if it is true, how come nobody can find these "prophecies" until after they happen.... where was the warning on 9-10-01?

If you do not know the proof.... this only shows you have not done your reasearch.

Do your homework then come talk to me about it.

I gotta see this.

If you read the "Moby Dick Code" link (there's a bunch of stuff on that site) you realise that you could find such code in any large enough book.

the rule of four ?

Damn. I saw the thread and was feeling all smug about my intention to disprove all with the Moby Dick code.

You snooze, you lose God will reveal secret messages commanding us to send bears to maul you.

Also, the sequel to the Bible Code contains a 'coded' message of "THE BIBLE CODE IS A SILLY, DUMB, FAKE, FALSE, EVIL, NASTY, DISMAL FRAUD AND SNAKE-OIL HOAX." http://www.nmsr.org/biblecod.htm#drosnin2

creavitque Deus cete grandia et omnem animam viventem atque motabilem quam produxerant aquae in species suas et omne volatile secundum genus suum et vidit Deus quod esset bonum
benedixitque eis dicens crescite et multiplicamini et replete aquas maris avesque multiplicentur super terram

The last time I tried the Dick, I quit about a page in. I must not be receptive to spiritual notions.

On the other, I just love the D!ck and d!ck, and yet am not receptive to spiritual wolly headedness, nor to cod codifying.

Codeine is better than cod god messages.

I wonder what "proof" doc says there is for the Bible Code? Certainly none that any reputable scholars can see.

Using the same "code" to get similar results in War and Peace:

I remember last year an article was published about a large group of prominent rabbis who came out and said the Torah code is, in fact, a bunch of hooey.

You may get a few with Moby Dick and War and Peace but the Bible has thousand on thousands.

It was the statistical odds and the cities test that had me hooked.


Don't be so quick to close your eyes to something that may be real.


I don't understand how some of you can be so quick to dissmiss without even checking to see if it is real???????


You call yourselves intellects???

Oh come on...someone has to keep an open mind.

Unlike some I try not to make up my mind till I have heard all the arguments.

IIRC, the proportion of matches was pretty much equal. The fact that they found contradictory messages using the bible-code message also disproves it as an intentional code. Fact is that you could think of pretty much anything and find it in any substantial text using this message.
