Theland, //Are you really questioning my integrity?//
Yes, I am because accepting ‘God’s will’ without question isn’t rational. No one, God (if he exists) included, should be exempt from justified criticism. The holocaust, according to you, was part of his plan to return the Jews to Israel, but I have to ask why an all-powerful super-being would need such a horrifying tool - or any tool at all - in order to fulfil his promises? Perhaps you should ask yourself the same question. Nothing, absolutely nothing, can ever justify the horrors of the holocaust.

One doesn't have to find deviations when only those predictions that just happen by chance to seem to come true, are considered.
Any chance of this, "It's God, not it's not, yes it is", usual discussion being knocked on the head and there being further sensible suggestions to try to answer the OP ? (Perhaps the mention of some RC saint in the OP ensured it'd descend into the usual squabble" :-( )

holocaust, He plays His games, we play ours! To show our appreciation for so much power, we keep Heaven packed with fresh souls! good quote...if your insane, the god of the bible...quote
Harry Lime : You know, I never feel comfortable on these sort of things. Victims? Don't be melodramatic. Look down there. Tell me. Would you really feel any pity if one of those dots stopped moving forever? If I offered you twenty thousand pounds for every dot that stopped, would you really, old man, tell me to keep my money, or would you calculate how many dots you could afford to spare? Free of income tax, old man. Free of income tax - the only way you can save money nowadays.

Theland - // Andy no need to use that tone. //
I am not using any 'tone' and I don't need a lesson from anyone who patronises people because he thinks they are less educated.
// Just tell me where the prophecy and the history deviate?
Apparently, Naomi can't. //
You are confusing me with someone who cares - please check back to the first response on this thread.

To save everyone the tedium of doing so, his response was;
"Don't know
Don't know
Don't care."
Doesn't that just about sum you up; ignorant & uncaring ? Actually one of the great mysteries is how on earth you were charged with being a mod.
