Read this and post OS=oh **** or BS=bull ****. Also say why please :}. I was kinda wondering what people thought about this.

If you have "The History Channel" you should look into watching that if your thinking OH ****. but if your thinking bull ****, just f-it.

Also for you people who say BS, google it and see some more. Just in case your intrested.

Dont even ask me why i made this... I'm freakin bored and it's 5:15am... hm...i guess i answered the question i told you not to ask for you.

Hm... i just noticed that the year 2012 is everywhere. Here's another crazy link. http://www.crawford2000.co.uk/patrickg.htm

"No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left.
"Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.


Basicly, anyone saying they've used the Bible to determine when the end of the world is coming is saying "I've outwitted God!" Which would kind of make the point of a Biblical prophecy a bit moot.

This guy is fruitier than any pebbles I've ever bought in the grocery store.

Too many people have the false idea in their head that somewhere there is an ultimate 'key' to understanding everything around you. Whether they try to achieve this through numerical analysis of a book or through peyote tea is moot. The result is still the same: if you look hard enough and translate loosely enough, you can interpret pretty much anything to mean anything you like.

I find it utterly amazing that every kook that goes looking for a mystic pattern in the bible finds one. Jesus Christ on a hopped up chariot!

"I've found proof that aliens will invade in the year 2008! It's all right here before our eyes. All you have to do is numerate the text of the bible, http://www.bibleontheweb.com/Bible.asp
overlay it with Issue #1 of Archie Meets the Punisher, http://www.milehighcomics.com/cgi-bin/backissue.cgi?action=enlarge&issue=04424915294%201
take the matching text, square the numbers, read it in binary, and there is is: It clearly says: Grn Mn 2087"

Sheesh, people are such idiots. This crap is nothing but a foolish grasp at nothingness in a desperate attempt to validate an inner desire to be the one special person to figure out the meaning of life.

Bunk, I say. Bunk.

And I already saw the history channel show. Mildly interesting, but interesting doesn't make it true.

I really wish they'd quit with the religious programming on the History channel.

That doesn't have my vote either. Are these really the only 2 topics they can come up with?

I do remember they had a History of Underwear or some such undergarment show. That was kind of fun.

It's total BS.

We're talking about basic number theory. If you take an arbitrarily large segment of symbols, and those symbols are already in the correct ratios to portray meaning (which regardless of language, any selection of readible text will be), and you follow "rules" that allow you to change the lengths of lines and create matrices of words and letters of any size you want, then you are guaranteed to be able to find virtually any string of text you want if you look hard and long enough.


It's literally the same argument as the million monkeys randomly banging out the complete works of Shakespeare. The difference is that with a computer, you can get those results a hell of a lot faster.

It's the same argument with the works of Nostradamus. It's all about how people analyse and read it.

This is complete and utter ********** would like to see how some of these things are "encoded" in certain words.It makes no sense at all.Sounds like this guy just made up some random theory and bended it to fit the situations until it came out with what he wanted.

i found the meaning of life once when i ate some mushrooms heh, but the funny thing is, after the trip i forgot it. honestly i think after death is when we will "understand" everything. cause really meaning of life is just procreation, reproduce and die. that's how life works.

that post kinda reminds me of the people who see jesus in the special sauce on their hamburger from mcdonalds. but i'm sure if you read between the lines it says, in the future man will see him in pastries and fast food entrees.


i'll say bee ess

I remeber Seeing this on Unsolved Mysterys(yes i watch that show)

The Code was supposed to have The Names of the Last 1,300 popes in so many years. and The Name of Hitler and World War 2 and Junk like that. AT The end of The "Bible Code"It Said Nuclear War , In 2002 , In 2006. So I am not saying i belive in it and Im not saying I don't. Just Wanted to say this. If The Guy Is wrong.( Almost definetly is) I will just go " He is a nut case. He'll Live."

How He Got this I believe He took a letter out of Every 50 letters and put them together. Not Sure though

Does he say what translation of the Bible he used? I'd hate look like an *** during the end times because my New Revised Standard translated to "Nuklear Was, in 2004, 20E6."

All I gotta say is that any religon looking foward to the end of the world is F***ed up. Seriously, they talk about it so much its like they want it to happen. Yes, millions of people dying is something to look foward to.....man, they are asshats.

You might enjoy a set of movies called "Left Behind"

Whats the sense of worrying. Think of all the people who swore that the end of the world was coming in 2000. We are still here.

And the morons who dressed up in jumpsuits, drank their poison to ascend to the aliens that followed Hale-Bopp.

Heck for all we know we could be in Hell right now.

When we destroy the world, is it really our fault or is it Divine Judgement. This just goes into a serious debate that I am too tired to even think about right now. Sleeping pills are kicking in hehe.

But hey, it is food for thought.

I personal think it is a load of horse dung =p

Yes just read Jophs first post, the Italic words are straight from the bible and those words mean there is no possible way in any universe or dimension to know when the Lord is coming back, only God knows when(not even his son Jesus knows). And if you know about the bible then you know w/e it says is true and will never be changed, meaning God cant come down and set abunch of new rules because its already been set by him. (kinda like when you kill someone, you cant take it back or change it)

In all seriousness though. I think in the bible, in all of its numerical amazement, (read numbers, you will see what I mean) there really is no way to tell the end of it all. We are on someone elses timeline, and all we know is that will go the way that it is written, whenever it is supposed to start.

As to the original question, I say bullsh[/i]it since, in my opinion, the bible is a work of poorly written fiction anyway.

Edit: Now how christian is it to nuke the posts of all the unbelievers? Shouldn't you be trying to bring us back into the fold?
