I thought the fulfilled prophecies were part of the strength of the Christian religion?

You don't need a Christian before reading the bible. You need the wisdom that comes from the Holy Spirit to interpret what you're reading. To the unsaved, the bible is written in a different language!

The Author of the Bible does, indeed, want you to understand his Word! However, the fact remains that many sincere people find this book difficult to comprehend. What can help? The articles that follow outline three suggestions that can help you to understand the Bible...

I dont know what prophecies you are referring to. Some were fulfilled in the Old Testament and some in the New. Many of course are unfulfilled as we speak.

By all means you owe it to yourself to discover the truth before becoming involved in anything and the Bible as you are probably aware instructs us to do this. May God bless you in your study and may you discover His love.

you'll have to be more specific. there are like 300 prophetic references to christ. some obvious, others more ... hmm hard to find the right word ... figurative, foreshadowing sort of.

many bibles have the cross references in the margin so you can look it up.

Right then. Im not sure I understand.

I never really read the Bible, I am Christian but Im sorry, I dont read the scriptures.

Remember, things might have gotten mixed up in the writing stage. Before this it was all oral, so it would have gotten changed in attempts to sensationalise and pretend they didnt forget it.

Even if you say fulfilled prophecy's, the only evidence for that is the bible itself. Using the bible as evidence for the credibility of the bible is kinda meh.

Almost, but you should close your mind to reality before reading! tg

No you're not, and stop thinking, dammit!
