You must prophesize a Messiah will come, give his lineage, say how he will die, describe the way the messiah will be killed, describe the messiahs teachings, say who your messiah will die with, and give where your messiah will die. If you are able to make these prophecy's hundreds of years in advance and if they come out accurately then and only then will I take you seriously. The truth is Jesus was not the only Messiah recognized by the Jews but if he wasn't the real messiah then by was he the only one that has survived with time?
A Priest does not have to have any type of degree to become a priest. I have known priests that do not know what the didache is.
Let me get into :Heresy: Mode and: (shakes head)
In the Septuagint (G-r-e-e-k) the word is 'flying creature' in the Hebrew it is 'things with wings.' You really need to research shit before you just thorw it out.
Deut. 8:15 says Seraph Serpents. You should really get a better translation. Secondly in Revelations the dragon is symbollical. Please read what you are posting up. Do not just copy and paste.
The Hebrew Bible nowhere states that the earth, plants and daytime were created before the sun. You need to look at A before you can tell me P says this and that.
You really need to brush off on things. Genesis never says this! Think about it: Cain had a wife! There was a city. Who the hell would he make a city for? Where would he magically get a wife? There were already other people. Why do you think he is afraid when God marks him? Who would he be afraid of if there were no others?
God created the universe. Yet you find it hard for me to think this as absurd?
(Shakes head again) No where does it say God. Please get a better translation.
The devil shows him 'all the kingdoms of the world!' Do not take things out of context. The devil is powerful enough to contend with God, do you doubt he is not powerful enough to show Jesus all the kingdoms in the world?
Once again revelations is symbolic! I'm not sure about the actual Hebrew translation but this could be an anachronism as I doubt the Jews ever said that phrase. 4 corners = the whole earth. It is symbolic of the earth, it is representative of the earth.
masuq does not mean pillar. You are again incorrect!
Firstly this verse only implies that when the sun and the moon set a day has passed. Nothing else. Again I ask if God created the earth how is it not possible for him to lengthen a day. This is what is called a miracle.
The word is shaphan! not rabbit/hare/coney/etc. If you see it translated as anything then it is wrong. The word has been translated as 'rock rabbit,' 'rock badger,' etc.
*Sigh* Much like the bird/bat thing this is taken a common misinterpretation. Animals that did not walk or hop on two legs were known as 'four-legged.' it was used to diffirentiate between flying insects and birds. I find it impossible to think that they just named these animals 'four-legged' because they thought they only had 4 legs, how hard is it to kill a cricket and count the legs?
sherets {sheh'-rets}
Which means literally:
1) teeming or swarming things, creepers, swarmers
2) of insects, animals, small reptiles, quadrupeds
as you can see it is a translation error.
Again an error on translation. You can thank the king james bible for that one. But if you want to argue the moon (to the best of my knowledge) has no light. It simple reflects the 'greater' light of the sun, thus 'lesser' light.
The word is sa‘ir. It is related se‘ar (hair). Thus hairy one. it means a goat.
Once again you are wrong. I explained it already with your sun before earth question.
Wow! how original.:dead: Only an ass would pass off these claims against the bible without studying them first. Once again God grants the ass the power of speech. Why do you find that impossible. Hypothetically speaking if there is an omnipotent God this shouldnt be out of his grasp.
God damn these translation errors! Certain poetical passages of the biblical Old Testament refer to a strong and splendid horned animal called re’em. This word was translated “unicorn” or “rhinoceros” in many versions of the Bible, but many modern translations prefer “wild ox” (aurochs), which is the correct meaning of the Hebrew re’em.
-------------------------
I won't even try to correct your other bible passages as you obviously placed more of an emphasis on the english translation than the hebrew or greek.

