CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I have studied end times prophecy for some years, and most of the codes are not worth the effort. My experience is just a straight reading of scripture yields more insights that any special code.
On a similar note, I went to a conference that purported to have the keys to Revelation. I was as skeptical about this one as all the others, but I was pleasantly surprised. Instead of some off the wall code, they just did a side by side study of the Book of John and the Book of Revelations. I knew that both books were written by the same man, but their position was that new insight could be gained by reading them together. I must admit that they were right. If anyone is interested Ill post more details about the themes to look for. But even after a few hours I was finding stuff myself that they were not pointing out in the conference.

Bible Codes for prophecy = useless
Revelation for Prophecy = useless
It's all junk.

Because I think Revelation basically does not belong in the Bible. It almost was not included in the first place. To say the book has a chequered history is an understatement. It, quite simply, seems like the ravings of lunatics.

I disagree somewhat. It is symbolic in the extreme - so much so as to render it's interpretation an exercise in futility. You might as well interpret the prophecy in cloud shapes or tea leaves IMO.
