Bible Question (short): Fulfilled prophecy proof of inspiration |
Question (full): Week by week I read assertions here that are more and more outrageous. Just when I think the assertions have become as outlandish (conspicuously unconventional, bizarre, strikingly unfamiliar) as possible, I read a new one that tops all previous posts. A case in point is as follows: Sir Pent writes: "I would question whether there is any evidence that the original manuscripts were inspired by God either." 2 Peter 1: 19 So we have the prophetic word made more sure, to which you do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star arises in your hearts. "That is, made more sure by fulfilment in part. Fulfilled prophecy is a proof of inspiration because the Scripture predictions of future events were uttered so long before the events transpired that no merely human sagacity or foresight could have anticipated them, and these predictions are so detailed, minute, and specific, as to exclude the possibility that they were mere fortunate guesses. "Hundreds of predictions concerning Israel, the land of Canaan, Babylon, Assyria, Egypt, and numerous personages--so ancient, so singular, so seemingly improbable, as well as so detailed and definite that no mortal could have anticipated them--have been fulfilled by the elements, and by men who were ignorant of them, or who utterly disbelieved them, or who struggled with frantic desperation to avoid their fulfilment. "It is certain, therefore, that the Scriptures which contain them are inspired. "Prophecy came not in olden time by the will of man; but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost" 2 Peter 1:21." (http://bible.crosswalk.com/Commentaries/) |
