Did they by any chance forecast who's gonna take the Superbowl this year? I'd like to get an early bet down, while the odds are still high --

Jerusalem has been torn down and rebuilt so many times, that to get it wrong, they'd have to prophesy that it WASN'T going to be torn down and rebuilt! That's like prophesying the sun will go down tonight and rise again tomorrow, and we all know what "Annie" has to say about that --

Nope - just stupid men, territorial morons. Once again, war mongering at it's lowest. Yaaaay, destruction, and by the by, the killing and spilling of lots of blood, the mangling of bodies, fathers losing wives and children, all to be torn asunder, to appease a god, who seems to have forgotten his omnipotence, or who seems to have lost it in a burning bush.

What a gentle loving god you worship.

The problem with your statement is that this warmongering is now spreading to the rest of the world - Bravo you, how proud you must be.

Christ did forecast, not only wars and rumors of wars, but also famines, pestilence and earthquakes in diverse places.  Yes, wars have been waged by Europe and  Byzantium in the name of Christianity and colonial conquests also. But that is my point, these nations actually constitute the Beast and are not apart of God. The Blasphemy of the Beast, is prophesied in Daniel, the synopic Gospels, Thessalonians and  the Revelation.

Michael you seem to have an obsession with beasts. Do you have bad dreams or what happens? Did someone scare you with beasts when you were young and the fear never left you? 

How could christ forecast anything if the evidence even for his having existed is so weak? I think it's time you got a hobby and in the absence of one you could even start by playing solitaire on your computer!

Again, all of those are located in what, by your own words, are, "three stupid books, and testosterone driven morons" - you can't have it both ways.

You are aware as well as I, that in Africa very educated people will give testimony to bizarre and strange encounters. Maybe some of these are drug induced, however even investigators have attested to strange phenomena that they can't explain. Most notiable would be Aldous Huxley.

RE: "even investigators have attested to strange phenomena that they can't explain."

I would need to know specifically what phenomena, by whom it was investigated, and by what methodology.

Unless of course, you're just making this up --

And BTW, Huxley was born in the century BEFORE last, and died in 1963, before we had even a small percentage of the investigative equipment available that we now have, so don't even try to use him as a reference. If Huxley is the most "notiable," your whole story is in a bit of a credibility quagmire.

This is why I am forced go back to the original tongues to avoid, trinitarian,denominational sway and transliterational errors. For instance the King James has been translated with a Trinitarian bias. The hoodwinked and befuddled on earth do not void the veracity and authenticity of the original tongues nor immutablity of His counsel.

None of the original works exist - just copies of copies of copies. The tongue might be original, but not necessarily the words.

And even if they accidentally were, how much validity can anyone expect from a 3,000 year-old man, who believed that the earth was flat and that the moon produced its own light?

@ archaeopteryx

Traditional African medicine is a holistic discipline involving indigenous herbalism and African spirituality, typically involving diviners, midwives, and herbalists. Practitioners of traditional African medicine claim to be able to cure various and diverse conditions such as cancers, psychiatric disorders, high blood pressure, cholera, most venereal diseases, epilepsy, asthma, eczema, fever, anxiety, depression, benign prostatic hyperplasia, urinary tract infections, gout, and healing of wounds and burns.^[1]

Diagnosis is reached through spiritual means and a treatment is prescribed, usually consisting of an herbal remedy that has not only healing abilities, but symbolic and spiritual significance. Traditional African medicine, with its belief that illness is not derived from chance occurrences, but through spiritual or social imbalance, differs greatly from In recent years, the treatments and remedies used in traditional African medicine have gained more appreciation from researchers in Western science. Developing countries have begun to realize the high costs of modern health care systems and the technologies that are required, thus proving Africa's dependence to it.^[2] Due to this, interest has recently been expressed in integrating traditional African medicine into the continent's national health care systems.^[1] An African healer embraced this concept by making a 48-bed hospital, the first of its kind, in Kwa-Mhlanga, South Africa, which combines traditional methods with homeopathy, iridology, and other Western healing methods,

I use the litmus test prescribed by Moses. If what that prophet says does not come to pass, he shall be stoned and you shall not fear him. Of course I can not stone a prophet, but these prophets made predictions destined for their current day also and obviously remain among the living. Also I have seen for myself their worlds coming true by my study of history and current events. I have posted already near term things that are indeed coming true.
