   From the way you and others claim that stories in the   
   Bible are no different from other random mythical   
   stories.

   Look at the way you're trying to distract away from   
   the point of my post.

   Nice try at distraction, but I'm not falling for   
   it.

   Why did you snip the Scriptures I posted? All you   
   have to do is look at the prophecies in the two   
   Old Testament books that I cited. It's all there.   
   It foretells the destruction of Israel (which was   
   begun by the Romans in 70 AD, and then finalized   
   in 135 AD when they scattered the remaining Jews   
   off their land).   
      
   The prophecies in those two Old Testament books   
   then foretell the way God would regather His   
   people, and bring them back to their land. That's   
   exactly what happened in 1948, when Israel was   
   reborn.   
      
   It's all in the Bible, and you can deny it all   
   you want. But it's there, whether you're blind   
   to it or not.
