Bible Codes, Discuss.

Actually I thought he predicted it would be in 2012? Maybe I'm wrong.

According to my sources, he predicted 2006, 2010, and 2012, which seems kind of contradictory to me.

Yes, obviously the world can't be destroyed 3 times.

Really, even if there is a code, it can't be used to predict the future, since the future is constantly changing. There are many possibilities for the future.

If that is your belief, then what would be the significance of the Bible codes anyway? If what you say is true, Drosnin is simply data mining, and his computer is able to pick up on "codes" related to recent events.

I never said they are significant. Actually, they are quite insignificant. I just think it's pretty cool that whoever wrote the bible could have placed these things in it purposefully.

Well, your two statements seem kind of contradictory. You say that they are insignificant, but appear to believe that they were placed in the Bible (is it supposed to be capitalized? I don't know I'm just doing it) purposefully. Now, I could be wrong on that assumption, but that is the belief you seem to convey.

If someone purposefully put codes about Hitler thousands of years before his conception, why would they make it to be insignificant. Perhaps God, or the intellectual who created the edited version of the Torah that Drosnin worked off of, was a comical being, and only put these there to perplex us?

Furthermore, if these "codes" were put in the Torah on purpose, did Melville and Tolstoy do such things on purpose? If so, should they be considered prophets; disciples of Jesus himself, or in these cases, it it coincidence? If it's coincidence in the cases of Moby Dick and War and Peace, then why not in the Bible? It wouldn't even really be coincidence, just another case of data mining, as I stated before.

I said it could have, I never said it was or I think it was.

I don't know, I wasn't there whenever they wrote it.

Be careful. Black Jesus's come with PHDs out of the box.
