Sociologically speaking, propaganda seems to be against Christians and for everyone/everything else. Even you are fulfilling God's Word by persecuting Christians with your words. I don't believe one Christian on this thread asked you to attack to fulfill the scriptures of persecution.

Also, throughout history mankind has performed heinous acts in the name of God. They were wrong. Even the Roman Catholic Church as made amends to much of its own history. Truly, what if God is misunderstood? We shouldn't judge God by man's deeds but by the Word of God. Man makes all kinds of mistakes, some intentional, some unintentional.

I mean, what are the odds? Find out above. UNDENIABLE!!!

Fulfilled Prophecy: Evidence for the Reliability of the Bible
August 22, 2003
By Dr. Hugh Ross

Unique among all books ever written, the Bible accurately foretells specific events-in detail-many years, sometimes centuries, before they occur. Approximately 2500 prophecies appear in the pages of the Bible, about 2000 of which already have been fulfilled to the letter—no errors.

(The remaining 500 or so reach into the future and may be seen unfolding as days go by.) Since the probability for any one of these prophecies having been fulfilled by chance averages less than one in ten (figured very conservatively) and since the prophecies are for the most part independent of one another, the odds for all these prophecies having been fulfilled by chance without error is less than one in 102000 (that is 1 with 2000 zeros written after it)!

God is not the only one, however, who uses forecasts of future events to get people's attention. Satan does, too. Through clairvoyants (such as Jeanne Dixon and Edgar Cayce), mediums, spiritists, and others, come remarkable predictions, though rarely with more than about 60 percent accuracy, never with total accuracy. Messages from Satan, furthermore, fail to match the detail of Bible prophecies, nor do they include a call to repentance.

The acid test for identifying a prophet of God is recorded by Moses in Deuteronomy 18:21-22. According to this Bible passage (and others), God's prophets, as distinct from Satan's spokesmen, are 100 percent accurate in their predictions. There is no room for error.

As economy does not permit an explanation of all the Biblical prophecies that have been fulfilled, what follows in a discussion of a few that exemplify the high degree of specificity, the range of projection, and/or the "supernature" of the predicted events. Readers are encouraged to select others, as well, and to carefully examine their historicity.

(1) Some time before 500 B.C. the prophet Daniel proclaimed that Israel's long-awaited Messiah would begin his public ministry 483 years after the issuing of a decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem (Daniel 9:25-26). He further predicted that the Messiah would be "cut off," killed, and that this event would take place prior to a second destruction of Jerusalem. Abundant documentation shows that these prophecies were perfectly fulfilled in the life (and crucifixion) of Jesus Christ. The decree regarding the restoration of Jerusalem was issued by Persia's King Artaxerxes to the Hebrew priest Ezra in 458 B.C., 483 years later the ministry of Jesus Christ began in Galilee. (Remember that due to calendar changes, the date for the start of Christ's ministry is set by most historians at about 26 A.D. Also note that from 1 B.C. to 1 A.D. is just one year.) Jesus' crucifixion occurred only a few years later, and about four decades later, in 70 A.D. came the destruction of Jerusalem by Titus.

(Probability of chance fulfillment = 1 in 105.)*

(2) In approximately 700 B.C. the prophet Micah named the tiny village of Bethlehem as the birthplace of Israel's Messiah (Micah 5:2). The fulfillment of this prophecy in the birth of Christ is one of the most widely known and widely celebrated facts in history.

(Probability of chance fulfillment = 1 in 105.)

(3) In the fifth century B.C. a prophet named Zechariah declared that the Messiah would be betrayed for the price of a slave—thirty pieces of silver, according to Jewish law-and also that this money would be used to buy a burial ground for Jerusalem's poor foreigners (Zechariah 11:12-13). Bible writers and secular historians both record thirty pieces of silver as the sum paid to Judas Iscariot for betraying Jesus, and they indicate that the money went to purchase a "potter's field," used—just as predicted—for the burial of poor aliens (Matthew 27:3-10).

(Probability of chance fulfillment = 1 in 1011.)

(4) Some 400 years before crucifixion was invented, both Israel's King David and the prophet Zechariah described the Messiah's death in words that perfectly depict that mode of execution. Further, they said that the body would be pierced and that none of the bones would be broken, contrary to customary procedure in cases of crucifixion (Psalm 22 and 34:20; Zechariah 12:10). Again, historians and New Testament writers confirm the fulfillment: Jesus of Nazareth died on a Roman cross, and his extraordinarily quick death eliminated the need for the usual breaking of bones. A spear was thrust into his side to verify that he was, indeed, dead.

Archaeology in the land of Israel is a compelling topic! You'll find answers to Bethlehem there. Not, to mention, the Palestinians have tried to destroy many, many sites in the land.

Yes, you are correct. King Herod died in the B.C. period. If you'll do a bit of research on the birth of Jesus and the creation of the calendar, you'll find that Jesus was born B.C. also!

WHY IS THIS SHIT PINNED AGAIN.


STOP LEADING PEOPLE INTO SLAVERY.

They wont touch this thread because they know it comes with a catch.

The minute they reply you will be into them with your usual arrogance and pride, and haughty self rightoue smugness, and begin to tell them how this amazing scientific God is also going to torture them forever if they dont give in to your haughty smug threats of hate and revenge on all who are not as holy and smug self obsessed and utterly up themselves as you are.

Hate filled reply of doom and death and destruction in..

Other than than the Bible, where is the corroborating evidence ie: (archaeological, and other historical records that establish these prophecies are fulfilled:

1. Jesus Christ was born
2. Jesus Christ was born in Bethlehem
3. Jesus Christ was was betrayed for 30 pieces of silver
4. Jesus Christ was crucified on a cross.

I will leave it at that. Please site all archaeological and historical data that supports these facts other that the Bible.
