There are no prophecies in Christianity that have not come true.....at all! Only ones that have or haven't happened yet.

Name even one prophecy in either OT or NT that came true outside of either - and is unambiguous in what happened, what was supposed to happen, and was properly witnessed.

When a prophecy in the OT "comes true" in the NT, that cannot be counted since the accuracy of the Bible has not been adequately demonstrated. Further, it would be obviously self-serving for the authors of the Bible to enumerate fulfilled prophecies whether they happened or not.

What YOU need is a healthy dose of skepticism.

Watch these documentaries and tell me about how there's not that much pagan prophecies coming true. All groups have had prophecies come to light and some that didn't. Just because you've never heard of it, doesn't mean it hasn't happened. These doc. is about 2012 and that prophecy but it mentions a bunch that have come to light.

Because only the prophets whose prophesies actually came to pass are included in the Hebrew Bible. There were many prophets in those days. Why include false prophets in the Bible?

The Christian Bible (NT) was written long after the prophesies of the Hebrew Bible. It really doesn't take a scholar to create a "fulfillment" story after the fact!

"A prophet never foretells 'a fixed, unchangeable future.' Prophets do not predict what will happen tomorrow. Instead, 'they announce a present that requires human choice and decision.' It is a present 'in which the future is being prepared' but whose outcome depends upon the work and decisions of human beings." Philosopher Martin Buber, quoted from "A Torah Commentary for our Times" by Harvey J. Fields

Well as far as I know pagan relgions don't have prophecies unless you are talking about the tarot readings that pagans do... in which case they probably have more prophecies come true than the christian bible... however christian prophecies are guranteed while pagan prophecies are not.

Actually, prophecy is pretty easy in hindsight. The oracle at Delphi, according to its own PR, had a much more impressive track record then either Judaism or Christianity.

Edit: You show your ignorance. Not only did the Oracle at Delphi have a millennium and a half track record of making prophecies, but the Sybil of Cumae supposedly accurately predicted the future of Rome from Kingdom to Republic to Empire. It was a prophecy that told King Byzantius where to found his city, a city that would become one of the most important Christian cities for a thousand years. And common English words for prophecy, like augury, comes from Etruscan mysticism.

However, your critique of vagueness regarding pagan prophecy is justified, but in that it is just like biblical prophecy, the vague wording means it can be back engineered into history whenever and however you want.

perhaps there is something true in those religions.. and Judaism is also following Christianity for some extent so there you have the answer but that's too uncomfortable for many to believe it's true
