Did the bible predict that the Arabs would be out of control?

To all the ignorant people out there, evolution and religion CAN co-exist, in fact, many priests/pastors/whatever ACCEPT the theory of evolution without a problem. It is only the ignorant religious people that say the two cannot co-exist.

The bible is full of metaphors, not everything should be taken into text, some people are complaing saying, how the hell did I come from dirt, or how is someone supposed to walk on water. Maybe if you thought about it for a second, you will understand the meaning.

I guess the religious wackos and atheist nutjobs ruin it for the rest of us and make us all look bad in the end.

Same with the big bang theory, which was first espoused by a catholic priest.

I just studied this passage in-depth 2 weeks ago. To answer the question of the OP, the Bible says in that Genesis does say that the Arabs (descendants of Ishmael) would be "wild" in the sense that they would be fighting against many nations and peoples, and that many nations and peoples would be fighting against them. And it's true, as countless wars and violence has been committed by (and against) them over centuries. This, while it is very interesting prophecy, is not the limit of the prophecies (in the future sense of the word) that have been fulfilled, and will be fulfilled in the future.

Well, that's just crazy. Sure,, the Middle East has been at war with many over the course of History, but so have Asians and Africans and Americans(Western Hemisphere) and Europeans. There's nothing unique to the Middle Eastern History in that regard.

It's not just war. This passage describes their very personality as a people.
They are as stubborn as Americans are arrogant.

That's a meaningless statement. Especially compared to a group like the Jewish people who despite bbeing scattered across the World kept up their Ancient Culture. That aside though, onne could say the same things about any group anywhere in the World.

You need to remember this -
-The "Bible" is "Jewish and Christian Propaganda"

it *predicts* an outcome based on the views of the descendants of Abraham - through Isaac - and his relationship with their god - Yahweh

BtW, Yahweh - "God of the Jews" is Jesus Own Father [his name was Michael pre-earth] according to scripture - and the "Other Great Competing God" are half-brothers; or conflicting views of the same God ... but the Arabs would be most offended by even the thought of it - as they say there is "One" and their father is Ishmael True Son of Abraham and Mohamed is his True Prophet .. and yet the Jews cry there is "One Yahweh" and Christians scream "He is three" - even though Arabs and Jews are both descended from Abraham through different Wives and Jesus was a Jew that gave the Promise to Outsiders.

So Jews, Arabs and Christians are all cousins and were all promised => "The Promised Land" by their "GOD" [same one; different vision] - When THEY finally figure out how to ALL co-exist peacefully [Christian/Jew/Muslim; then Yahweh/Allah/Jesus's Will is Done and the Earth will be returned to Paradise; if not, Har-mageddon and YHWH will make everything "new - and the former things will not be called into mind any more"

Actually, Michael and Lucifer are Twin brothers.
--This is all according to the Oldest Word which predates the Old Testament

so it is a family affair

Do you want to base your life on predictions from 5,000 to 2,000 years ago that are subject to interpretation 3 ways?

That is mormon doctrine and is not found in the Bible.

Actually, that's not Mormon doctrine either. I'm not sure where that comes from.

I'm sorry, spirit brothers.
