Which ones?

Which prophecy has never been fulfilled? No prophecy has ever been fulfilled.

Christ said ""Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled."

That was a very definitive prophecy, basically stating that all prophecy would be fulfilled before the last member of that generation died. Obviously everyone of that generation died 2000 years ago and none of the prophecies were fulfilled. Clearly that falsifies all of the prophecies in the Bible.

Explain away, Christ’s virgin birth, being born in Bethlehem, being called out of Egypt (where Joseph fled with him as a baby), being sold for 30 pieces of silver, being killed with robbers, having lots cast for his clothes, Jesus was pierced and none of his bones broken when crucified.

All those things are specifically listed in the Gospels by the writers of the Gospels as being fulfilled Scripture, and you claim they’re not.

Go ahead, show that none of that happened. Tell us why you think you’re right and the rest of the world is wrong.

Yes, it is a very specific prophecy, one about the end times where.

Luke 21:20-28

20"But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation has come near. 21Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, and let those who are inside the city depart, and let not those who are out in the country enter it, 22for these are days of vengeance, to fulfill all that is written. 23 Alas for women who are pregnant and for those who are nursing infants in those days! For there will be great distress upon the earth and wrath against this people. 24They will fall by the edge of the sword and be led captive among all nations, and Jerusalem will be trampled underfoot by the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled. The Coming of the Son of Man

25"And there will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth distress of nations in perplexity because of the roaring of the sea and the waves, 26people fainting with fear and with foreboding of what is coming on the world. For the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 27And then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28Now when these things begin to take place, straighten up and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near."

The prophecy hasn't been fulfilled yet. The generation that will see those things may or may no exist yet. You can't use as yet unfulfilled prophecy to demonstrate that is false because it hasn't been fulfilled yet.

That's intellectually dishonest.
