, every tongue will confess allegiance.
[/b]
Romans 14:11
It is written: [b]"As surely as I live, says the Lord, every knee will bow before Me; every tongue will confess to God."

[/b]Ephesians 1:10
as a plan for the fullness of time, to bring all things in heaven and on earth together in Christ.

Revelation 5:13
[b]And I heard every creature in heaven, and on earth, and under the earth, and in the sea, and all that is in them, saying: "To Him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb, be praise and honor and glory and power forever and ever!"

@Harriet03 It's just wishful thinking and hubris on their part. The yahweh thing is just made up to try to explain the unknown. It's completely superfluous to requirements.

@Sharon [quote] It's just wishful thinking[/quote]

Really? On what basis are you making that conclusion?
Sharon · F
@GodSpeed63 There's no evidence to support what you believe, you just hope it's true because you can't face the reality of life and death.
GodSpeed63 · 61-69, M
@Sharon [quote]There's no evidence to support what you believe[/quote]

How do you know there's no evidence?
Sharon · F
@GodSpeed63 If there were, somebody would have present it by now. The fact is, despite being asked countless times, you've [b]never[/b] been able to present anything to support your claims.
GodSpeed63 · 61-69, M
@Sharon [quote]If there were, somebody would have present it by now.[/quote]

Somebody did but since you don't believe that He's around without verifiable evidence to support your belief, then you need to come up with something substantial to explain how everything in the universe and the earth came in to being.

Who presented the evidence? You're not making any sense, you've just admitted there is none to support that belief.

[quote]then you need to come up with something substantial to explain how everything in the universe and the earth came in to being.[/quote]
Some would say The Flying Spaghetti Monster did it, there's no evidence to say Quob didn't.

It is possible the universe has always existed, although not necessarily in this form. Hypothesizing as "creator" just leaves the question of where that came from, it doesn't answer the question. As a scientist I go by evidence and we don't have enough to form a solid Theory as to the origin of the universe. So, for now, I simply have to say I don't know but I have no need to invent a fiction to fill that gap in my knowledge.

I already told you. Why do you need to hear it again? Do you also want to be one His daughters?

Where? Do you mean your mythical sky-daddy? ROFL!

[quote]Do you also want to be one his daughters?[/quote]

Whose daughters? I'm the daughter of my parents and that's "the actual Truth".

@Sharon [quote]Where? Do you mean your mythical sky-daddy?[/quote]

I don't have a mythical sky daddy, but you do.

[quote] I'm the daughter of my parents and that's "the actual Truth".[/quote]

I'm also the son of my folks, what of it? I'm also the adoptive son of the living God, Yahweh.

Wrong again. Your mythical sky-daddy is that thing you call yahweh - have you forgotten already. I don't follow mythical beings, I stick to reality. You should try it sometime.

In nearly everything you write. Come on, surely you're not that dense. :(

As usual, that's only your opinion and not actual truth. Surely you can do better than that?
