I am late to this thread so I may reference a few eearlier posts….
Benignuman,
On your 3 points above:
1) Tanach is full of prophecies. How would you possibly be able to account for all of of them to verify their legitimacy? So the ones that didnt prove to be true, you would say they just haven’t occurred YET. Also, as Lakewood001 pointed out, these prophesies are sufficiently vague that you can apply them to whatever you want to. (Think of the 70 year exile that was foretold would be after the destruction of bayis Rishon. Mental gymnastics by everyone to decide when the 70 years actually started. By my logic, 70 years is 70 years.) If there was a prophecy that foretold that, if the Jews don’t remain true to God, then on Sept 1, 1939 a war to end all wars will begin and 6 million Jews will systematically be terminated over the next 6 years and 3 years later the Zionists will retake the land of Israel, I’ll buy it. Not vague statements.
2) As you seem to agree yourself, para aduma is not much of an argument.
3) See my post on the frum thread to that thought. There are 900 million Hindus, 300 million Buddhists, 220 million Chinese Traditionalists, as well as many other religions. Is it any more like that THEY were the ones who were fooled? Couldn’t have been US, only THEYwere fooled. Weak argument.
