But quite honestly even that is questionable. He was just a odd person who had some really off the wall beliefs. I remember growing up listening to him and I remember that my dad would just shake his head in disbelief and say, "Where does this guy come up with this stuff?!" Was he one of the Sunday morning preachers? I remember years back that every Sunday morning we listened to different preachers on the radio...

What Old Earth Christians have you read? I have studied the first two chapters of Genesis more than any other section of the Bible. I have believed in an Old Earth as long as I've been a Christian, 35 years. Dr. Dake, Dr. Unger, and the authors of the Bible Knowledge Commentary gave me the foundation for my views that have only been strengthened over the years. I reject YEC as well as Day-Age Creationism as being inaccurate interpretations of God's word.

Anyone that doesn't spend time with God won't know Him as well as they should. I don't know but my thought is that Gematria isn't something a Christian should get involved in. Gematria, from what I can tell, takes a man-made deciphering tool and tries to fit it to scriptures. This is just my research that I have done but thought I would share it with others in case they were wondering where these numbers come from. My goal is not to debate this topic since I don't believe this whole number decoding thing lines up with scripture. I just thought it was important to put the information out there into where the decoding system originated from. Hi Jay, Did you not know that the Greek letters of " χξς " have a Gematria value of 666, and that is HOW the 666 number is derived. And I have given you a specific example the number 666 being attached to a sister verse (one in which victory is attained).

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.

Carbon is a chemical element made up of 6 protons, 6 electrons and 6 neutrons in its atomic structure. Life is carbon-based. We are all carbon-based life forms. If the number of the beast is also 666, that would mean the beast (antichrist) is human (demonically possessed). I completely agree with your assessment. When One adds up all of the evidence for the Number of the Beast, it all points to Carbon... In essence, it's "a covenant with the flesh" instead of God. I.e. Transhumanism.
