The basis of the Christian faith is the revealed word of God, in other words Prophecy. Can you produce a single precise, accurate and verifiable prophecy that has been fulfilled?

Read the Gospels. It tells you there. And that's just to start with.

What my senses show me is truth.

That's just your experience. The perception of your senses is not necessarily an accurate recording of what is really true.

True is what's true regardless of who is perceiving it. Otherwise, there would be billions of different versions of truth based on billions of different people's perceptions of reality, and that can't be.

If it was, however, as you believe, that everyone has their own version of truth, then it's just as valid as anyone else's and then no one has any right or justification, for telling someone else that they are wrong, because everybody's truth is right.

All I asked was for a nice fulfilled prophecy and you can't provide one? Needless to say I am not surprised. Didn't Christ say something to the effect that 'This generation shall not pass away before I return"? Obviously that was a false prediction. Christ was obviously a false 'god'. That is called falsification : )

For some odd reason I think that all of those billions agree that they don't fly off the earth. Truth is surprisingly resilient.

Hmm, Force=MassxAcceleration applies to all of those billions too and every single one of them knows the truth of the principles behind the equation. It is true that some of them don't believe that F=MA applies to them but they generally become Darwin Awards candidates. Do you believe that F=MA?

Interestingly none of the fundamental truths appear in the Bible. I wonder why an omniscient God would neglect to tell his followers the fundamental laws of the universe?
