The Bible Code....Scary Stuff...

[Celtic_Emperor]

Making us terrified that the world is about to end, is a wonderful way of controlling us. Nuff said.

While thats a possibility, they only control you if you let them.

Hell yes! Well said and very perceptive! The few can't control the billions unless the billions let them. Sadly......they do let them.

Re: Re: The Bible Code....Scary Stuff...

I have read some of the Bible Codes, and some of them are right on the money. There will always be skeptics and nay-sayers. When God prophecised to Daniel about the "coming empire" (the Roman Empire), many people refused to believe. A one-world empire, was ludicrious and could never happen.

What, like the one-world empires of the Greeks and the Egyptians who managed it before them? (One "known" world that is.)

This is all irrelevant you know. In the end, if you have God with you, it doesn't matter a damn who or what trys to consume you in this world. To hell with the beast, and to hell with the anti-christ. He can route around and destroy all the churches of the world and make practicing religion illegal, but even then, he or it has no power over you. He can starve you, he can beat you, and he can make you a wanted man, but again, again I say to thee, it DOESN'T MATTER A DAMN!

AMEN!?

Kind of frightenening when someone called "Damien" starts talking about the Antichrist.

Actually, I never got that alot. The joking reference about my name and the Omen movies I mean. I guess the series wasn't well known then.......or people figured they'd best not cross me.

*gives BigJim a cold, calculating stare*

Don't go soiling yourself now. 😀 LOL Kidding. I'm proud of my name. Wouldn't change it for the world. ^__^

*sirens start blaring and a loud, stentorian voice cries from a loudspeaker........NERD ALERT.....NERD ALERT!!!!*

You probably won'tbelieve this, but I can go right through the two best scenes from The Final Conflict. I'm talking of course, about the speech at the quarry and the scene where Damien prays to his father in the black chapel. I've got the dark look, the grey eyes......Sam Neill move over!

 

[Celtic_Emperor]

😛

I never finished watching the series actually. Now that I think about it, I don't remember a thing about it other then Sam Neil. Hes a swell fellow. 🙂

Nerd am I? Just you wait. In your sleep my friend...in your sleep.

I was calling myself a nerd, you daft bugger. I was calling myself a nerd because I can recite those two scenes in their entirety.

 

[AffectionateDan]

Oooh, ouch...

Kind of frightenening when someone called "Damien" starts talking about the Antichrist.

I was wondering if anyone'd go there...

Yes, you could say it's a bad "Omen".



You want more? Ok...Two demons walk into a bar...

I'm such a card!! I need to be dealt with!!

hehehehe.

Cheers.😀

I have a question why is it if God wanted us to know all this extra stuff in the bible that he had to encode it? Why not just write it down in an appendix or something? Like important dates to worry about or something like that. Things like this only reaffirm my belief that the bible code is a farce.

 

[Celtic_Emperor]

Exactly. Its simply not our place to inquire things of this nature either. God has his plans, and we ought to not demand an answer. If God hasn't revealed or allowed something to be revealed then its with reason and for our sake.

This 'Bible Code' stuff is possibly a form of man's defiance to God's order. Or just as bad, we're assuming what God means to do or allow to happen just so we can satisfy our craving for the unknown. Putting together some numbers and proclaiming a prophetic value in them is wrong, and twisted in its own way.

[kurchatovium]

Near as I can tell you can't really predict anything with this technique either. You have to wait for an event to happen then enter the information and then it tells you yep thats right it happened.

 

[Celtic_Emperor]

Yep. You might as well be calling the psychic hotlines for your answers. 🙄

I got this off Compuserve:


Michael Drosnin, author of "The Bible Code" and the new "Bible Code II: The Countdown," claims to have cracked a secret code in the Bible that can be used to predict dire events, reports The Associated Press. In his newest book, he says the Old Testament contains patterns of words--and this would be the secret code first discovered by an Israeli mathematician that Drosnin's computer now deciphers--that predicted the World Trade Center attack on September 11, 2001. Here are the words his computer found: "twin," "towers," "airplane" and "it knocked down" hidden in the Bible, and "sin, crime of bin Laden" with "city and tower." We're not sure why he didn't find this before 9/11. But if that's not enough to scare you, try this: Drosnin says the Bible predicts nuclear war in 2006.


Skeptics abound. The pious skeptics insist that the codes demean God and his Word by treating him as a secretive magician. Besides, such code-busting violates the Bible's own ban on soothsaying, notes AP.


The smart-aleck skeptics ran Drosnin's computer program on Tolstoy's "War and Peace" and found in that classic novel the exact World Trade Center code words that Drosnin found in the Bible. Then they ran the program on Dosnin's new book and found this encoded warning, reports AP: "The Bible Code is a silly, dumb, fake, false, evil, nasty, dismal fraud, and snake-oil hoax." We're not sure if that's meant to be a formal book review or not.

All's I know is that WWIII was supposed to happen when the Soviet Union and the Arabs joined forces, according to Nostradamous. According to Elizabeth Claire Prophet (and David Koresh - good grief!) the end should have come by now. According to Bible thumpers at the time, the 1st Gulf War was supposed to be the beginning of the end.

There was a line in Bowfinger where Eddie Murphy complains about a script he was given having a certain amount of the letter "K" in it. When put together the letters "KKK" apeard like 163 times, or whatever. It was funny! I recall Mark Mothersbough of Devo playing the phrase "I love Jesus" backwards and hearing it say 'I smell sausages". I can't think too much about stuff I can do nothing about. I need to pay my rent, buy my cheeseburgers and sue Avis Rent A Car.

I dunno. Why did God choose Daniel as a Prophet? Why did God only tell Daniel what would happen, concerning the coming World Empire (the Roman Empire)?

Why did God only tell Daniel about the "Man of Sin" (the Anti-Christ), the city on 7 hills, ect.

Why did God not tell everybody?

Are you still pissed off about Avis? Man, your blood pressure has to be thru the roof

 

[kurchatovium]

God did tell everbody for everything he told Daniel ended up in the bible for everyone to read. No computer codes or fancy deciphering is needed. That was sort of the point.

 

[ShiningIce]

Perhaps the Thread can figure it out

Actually, it's those aforementioned cheeseburgers doing that......

 

[THE THREAD]

Here I am. Thank you Shining Ice for asking for me. The bible code is as many of you suspected not in fact true. There is a hidden message in the bible though if you read the entire bible onto audio tape and play it backwards at 0.666 of normal speed you will hear the message "John Tesh is Evil." repeated over and over in differnet dialects.

Aw, that ain't hidden. Everyone knows that.

P. T. Barnum was right. Except now it's probably 2 per minute.
