The Bible Code

[laconicstudent]

I dont know why I continue to bother posting this information, it seems that most are not interested, or think it's some kind of a joke. I guess when the antichrist starts rounding up christians and killing them and then when Christ returns that will be a joke too.

Not everything is a joke people.

We aren't interested because its old hat, that was disproved half a decade ago.

Oh goodie. A reminder if why I usually stay away from GT. What's next? A thread about not eating meat because it's inhumane how they kill cows?

Dig back a few pages and you can probably find one about that on the site

Have you read the Bible Code book? I read it a few years ago, and pretty much forgotten about it until recently. My interest in it started peaking again, and I started doing some research on my own about it recently. I believe it's real, a real hidden code in the bible that would not be opened or cracked until the last days, which is now. The bible says pretty much the same thing, a secret code that will be hidden until the right time.

We do not have the original autographs. We only have slightly imperfect copies and translations. (See Textual Criticism)

If a copied manuscript is just one letter off from the original autograph it throws the entire code cracking alignment off completely.

There can be no Bible code because we don't have a perfectly copied manuscript to examine.

As for the translations, it's ridiculous that they are even considered for code finding since all translation is rooted in subjectivity. There are words in Hebrew and Greek that have no English/French/German/etc. equivalent plus there is an aspect of personal interpretation with all translation.

From other threads on which I have attempted to engage you in serious discussion I was rebuffed by you, or you simply continued to post YOUTUBE videos which you seemed to have thought were supportive to your claims. Are you saying you are open to a sincere dialog on the legitimacy of the "Bible Codes"?

Don't bother to answer, I will assume your answer is "yes" and proceed with the discussion.

The problem with the Bible Codes is it is based upon the false assumption that the Hebrew Scriptures have a single unified text which is devoid from any textual problems and has been prefectly preserved in that form. All you have to do to see this is wrong is take most typical Bibles and start reading the footnotes at the bottom of each page of the Old Testament. You will see that there is a serious, on-going effort to get back to the original text.

There is not a single-flawless-text of the Old Testamant upon which one may begin to count out the characters and perform calculations.

Maybe divination is a sort of a (Rorshach) Ink blot test.

Seems like Pharoah and his cronies tried to pull rabbits out of their hats

Exodus 7:11 And Pharaoh however is calling to wise-men and to ones making enchantments/03784 kashaph and they are doing even they sacred scribes of Egypt in occultisms of them so.

Matthew 12:14 And the Pharisees/farisaioi <5330> having gone forth, held a consultation against him, how they might destroy him,

Revelation 9:21 And not they reform out of the murders of them, nor out from their Sorceries/far-makeiwn <5331> ,...........

Yes you did.

Refresh my memory, (its not what it used to be). By the way, if you knew I'd gotten one, why did you ask if I did?

Obama was elected in 2008. The bible code doesn't say when he would be assassinated. The year 2008 was used to identify him, the president that was elected in 2008. I can't say for sure if it will happen in the future, but if it does, then you will probably take the bible code a little more seriously then you do, along with most other people.

I'm not to sure about the bible being written in code. It seema a few of the people who post on CF have some kind of code book about the Bible that they won't share.
