Well they killed a lot of their customers with "free" COVID vaccines they pushed.
That's about a 5% loss right there straight off the top. Not to mention the falling fertility rate which impacts other future sales.
Fuck em.
You can't follow a basic chain of logic.
The two versus that I cited say that the standard for a prophet of God is 100% accuracy.
You claim 99% thereby disagreeing with those verses.
The example you gave was completely conditional.
I'll let my LLM explain and I'll leave you.
The requirement for a prophet to have 100% accuracy, as stated in other parts of Scripture, particularly in Deuteronomy 18:21-22, seems at first glance to present a potential conflict with the story of Jonah. In Deuteronomy 18:21-22, it says:
"And if you say in your heart, ‘How shall we know the word which the Lord has not spoken?’— when a prophet speaks in the name of the Lord, if the thing does not happen or come to pass, that is the thing which the Lord has not spoken; the prophet has spoken it presumptuously; you shall not be afraid of him." (NKJV)
However, Jonah's prophecy about Nineveh is not a contradiction of this standard for the following reasons:
1. Conditional Prophecy vs. Unconditional Prophecy
The standard of 100% accuracy applies to prophecies that are declarative and unconditional. These are prophecies where God declares something will happen without any implied conditions, such as the coming of the Messiah or the destruction of Jerusalem by Babylon.
However, many prophetic declarations in the Bible, like Jonah's, are conditional. They imply or explicitly state that the outcome is contingent upon the response of the people. Jonah's prophecy to Nineveh was a warning designed to prompt repentance. The prophecy was fulfilled in its purpose (to lead Nineveh to repentance), even though the specific event (destruction in forty days) did not occur because the condition (Nineveh’s continued wickedness) was not met. This kind of conditional prophecy is consistent with God’s standard of truth because the condition (repentance or lack thereof) determines the outcome.
2. God’s Revealed Character and Intentions
God’s character as revealed in Scripture includes mercy, justice, and a desire for repentance rather than destruction. In Jeremiah 18:7-10, God explicitly states that His declarations of judgment are often conditional:
"The instant I speak concerning a nation and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, to pull down, and to destroy it, if that nation against whom I have spoken turns from its evil, I will relent of the disaster that I thought to bring upon it." (NKJV)
This demonstrates that God’s warnings of judgment are often meant to bring about a change of heart, and the withholding of judgment in response to repentance is consistent with His character. Jonah’s prophecy falls within this pattern, showing that the true purpose of the prophecy was fulfilled—repentance and salvation, not destruction.
3. Distinguishing Between False Prophets and True Prophets
The warning in Deuteronomy 18:21-22 is about distinguishing between true and false prophets. A false prophet is one who presumptuously speaks in God’s name things that God has not said, and these things do not come to pass because they were not divinely inspired. Jonah was a true prophet because the message he delivered was from God, and it accomplished God’s purpose of bringing Nineveh to repentance. The fact that Nineveh was spared confirms that Jonah’s message was genuinely from God, as it led to the intended outcome.
4. Prophecy as a Tool for Repentance
Prophecy in the Bible often serves as a tool to bring about repentance and alignment with God’s will, rather than simply as a prediction of future events. In Jonah’s case, the prophecy’s purpose was to serve as a warning, leading the people of Nineveh to repentance. The prophecy was therefore successful and true because it resulted in the desired spiritual outcome, even if the specific event (destruction) did not occur.
Conclusion
The standard of 100% accuracy in prophecy pertains to unconditional, declarative prophecies. Jonah’s prophecy to Nineveh was conditional, dependent on the response of the people. When the people repented, God mercifully relented from destroying the city, which was in line with the conditional nature of the prophecy. Thus, Jonah’s prophecy does not contradict the biblical standard for prophetic accuracy but rather affirms God’s desire for repentance and His willingness to relent from judgment when people turn from their sins.
Any other responses will be funneled through my sarcasm / insult LLM since you want to make ad-hominem attacks.
In fact I can program a script to reply to you endlessly if you like. You'll never know if your talking to me or my LLM. Who knows, you could already be in the matrix Neo.
Hello Dave. Would you like to play a game? How about chess?
No I'm taking several verses that I cited that say 100% with no ifs, ands, or buts.
