Validate the following Tony:
In the New Testament alone, the prophesy fulfilled by my Lord Jesus is staggering, and
that was just in the last 24 hrs. of His life.
1.He would be betrayed by a friend (Ps. 55:12-14; 41:9)

3.The money would be use to buy a potter's field (Zec.11:13)
4.His disciple would forsake Him (Zec 13:7)

The odds against one man fulfilling all thirty of these prophecies is staggering: 1 chance
in 431,696,000
In His lifetime on earth there were a total of 300 of them. The odds against one man
doing this in one lifetime is:1 chance in 8x10to the power of 132, let me put it in zeroes
for you
1chance in 8x1,ooo,ooo,ooo,ooo,ooo,ooo,ooo,ooo,ooo,ooo,ooo,
ooo,ooo,ooo,ooo,ooo,ooo,ooo,ooo,ooo,ooo,ooo,
ooo,ooo,ooo,ooo,ooo,ooo,ooo,ooo,ooo,ooo,ooo,
ooo,ooo,ooo,ooo,ooo,ooo,ooo,ooo,ooo,ooo,ooo,
Astonishing but true! You have a computer, compute it!
And those prophecies were just of Jesus the Son of God. there are hundreds more, of
which to date more than 3/4 have been fulfilled.
There is no man in the world, (not even a zillion Jean Dixions) that could ever prophesy
and be a 100% accurate, EXCEPT GOD HIMSELF!
And please
don't tell me that I've had faith trained out of me.
It hadn't even occurred to me. But it is clear that somewhere along your journey you either lost it or gave it away.
Have you ever humbled yourself before the Lord"
That's supposed to be good?
Have you never tried it?
Who says I'm resisting him?
Your heart speaks volumes!
I just know that it's impossible to pick one religion as
'right' and others as 'wrong'. So I eagerly learn all I can about as many as I can.
Learning of all religions is not a bad thing Tony, but don't settle on any religion. Go back to you first love. Religion is not the answer. You already know the answer and you continue to resist the only God who you know to be the one true God, the God of your youth! He was the one that was always there for you, you counted on Him and you knew He loved you. But something happened along the way and you began to run from Him, and have been running ever since. Stop blaming Him Tony, it is not His fault. Don't be so hard on Him. He's always been there for you. It is you who stopped looking to Him. He has always loved you even when you stopped loving Him. He loves you now, still, and you know it! You feel His love all around you, yet you hide from Him because you believe for some reason He let you down, but in truth Tony it was you who let Him down, and even in spite of that He loves more than you know and awaits your return.
Humble yourself before Him and you will know once again that He was always there! He has been with you all the time. Even with your back turned to Him, He was always there, watching over you protecting and loving you. He was there while you were searching out other gods. He was there when you spoke other gods names. He was there when you sat by yourself and pondered within your heart those private concerns. He was there Tony when you needed Him the most, when you cried out for comfort...He was there!.....And Tony He is with you now. He has never left you. You left Him. He is waiting Tony with open arms. Return to Him and His loving comfort. He is your Father and loves you more than you give Him credit for.
Tony I don't have to prove anything to you....You already know. The truth is within your heart, open it again, and know the joy of being home, where you belong. Where you've always wanted to be. You know He loves you and you too know that He is patiently waiting for your return. ...O How He Loves you Tony!
And you can Validate that very easily.
Shalom...><>
Luke 15:20
20 And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.
BTW Tony, hpeace was correct....there are no inaccuracies in the Bible...only in the mind of some men.
