Tentativity and The Bible

Response to the content of the OP:There is a way that seems right to a man that will only bring him deathThe biblical account of creation is the only one to rely upon .... communicated by the Creator HimselfThings to ponder about the biblical account:Why did the earth need a makeover about 6000 years ago?How old is the universe?How long has mankind been on the planet?Why are all of the other planets in the earth's solar system uninhabitable?Is the earth and the others of the same age?When was this event? [Job 38:1-7] .... who was present?Why is there a breaching of time lapse between Genesis 1:1 ..... and Genesis 1:2?What was the condition of the earth as viewed from the planet and why?Edited by Straightshot, : No reason given.Edited by Straightshot, : No reason given.

Try this RingoStudy and learn the Lord's prophetic word and then test it against recorded historyYou will find that the congruence is 100% accurateAll prophecy in the Bible is given in advance .... and then always comes to pass exactly as writtenThe prophets lived at different times and in different places, and yet they all see the very same thingsThere is no way that their projections could just be coincidentalSo their inspirations must be coming from one source [2 Peter 1:16-21]Give it a tryIt worked for me .... and I am a big skeptic and a realistIt is essential for a skeptic to discover that the Bible is what it claims to be, the rest is a matter of seeking the balanceI have no affiliation with any organizational religion and never have .... so if I can do this .... you canEdited by Straightshot, : No reason given.Edited by Straightshot, : No reason given.

ringoI don't have to prove anything to you, but understand that the Lord knows the ending of the beginning of all things in advanceBoth Nebuchadnezzar and Alexander the great attacked Tyre [the original coastal island city] .... and it is this Tyre that is no morehttp://www.padfield.com/1994/tyre.htmlAlso understand that when the Lord brings destruction to a city or nation, the destruction comes to the people of the day .... but this does not mean that future cities will not be built later on the same topographyThe fact is that Tyre was destroyed just as Ezekiel projectedCities have been built on the top of other previous cities in the Middle East for centuries .... the are called telsInstead of reconstructing and repairing the original city, the same locations are then used to build another on the top of the tel .... but the original city is not reconstructedSo when the Lord brings destruction upon a people and their city He does it .... what is built again is another matterHere is another exampleThe Lord brought the Assyrians against the ancient city of Damascus in Syria [Isaiah 17:1]So for the people of the day their city was completely destroyed into a ruinous heap .... Damascus no longer existedHowever, the city was later re-builtThe point is that the Lord gives His prophets advanced warning that judgment is coming because the people of the city or a nation have brought it upon themselves by their behavior which is unacceptable to the LordSo He sets out to destroy their cultural environment of the intransigent populations living there at the timeWhen a Bible prophet makes a dire prediction against a city or nation that refuses to repent and turn to God it will come to pass .... this is the way of the Lord, and He can and will make good on His intentsThe early Island nation of Tyre was warned and when the Lord's warning by His prophet was ignored, the Lord brought the destruction as promisedHere is an example of a future and similar event that is coming [Revelation 8:6-12; 14:8; 17:16-18; 18]Evidence bears truth .... the predictions of His prophets always come to pass .... and the same for future events will come to pass just as writtenBecause of this one can know that the Lord is in control of His creation and that His Word recorded in the scriptures of the Bible is true .... all of it .... from cover to cover Edited by Straightshot, : No reason given.Edited by Straightshot, : No reason given.Edited by Straightshot, : No reason given.

When the Lord warns and tells of things to come related to the destruction of a people and their city or nation because of their intransigent behavior it will always come to pass .... and the evidence is always proven by the historical recordThis does not mean that He erred just because another later human effort to build again in the same location takes placeHis will is always accomplished in all that He sets out to do .... no doubtHe knows the ending from the beginning of all things Edited by Straightshot, : No reason given.

I see that your rating doesn't look very high CoragypsWhere is Snyder, Texas?I do know what your problem is .... most people have itHere is what you need to do .... and if you do, then you will be able to discern the Lord's prophetic proseIf you don't, you will never get itJohn
3:1 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:3:2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.3:4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.3:8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.3:9 Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?3:10 Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?3:11 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.3:12 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?3:13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.3:14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:3:15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.Edited by Straightshot, : No reason given.

Two different propheciesThe first fulfilled.... the next still pendingDo you understand that time moves on a linear continuum?Circular lapsing is not the way the universe works .... what is past .... is pastWhat is future .... will be .... futureNo "ringo" business allowed Edited by Straightshot, : No reason given.
