Believers in scriptural prophecy: Is there any way you would accept a prophecy...

[EricK1]

...as being falsified? What evidence would convince you that a given prophecy was false, rather than unfulfilled?

In discussions of prophecy, I often hear, "It simply hasn't come to pass YET", as a defense when the critique is raised that believers are ignoring all the misses and only focusing on the hits. If the whole idea of scriptural prophecy cannot ever be disproved, because you believe there are only fulfilled prophecies and as-yet unfulfilled prophecies, then how can prophecy be used as a tool for establishing the veracity of divine revelation? Doesn't it shift right back to a matter of faith as opposed to evidence if you can't discriminate between the false and the unfulfilled?

Thanks.

NOT A PROPHESY OF GOD/JESUS, His prophecies are now being fulfilled ...go to your yahoo search engine and type in "Word In Classic Painting" and the list of websites that pop up the site with the same phrase in its listing "Word In Classic Painting"" enter into it, and on the about page near the bottom are many proofs, even pictures of satan/death/unclean spirits fought by Adam and Our Lord Jesus Christ! You must be of an age to visit this Epic gathering website where Gods mystery if now finished, and His code/key for the now end of premature aging and sickness Rev:21:4 is exposed, Gods enemy exposed for what it was/is merely an unclean spirit! Contact page is for questions, and for proofs being sent and received and for declaring your gathering....IT HAS BEGUN...The Epic gathering

prophecies can be vague so you can interpret them anyway you want

Prophetes literally means to speak for God. For Christians Jesus is the prophet par excellance.
We believe that he spoke through his words, actions and especially his death on the cross. He has the final word so to speak. Predictions about disasters or the end of the world do not matter for those who follow Christ.
