"The Bible Code" by Michael Drosnin

[Near]

Well, as I was surfing through Wikipedia, doing some research on a number of items, I came across the link to The Bible Code, a series of controversial books by Michael Drosnin.

I am quite skeptical and it probably has raised some eyebrows (no doubt that is why Wikipedia labeled it "controversial"), but, I am up to read books like these just to test out these authors. What got me was about the extraterrestrial beings that supposedly made the "code".

I would like to see some comments from anyone who has read this book, and also "Why or Why not" information on this.

For the article: http://www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bible_Code

*Please move if needed*

Thanks!

Total rubbish.

I have the book. Read it quite a few years ago.

Not worth the paper it's written on.

Hm, I see.

I agree. From the first few words I was surprised it was even called "best-selling".

I could very well be a best seller. There are many out there that are looking for something to believe beside the truth. The truth does not set well with the flesh and the world does not want to give up the flesh.

Our God would not put in hidden messages to confuse us.

I agree with you, Giaour.

If God meant for a "code" to be put in the Bible, why hasn't anyone else figured it out now?

"So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ." Romans 10:17 (New American Standard Bible)

"Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me." John 14:6 (New American Standard Bible)

"As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up;"

"so that whoever believes will in Him have eternal life."

"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life." John 3:14-16 (New American Standard Bible)

The messages are purported to be hidden in the Torah, and can be deciphered by placing the letters of various Torah passages at equal intervals in a text that has been formatted to fit inside a graph

The Message

"For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty."

"For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."

"And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount."

"We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:"

"Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation."

For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost." 2 Peter 1:16-21

Is Not Hidden

"For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified." 1 Corinthians 2:2

Even Then

"For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:" Job 19:25

Except

"But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:"

"In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them."

"For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake." 2 Corinthians 4:3-5

So

"See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men."

"Rejoice evermore."

"Pray without ceasing."

"In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you."

"Quench not the Spirit."

"Despise not prophesyings."

"Prove all things; hold fast that which is good." 1 Thessalonians 5:15-21

Oh! The B-I-B-L-E,

Yes that's the book for me.

I stand alone on the word of God,

the B-I-B-L-E!
