There are more prophecies yet to come, but this just shows how many prophecies have already been fulfilled in Christianity. No other faith in the world could match this. Very few prophecies had been fulfilled in other religions, such as Buddhism, Hinduism, Mormonism, Islam....the list goes on. This just goes to show how powerful the Christian faith really is. All of these prophecies actually had happened. The Bible verses in the list are there so that you know where to find the reference to the particular prophecy. To see what the unfulfilled prophecies are, read the entire book of Revelation.

[Tom Paine]

Um, might one point something out?

We have here a situation of people writing a series of prophecies about the Messiah. We later have other people writing about someone they believe to be the Messiah, people literate in the texts of the previous group of people, who wrote prophecies about the Messiah. Now, we have the word of only these people on the fulfilment of these prophecies by the person they believe to be the Messiah; am I the only one who feels a healthy dose of cynicism is needed here?

[ThiudareiksGunthigg]

am I the only one who feels a healthy dose of cynicism is needed here?

No. All of these so called "fullfilled prophecies" have been shown to be contrived and evidence of nothing more than what you can do with some out of context quotes if you try hard enough.

The OP really needs to read THIS.

[Irishman]

I think you are looking too much into this.

First, most of these "Prophecies" are only saying things like: the Messiah will be God, or the Messiah will be Jewish.

Also, there are a lot of "phrophecies" in there which are only "fulfilled" by the word of the bible, a book worshiping a man AS the prophet.

I didn't see one in there (I didn't read the entire thing, WAY to many repeats) which gave credence to the Church.

Most of those prophecies are simply fulfilled BY THE BIBLE. The only thing we have to go on to see if most of those came to be is a book which clearly thinks Jesus was the Messiah.

I dont see how a mythological book gives any credence to CLAIMING the myth's prophecies were fulfilled.

am I the only one who feels a healthy dose of cynicism is needed here?

Not at all, I completely agree.

[The Good]

Keep in mind that there are many secular Historians agree that much of these prophecies had happened. The ones that are more difficult to accept, are the ones like these, He was born of a virgin, He was resurrected from the dead, and so on.

am I the only one who feels a healthy dose of cynicism is needed here?

Being a Cynic or Sceptic is good for reasoning, but becomes a bit of a handicap if you aspire to truly understand a faith. When you read this list, I recommend that you have a Bible nearby, so that you could see the verses which reference to prophecy.

No, they agree one or two happened, but very few if any of those directly about the Messiah are sourced from anywhere but the Bible and nor do other sources exist. Others tend to be a matter of interpretation, for that matter...

No, its a handicap when aspiring to understand faith; understanding a faith properly, rather than simply accepting it, requires huge doses of each.

[Ummagumma]

I got as far as "The Messiah would come for all nations."

That explains why Christianity is the universal religion then, with no other ones on the planet? Or was it prophesied that the many of the people on the planet (most of them?) had never heard of Christianity (or Judaism) until missionaries arrived hundreds or thousands of years later..

Nice try though. Did you compile and type all that out yourself or was it cut and pasted from somewhere?

[Amorphos]

If I recall correctly, according to... the one whose name I forgot, something with J I think, the one with the aegyptian's invasion and stuff, he actually was to spread the law on the whole world before he died (the person, NOT THE FAITH, but even then it would be untrue, look when christiany got perverted and when it actually was to become a established world religion... it's the way round, therefore this remains unachieved) and very vaguely that he should not be defeatet. Now when we apply this on the person of Jesus, that one at least was obviously wrong.
Moar liek Muhammad though.

Just wanted to state that funfact about fulfilled prophecies. Actually, Lucius would be astounded by the ammount of actually fulfilled Qur-anic prophecies (of course they were very "poetically" (that is extremely vague) formulated, who would have thought?).
But prophecies of any people who wrote something about some strange person to come at some time in some place and to be some kind of a reformator can be suspected to be fulfilled anyway, so says experience at least. And prophecies about a popular reformator being punished by the clerus aswell. Maybe Luther was actually Messiah? Would easily fit. Or how about Nietzsche? :O Unthinkable to most, but would fit some prophecies.
Let's also not forget the unreliabilty of the bible as a source, for obvious reasons, many of this could have been written long after Jesu dead. Let's also not forget that the bible is the only source on Jesu life... :hmmm:

Edit: It was Iesaja.

