No problem with discussion. It just seems like your discussion is more of a "this is my belief and I'm sticking to it". I don't have a problem with it but there isn't real discussion.
The irony of you making this statement to me is actually humorous. You literally began your participation in this thread explaining that your approach to the Bible, presumably for decades, has been to simply by default assume it's true from the start.
Myth Or History?
Please,
please Physician... heal thyself.
No, you explained why you thought it didn't apply even though it fulfilled your criteria.
1) Specific and verifiable details of the future event being prophesied should be given: names, dates, times, specific locations, and specific actions or events.
They were very specific and given name, specific location and events.
There's another word there in that bullet point, even in bold for you. The details must be
verifiable. If we have no way to reliably verify that a prophecy was either made or fulfilled, why in the world would we believe it?
2) The prophecy should be fulfilled in the way it was expected to be fulfilled before the alleged fulfillment, not after. Post hoc or “spiritualized” reinterpretations should not be accepted.
No spiritualized reinterpretations. Fulfilled
As explained to you before, we have more than one reason to believe that the "prophecy" in fact
did not come before the fulfillment. These reasons were given but dismissed without real engagement. Actually reply to them this time, perhaps?
3) The events being prophesied cannot be plausibly predicted via any known means, e.g. through scientific prediction or projection. Similarly, the probability of the prophesied events being correctly guessed by someone would have to be astronomically low, if not zero.
No scientific prediction or projection.
So, you can see it fulfilled according to your specification. Now that it was fulfilled, you are moving the goalpost and adding "requirements".
As anyone can now reasonably see... no, no moving of goalposts. Just methodical explanation to you, again, of the same things I've been saying.
Look are Israel in archaeology. Multiple sites and innumerable artifacts, locations, verifications et al.
Again, this is vague. Yes Kenny, Israel is a real place, lol.
There are lots of artifacts from Israel's history. Neat. No one denies this.
Do any of those artifacts confirm that this alleged prophecy or its alleged fulfillment occured as described?
So, rather than passing the buck to me, would you please hold on to your buck?
The buck has been yours from square one, Kenny. We'll see if you respond substantively to what I've said. Hope springs eternal!
