What percentage of credibility does christianity lose with each false doomsday prophecy?

None at all? 5%? 20%


Tell me what you think.......





And 2000 years with no news whatsoever.....isn't that somewhat of a hint??.............What percentage of credibility does christianity lose with each false doomsday prophecy?
hahahahah


hahahahahahaaaaaa


that is sooo right!


hmmm, to answer that, id have to weigh up the percentage of atheists there are out there...or ';ex-followers'; maybe?


its about time atheists bgin askin the questions, im sick of answering questions like


';Are atheists the most uncivilised people in the world?';


and


';Atheists: how can you not believe the facts of the bible?';





this is soooo much better!What percentage of credibility does christianity lose with each false doomsday prophecy?
Unfortunately, none whatsoever. You're thinking of science, where when results don't fit the hypothesis and you have to conclude that the experiment failed. With religion, you just dismiss the result and pretend that the original hypothesis never existed.
The question and 'most' of the answers were actually predicted in the scriptures!:





2 Peter 3:4





They will say, ';Where is this 'coming' he promised? Ever since our ancestors died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation.'; (NIV)
There have never been any born-again Christians who prophesied doomsday. What we need to know about the end of days is in Revelation.





Therefore, NO percentage of credibility has been lost, other than for those who didn't believe to begin with and are only looking for things to attack.





God bless!
I think it loses more of its credibility from all of these false christians who are nothing but hatemonger and hypocrites.


i.e.


George W. Bush


Pat Robertson


Jerry Falwell
Hard to say. I mean, it only has a very small amount of credibility LEFT to lose...
well yea to me I think it's stupid that they guess it


the bible says (in red letters)





Matthew 25:13 - watch therefore for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh
None at all. It isn't the prophecy that's false, just the predictions of its imminent fulfillment.
None whatsoever.If someone gives a prophecy and it does not come to pass then they are a false prophet and not a prophet of God.
Hopefully none, since the bible says that no man knows the day the world will end except for God. It even goes so far as to say that anyone who claims to know is lying and we shouldn't believe them.
none , it gains (for obscure reasoning) ...... BUT , if you re-read allanb`s answer a couple of times , you start to think that all of Christianity is a `false` prophet...??? or is it simply me? or does it just come across as that , merely by the wording?????





because isn`t it the Christians doing the ';PROPHECISING';?
I don't think many people stop believing because of false prophecies alone, they find some way to justify them. False prophecies are a small part of everything that's wrong with religion, and it's this combination of stuff that make us stop believing. Mostly false prohpecies serve to confirm to non-believers what a load of crap it is.
no doomsday date predicted by Christians that munkee aware of. you have one example? just one? no?
None at all, becuase before anyone actually predicted, is wrong to begin with, for the Bible says no one knows. But the doomsday will come one day.





Regarding your last statement, the Bible does give a hint to it. This is in 2 Peter 3: 3-7, again does not as a surprise to me.
Depends on the person. For some, it's 0% (or negative percent, maybe).





For others....Well, let's say that Christianity's credibility in my eyes is somewhere...around zero.





On a scale of zero to a hundred, I'd give the Bible...a two point four.
If you truley KNOW Scripture, you wouldn't GIVE dates, because Jesus said:





Acts 1:7 (New International Version)





7He said to them: ';It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority.
80%.





There is a statistic that goes: 80% of Christians after graduating from high school will leave their Faith.
2 Peter 3:3-4, 9





3Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,





4And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. .....





9The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
