CH 3, ¶6
From the passages themselves I cannot prove the passages' legitimacy--that would be presumptive and irrational. But I can rationally state this either/or situation: either the evangelists truthfully recorded what Christ spoke, and the event matched the prediction; or the evangelists falsely recorded Christ as having spoken later-fulfilled prophecies. The other two possibilities are ridiculous: that Christ brainwashed his followers with fear for no reason; or that Christ never spoke any of the stated predictions, but the events would have contradicted him even if he did, even though there is plenty of evidence, contemporary to the situation that claims he did say such things.
