Re: The Star: Common Occurrences Together Become Rare

Pentecost was when the Holy Spirit was sent by the ascended Christ to empower them. The first sign of the empowerment was Peter's bold speech to the crowd. In any case they knew their Messiah was God and King at that point and went out preaching it, whereas before they had been holed up in private for fear of the Jews.
There you go making stuff up again. Faith, many of us have actually read the Bible. There is nothing in the Pentecost story about Jesus being a King nor did they go out and preach that Jesus was a king.

There isn't one thing in the entire Bible that has failed, and as for Revelation we understand most of it to describe the Day of the Lord (also known as The Great Tribulation) which is mentioned a number of times in the OT, when God's wrath will come upon the whole Earth. That hasn't happened yet.
There you go making really silly claims Faith; claims that are refuted by your own words. If it ain't happened yet then it is still failed prophecy.
It really is that simple Faith no matter how often you pretend it is otherwise.

Re: The Star: The Woman of Revelation 12 as Virgo
Faith writes:
Oh good grief. The reality of the star positions doesn't change the fact that the patterns are treated as objectively there and can be referred to as identifiable entities. It's an optical illusion but who cares. Virgo is still Virgo to the naked eye.
Sigh.
Only when viewed through eyes that are biased to Western Greek & Roman mythology. Virgo the constellation is as much a myth as Virgo the Goddess just as Revelation is only an apocryphal fable about what was expected to happen and did not happen over a thousand years ago.
Jesus failed to fulfill the Jewish Messianic prophecies because Jesus is not and never will be the Jewish Messiah.
Just as Jesus was never a Christian.
It really is that simple.

Millions upon millions know that John is a real person who wrote Revelation and four other books of the Bible.
While there may be millions upon millions of people who believe that is true there is not even one that actually knows it is true and all of the evidence is that it is certainly not true.
The only part of that statement of your that is true is that it is likely the author of Revelation was a real person.
