Bible Question:
Aloha Brad, Mark, Doc and CDBJ, Some of us out there have very analytical minds and things have to make sense. The bible says to reason together and study the word to be able to give an account for your belief. It also says that God is not the author of confusion. My questions are pertaining to four prophecies of Jesus that are blatantly false. How could Jesus make false prophesies as he is God the son? Failed prophesy #1: Matt 12:40, "For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth." We all know that from Friday afternoon to early Sunday morning one cannot find three days and three nights. Then again it is confirmed in Mark 8:31, saying AFTER three days he will rise again. We all know that an evening and a morning constitute a full day Failed prophesy #2: Matt 16:28, "Assuredly, I say to you, there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom." Well it's been nearly 2000 years and Christ hasn't yet returned and surely those he was speaking to are not still alive. Are they? Failed prophesy #3: John 14:12, "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to my Father." Either it's a false prophesy or there hasn't been one believer yet. Can you name any believers who have matched or done greater works than Jesus, such as raise the dead, turn water into wine, walk on water or feed 5000 people with two fishes and five loaves of bread? False prophesy #4: Mark 16:15-18, Jesus tells his disciples there will be signs that follow those who believe. The believers will cast out demons, speak with new tongues, handle snakes, drink poisons without getting hurt and will be able to heal the sick. Again, either it is a false prophesy or there has never been anyone who really believes. Do you know of anyone who can drink poison and not get hurt? Can you all explain these without getting confusing? Thank you very much. Always seeking the truth, pukalanian |