QUIGLEY, cwig'li, JAMES EDWARD: Roman Catholic; b. at Oshawa, Ontario, Oct. 15, 1854. He received his education at St. Joseph's College, Buffalo, N. Y., the Seminary of our Lady of Angels (now Niagara University), the University of Innsbruck, and the College of the Propaganda, Rome; was ordained priest, 1879; was pastor of St. Vincent's, Attica, N. Y., 1879-84; of St. Joseph's Cathedral, Buffalo, 1884-96; and of St. Bridget's Church, same city, 1896-97; became bishop of Buffalo, 1897-1903; and in 1903 was installed archbishop of Chicago.

QUIRINIUS (QUIRINUS), cwui-rin'i-us, PUBLIUS SULPICIUS:

His Life.
A Roman general and administrator; b. at Lanuvium (c. 20 m. s. of Rome); d. in Rome 21 A.D. As a reward for military and administrative services he was raised by Augustus to the office of consul in the year 12 B.C. Later he waged successful war against the Homonadenses in Cilicia, and was granted the honor of a triumph. He was assigned as adviser to Caius Caesar when this youth, a nephew and adopted son of the emperor, was engaged in the reduction of Armenia to order. He secretly paid court to Tiberius, who at the time was but a prince living in retirement on the island 375

of Rhodes. From 6-9 A.D. he was legatus Augusti, i.e., governor, in Syria. At his death the Emperor Tiberius wrote to the senate asking that a public funeral be decreed. In this letter the emperor recalled the attentions paid to him by Quirinius at Rhodes and praised him for his good offices, apparently in preventing at that time misunderstandings between Tiberius and Caius Caesar. But to the people generally the memory of Quirinius was by no means dear, because of his persistence in the trial of his wife Lepida, whose conviction he secured on the charges of adultery, attempted poisoning, and treasonable dealing, but who had the sympathy of the people; and also because of his sordid avarice even in his old age (Tacitus, Annales, iii. 48; Strabo, xii. 6, 3, and 5; Josephus, Ant., XVII, xiii. 5, XVIII., i. 1, ii. 1). As a necessary conclusion from the facts recited by Tacitus, and in view of Roman governmental principles, it is inferred that Quirinius was governor of Syria, not only 6-9 A.D., but also at the time of the war in Cilicia, probably during 3-2 B.C., in succession to Varus (Zumpt, Mommsen, Sch�rer). Ramsay dates this earlier Syrian administration-not a governership, however-and the conquest of the Homonadenses in 4-3 B.C. at the latest, but perhaps earlier; and Quirinius' proconsulship of the province Asia (attested, he believes, by the Tivoli inscription) at latest 3-2 B.C.

Luke's References.
In the book of the Acts Luke mentions an enrolment of the people which was made in Judea and provoked bitter opposition (Acts v. 37). This was the census which, according to Josephus, was taken when Quirinius was governor of Syria and Coponius was procurator, i.e., between 6-9 A.D. (Ant., XVIII., i. 1, ii. 1; War., II., viii. 1). In the Gospel also Luke mentions an enrolment in Palestine (see CENSUS). It was part of a general enumerartion decreed by Augustus for the entire Roman empire. It led to the visit of Joseph and Mary to Bethlehem, and was thus in a way the occasion of the birth of Christ in that town. Luke calls this "the first enrolment made when Quirinius was governor of Syria" (Luke ii. 2). Now the birth of Christ took place before the death of Herod the Great (Matt. ii. 1; Luke iii. 1, 2, 23). Herod died in the year 4 B.C. How then can Luke say that Quirinius was governor of Syria? C. Sentius Saturninus held that office from 9 or 8 to the first half of the year 6 B.C.; and was succeeded by P. Quinctilius Varus, who continued until 4 B.C.

