i'm not sure that you are seeing my point. i can say that canada will some day invade the USA (calculate those odds) and if i'm somehow right, this does not mean god told me so. | I do see your point, and based only on your one simple prediction, you would be right. But let's take your example of Canada invading the U.S. and give it Biblical proportions. Tell me in what year that will happen; tell me exactly where they will cross the border; tell me the minute details of the battles; tell me the exact name of the man that will lead the invasion; tell me when or if the U.S. will regain it's independence; tell me if U.S. citizens will ever be reunited as one country.
If you are able to provide these details, then I would be impressed. Prophecies fulfilled in such detail are found in the Bible hundreds of years before they actually occured. Hopefully, you now see my point. |

| Here's another example of exact prophecy:
One prophet of God (unnamed, but probably Shemiah) said that a future king of Judah, named Josiah, would take the bones of all the occultic priests (priests of the "high places") of Israel's King Jeroboam and burn them on Jeroboam's altar (I Kings 13:2 and II Kings 23:15-18). This event occurred approximately 300 years after it was foretold.
(Probability of chance fulfillment = 1 in 10 to the power of 13). |

my question is ....... is it true Obama refused to put his hand over his heart and say the pledge of allegiance? since we were talking about hell freezing over etc.

It was very popular and used by all the kids when I was about 12years old. However, something happened to me over the last 30 years that caused me to forget that statement ... I grew up.
I believe it was you who referred to me as cat poo and said that when you wearied of toying with me you would discard me as such. You also told me to "Begone little Christian". Funny how things have changed. I am now weary of you. I am trying to discuss my beliefs, and stating evidence to support my beliefs. If you cannot offer anything meaningful, then Begone, Deb, begone... |

You're the prophet in this Scenario. You can't guess either, be specific. Are you begining to see the difficulties in accurate prophecy? |

michael and garcia are popular names now i believe.
i don't know much about canada, or even america and canadian relations

| shadowind okay ..... I gotta ask .... since you don't know much about US/Canadian relations ... where are you posting from?
I so wish folks would let the rest of us know what country they are posting from ... it helps with the ... I guess it would sometimes help explain a difference in perception that people have ... you know what I mean??
