Originally posted by DarfiusI listen; sometimes it's good for a laugh. Perhaps you'd like to prove your assertion that I was lying about Alexander the Great not being considered the King of Greece in the face of the sites and sources I have given.
I'd be more than willing to undergoe psychological testing to disprove your theory that I am in any way mentally unstable.
Then it would become necessary for you to listen to what I have to say.

The Vatican isn't ruling the world. Daniel said the final empire would be iron mixed with clay, right? Rome was the iron. When it dissipated and the Vatican took up the charge, it went on pause for being a world empire until it rises again in the last days. The 10 toes will be a body with 10 kings or rulers of 10 sections of the world. The EU will likely be the embodiment.

If and when you accept Him, Thousand, your eyes will open to what you've missed all along. Interpret the Bible with the Bible.

a testament to the degree to which you are willing to suspend all reason and
rationale to believe what you want.
Nostradamus made better predicitions than an empire of 'iron mixed with clay.'
They were all equally (non-)inspired.
Have you made any sandwiches for homeless people this week, Darfius?

And no, I haven't made a sandwhich for the homeless this week, what is your point? Are you judging me, Nemesio?

Did you visit the sick and imprisoned?
Did you give clothes to the naked?
If you didn't, why are you posting your theological wash here and not doing
these things. I'm sick of hearing your empty claims of being a Christian. I
really am.
'But, Nemesio, I fast twice a week, and I pay tithes on my whole income.'
Good for you, Darfius.

Is no1 throwing in his no2 debating trick ? ...... 😀
If he is tired of accusing his opponent of being a liar, he switches to the accusation of "being mentally unstable" ....... 🙄
How are things, No1 ?

Do you find this statement and the asssertion that it is one of the "100%" accurate predictions made by Daniel to be the product of a rational mind, Ivanhoe?
Originally posted by sasquatch672Sounds a lot like the Theory of Evolution 😉
So this guy Daniel predicted that someone, somewhere, would rise up one day and rule a group of people?
Proof for the theory that if you make your prediction general enough so that it's bound to happen and not specific enough to ever be verified, you will find pliable minds that will perform any sort of gymnastics to find the circumstances that fulfill that prophecy. It's a can't-lose proposition.

First of all, where does it say Alexander is FROM Greece? It clearly says the king OF Greece (which is what he was).
Let's see what Cyrus the Great thought about this Median/Persian empire:
The emergence of Iranian civilization
Towards the end of the 7th century BC, the Medians had subdued great parts of Iran, including the entire west. Tribes s ...[text shortened]... layed out centuries beforehand.
