Prophecies are symbolic. They will be accurately fulfilled, but not literally

And nice as roulette prophesies are, (I predict 7 red will come up with absolutely no time constraints on when) unforunately your prophesies are predicting 666 to come up 7 times in a row, the dealer to spout 10 heads, the ceiling to drip blood and the deck of cards from the blackjack table to dance the can-can, and trying to say this will be accurately fulfilled by 7 red really sums how tenuous your sad sack beliefs in your childish fucking religion really are.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. This old saw again.
Prophecies are not to be taken literal, but they will be fulfilled. In that case, what is being fullfilled since the prophecy hasn't predicted the event but something similar, at least in the minds of the people who like stretching things up a bit, to the event.
<<< Well, this is better than trying to bullshit a prophecy into fullfillment, I guess. >>>
But the entire world being created over the course of a week and a talking snake being the reason we have to work for a living and a centuries-old man building a wooden boat that held every animal and was still seaworthy and a prophet setting bears on children for making fun of his baldness are all literal, right?
“Prophecies are symbolic. They will be accurately fulfilled, but not literally”
Okay, so in Ezekiel, when it says about Tyre: 21 I will make thee a terror, and thou shalt be no more: though thou be sought for, yet shalt thou never be found again, saith the Lord GOD.”
THe, in Mark, Jesus visits Tyre. Everyone knows where Tyre is. The borders of Tyre stand. The coast of Tyre is a destination.
24 And from thence he arose, and went into the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and entered into an house, and would have no man know it: but he could not be hid.
So, what in the name of fuck is symbolically destroying a city that no one will be able to find it, but later can still be found?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
