The Criteria For A Prophecy Being True

Christians talk about how Jesus was prophesized in the Bible but is that true? The list of criteria for a prophecy to be true, according to the counter-apologist Paulogia, is as follows

• It was made clearly and demonstrably prior to the events predicted.
• It was intended to be a prediction.
• It was a non-mundane claim.
• It was answerable only by a single, transparent, and verifiable occurrence.
• It is not open to interpretation.
• It is not something that people are actively attempting to fulfill. 

In analyzing the above criteria, as well as pondering noted Biblical scholar Bart Ehrman's opinion on the subject (here), it is clear that the claims of the Bible prophesizing Jesus as "The Savior" assists in stretching Christianity's credibility to the absurd.
