I'm not sure what you mean. Do you mean that it is not clear that Biblical prophecies have come true?

Oh, FK, it would take the a whole new thread and probably years to discuss this. But the short answer to your statement is yes. Some of the so-called prophesies were not prophesies at all, but after-the-fact statements, often made up of several unrelated passages in the Bible. Others have not been fulfilled yet.  Others were "fulfilled" depending on how you interpret and which version of the  Bible you use, etc. I could list, and list and list and take up tremendous band width with examples. If you wish, I will be happy to. It's up to you.

Obviously, men for many hundreds of years have been trying to show that, but they have all failed, haven't they, since Christianity is still going strong? 

What a naïve statement, imo.  Christianity has opposed Islam with "truth" which is so plain and perspicuous in the Bible /sar/, for centuries and failed! Islam is the fastest-growing religion in the world because it fits human psyche more than even the Reformed theology. Failure of one side doe snot make the other side true.  Besides, people base everything they are and their lives even into what they believe. If they admit to being wrong, what's left? So people to varying degrees believe things in spite of evidence to the contrary.

It's OK. I think I can remember some of your prior comments on selected prophecies. But thanks for the offer.

Why do you say failed? The truth has been proved true. It is immaterial (and Biblical) that many will not accept the truth. It is no failure of Christianity that there are so many Muslims. That is part of God's plan. Most will perish, as the Bible says. God does not lead Christianity so that all will be saved.
