PROPHECY FAILS! TIMES TWO!

Good. I guess the second alleged failed prophecy proves that zekey was written in the 5th BC and that zekey didn't revise his alleged mistake about Tyre and instead tried to fix it by writing the "do-over" prophecy about Egypt (which he also failed to revise after it was an alleged <non-event>).

I already answered this. As usual, you can't read for comprehension.

Dating Ezekiel was never part of my argument. You have me confused with someone else.

Of course dating Ezekiel is part of your argument. Otherwise you wouldn't be constantly posting < prophecy fails :rolling:> every other post. A prophecy is something written about an event that will happen in the future. Thus if you claim prophecy fails you are arguing that Ezekiel was written before the event it failed to predict occurred. Get it? :huh:

Which parts of the prophecy did the Jews believe were errors that needed editing?

Why did you only comment on possible revisions? I also asked you what evidence you have that the prophecy was written before the events. Please answer the question. There is no need to discuss any supposed prophecy unless it can first reasonably be established that it was written before the events.

If a God exists, and wanted to convince people to believe that he can predict the future, he could easily telephathically give the same prophecy to everyone in the world, thereby discouraging dissent instead of needlessly inviting dissent. In such a case, lots of valuable time could be saved regarding debates about prophecy.

No, it isn't. You're confusing Johnny Skeptic's claims about editing and after-the-fact writing with my argument.
