Emergence

Perhaps R&S should be retitled the "Youtube" topic? -

[Theland]

Do you disagree with the video then? Why? Which prophecy?

[naomi24]

Theland, you have been given (several times) a RATIONAL explanation for the existence of the State of Israel. You have consistently ignored it and you’re still ignoring it. As disappointing as that may be for you there really is no magic in it.

[Theland]

A RATIONAL explanation? And what would that be?
And are the prophecies in the video wrong? If so, which ones?

[Theland]

Nailit - I have just looked it all up. Nebuchadnezzar destroyed the mainland city and Alexander finished off the island. Don't be lazy. Look it all up yourself.
Anyway, what prophecies are wrong in the video? Or are you just happy looking for trip wires like Naomi?
I honestly don't know why you both bother seeing as you are disinterested and don't believe in God to boot.

[Theland]

Naomi - Like I suggested earlier you are strong on assertions and assumptions and weak on evidence.

[naomi24]

Theland, having been told several times why the State of Israel
exists asking what the rational explanation might be is proof positive that in every instance you’ve ignored it.

[Theland]

Now you are are just being deliberately argumentative for the sake of it. Quite boring really.
If you want to refute the evidence with your own then we can proceed, otherwise I'll just watch the cat grooming itself.

[naomi24]

You watch the cat grooming itself, Theland. A far more useful occupation than watching fantasy videos.

[Theland]

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!
C'mon Kitty.

[Theland]

As a parting shot, I note that not once have you presented any evidence of your own.
I stroke the cat, you stroke your ego.
That's me finished on this thread.

[naomi24]

Theland, your ‘notes’ result from your habit of ignoring thoughts that contradict your own. It’s all been said before but in a nutshell the evidence (the bible) confirms that your god was neither omnipotent nor infallible - and Israel exists because the Jews never ceased to pursue their ambition.

It’s not rocket science - or magic.

Theland, I'll leave aside your asinine remarks about been lazy and ask you, have you actually read Ezekiel ch26 for yourself?
No mention of Alexander there. And its talks of Tyre been utterly destroyed and being no more.
Strange is it not that it still exists as a popular tourist destination, especially as Ezekiel said that the ocean depths would cover it!

//I honestly don't know why you both bother seeing as you are disinterested and don't believe in God to boot//
You don't know why I bother??
Because I prefer truth to falsehood and facts to fiction maybe?
The difference between you and me is that I don't read the Bible with God Goggles on anymore.

Just seen ur post @ 12:15
//That's me finished on this thread//

Seems to go against ur earlier post
//I do not ignore arguments//

YOU DO!!!
And everyone can see it

[naomi24]

Nailit, ‘god goggles’. What a lovely expression. How funny! :o)

[nailit]

Certainly apt though naomi I think. :-)
They were what I used as an evangelical Christian. Then I took them off and everything became clear...

[naomi24]

Oh yes, I believe it.

[nailit]

I see in latest posts that Theland is lurking.
But no reply here so far.
Bet if Theland posts here, it will be with another question, rather than answer previous ones.
Always easier to distract by answering a question with another question.
(or of course, by totally ignoring it and hoping it goes away
….and banging on about Israel while ignoring the hundreds of other unfulfilled prophecies. AKA Confirmation bias)

[Theland]

Hundreds of unfulfilled prophecies?
Do you want me to devote my life pandering to your numerous requests for further elucidation?
Watch the video about Israel and tell me where it goes wrong?
It is blatantly obvious to me that your claims to have read the bible hardly include any deeper understanding of it.
God goggles? Ha ha titter titter and a round of applause for the man intent on inflating his own ego, egged on by another who prefers assertions based on assumptions rather than present evidence.

[Theland]

Nailit what is YOUR explanation for the founding of the Israeli state after thousands of years, and it's amazing success?
Miraculous or rational?
And why?