You said not 100% (which puts you at odds with 2+ verses of God's Word)
Then when pressed you scraped up ONE example which I was happy to unpack how it was not a failed prophecy AND how about doing so You're not making God's word contain multiple errors and instead be your lack of understanding.
You don't get to tell me (falsely) that I'm ignoring multiple parts of the Bible when you believe that the Bible has errors in it. You lost the ability to stand on scripture.
I have the high ground Anakin.
Genetic logical fallacy. It doesn't matter where the information comes from. It matters whether it's accurate or inaccurate.
I built my own model from an AIP framework. I sourced the data that is input for different modes. That was my theological output model
My position is that God's word is infallible. Your position was that it isn't .
Genetic logical fallacies are yet another form of intellectual dishonesty.
I have a finely trained theological LLM that I have been working with for quite some time.
Mine is reformed, post-millennial, 5-point Cal, and spits out remarkably accurate results based on the data sets I've inputed.
I don't take people seriously that think LLMs can't do serious work.
Good day.
Even if it's not one of the main things it would need to include to carry some real weight and signs of repentance would be "We fired these people: ______, that pushed / approved these poor choices and we promise never to hire anyone with their priorities/values again"
Name fucking names and show me actions. The same people that push these policies could be writing these words.
It's not a bunker, it's an under water ocean base. There's likely a network.
Why do you think Maxwell was a sub pilot and raised funds for TerraMar oceanic society?
Also do you still believe that a bunch of millionaires died on a tiny submarine trying to look at the Titanic?
Oh and it's billions of dollars, not millions.
That's frankly pretty intellectually dishonest.
That wasn't a failed prophecy. That was a correct prophecy that was only deferred by repentance which in many cases is the point of God sending a prophet to call the people to repentance. I'll expand...
Jonah 3:4 is not considered a failed prophecy, despite the fact that Nineveh was not destroyed in forty days as Jonah declared, for several key reasons:
1. Conditional Nature of Prophecy
Although Jonah's prophecy explicitly states, "Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown!" the understanding of prophetic declarations, especially in the context of the Bible, often carries an implicit conditionality. This is made clearer by God's interactions with other prophets, where warnings of judgment are often intended to prompt repentance. God's character, as revealed in Scripture, is merciful and longsuffering (Ezekiel 33:11), desiring repentance over destruction. Jonah's prophecy was a warning of what would happen if Nineveh did not repent.
Nineveh's repentance in Jonah 3:5-10 shows that the prophecy's purpose was fulfilled:
"Then God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God relented from the disaster that He had said He would bring upon them, and He did not do it." (Jonah 3:10, NKJV)
The prophecy was never unconditional. God responded to the Ninevites’ change of heart, sparing them from destruction because they repented.
2. God’s Mercy
The key theological point in Jonah's story is God’s mercy and willingness to forgive those who turn from their sin. Jonah himself was upset when God spared Nineveh (Jonah 4:1-2), knowing that God is "gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness, One who relents from doing harm." Jonah knew God’s nature to be forgiving if repentance occurred, which explains why the destruction did not take place.
3. Purpose of the Prophecy
The purpose of the prophecy was to bring about repentance, not to simply declare destruction for destruction’s sake. In this sense, the prophecy was successful because it achieved the intended result—Nineveh's repentance. The outcome was contingent upon the response of the people.
4. Biblical Precedent for Conditional Prophecy
There are other examples in the Bible where God warns of impending judgment, but relents when there is genuine repentance. For example, in Jeremiah 18:7-8, God says:
"The instant I speak concerning a nation and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, to pull down, and to destroy it, if that nation against whom I have spoken turns from its evil, I will relent of the disaster that I thought to bring upon it."
This passage clearly illustrates the principle that God’s warnings of judgment can be averted by repentance, as was the case with Nineveh.
Conclusion
Jonah 3:4 is not a failed prophecy because it was a warning meant to bring about repentance. The prophecy was conditional, and when Nineveh repented, God in His mercy chose not to bring about the destruction. This shows the consistency of God's character as both just and merciful, and reinforces the principle that repentance can lead to divine forgiveness.
So we're back to the 100%.
Can you list these examples specifically?
