Ah the extreme bias and closed mind is apparent when you call them shallow. I am not saying that I believe in them, but many millions do, and they are certainly not shallow.

Since you know so much about the world's religions maybe you could give me a list of the major prophecies that have come from those religions. Like for instance the regathering of Israel in 1947 was predicted in scripture. Can you give me some prophecies from the others? If they are not bold enough to write down the future and stake their own existence on the line I would also have to call those religions shallow. Please give us all the wisdom you possess.

He ignorantly called these other religions shallow which was dumb and ignorant in an extreme way. Your questions are not relevant to how you want to interpret your beliefs. Are you just as ignorant to think these religions, some older then Christianity are shallow?

You guys are losing any credibility you might have had. Are you seriously going to call other religion shallow? Maybe dg you could define what you mean by shallow since I can't see how it could apply to these religions if we go by the dictionaryhttp://dictionary.reference.com/browse/shallow

Themis, I checked out your link and did not see a single prophecy from another religion.

All kidding aside, I really would like to learn of prophecies which other religions have made; regardless of whether they have been fulfilled or not. It is obvious that both Frank and DG have assigned Prophecy as a distinguishing feature in religions they would not call shallow. I would be very interested in learning if any other religions include prophecies. This is a subject I have not considered before.

Thanks,

jo

How does not prophesying, which in Christianity is so vague you can interpret them anyway you want have to do with being shallow.

Here's a few (did a Google):

http://www.alislam.org/library/articles/prophecies.html

http://bci.org/prophecy-fulfilled/nativeam.htm

There is an endless list. Just do some Googling.
This, or any other post that I have made or will make in the future, is strictly my own opinion and consequently of little or no value.
