DragonFly, quite honestly I think that is complete BS. You can pick 2 dozen points in history and apply those things...
I am sure we can learn to disagree without killing each other Jayhawkk
..and I could send you a lengthy document (only if you are interested
) that shows how accurate biblical prophecies are....when one takes time to do the research
I dont speak for all but for me yes the bible is my manuel for living and life. Its is very prophetic and tells of events that have happend and that are to come. Now most that dont agree or belive in the Holy Bible will say those prophecies can apply to so many diffrent situations but people will twist and manipulate the bible to say what they want. Just like a rapist that says that she wanted it, in his mind he realy belive that but the oter party see's it in a different light.
Including the Catholic Church. They gave Christ a bad name. Not only does the pope call himself Holy (there is only One Holy and it is God!!!!!), but they are also the richest church in the world...they must have closed their eyes on this part of the scripture:
1John3
16This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers. 17If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him? 18Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth
People choose not to look at the truth because they cant belive that everything they belived in or thought was real was a total lie. They choose to belive the lie because its much harder to cope with accepting the truth rather it be religon or a corrupt world system. when the average person with no hope or anything to belive in besides there job, money and way of life looses it all they look at there goverment or presednt to take car of them, this is the reasonthe economy is where it is. The federal reserve planed this and allowed it to happen so that they could seize control of all the major banks and in the future combine it into one world bank
2 Peter 2
12But these men blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like brute beasts, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught and destroyed, and like beasts they too will perish.
13They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done. Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.[e] 14With eyes full of adultery, they never stop sinning; they seduce the unstable; they are experts in greed—an accursed brood! 15They have left the straight way and wandered off to follow the way of Balaam son of Beor, who loved the wages of wickedness. 16But he was rebuked for his wrongdoing by a donkey—a beast without speech—who spoke with a man's voice and restrained the prophet's madness.
17These men are springs without water and mists driven by a storm. Blackest darkness is reserved for them. 18For they mouth empty, boastful words and, by appealing to the lustful desires of sinful human nature, they entice people who are just escaping from those who live in error. 19They promise them freedom, while they themselves are slaves of depravity—for a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him. 20If they have escaped the corruption of the world by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and are again entangled in it and overcome, they are worse off at the end than they were at the beginning. 21It would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than to have known it and then to turn their backs on the sacred command that was passed on to them. 22Of them the proverbs are true: "A dog returns to its vomit,"[f]and, "A sow that is washed goes back to her wallowing in the mud."
There are many ways by which the government can brainwash and manipulate people who choose to believe convenient lies rather than the inconvenient truth. They've been doing it for a long time:

2 Thessalonians 2
7For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way. 8And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming. 9The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with the work of Satan displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders, 10and in every sort of evil that deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie 12and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness

I choose to trust in God.
John 3:16
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life
Romans 8
31What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? 33Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. 34Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus, who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. 35Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? 36As it is written:
"For your sake we face death all day long;
we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered." 37No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
