Have you heard of the Bible Code? Do you believe it? Just briefly, if you haven't heard of it, 3 Jewish Rabbi's claim to have discovered a 'code' in the hebrew bible that they believe was put there by God only to be discovered in the age of computers when sophisticated software could unravel it. Supposedly, most of the 'big' world events are found in the bible code like the world wars, Saddam Hussein, 9-11-01, etc. The only problem is that in order to find a 'code' you have to have search criteria, so most of the 'codes' were found after the fact. Do you buy into this? I don't believe it or disbelieve it at the moment. BUT, there IS a future event found in the bible code that is to happen on 9-9-05! That's next friday! I figure if something happens then I may start to believe it, if not, then.....oh well. If you're interested, there are 2 cryptic msgs for Friday, 9-9-05. First one: "....committed a crime of blood. For he will shoot." Second: "...a melting caused you to shrink. They desired a descending cold." What do you think these msgs mean?

how did u find this out??!!

Oh man, it's been on the History Channel a couple of times and maybe the Discovery Channel over the past 2-3 years.

The validity of prophecies are often exaggerated. Many prophecies are vague, allowing them to be applied to many possible future events. The cryptic prophecies of Nostradamus are a prime example of this.

iv never heard of it ! but it sounds intresting

All of these claims are strongly denied by skeptics and many religious groups as well.

True. Just like any of this kind of stuff, there are always people (with respected credentials) that refute the findings. In fact, I don't remember his name, but a person with 'good' credentials also showed that a 'code' could be found in the book Moby Dick. These Jewish Rabbi's that believe in the code are not just Rabbi's but respected scientists. Like I said, I don't totally buy into it and won't unless something happens on 9-9-05. Anyone have a guess what those msgs could be referring to?

I've heard much about this....It's interesting....I think the most important books they use are the first 5..The Torah.

I think it's cool...But heard you really cannot depict the future with real accuracy in it....only past events....

Wonder if my names in it...Maybe It's the book of life mentioned in the Bible.....Whooooooo....don't want to go there......

You can probably make a complex code to make a body of text have any hidden message you want if you're bored enough.

no such thing. You can take any book.......apply the same tecniques and get the same results.......ofcourse 99% of the results are discarded, leaving only the 1% that actually creates intelligible words. How exactly is this a code again?

"oh my god.......if you take Stephen King's book It...........count every seventeenth letter, the word HITLER will appear in the first chapter..........and if you count every 34th letter, the word nazi will also appear in the first chapter. Holy shit........god put a message in there........all we had to do was skip a random number of letters to get a word, then skip a random yet different number of letters to get another word that is loosely pertainable"

yeah......see the thing is.......if you skip every 17th letter you can get the word HITLER but you will also get AGEBZEBEKLEAXEL.........

why is this called the bible code anyway? Damn Christians...........they don't even use the bible, they use the Torah.

Yeah, they use the Torah......ED did you actually try this?

I was going to give my opinion on this topic but ED beat me to it...

it only works in Hebrew.........

I've watched like 2,000 shows on the Discovery channel and History channel about it. It's all nonsense. When I get the time......I'll go through any book at random and produce the same affect.

what I stated in my previous post is true though.........that is exactly how they do it. Skip every 17th letter to get a word......then skip every 42nd letter to get another word that may have some relevance to the earlier word they found..........and ofcourse nobody talks about all the other nonsense words you get by skipping every 17th letter..........

Hmmm, this reminds me of all the fossil records discarded because they dissagree with evolution.

Prove that any fossil records has been discarded.

really.......it reminds you of that? Please.....by all means share with us all..........exactly which fossil records are you speaking of?

The jesus freaks always hide things that dont go along with genesis.

I know Hebrew stands for letters, numbers and also deeper meanings...It does sound like a cool language...

and nostradamus prophecised 9-11 too

The Bible code is practically useless. I see all these shows with guys saying that the history of the world was written into the bible by god. But, were that the case, why does it never seem to address the future? It's always the past with these people. We don't need to know what HAS happened, we need to know what WILL happen. And if it does tell us about these horrible events in the future, and we avoid them...the god isn't very omnipotent, is he? If I took the pieces from a scrabble board and tossed them on the floor, I'm willing to bet I could find a few words in the jumble.

"The Bible Code" shows examples of how a code is revealed. I dont believe that the future is already told but you never know, the reason why I dont agree with this book is because you have to manipulate some of the characters in order to make out a sentence. Oh and I have this book.

So did "Lord of the Rings" and Greg Bear's "Queen of Angels" when we did this at our writer's circle.... and, according to "The Return of the King," President Bush died last week....

So, we have a zombie as president?

The Bible code is pretty much debunked.At first it seemed promising,but now it's just one of those things.

God works in mysterious ways.... ?
