Name the things.
Mark 9:1 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power. ---I suspect everyone alive at the time of Christ has died.
Genesis 48:21 And Israel said unto Joseph, Behold, I die: but God shall be with you, and bring you again unto the land of your fathers. ----Joseph died in Egypt, he never returned to Isreal. Joseph's death as noted in Genesis 50:26 So Joseph died, being an hundred and ten years old: and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.

Like what? Christ performed no new miracles, there were others who worshiped other gods performing miracles. The Flood? There are many, many cultures with flood myths. All with a hero who builds a boat and saves the local critters.
End of the world coming up? Ragnarok says the world will end and be reformed as well.
Followup: Twin Towers? Go read Nostradamus then. Some say he predicted the same thing.

Man I really do have a problem with religious ignorance, If you were to take the time to study the bible, and research the scriptures that were put into the bible you wouldn't be so fast to make judgement of others, as a catholic I have studied the bible and theology, and none of what you say comes to pass from the bible, it's simply your interpretation of what it might mean, there is nothing in the bible that cannot be explained, religion simply makes up their own interpretation of it, and people buy it even when it's not true.

i'm not athiest.i believe in god.i do know what you're talking about.there's a lot of terrible things going on in the world.
its scary.the way the world has become.i wish it werent so difficult.my struggles to keep it together,while i'm breaking apart inside,just get more worse.it seems that nobody can get along with anyone anymore.people are hurting,and people are hurting other people.if we could just try to live in peace,try to get along,maybe things could get better.but theres too many people who dont want peace.some people arent happy,unless they're doing or saying something to hurt someone else.
its sad.and it makes the world seem like a frightening and lonely place.we just have too many differences.and that causes division and animosity and hurt feelings between us.
i wish it werent this way.but,unfortunately,it is.the bible talks about this.a lack of love,because of the evil in the world.people hurting other people and people being depressed.its almost like,people just cant get along.our differences put up barriers between us.and theres that fear of getting hurt.so we prepare to defend ourselves,by hurting other people,before they can hurt us.
i'm not athiest.but to be honest,sometimes i feel l may be agnostic.i do believe in god.i just wonder if hes abandoned us.because of what a lonely,miserable world we live in.it really tears me up inside,how cold and unfeeling the human heart can be.such hatred and hostility.such bitterness and cruelty.such lack of remorse for our actions towards others.such proud and arrogant hearts.
yes,prophecies have been fulfilled.i dont doubt that.maybe we're living in the days of revelation now.it sure seems like it.at least,in my opinion.

Because that couldn't possibly be talking about the towers of babylon when that empire was destroyed, or any other tower that ever fell. What about the Khobar Towers?

Ah, you mean the things the Bible said would come to pass and then said they came to pass; fulfilling it's own prophecies? Or the things the Bible said would come to pass that are so broad as to be applicable to not just a single event??

Like what?
EDIT
How do you know that is about the Twin Towers? Are you saying that there have NEVER IN HISTORY been towers that fell? Not much of a prediction if you ask me.

Nostradamus predicted far more things than the bible ever did. People talk about what the bible predicted, but please list a few and then prove to me that the portion of the bible describing that was not written after the fact.

The bible does have a list of prophecies relating to the ''last days'' and some of them have happened but....all of them have happened many times before. There is nothing new that I have heard of. I would like to know what they are.

Many of us who identify as atheists, non-theists, free thinkers, or secular humanists have studied long and hard the evidence for the existence of any sort of deity and found it lacking.
We do not believe these things however many of us respect the right of others to believe as they wish.
Best to you!
