You are absolutely correct Diamond. I can't prove that there are no accurate fulfilled prophecies.

Why don't you point out a clear, accurate, fulfilled prophecy? All it takes is one and you can prove me wrong : )

But we both know you can't, isn't that interesting? Why should it be so hard to find a single, accurate, verifiable prophecy amongst thousands and thousands written by God himself?

Could it be that the Bible isn't the word of GOD?

Of course as an ex-mormon atheist, I’m sure you will argue against every one of them.

Only those with ears, hear.

7. Zechariah 9:9: This was a prophecy spoken through the prophet Zechariah who lived about 500 years before the coming of Christ. It speaks of Christ’s entry into Jerusalem five days prior to His death on the cross as fulfilled in John 12:13-14: “Rejoice greatly, O Daughter of Zion! Shout, Daughter of Jerusalem! See, you king comes to you, righteous and having salvation, gentle and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.”

8. Psalm 69:21: King David wrote the following words which were fulfilled when Christ was on the cross (John 19:29): “They put gall in My food and gave Me vinegar for My thirst.”

9. Psalm 22:18: On the cross we also see the following words fulfilled, “They divide My garments among them and cast lots for my clothing.” We read about this fulfillment in Mark 15:24 .

10. Psalm 34:20: “He protects all His bones, not one of them will be broken.” Fulfilled in John 19:33 when Christ was on the cross. .
11. Isaiah 53:9: “He was assigned a grave with the wicked and with the rich in His death, though He had done no violence, nor was any deceit in His mouth.” We see these words fulfilled in Matthew 27:57-60 at the time of Christ’s burial.

12. Psalm 16:10: “Because You will not abandon Me to the grave, nor will you let your Holy One see decay.” These words are fulfilled in Matthew 28 at the time of Christ’s resurrection from the dead. His body did not see decay!

13. Psalm 68:18: “When You ascended on high, You led captives in Your train, You received gifts from men, even from the rebellious – that You, O LORD God, might dwell there.” These words are fulfilled when Christ ascended bodily into heaven. Read Luke 24:50-51 and Ephesians 4:7-9.

What sense would it make to provide evidence to an evidentialist who makes claims but who feels no burden to provide evidence to back up his own claims? You have already showed a reckless disregard for truth by making a fantastic claim, implicit in which is the presumption that you literally know-it-all, and now here you explicitly deny the same. As these unresovable contradictions are internal to your claim, I see nothing yet that meets a threshold of obligation to provide an evidentiary response.

Cordially,

No. It's just a lot more likely that you're wrong than the Bible.

The Bible is full of fulfilled prophecies. Just because you don't want to believe them, doesn't make them untrue.

You're fooling no one. The only one who thinks you're clever is you.
