I don't even understand the whole concept of the bible
isn't it just a bunch of words that someone made up and wrote down??? could I decide that the Harry Potter books are the rules of a god?? wouldn't that be the same thing???

Another excellent question! I'm loving this. I'm sorry somebody got out of line last night.

One thing that makes the Bible different from any other book is that it foretells the future. There are many instances where prophecies were written hundreds or even thousands of years before events occurred, and they happened exactly as foretold. Daniel chapter 2 is a famous example. In the time of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, he had a dream he couldn't remember. After a day of prayer, Daniel was able to tell the king not only what he'd dreamed, but what it meant. It revealed the political and military history of the world to come after Nebuchadnezzar, down through the kungdoms of Medo-Persia, Greece, Rome, and Europe, and ending with the coming of Christ at the end of the world. All has happened just as foretold, except the final act. No one can foretell the future but a Superior Being.

My father and mother have had supernatural experiences and I think I have (I was a kid so I seriously don't know if it was or just an extremely overactive imagination

My mom has. She messed around with oujia board and had some experiences that can only be described as super natural (such as my grandpa, who only speaks english, speaking perfect Latin) Because it hasn't happened to me though, I'm on the fence.

I DO have a very weird family picture, with a funnel on the end. Kinda like it wanted to join the photo... could be dust, could be a funnel ghost

Those are uneducated christens who have no brain cells with no research within their own religion

Well couldn't that just be luck?

Its crazy to think somebody predicted something happening thousands of years before it happened, but I am still sceptical
