Well, first, by definition a prophet of God is always 100% right about all prophesies from God - or else they are a false prophet!

Why do so many who claim to be knowledgeable spout this nonsense?!

God told Jonah to declare that Nineveh would fall in 40 days. It didn't happen. So there goes your "golden rule".

Isaiah told Hezekiah that he would die shortly. It didn't happen. So there again goes your "golden rule".

But according to you, one of the greatest prophets (Isaiah) is a false one. I'll leave it to others to explain why he's not.

God told Jonah to declare that Nineveh would fall in 40 days. It didn't happen. So there goes your "golden rule".

However, God later clearly stated and revealed to Jonah exactly what He had done and why. Robertson states he doesn't know why God did not act in the manner He said He would.

Isaiah told Hezekiah that he would die shortly. It didn't happen. So there again goes your "golden rule".

However, in Isaiah chapter 38 God again clearly tells Isaiah that He has changed is mind as a result of Hezekiah's prayers and added 15 years to his life.

But according to you, one of the greatest prophets (Isaiah) is a false one. I'll leave it to others to explain why he's not.

I stand by the standard clearly articulated in the Bible.

“God told Jonah to declare that Nineveh would fall in 40 days. It didn’t happen. So there goes your “golden rule”.”

Go read it again. I do believe he said that Nineveh would fall if they did NOT turn from their evil ways. They did and were spared from God’s wrath which is why Jonah then went on a pity party. Please if you are going to quote scripture, please get it right. Thank you.

I will read up on the Isaiah one and get back to you as I am not fully familiar with that prophecy.

Hezekiah is, IMO, a perfect example that God does in fact change his mind. I’ll leave it to others as to how they reconcile Hezekiah with predestination. All I know is that He will in some cases.

That said, Pat Robertson is a nutcase for reasons other than just his bad predictions.
