    God delights in my suffering

    God is enjoying my suffering. He made me a loser, a worthless, pathetic piece of trash, while others get to succeed and enjoy life. He's condemned me to be pathetic and worthless. I ask Him for help but never get any response. He leaves me to be alone, even though I know everyone replying will say I'm never alone and He's always with me. It's always about what he wants, and clearly he wants me to be an inferior scum, just garbage. What about what I want? What about my hopes and dreams and my need for love? No, it's all great what he's doing, letting me lie in torment, not answering my prayers, not changing anything in my life, not letting Himself be known AT ALL. Oh but he's always there, he's always helping me and wanting what's best for me, meanwhile my life is in complete shambles and I want to die. I would pray to die tonight in my sleep but I know it won't be answered. God chose to make me a loser, and doesn't care enough about my suffering to do anything about it

    Hi Worth,

    You got the wrong Idea. God is not going to deliver you from your circumstances.
    What he will do instead is renew your mind by taking away the torment
    Then you will be able  think clearly enough to make the right
    decisions that will change your circumstances.

    Like the title says. I put in the paperwork for a permit over the weekend, will buy a gun when it goes through, drive up to a mountain somewhere secluded, and blow my head off. Yes I know it's a terrible sin, but God is only watching when I do something bad, waiting to punish me. When I try to do good, He doesn't care. The essence of being a Christian is that there's no relief to suffering, but you can suffer more and more; you never get better, only worse. So I've had enough of a life that just gets worse, never better. This God who is supposedly loving, supposedly only wants good things for me, somehow lets me continue to suffer, dangling a promise of a better life that never comes. Enough already, time to end it

    This is interesting!  If these numbers add up then they do.. 

     Hi Amanda,

    We can clearly see that God is telling us the same thing
    using the Greek Gematria of χξς (Rev 13:18) when
    we look at the English Gematria of Rev 15:2

    And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory
    over the beast, + over his image, + over his mark, + over the number of his name,
    stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God. (Revelation 15:2)

    AND yes, the numbers really do add up....

    ......................................"over the beast"(140),
    ...................................+ "over his image"(131),
    ...................................+ "over his mark"(139),
    ...................................+ "over the number of his name"(256),
    .......................................140 + 131 + 139 + 256 = χξς

    ....................Here, you can easily see that Rev.15:2 is talking about
    ....................the very same NUMBER that Rev.13:18 is talking about!

    Thank you for the provoking thought, Ed.

    I got a couple of questions.

    If it was any other number, would we be any the wiser or less wise?

    And, is there anything that Gematria says about the number 666?
    (I'm not familiar with Gematria.)

    Bless God
    Paul

    Hi Harvest,

    Yes Revelation 15:2 being "THE SMOKING GUN" - showing us how to count
    ..............making clear - THE BIBLE's AUTHORSHIP - used Gematria -
    ............................COUNTED THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST
    ....................................140 + 131 + 139 + 256 = 666

    ......................................"over the beast"(140),

    Ed.    I could say the number six hundred and sixty six is .  TBC

    What would that mean to you.  Exacly.   so again what on earth is the xss .   don't say sixhundred and sixty six.    What is it .

     

    Hi Friend, Here are the facts:

    Fact #1. Put these 3 Greek letters - χξς - (600, 60, 6) into any internet Gematria calculator and you'll get 666.
    Fact #2. God inspired John the Revelator to write these three Greek letters χξς in Revelation. (2Timothy 3:16)
    Fact #3. The translators translated - χξς - to the number 666 using Gematria (as it has no word meaning)

    In Rev 13:18 we see the word number repeated thrice - indicating God intended χξς as a number.
    "Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding COUNT THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST: for
    it is the NUMBER of a man; and his - NUMBER - is "Six hundred, Threescore, and Six".

    Conclusion:
    God orchestrated the encoding of Gematria into the text of the bible (see facts above)

    Hi Friend,

    I'm speaking very specific, and you are speaking rather vague

    What specific movie are you referring to?  And what exactly

    is 'THIS' that you are referring to, that was in the movie??

    Hi Friend,

    χξς Are three Greek letters who the bible translator's translated to the number 666 using Gematria

    χ=600, ξ=60, ς=6   Is this not understandable?

    You are asking an invalid question - xss has no meaning.

    Hi Friend, (and everyone else)

    (Rev.13:18) ωδε η σοφια εστιν ο εχων τον νουν ψηφισατω τον αριθμον του θηριου αριθμος γαρ ανθρωπου εστιν και ο αριθμος αυτου χξς

    Here's how Google translates it:
    (Rev.13:18) the wisdom of the wise man I have spoken the number of the beast, the number of the man, and his number χξς (600,60,6)

    Is anybody yet still having trouble seeing this?