Jesus! This whole thread proves it. Miggidy already gave you guys prophecy's so did rectal. Search for them. And just because this is true does not mean there would be no other religions. Study a little man. Jesus lived in Judea. How could he spread his word or miracles? Who would believe a man who claimed to be a messiah? who would listen to a new fledgling cult? It would take time and by then people would doubt him.
that's why you got to ask yourself why there are so many religions to begin with, also, how do you know your religion is right? because the bible? other religions have bibles and fulfilled prophecies as well.
and no where in this thread has there been proof, and 2-0 has disproven the accuracy of the so called prophecies that you guys have posted, and you won't respond to the other post i made about bible faults because you know you can't and provide proof....
still waiting

The bat is not a bird (similar to previous)

LEV 11:15 Every raven after his kind;
LEV 11:16 And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind,

Rabbits do not chew their cud
LEV 11:6 And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.
'Gerah', the term which appears in the MT means (chewed) cud, and also perhaps grain, or berry (also a 20th of a sheckel, but I think that we can agree that that is irrelevant here). It does *not* mean dung, and there is a perfectly adequate Hebrew word for that, which could have been used. Furthermore, the phrase translated 'chew the cud' in the KJV is more exactly 'bring up the cud'. Rabbits do not bring up anything; they let it go all the way through, then eat it again. The description given in Leviticus is inaccurate, and that's that. Rabbits do eat their own dung; they do not bring anything up and chew on it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Insects do NOT have four feet
LEV 11:21 Yet these may ye eat of every flying creeping thing that goeth upon all four, which have legs above their feet, to leap withal upon the earth;
LEV 11:22 Even these of them ye may eat; the locust after his kind, and the bald locust after his kind, and the beetle after his kind, and the grasshopper after his kind.
LEV 11:23 But all other flying creeping things, which have four feet, shall be an abomination unto you.

Snails do not melt
PSA 58:8 As a snail which melteth, let every one of them pass away: like the untimely birth of a woman, that they may not see the sun.

Fowl from waters or ground?
GEN 1:20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
GEN 1:21 And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
GEN 2:19 And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.

Snakes, while built low, do not eat dirt

Order of creation
Here is the order in the first (Genesis 1), the Priestly tradition:
Day 1: Sky, Earth, light
Day 2: Water, both in ocean basins and above the sky(!)
Day 3: Plants
Day 4: Sun, Moon, stars (as calendrical and navigational aids)
Day 5: Sea monsters (whales), fish, birds, land animals, creepy-crawlies (reptiles, insects, etc.)
Day 6: Humans (apparently both sexes at the same time)
Day 7: Nothing (the Gods took the first day off anyone ever did)
Note that there are "days", "evenings", and "mornings" before the Sun was created. Here, the Deity is referred to as "Elohim", which is a plural, thus the literal translation, "the Gods". In this tale, the Gods seem satisfied with what they have done, saying after each step that "it was good".
The second one (Genesis 2), the Yahwist tradition, goes:
Earth and heavens (misty)
Adam, the first man (on a desolate Earth)
Plants
Animals
Eve, the first woman (from Adam's rib)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How orderly were things created?
#1: Step-by-step. The only discrepancy is that there is no Sun or Moon or stars on the first three "days".
#2: God fixes things up as he goes. The first man is lonely, and is not satisfied with animals. God finally creates a woman for him. (funny thing that an omniscient god would forget things)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How satisfied with creation was he?
#1: God says "it was good" after each of his labors, and rests on the seventh day, evidently very satisfied.
#2: God has to fix up his creation as he goes, and he would certainly not be very satisfied with the disobedience of that primordial couple. (funny thing that an omniscient god would forget things)

Moses' personality
Num.12:3: "Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon the fact of the earth."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Righteous live?
Ps.92:12: "The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree."
Isa.57:1: "The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Acts 1:18: "Now this man (Judas) purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out."
Matt. 27:5-7: "And he (Judas) cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself. And the chief priests...bought with them the potter's field."

