    To define terms. It may be inaccurate but I use the terms this way. To me, logic is using provable facts in a majority to arrive at a conclusion. Faith is "hope in things unseen", to me meaning not seen, experienced, or provable. If faith is logical it is not faith. It is logic.

    The prophecy in the Bible that has been fulfilled is 66 percent of what is given, about 33 percent has not been fulfilled yet. It has unfolded over the last few thousand years. The accuracy of what has been fulfilled is 100 per cent.

    Yes there are concrete proofs of what has been fulfilled. Here are some links. A mathematical model, some lists, etc. Mathematical model is a little boring.
    https://www.researchgate.net/public...ematical_Modeling_of_Prophecies_Perfect_model ;
    the following link is a really good article listing 13 Bible prophecies and the facts given are provable.
    https://www.biblestudytools.com/bib...-filled-with-fulfilled-prophecy-11652232.html

    there are many, many sources. just use google and some discernment.
    Just parsing words, that is what I meant by "no profit", it is a waste of time.
    I don't think it would be easy to go into all the prophecies and proofs here, but if you are genuinely interested, I would be happy to have a conversation anytime. I don't try to sell religion or push it on anyone but if you ask then I will tell. I will buy the beer when it becomes available if you drink.

    Charlie, I would never rely on an American dictionary for definitions . They don't even have the correct spelling of some words.
    Words often misspelled ate: colour, grey and humour. The use of the word "great" as in "great again" , it's not clear wether or not the misuse is the result of a misunderstanding or a delusion. (Joke na lang).

    chips


    In British English, chips are long, thin pieces of potato that are fried in oil and eaten hot. Pieces of potato like these are called fries or french fries in American English.

    We had fish and chips for dinner.
    They went to a restaurant near the Capitol for a steak and fries.



    In American English, chips or potato chips are very thin slices of potato that have been fried until they are hard and crunchy and are eaten cold. Pieces of potato like these are called crisps in British English.

    She ate a large bag of potato chips.
    I bought a packet of crisps and a drink.

    Chips made from foods other than potatoes usually have that word first.

    There was a bowl of tortilla chips and salsa on the table.

    I believe to have or not have a belief in religion is one of the few personal choices we have left.
    To get called down for being a believer or not a believer is offensive and annoying.
