Are you asking which prophecies haven't come true yet or have proven to be false? Ones that haven't come true yet off the top of my head, the rapture, apocalypse, 2nd coming of Jesus. No idea about ones that have proven to be false, since these things are so vaguely worded I am sure you can argue either way about almost any of them.

Basically, we're arguing about whether or not the world is going to end soon...I"m saying no, but she says it will because of a prophecy...and I said not all prophecies have come true.

Go tell her you're a schmuck who doesn't know what you're actually talking about. Just BS'ing and then running to an internet forum to try and prove her wrong.

The scroll that was destroyed in Da Vinci Code stated that a prophet by the name of BlancoNino was going to change ATOT.

Are you suggesting I tell her the truth?

So you're arguing a point of view for which you have no knowledge?

Fvck that. Tell her that while America was supposed to be the promise land, it has become the Great Satan. Just look at all the SIN!

Well the question is what do you consider to be a prophet? Do you consider the pope to be a "prophet"? considering that a high part of christianity doesn't recognize it.

The argument could also be made that "they just havnt happened yet"

Wow.


The world has been said to end "soon" since humans first dreamt up religions that said the world could end in some grand apocalypse. It was supposed to end in the time of the Aztecs, in the time of the Incas.

Other fun things: the world was supposed to end when the year changed to 2000. Question was, would it do it by time zone? Would Earth begin vanishing in discrete slices? Why should those deities in charge of the end care about our time zones? If not, what time is it, really?

The world will end. 5 billion years from now, when the sun goes supergiant. Or rather, it'll be well-baked. It'll still be here, but just as a cold round rock, orbiting a white dwarf star, inside of a planetary nebula.



And finally, Google, dammit!

Micah 5:5 - And this man shall be the peace, when the Assyrian shall come into our land: and when he shall tread in our palaces, then shall we raise against him seven shepherds, and eight principal men.
Micah 5:6 ? And they shall waste the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod in the entrances thereof: thus shall he deliver us from the Assyrian, when he cometh into our land, and when he treadeth within our borders.




Jesus never wasted the land of Assyria with a sword.

Actually, The Sword was just a really good nightclub in Assyria, where Jesus really wanted to get wasted. When he was talking about Nimrod and being delivered from the Assyrian, he was talking about the nimrod bouncer throwing him out.