    Hi Friend,

    That is the point of this thread. God has orchestrated the use of Gematria in the text. This is a fact Jaydog is unwilling to accept.

    ωδε η σοφια εστιν ο εχων τον νουν ψηφισατω τον αριθμον του θηριου αριθμος γαρ ανθρωπου εστιν και ο αριθμος αυτου χξς

    .........................................................................................................χξς = 600, 60, 6

    Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding COUNT THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST:
    for it is the NUMBER of a man; and his - NUMBER - is "Six hundred, Threescore, and Six". (Rev 13:18)

    ED................................so in your mind what on earth does it mean.    just say it simple and short.  

    Hi Friend,

    OK, here you go:
    (Do you agree with these facts?)

     

    Fact #1.
    God orchestrated that these three letters "χξς" were written in Revelation 13:18    .

    Fact#2.
    God intended for the translators to translate "χξς" into a number.

    Do the math: 1 + 2 = 3

    Fact #3.
    God orchestrated the usage of Gematria in the text ...

     

    1. Do you agree with Fact #1 "Yes" or "No" ?
    2. Do you agree with Fact #2 "Yes" or "No" ?
    3. Do you agree with Fact #3. "Yes" or "No" ?

    Hi Everyone,

    Fact #1. God orchestrated that these three letters "χξς" were embedded in Rev.13:18    ...<-- The majority of Christians will agree

    Fact#2. God intended that the translators translate "χξς" into a number using Gematria   ...<-- Most will agree with this

    Do the math people: 1 + 2 = 3

    Fact #3. God orchestrated that Gematria was embedded in the text ...<-- Here is where some seem to lose their common sense

    ............................................The Apokalupsis:
    ..............................the uncovering, the unveiling, the revealing,

    It's abundantly clear that verses like Rev 13:18 and Rev15:2 present the argument that Gematria
    was used  by THE BIBLE'S AUTHORSHIP - at the bible's inception - embedded during construction.
    Because for one: the translators translated Chi-Xi-Stigma (χξς) into a number, using Gematria.
    And Revelation 15:2 being THE SMOKING GUN: counting for us the number of the beast; 666.

    Great outline! So are you in favor of 666 in the bible (Rev 13:18)? Or do those three Greek letters mean something else?

     

    Hi Abdicate,

    That is the question he keeps trying to avoid. Glad that you are asking him it as well!

    Hi Jay,

    Now will you please answer my question:

    Did you NOW acknowledge that the Greek letters "χξς" have a Gematria value of 6oo, 60, & 6,

    and that is HOW the "Six hundred threescore and six number" is derived in the AKJV Bible.

    So I looked into this number thing a while back and found some things that kind of raise some red flags for me when I read and interpret scripture. First I found that this number code thing is something called Gematria. The definition of gematria is "a Kabbalistic method of interpreting the Hebrew scriptures by computing the numerical value of words, based on those of their constituent letters."

    So I had to dig further into the definition. My curiosity was directed to the term Kaballistic which comes from the word Kabbalah. The definition of Kaballah is "the ancient Jewish tradition of mystical interpretation of the Bible, first transmitted orally and using esoteric methods (including ciphers). It reached the height of its influence in the later Middle Ages and remains significant in Hasidism. ".  

    So of course after reading this definition kabbalah I had to dig into it even further. The word Hasidism raised my curiosity yet again so I went to find out what this meant. Here is what I found. The definition of Hasidism is "an influential mystical Jewish movement founded in Poland in the 18th century in reaction to the rigid academicism of rabbinical Judaism. The movement declined sharply in the 19th century, but fundamentalist communities developed from it, and Hasidism is still a force in Jewish life, particularly in Israel and New York."

    Bottom line I don't think any of this is something that Christians should be involved with. While I do agree that more we study God's Word the more we find out who He is. That is the point. We are spending time with Him and getting to know Him better. Anyone that doesn't spend time with God won't know Him as well as they should. 

    The problem is that I find that many of those hold to Gematria tend to do deny these facts exists can actually claim that they are irrelevant to the discussion. However it is extremely relevant and to use a very mystical system to interpret God's Word is saying that the Holy Spirit does not lead us into truth but we need a secondary man-made system to find some hidden meaning in Scripture. 

    Hi Jay,

    Good job! Now can you explain the pagan origins of the English language to finish up your picture of what's in the "AKJV Bible" for us.
