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.
The Bible Code II

Well the Bible Code sites I have read there is nothing on the mark of the beast. So I think the Bible Code has much room for error in predicting the future.

I would say, becarefull putting trust into places that think they know when the "end times" will come.
Have you ever read the book "88 reasons the rapture will be in 1988"?
As far as the bible codes, since they are basically the human mind making connections, yes they are horrible at predicting the future as they often require the knowledge of an event, before they can be found.

Yea, I read that Bible Code book, and it seemed to me there were some serious problems with it.
First, it incorrectly "predicted" events. Marconi as being the inventor of the Radio was discovered, but Tesla was the real inventor. You'd think the bible would get that right. Or it showed Oswald as being the assassin of Kennedy, but almost no one believes Oswald was the lone guy, even if he did fire a shot or two. In other words, we find what we want to find
I also read somewhere else that the same computer analysis was used on Shakespear's writings and found similar rates of "predicting" the future.
I guess I'm a little skeptical on this one.

Namaste all,
i once dated a person that believed that the world was going to end in 1999, some Christian person had deduced this date from the Bible and so forth and wrote a book about it.
my friend was a devout (and i presume still is) Christian.. and, since the world was going to end... bought some new stuff, like a car. needless to say, it wasn't really expected that the ownership of said vehicle was going to be for very long.
it's quite heartbreaking to watch the repo man come and take your car because you can't pay for it.. and that's exactly what happened.

The Bible Codes have been falsified.
If you don't believe just that one site then believe these guys.

LOL, I don't believe the Bible Code is 100% accurate YET, but it is interesting to read about and look into.
As for it predicting the End, only God knows.
St. Matthew 24:33-40

Or perhaps there is something within human language itself (and or written words) which is actually able to contain prophecies or discriptions of events that are of the past and present.
This would be understandable considering the fact that no scientist can correctly explain exactly where language originally came from. It might also help to explain the reasons why people are beginning to find other prophecies in other books (such as Moby Dick, ect.) which tell of the past and future and of which aren't only confined to just the Bible.
Perhaps thats because we are just beginning to understand the truth about our words and language, which is that there might just be alot more to them than meets the eye, especially when they are being viewed from that of a computer.

The Son of God said He did not know and we think we can "know"?
Apostles repeatedly told people with similar thoughts in thier day to forget about it. Yet even today we see people that want to be pre-occupied with it. Do what they told those people, live like it will be any moment but do not concern yourself with when.

Just because people have been able to show that there may be other codes in other books of the world doesn't mean that they have proven the Bible Code as being false.
They haven't proven their case because they haven't been able to explain the fact that events have happened exactly when the Bible Code has said that they would.
The critics like to spend so much time on the "chance" factor, that they often fail to realize whats right in front of their eyes. Instead of Michael Drosnin saying "When my critics find the same in Moby Dick then maybe I'll believe them", he should have said "When my critics find the same events in the Bible with different dates,times, people, and places next to them, then maybe I'll believe them."
The exact date of the gulf war was found in the Bible Code, but has the same event been found next to a different date? No it hasn't. It has only been found next to the date of which it actually occured on. Has it been found next to anyone elses name except Saddams? No it hasn't, and I doubt it ever will be. Now when you take all that into consideration, it all seems pritty special if you ask me. No other events have been found with two different dates, names, and places either, so as of now I am very confident that the Bible Code is true.
The critics main problem is their own intentions, because they allow them all to cloud their minds. They haven't raised any valid arguement in my opinion, because they're not telling the entire truth about everything that they're doing.
They are trying to use math and science to prove the code as wrong, but they fail to take into consideration that the code itself might just be BIGGER than either math OR science.
Another thing that ****es me off is that many of the Bible Code's critics don't seem to even want to consider the fact that all of our little "theories" and mathmatical explanations might be laughable at best to those who might also inhabit certain parts of the Universe.
Whos to say that our current explanations and mathmatics system is only but a tiny portion of the larger scheme of things to come? We humans like to get ourselves into trouble because we sometimes try and pretend as if we already have everything figured out.
I don't think we take the time to realize that many times in the past we have made this same exact mistake, only to find out later that we all have so much more to learn.
All i'm saying is that before you try and prove something as being wrong, always take into consideration that the very thing you're using as your arguement might only be in it's baby stages (if anything), and that we might not know enough about what we're talking about to be able to prove it one way or the other. =)

The bible codes are complete nonsense. You can find the same messages in any book, it's just a matter of math and statistics. It's a trick and a con for people to take your money.
