Most Christians believe that the world is six thousand years old but I have seen living trees that were older than that.
everything in the universe is ruled by numbers including life itself.

Well The truth is God has conspired to make us look stupidedit on 19-3-2014 by allthings2allmen because: (no reason given)edit on 19-3-2014 by allthings2allmen because: (no reason given)
You can imagine what kind of genius it would take to tell a story on the surface and hide a mathematical code inside so complex that it could only be counted some four thousand years latter when computer allow this process.
One reason that Bible Codes have gone out of fashion is that mathematicians and statisticians have thoroughly, completely and convincingly disproved them. For example, Barry Simon of the Caltech mathematics department has shown that any sufficiently large text will have similar letter patterns in it. Famously, the same algorithms used in the Bible Codes yielded similarly “prophetic” results when used on Hebrew translations of “War and Peace.”
Indeed, when, in 1997, popular author Michael Drosnin (who wrote a book on the subject) challenged critics to find the same “prophecy” regarding the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin in “Moby Dick” as Bible Codes folks had found in the Bible, Australian computer scientist Brendan McKay did just that, and for good measure he found letter arrangements predicting the assassinations of Trotsky, Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr.
In other words, the Bible Codes are bunk.

I could post some appetizers before desecrating the bible.
Well, it’s a good thing the Bible Codes are nonsense, because that reactionary theology is the same toxic brew that has brought us fundamentalism, crusades and jihads. What the Bible Codes hawkers are teaching is not just pseudoscience, but also fanaticism. Bible Codes a Lie That Won’t Die
Desecrate definition:
treat (a sacred place or thing) with violent disrespect; violate.
Therefore you believe the bible is a sacred thing and the desire of your heart is to treat it with violent disrespect. Yes, we are seeing a pattern emerge here....

I agree with the article, what you are attempting to teach is fanaticism, based on a lie. Yes, I agree with you when you said God wanted to make some people appear stupid [apparently not all since God's co-conspirators were the humans who wrote the bible]... anyone who teaches fanaticism is a danger to the unsuspecting, and should be confronted for what they really are.

Just more amazing BULL# from the "infallible" Bible ...
Now here is an interesting question. If we worship the law as if was God have we not made an idol out of the law? The beast is the non spiritual human that has lost his connection with the spirit of God in him. He makes up for it with religions to appear to be spiritual in public but in private they bare carnal as a beast. Anything that places God outside of yourself is idolatry. Oh my God!

The motto to "deny ignorance" seems gone off the rails in the OPs but not the responders.
In that I find hope and pride in ATS that a "promoted ignorance" is seen as it is.
Disinformation is tolerated but truth is not. Maybe we will get some believers out of that expedition.
