I'm going to second your recommendation (in general as I don't know the particular thread you're writing about), LadyShea. Half-Life, I almost didn't respond to your post as you have a terrible habit of bailing on threads you've either started or participated in. It's very dishonest and, as LS wrote, annoying. This is a 'Discussion Board' and, as such, a discussion is what is expected of you. If you don't feel like doing that, you should probably stop posting. You are quite welcome to do as you please, though.

As Jesus traveled around Israel preaching he was
often asked to provide a "sign".
When asked for a sign, he answered..[Matthew 16:4]
"""An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign;
and a sign will not be given it, except the sign of Jonah."
And He left them and went away.

By the "sign of Jonah", Jesus was referring to his future
death and resurrection.
But carefully notice who Jesus was speaking to when
he predicted his future death and resurrection.
""An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign""
Jesus was not speaking to his apostles and disciples.
Jesus was speaking to all the non-believers who heard
his message and asked for a "sign".

So after Jesus died and supposedly was resurrected,
how come the only people who see him are his own
followers.
He promised the ""evil and adulterous generation""
a "sign", but he never provided one.

The evil generation that was promised a "sign" has
died without seeing the sign that was promised them.
Doesn't this failure make Jesus a false prophet?
Doesn't this failure really prove that the resurrection
of Jesus was just wishful thinking, and imagination,
by his followers who were disappointed by his
death.

So, let me get this straight, Jesus refers to hi own future resurrection and death. And you claim this is not God? How did he know the future of the "sign." Also, explain how the Bible states that Gehenna will become a beautiful garden in the future and it is to this day. http://what-the-hell-is-hell.com/HellPhotos/

I've merged these "eyewitness" threads.

I think that your answer is irrelevant to my post.
Or perhaps you didn't understand what I wrote.
I did not not understand your post in relation to mine.
