Bible/Torah Code

[Drogue]

And moreover, in a language written without vowels, they're much more common, as some of the sources have mentioned.

We are keeping an open mind and hearing the arguments, however we have shown a lot of sources refuting it in what I'd consider a pretty conclusive way.

You didn't read the articles. There weren't just a "few" in these tomes.

I notice you haven't bothered to address any of the refutations in the links I provided. Where's your intellect here?

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

Provide some evidence that hasn't already been refuted. You have only just waved away contrary evidence without any justification and made unsupported claims that the code is "proven."

Having open eyes doesn't mean being gullible. That's just being foolish.

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???

What's intellectual about gullibly swallowing the Bible Code claptrap?

You liar:

With the proof that has been shown proves it to be real;Does this also prove the existance of GOD?

You stated quite clearly you've made up your mind about it being real. And you haven't considered any of the arguments presented against it--you just dismiss them out of hand, without providing any of your own evidence.

Has Mr. Nice Guy hacked your account?

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.

The burden of proof is on you. If you fail to provide proof, your assertions are little more than pure bull****.

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

If all you look for is "meaningful" messages, such as "George W. Bush is a dirty liar," the bible doesn't stand out statistically. If you look for a certain group of messages, the situation could change. However, there are many problems with this:

1. These messages are subject to interpretation. For example, "Joe is dead" means nothing now, but if a famous Joe were to be killed tomorrow, suddenly this message would become prophetic, at least to some.

2. How do you determine the group of messages you accept? This is so easy to manipulate as to render all such tests meaningless. Say, if somebody finds the message "Drosan is a faker" in the bible, would he include it in his book? Of course not.

3. A message is not meaningful to a person unless it is somehow linked to him, either through personal experience or knowledge acquired in some way. Thus, the message "There is no Cosmological Constant" is not meaningful to anybody who doesn't know what the Cosmological Constant is.

4. A prophecy is not, until after the event, when somebody goes forward to look for something to interpret in the bible. Had anybody find a prophecy in it before the South Asian Tsunami struck last year? Not one.

It is real to the extent that a person can find any number of hidden messages in any suitably large tome using the "equ-distance letter" method.

It is not real that the torah is better, even in the Hebrew original.

Yes, why of course! Especially when the code application can be used on Moby Dick with similar results.




I skipped over most of the posts, so I'm not sure if you were being sarcastic or not. I'm assuming you were.

The problem is, you keep your mind so open your brain fell out.

It's not that we aren't open to new ideas. It's that we studied this thing years ago, and we already know it's FoS.

I tend to think the Bible Code thing is superstition, although I do believe the Scriptures have infinite meaning, meaning that there will always be more to learn from them, including gaining new meaning when you read them in the original language or even an inspired translation into a third party language. You cannot find every supposed hidden message before everything happens, and even if you could, you would also find plenty that are untrue and contradictory. The devil can twist scripture to his own purposes. He that is the most sure of himself alone can easily be wrong. The burden of proof is on the doubter. I could prophesy that the sun will rise tomorrow.

So it's not up to those that claim unicorns exist to prove it, it's for those who do not believe in them to prove they don't exist?

[Brent]

You may always consider anything proven to yourself. Unicorns do exist, but they are nothing like horned horses. For all I know, the unicorns of fantasy may exist elsewhere in the universe, but I do not believe they have ever existed on Earth. How many people now living claim the unicorns of fantasy exist? One could expect there to be fossils of unicorns, but not of God. But then, I am no expert on the unicorns of fantasy, are they supposed to be immortal? If something must be proven, it does not need to be proven right now. Are those lights on the television proof that George Bush exists? Can you prove that stars are similar in all galaxies of the same age?

You have a very strange definition of "proof." It is so stange, in fact, that it means the same thing as "assertion" for you.

1. Unicorns are supposed to look like horned horses. If you don't like it, tough.

2. Contradiction. First you asserted that "unicorns" exist, then you asserted that they just might

Who knows. There are those who believe in a Flat Earth.

All right, so why did you make these assertions?

Not proven = mere assertion

Random gibberish doesn't help you make your case.
