Hey does anyone know of a list with prophecies from the Old and New Testament that have not been fulfilled yet? Thanks
"The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands." (Psalm 19:1)

I know of NO CREDIBLE historian that doubts that Jesus Christ existed.So actually my only question for the faith is if Jesus ever existed to be honest.
Here is one particular one...winningedge101 wrote:Hey does anyone know of a list with prophecies from the Old and New Testament that have not been fulfilled yet? Thanks
Hey winningwinningedge101 wrote:I know....it's just such a big leap of faith. Do I want to spend the rest of my life believing a Jewish man was crucified and resurrected? Nothing has ever happened before like that in history....nothing. I don't know any supernatural. I've never seen miracles or a dead man rising for any matter. Am I really ready to risk my life on Jesus of Nazareth? No not really, I'm not ready yet. It's too big of a risk, especially when I've got just about every other Abrahamic religion telling me I'm going to hell If I'm wrong.

What "every other Abrahamic religions" are you referring to?
There are only 3:
Christianity
Judaism
Islam
The only one that condemns people to hell if they don't believe AND submit is Islam.
Judaism, like Christianity, states that unbelievers will be judged by their actions.
Judaism doesn't even believe in "salvation" per say.
24 “Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life. 25 Very truly I tell you, a time is coming and has now come when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who hear will live. 26 For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself. 27 And he has given him authority to judge because he is the Son of Man.
28 “Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice 29 and come out—those who have done what is good will rise to live, and those who have done what is evil will rise to be condemned.
Note what Jesus says:The Sheep and the Goats
31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. 32 All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.
34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’
37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’
40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’
44 “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’
45 “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’
46 “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”
And who are Jesus' brothers and sisters?40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
We have seen over and over here, just to name one place, people rejecting Christ because the Christ that THEY have been told is not Christ. The Christ that they believe in and reject is not THE Christ.“Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life
Reading that one can ( and some have) concluded that all the dead will be judged and saved based on their works:The Judgment of the Dead
11 Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. The earth and the heavens fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. 13 The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what they had done. 14 Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. 15 Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.
Now, we know that we are NOT saved according to our works, yes?The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. 13 The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what they had done.
Tell me how the underlined, is not being saved by works.PaulS wrote:
We also know that, according to Matthew, there will be those that are judged based on what they have done and how they have treated the "brothers and sisters" of Christ.
Those who did good without even knowing they did, will be saved and those that did bad, even not knowing to whom they did it ( though they knew they were NOT doing good), will perish.
No, they will not be saved FROM judgement.RickD wrote:It's not scriptural.

Those who did good, even though they didn't trust in Christ, will be saved?
And those that did not:‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’
41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’