The GENEALOGY OF JESUS?
In two places in the New Testament the genealogy of Jesus son of Mary (PBUH) is mentioned. Matthew 1:6-16 and Luke 3:23-31. Each gives the ancestors of Joseph the CLAIMED husband of Mary and Step father of Jesus(PBUH). The first one starts from Abraham(verse 2) all the way down to Jesus. The second one from Jesus all the way back to Adam. The only common name to these two lists between David and Jesus is JOSEPH, How can this be true? and also How can Jesus have a genealogy when all Muslims and most Christians believe that Jesus had/has no father.
JOB 26:7 He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.
JOB 38:4 Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.
Heaven supported too
JOB 26:11 The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof.

The hydrological cycle
ECC 1:7 All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; unto the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again.
JOB 38:22 Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow? or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail,
Storehouses are not part of the cycle
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Order of creation
Here is the order in the first (Genesis 1), the Priestly tradition:
Day 1: Sky, Earth, light
Day 2: Water, both in ocean basins and above the sky(!)
Day 3: Plants
Day 4: Sun, Moon, stars (as calendrical and navigational aids)
Day 5: Sea monsters (whales), fish, birds, land animals, creepy-crawlies (reptiles, insects, etc.)
Day 6: Humans (apparently both sexes at the same time)
Day 7: Nothing (the Gods took the first day off anyone ever did)
Note that there are "days", "evenings", and "mornings" before the Sun was created. Here, the Deity is referred to as "Elohim", which is a plural, thus the literal translation, "the Gods". In this tale, the Gods seem satisfied with what they have done, saying after each step that "it was good".
The second one (Genesis 2), the Yahwist tradition, goes:
Earth and heavens (misty)
Adam, the first man (on a desolate Earth)
Plants
Animals
Eve, the first woman (from Adam's rib)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How orderly were things created?
#1: Step-by-step. The only discrepancy is that there is no Sun or Moon or stars on the first three "days".
#2: God fixes things up as he goes. The first man is lonely, and is not satisfied with animals. God finally creates a woman for him. (funny thing that an omniscient god would forget things)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How satisfied with creation was he?
#1: God says "it was good" after each of his labors, and rests on the seventh day, evidently very satisfied.
#2: God has to fix up his creation as he goes, and he would certainly not be very satisfied with the disobedience of that primordial couple. (funny thing that an omniscient god would forget things)

For or against?

Whom did they see at the tomb?
MAT 28:2 And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.
MAT 28:3 His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:
MAT 28:4 And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.
MAT 28:5 And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.
MAR 16:5 And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted.
LUK 24:4 And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:
JOH 20:12 And seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.

Depends where you look; Matthew 12:40 gives Jesus prophesying that he will spend "three days and three nights in the heart of the earth", and Mark 10:34 has "after three days (meta treis emeras) he will rise again". As far as I can see from a quick look, the prophecies have "after three days", but the post-Resurrection narratives have "on the third day".

Trust me. I have questioned the validity of my religion. But my religion, unlike a lot of others, preaches forgiveness, love, peace, and the ability to give. Even if its all a crock of shit, I know that I have done a lot of good in my life. Hopefully enough to balance the bad I've done.
Miggidy gave you the prophecys;. 2-0-sixx tried to disclaim them. I did two because I didn't have more time and because it was directed to Migg and rectal, had migg not responded I would have. That is the proof that they offered, that is the proof that was upheald and defended. If you are talking about the easter thing I can offer and answer in one word: redaction. When you can truly, not just superficially, see why so many biblical scholars (theist and atheist) alike have given years and years of their lifes to understand the purposes and reasons for redaction you will have a better understanding of my answer. Again you can say I am 'trying to dodge a bullet' but I gave you an answer. I do not feel I have to do your homework for you. Research it.

you still have not provided the correct proof. citing the debatable text at hand is not proving anything, what 2-0 and i are doing is showing the conflicts WITHIN the bible.... validate your bible using outside resources. i could prove that the white race is superior by citing mein kampf, but we all know, citing the questionable text is no proof at all.
