Torah soft , or some other type? If so did you find anything worth talking about?
The problem is not with the software
“Bible code”? It’s all worthless, software or not. A fraud. Well, multiple frauds, given how long various versions have been around.
It only “works” when you already know what to look for, in other words, Woo Woo.
If there were a very certain formal letter-by-letter version of “The Bible,” then, maybe. But there are too many ambiguities. For instance, ancient Hebrew (as I understand it) doesn’t have vowels, but sometimes has vowel marks, where the vowels would go. Do these count as letters, or not? And does Hebrew have spaces between words? The typical “Bible Code” analysis leaves out the spaces…but is this valid? Do you include the titles of books? (Do original Hebrew books even have titles written?)
Just for fun, to kill some time, I analyzed Daniel Defoe’s “A Journal of the Plague Year,” taking out all the spaces and punctuation, to see if my name would come up. I used all the letter-spacing and starting places I could. Alas, nope. I’m not in “The Plague Year” code. This may be a good thing.
I wanted to do the same for Tolkien’s “Silmarillion,” but couldn’t find a flat text file.
If I might make a suggestion-Just sit down and read the book.
That’s so…so…ostensible.
And I have read it .I just find God fasinating . If this code really works then I would like to dig even deeper into his word.
Trouble is…it doesn’t. It doesn’t work worth a clam.
In any large book, if you examine every N characters, starting from character M, for all values of N and M, you will end up getting some hits. You’ll find words and phrases. This is true if you examine the Bible, or Kipling, or The Naked Lunch, or Harry Potter. It’s just the way things work. You’ll get lots and lots of meaningless letter combinations, and the occasional rare coincidental word.
Heck, it works if you just scan the phone book.
It’s a fun game to play, if you simply look at it as mindless entertainment. The same is true of the Ouija Board. If you are bored, and like to shove the planchette around, well, no harm. But it won’t put you in touch with dear departed Uncle Filbert. And Bible Code toys won’t put you in touch with the mind of God.
Prayer might (although I personally do not believe in it.) Some people say they see God when they take drugs. (I hold this to be a really silly idea…and dangerous, too.)
If you process the code all the way through it always gives you the same message.
Be sure to drink your Ovaltine.
That was AWSOME! I laughed so hard I had tears!
Maybe I will just get a pet rock. Thank you
Sorry, Dex. It was late and I missed that it was a Staff Report.
('Course, the Master trained you good.)
Low maintenance, low cost, and very useful in squishing bugs…
More seriously, take up the hobby, not only of reading the Bible, but also of reading Bible commentary. Go for breadth. Find some that are conservative, some that are liberal, some that are faith-based, and some that are skeptical. I have a substantial collection, and I’m always adding to it. I vigorously disagree with more than half of what I have read…but I keep reading.
Also…why stop with the Bible? The Koran is a very small, short, easy-to-read book. You could probably polish it off in a day or two. The Book of Mormon…um…not so much, but I’ve gotten through parts of it!
I actually have used the software on my own computer-
After watching a movie about Joan of Arc- I searched for her under her real name then another version- I finally found her under the term 'Joan of arc" attached to her was the terms Evie and Michael- Michael being the angel that guided her on her path- evie possibly referring to the soul that came back to do that work for god-
Also you can find terms like trinity and father and son in close proximity- Michael being here at the time of crucifixion- because the Michael matrixes also contain evie and barabass- also Diapers (which suggests that’s not a sash he was wearing)
I did here from the divine - although most would not necessarily believe- as he explained it - The book is a living breathing instrument of time and space- it becomes encoded with the decisions we make- It is in essence his book of life.
there have been plenty of other things that I have found- but those are a few of the examples- just food for thought
Not enough food there to choke an inchworm with laryngitis. Nobody has ever predicted anything of substance using the Bible Code.
actually a few things have been stopped thanks to it-
and I have actually used the software- its very difficult to predict if it becomes a record of the past and the choices you made-
Such as…?
Every serious Bible scholar I have ever read that talked about it said it’s a sham, it’s a hoax, it’s a fraud. No.