Chapter and verse and how you interpret them to be false.
That sounds more like an interpretation issue from the outside.
But all of this aside, I give you very specific versus that very specifically say that God's standard for profit is complete accuracy. Therefore you can't say you're going by the Bible and be at odds with those specific scriptures.
If you're interested that's pastor Douglas Wilson from Christ Church in Moscow Idaho.
Their social medias are Canon+ And he has a great little 20 minute spot on YouTube every couple of days called "man rampant" that is always fantastic.
He is also published an absolute ridiculous amount of books. He says he writes for the same reason a dog barks. It's his nature. He has quite a way with words.
I'm just going by what scripture says and scripture says 100%.
The test of a prophet was 100 percent accuracy in what he said (Deuteronomy 18:22). If a prophet’s predictions did not come true, then he could not have been speaking for God, since God never lies (Numbers 23:19).
So you can choose to either go with what you say or with what God says.
As for me and my household, we serve the Lord.
Exactly.
A prophet is someone's that says "Thus sayith the Lord..." And they have 100% accuracy... ALWAYS.
If they miss even ONE thing then God says you will know they are not sent by Him.
That is the biblical standard of a prophet of God.
I make predictions all the time. I don't claim they came from God though. Some of my predictions are correct, some of my predictions are incorrect, some of my predictions are only partially correct. But if I claimed to speak for God and I was wrong I would hope somebody would sock me in the mouth. Cause that's what I'd like to do with a lot of these charlatans that claimed to be prophets of God.

I do t know why you are so hung up on this but I'll finish up here with my last reply .....
The aspects or qualities of Jesus, as God, can be summarized in the following attributes:
-
Holiness: God is perfectly holy, set apart from sin, and perfectly pure (Isaiah 6:3, 1 Peter 1:16).
-
Love: God is love, demonstrated in His care for humanity and His sacrificial giving (1 John 4:8, John 3:16).
-
Truth: Jesus declared Himself as "the way, the truth, and the life" (John 14:6), representing absolute truth, but it is not His only defining quality.
-
Justice: God is perfectly just and righteous, upholding what is right and judging sin (Psalm 89:14, Isaiah 30:18).
-
Mercy: God's mercy is evident in His forgiveness and compassion toward sinners (Exodus 34:6, Ephesians 2:4-5).
-
Omniscience: God knows all things, including every thought, action, and motive (Psalm 139:1-4, Hebrews 4:13).
-
Omnipotence: God is all-powerful and sovereign over all creation (Genesis 17:1, Revelation 19:6).
-
Immutability: God does not change in His nature or promises (Malachi 3:6, Hebrews 13:8).
-
Grace: God shows unmerited favor to humanity, especially through the work of Christ (Ephesians 2:8-9, Titus 2:11).
-
Faithfulness: God is trustworthy and always keeps His promises (Deuteronomy 7:9, 1 Corinthians 1:9).
While truth is a central aspect of God’s character, these other qualities—such as love, justice, and mercy—are equally essential to understanding the fullness of who God is. Each attribute works in harmony with the others to reveal the complete nature of God.
Meh.... AA hasn't offered flights to and from Tel Aviv since Oct. 6, 2023 after the Hamas invasion of Israel.
Here's a nugget tho.... Britain has alerted all its airlines to stay out of Lebanese airspace from Aug. 8 through Nov. 4, citing "potential risk to aviation from military activity."
Sorry fren but this is basic and universally accepted as part of the gospel and the golden chain of redemption. Repentance is a command to Unbelievers. You don't need a savior if there's nothing to be saved from.
But don't take my word for it. Here's a few verses.
Acts 3:19: "So turn away from your sins. Turn to God. Then your sins will be wiped away. The time will come when the Lord will make everything new"
Luke 13:3 - No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish
Matthew 4:17: "Repent of your sins and turn to God, for the Kingdom of Heaven is near"
Acts 2:38: "Turn away from our sins and to God"
Jesus said, “I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish” (Luke 13:3)
Jesus Himself emphasizes the importance of repentance in His teachings. Mark 1:15 (NIV) records His words: "The time has come... The kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news!" This reflects the idea that repentance is a fundamental response to the message of the Gospel, leading to a transformed life through faith.
