Hello I.Wonder I dont put much faith in bible prophecy. Its all subject to interpretaion and written or published after the fact. One time I studied the prophecies that pointed to jesus as the messiah, my conclusion was I was very dissapointed and my belief in the scriptures was adversely affected. I think many go on blind faith and dont take the time to study or look into the facts of the matter.
if a witness came to your door and tried to tell you that Bible prophecy is proof that it really is Gods words how would you counter their statement?
I would say I cant believe that you have read the bible cover to cover and that you have studied it and came to that conclusion, I would say I think you are repeating somebody elses opinion who has an agenda.
Henry Ford said thinking is the hardest thing for people to do. The Jw's refer to themselves as sheep which are considered one of the stupidest of animals?
I've been away from the org 23 years. During that time I have read the bible cover to cover 5 times I have made notes researched them on the net. After all that I find the bible to be vauge and ambiguous it seems to be everything that the bible propents claim it is not. It seems like a bunch of people who did not know each other wrote a lot of conflicting information.A small portion of this conflictinting information was grouped together under the supervision or administration of Constatine to unite his empire of pagans and christians in a time where they did not have computers and the masses did not have access and the ability or probably even the time to critically anylize the information.
My lifes mission is not to have everyone think as I. If someone wants to burn their daylight knocking on doors bothering their neighbors in this day and age, the information age with all the information on the internet exposing the errors of the bible all the while belonging to a fringe group of society, I guess the most I will do is post my dissagreement here for them to read at their leisure.
I know I have not specifically answered your question regarding bible prophecy I would tell a witness or any other fundamentalist christian to google the subject and study it at your leisure. I dont think there is a magic word or phrase to enlighten somebody. Each person has to work out his own way. Each person is responsible for what he lets into his mind, for what he lets control or direct his life.