The "First Enrolment."
Here, then, is a matter for investigation, and, if possible, elucidation. No evidence has been adduced against the genuineness of the verse in Luke, or of the reading "Quirinius" in that passage. Nor does any suspicion of error attach to the statements of Josephus which fix the date of the administrations of Saturninus and Varus and of Quirinius, a decade later, when Judas of Galilee revolted. As to Luke's statement that the enrolment, which was being conducted at the time of Christ's birth, took place "when Quirinius was governor of Syria," Mommsen and Sch�rer, for example, have expressed the opinion that the evangelist erred. But this summary dismissal of Luke's testimony as erroneous has not been deemed wholly satisfactory by scholars, for Luke shows himself well informed on historical matters and his accuracy has been vindicated in many other instances. Moved by considerations of this kind Zumpt, in the "middle of the last century, having found reason to believe that Quirinius held the office of legate of Syria in 3-2 B.C. in succession to Varus, gave Was his opinion that the first enrolment began indeed during the administration of Saturninus, but was completed during the first governorship of Quirinius, 3-2 B.C. In principle this is the theory of Ramsay also. His modification consists in that he does not regard Quirinius as sole legate for Syria and successor to Varus (as do Zumpt, Mommsen, and Sch�rer); but as a legate for a special purpose, who was associated with the legate appointed for the general administration. And Ramsay elaborates the theory of Zumpt in that he offers an explanation for the delay in completing the census, his explanation being the same as that given long ago by Hales. It is known that under the Roman government a periodic enumeration of households was conducted in Egypt every fourteen years, reckoned from 23 B.C., the imperial year of Augustus. Professor Ramsay finds evidence of an enrolment in Syria, too, according to the fourteen-year cycle; Tertullian referring to one during the governorship of Saturninus, Josephus to one in 6 A.D., and Tacitus to one in 34 A.D. Thus an enrolment was due in Syria in the year 8 B.C. and made; but in Herod's kingdom it was probably delayed for some time, for Herod had gotten himself into trouble with Augustus. With. the consent of Saturninus, governor of Syria, Herod had marched an army into Arabia to redress certain wrongs which he had received (Ant., XVI., ix. 2). This proceeding was misrepresented to the emperor, who notified Herod, probably in the year 8 B.C., that henceforth he would treat him as a subject. Some time afterward the whole nation of the Jews, except 6,000 Pharisees, took an oath of fidelity to Caesar and the king jointly (Ant., XVII, ii. 4). Obviously the two acts, the oath and the enrolment, form part of the new policy of Augustus toward Herod. The date of the enrolment and the oath may be the year 6 B.C.; for Herod would have had little difficulty in obtaining leave from Saturninus to postpone the numbering until the embassy, which, after Augustus announced the change of policy toward him, he was sending to Rome to seek a reconciliation with the emperor and a restoration of the old order, should return and report the result of its efforts. Herod was finally obliged to order the census, and it was probably taken in the summer of the year 6 B.C., when Quirinius was a special legatos Aogusti to Syria, invested with the command of the army and entrusted with its foreign affairs, such as the relations between its several states and Rome, particularly where tension existed and military intervention might be necessary. Quirinius stood in exactly the same relation to Varus, the governor of Syria, as at a later time Vespasian did to Mucianus. Vespasian conducted the war in Palestine while Mucianus was governor of Syria; and Vespasian was Legatus Augusti, holding precisely 376

the same title and technical rank as Mucianus. See CENSUS, II., �� 4-5.

Many of these don't make sense.... and even so, how can a prophecy be in the New Testament? Shouldn't they, by definition, be in the Old?

Actually, yes, I copied and pasted it, but it wouldn't be any different if I typed it all myself, now would it? Same content basically, maybe the wording would be a little different.

There's a reason that I see a lot of those fat asses with downs syndromes wearing necklaces with crosses on them around their sweaty necks. It's because they're ****ing retards, and retards buy into this bull ****.

If Jesus gives a **** about me, why doesn't he explain to me why all women are selfish whores?

That post wasn't polite at all. I know what you mean behind those "asterisks."

I think what you mean to say is not that beind a cynic or a skeptic is a handicap for understanding faith, it's having a logical and rational mind that is a handicap for understanding faith.

Rational thought is to be admired, but not all things could be explained that way, not everything is rational. I regard myself as a rational person, rational doesn't have to be only applied to the non-religious.

The evidence for "fulfilled" prophecies is weak, yet strong evidence for anything is what religions need the least to magnetize people. All they need are sophistries, and sophistries, such as the myth of prophecy fulfillment according to certain interpretations.

[Gaidin]

*snip bigass list*

Great use of circular logic sir. Independent sources for proving the prophecies have been fulfilled would be GREAT.

[Gwendylyn]

That's one of the worse cases of copypasta ever. Overwhelming opponents with too much information does not win an argument.

Here's a challenge... choose ONE of the prophecies in the nice long and un-detailed list and prove it as a divinely fulfilled prophecy.

EDIT: Besides, Nostradamus has waaay more "fulfilled" prophecies than the Bible.

[The Good]

This thread isn't about showing evidence for the prophecies as much as to let all of you know that Christianity, is the only religion on Earth with this amount fulfilled prophecies. Go ahead and discuss the historocity of these prophecies, however, Jesus was not made up by a few ancient writers, he actually lived, and he must have fulfilled these prophecies.

The Bible uses itself to prove itself. Hence, circular logic. Hence, fallacy. Hence, you have no evidence whatsoever that that many prophecies were fulfilled(if any at all).
