At any rate, since this thread is about the Tyre prophecy, you are off-topic. If you wish to debate Josephus and/or Daniel, please start a new thread. I started a new thread on Daniel a few hours ago. |

If a God exists, there is no doubt that he does not care whether or not people believe that he can predict the future. If he did, he would have made some indisputable prophecies that came true thousands of years ago. Either sugarhitman or arnoldo made an invalid argument something like that if God made lots of predictions, false prophets could somehow deceive people. I replied that no false prophet could predict when and where natural disasters would occur. By "when," I mean month day and year. God's refusal to make indisputable predictions is good evidence that he does not care whether or not people believe that he can predict the future, or that he does not exist. Providing better evidence could not possibly harm God or anyone else. In addition, God's refusal to provide better evidence limits the size of the Christian church.

I'll look forward to your responses to my questions. Then I'll give you an answer here. Otherwise, it just looks like a ploy by you to avoid the responsibility of answering what you've already been asked. spin |

" Moreover King Hiram was himself a builder. He enlarged the island portion of Tyre by filling in the shallower regions of the sea around, and this NEW LAND he laid out in squares of PALACES AND TEMPLES" www.publicbookshelf.com
"Originally Tyre was populated on the mainland.....When Hiram came to power (969-936) he brought massive changes....he joined the two islands together....He not only built the royal palace, but great temples to Melkart and Astarte." www.ancientworlds.net "The island itself is said to have been created by Hiram...Hiram linked the two Ambrosian isles to create his city..." www.timesonline.co.uk Hiram built island Tyre around the 10 century. Herodotus says that this city was founded at the same time the temple went up at 2750 B.C.? Which is ofcourse not correct because Hiram constructed this temple in the 10th century. If this is true then where was the original palace and temple? On the mainland. Island Tyre was an etension of PaleoTyrus, when the new city went up the old city still remained. This is the city Neby attacked and conquered. :wave: |

Why do so many fundies think that repetition will somehow make something true? Is it because this is how prayer works? Repeat something until you've brainwashed yourself... Quote:

BTW, any attempt to claim that (all of) Tyre was "on the mainland" is obviously nonsense, because Alexander later attacked TYRE by building a CAUSEWAY to reach it!

But we KNOW that this "bare spot" could NEVER have been more than a small part of Tyre.
Because we know where Tyre actually WAS. ...Or do you really think Alexander goofed and attacked the wrong target? |
