Please provide examples of what the Bible has predicted.
Let me Google that for you.The information is everywhere for those who seek it.
One prophecy that pops in my head in the second I saw this is Amos 9:14-15 that said Israel would become a nation which happened on May 14, 1948 but as you can see from Google there are hundreds more, google the Hosea prophecy which is happening right now.
Code:
And I will bring again the captivity of my people of Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them. And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them, saith the Lord thy God.
The Hosea prophecy basically says massive numbers of animals will die in the later days and even the media has picked up on mass animal deaths such as birds. However if you dig deeper, you'll see that animals are dying everywhere and for the most part the mainstream media has ignored this. Also thats not even getting into the signs of the heavens which in the last ten years have been 100% accurate to the bible. Check out the pattern of blood moons in the last decade.
Still I suppose you aren't going to get it unless God writes it on your heart. We can disagree at this point, I have no beef with that.
Also I can account for every other religion under Christianity. I can tell you why they were made and why they continue to exist. However I would offend probably 50% of the people if I posted what the bible actually says about other religions so I am not going there. I will, however, explain Jewish. Jewish believes in a lot of the same prophecies Christianity believes in, the core difference among others, is that they don't believe that the Messiah is Christ. They are still waiting for God to come so they are blind to the fact he has come and gone already. I personally don't think Jewish is wrong because they still believe in the Messiah and the bible makes it pretty clear they are his people, however misguided (which we all are by the way). The bible says his people die because they lack wisdom in Hosea 4:6.
Code:
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
I don't suspect Gods goal is not be all like, oh you picked religion B, your going to hell. Other religions have their place and I don't personally believe those following them are going to hell. But this part is strictly my opinion.
Edited - merged double post so its easier to read.
