They don't spell it out, smart guy. It's an idea. Like flying machine or something. Jeez. So literal!

I was just kidding around but I still dont believe it. Do you really believe this FFMCobalt?

-MC

I just stay out of it so I don't have to worry about it. I don't know the specifics. If it's true, fine. If it's false, fine. It doesn't change my life so I just don't worry about it.

I feel exactly the same way, I was just pointing out a very odd coincidence and seeing what you guys thought about it. That's all

Similar associated words are found when the text is analysed in the same way as in 'The Bible Code'.

The Moby Dick Code..

"When my critics find a message about the assassination of a prime minister encrypted in Moby Dick, I'll believe them." -- Michael Drosnin, Author, "The Bible Code" (Newsweek, Jun 9, 1997)

This is precisely what I was talking about. The code is crap. Everyone with any brains at all knows this. Only deluded fools believe this stuff.

 

[Nocturnal]

So Josh are you basically saying that what you posted is real, right? so the bible code is kinda fake or can be recreated in any book?

 

[oboeguy]

This article at Scientific American should make it clear what a bunch of hooey it all is.

Australian mathematician Brendan McKay did just that, locating no fewer than nine political assassinations secreted in the great novel, along with additional discoveries in War and Peace and other tomes (see cs.anu.edu.au/~bdm/dilugim/moby.html). American physicist David E. Thomas predicted the Chicago Bulls's NBA championship in 1998 from his code search of Leo Tolstoy's novel. He also recently unearthed "the Bible code is a silly, dumb, fake, false, evil, nasty, dismal fraud and snake-oil hoax" from Bible Code II (see www.nmsr.org/biblecod.htm).

I was bored last night before going to bed and I saw an odd book laying around titled "The Bible Code" by Michael Drosnin. I read through most of it and couldn't help but wonder if this was the truth; had the Bible actually predicted things that were going to happen in the future? It seemed to have. Describing events to an exact time/location/person. Then today, I went on a search to find if the Bible Code had actually written about one of the biggest events in our nation's history - 9/11. Eerily, it did.

Read the above and below links for some interesting stuff and tell me if you believe or not - could God actually have written about everything that was going to happen on Earth in His book? Scary stuff.

? Scientific proof the Bible Code "exists"
? The many different entries in the Bible Code

seriously how stupid are you? you shouldnt be allowed to think for yourself.

After reading about 10 pages on this thing from supporters and skeptics, I have even less faith in it. The entire system that the ELS uses is just dumb. It's basically like trying to find any possible connections between any phrases that you want.. the statistics that they come up with are grossly inflated. They also only show up in one specific version of the bible, and only in the book of Genesis.The findings are random, coincidences occur.

It only occurs in one version of the Bible? Wouldn't the code have to show up only in Hebrew for this to be at all fathomable?

Snake oil! Besides, everyone knows that only the Watchtower Bible Society is truly able to interpret the scriptures!

This guy made truckloads of money from the gullible.

Yeah, then you defended that stupid nonsense.

 

[Riprorin]

This is interesting:

The Book of Genesis is a genealogy of only 10 people, from Adam to Noah.

Since these are proper names, they are not translated, but only tranliterated to approximatethe way they are pronounced. But what do these name signify in English?

Hebrew English
---------- ---------
Adam Man
Seth Appointed
Enosh Mortal
Kenan Sorrow;
Mihalalel The Blessed God
Jared Shall come down
Enoch Teaching
Methuselah His death shall bring
Lamech The despairing
Noah Rest, or comfort

"Man (is) appointed mortal sorrow; (but) the Blessed God shall come down teaching (that) His death shall bring (the) despairing rest."

I was playing devil's advocate, I like to argue/etc. It's mad interesting & you get two sides of a story.

Ah, I remember this moron. It's the guy who's belives that if you belive Revelation, belive in hell, tie your right shoe first in the morning, etc. then you're not a real christian

Also the same guy who said his "faith in action" is to "treat everyone like family". Sure show's it doesn't he?

You sir, are one of the better examples of hypocricy I've seen in my life.

On another note, why do you give flying fvck about what other people belive? You seriously need to grow up and worry about yourself I think.

I'd never heard about this until now and the counter point links provided seem to prove that it's just bs but honestly, who cares?

Calm down, go outside and get some sun, get a girlfriend, something, anything. Just quit crying so much about what other people think. It does nothing more than make you look exactly like the 5 year old you probably are.

Just like that crap posted about wormwood. You treat others who think for themselves like idiots.

God gave everyone the ability to think. Try using it for a change. I treat people as nicely as I can, but if some idiot decides to be stupid then I call him on that.

Let me know when you grow up.

relax guys.
