The Mark of the Beast (666)

So you are saying that everything in the Bible is correct, or you are saying that something in the Bible are not correct?

Yes everything in the Bible is truly stated, but not necessarily a statement of Truth. For example, let's say that I told you to record everything that I say so that it could be preserved for future posterity or study 100 years from now. Here is what you record me as saying,

"All elephants have wings and can fly, all sharks live on dry land, all zebras live underground, and all birds fly to the moon lay the eggs and then fly back to earth."

Question: in this scenario did I actually say those words? Yes? You are correct. But is everything that I said a statement of truth (i.e. truthful or factual)? No? You are correct again.

So what we have are words that I have truly stated (because you wrote down every word that I said), but my words are not statements of truth (that's because elephants do not have wings and they cannot fly, all sharks do not live on dry land, all zebras do not live underground, and all birds do not fly to the moon, lay their eggs and then fly back to earth).

All Scripture in the Bible is truly stated but not necessarily fact or truth. The Bible simply records the actual words that were spoken, or the events that occurred. But you have to rightly divide the Word of Truth to determine if what the Bible reveals is both truly stated and a statement of Truth. For example, the Bible states that Jesus Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose again the third day. This statement is truly stated (meaning Paul did say these words about Jesus), and Paul's words are statements of truth (or truthful) because Jesus did actually die, was literally buried, and did in fact rise from the dead the third day.

You live your life, your values and your judgments and views on others is solely based on the teaching of the Bible but if the Bible as you know it is flawed and key words or phrases are incorrect then how can you justify that?

The point is that the words were transcribed over and over so how do you even know what the original words even said as in point 616? You have stated on many occasions that you take what is written in the Bible to be true and even use key parts of scriptures to prove your points but if what you have read is not what was truly written then how can you know the word of God?

I believe that the original word was 666 not 616 and that is what was truly written. I do not believe that the Bible is flawed.

Even if the bible had no flaws it wouldn't change anything. The translators still messed up.

It's just a freakin number!

uh no, 666 is the mark of the beast. "6" is the imperfect number, as where "7" is the sign of perfection.

It has already been shown to be and error in translation

No it hasn't, the mark of the beast is 666 the number of man. A lot of people believe that it has been mistranslated but it hasn't even greek scholars concur that the mark of the beast is 666.

Now you are going back on what you said before that you agreed that it was a transcribed error. The original text has it as 616 and not 666 as in the modern text which you hold to be the true word of God.

I was speaking hypothetically that if the Bible did have an error (i.e. 616) that I believe that it is supposed to be 666.

But as I have already stated I do not believe that the Bible contains any errors.

My area code is 616. Coincidence?

I THINK NOT.

Most certainly.

Mine is 01.

Aw.

That just f*cked up.

is that what they claimed?

Typical byproduct of a delusion.
