616

wasn't 666 debunked? i read somewhere about a year ago i think it was that 666 as the number of the beast has been discivered as being wrong. that the bible was translated incorrectly and that the actual number of the antichrist was 616 or possbily 645.

i've just found a newer article about a prof. at mcgill university that figures the number to be translated as 616.

in hebrew, 40 is the highest number.

the original old teatstament was written in hebrew.

it has subsequently been translated (out of a language which depends wholly on it's numerical references to understand it's full meaning) many many times by wealthy people with a social axe to grind.

i hardly think 666 or indeed. 616 are massively relevant to the original texts.

i would think the professor that was/is working on the translation was aware of this when he announced his findings. did you read the info on the link? there are other links related to similar findings.

Exactly. I love how people continue to revisit these moldy old documents with a new take on things, but at the end of the day whatever their stance they're still looking for conclusive proof, which they'll just never find.

the number of the beast is from the new testament (revelation).

"This is a very nice piece to find," Dr. Aitken said. "Scholars have argued for a long time over this, and it now seems that 616 was the original number of the beast."

The tiny fragment of 1,500-year-old papyrus is written in Greek, the original language of the New Testament, and contains a key passage from the Book of Revelation.

Where more conventional versions of the Bible give 666 as the "number of the beast," or the sign of the anti-Christ whose coming is predicted in the book's apocalyptic verses, the older version uses the Greek letters signifying 616.

"This is very early confirmation of that number, earlier than any other text we've found of that passage," Dr. Aitken said. "It's probably about 100 years before any other version."

The fragment was part of a hoard of previously illegible manuscripts discovered in an ancient garbage dump outside the Egyptian city of Oxyrhynchus. Although the papyrus was first excavated in 1895, it was badly discoloured and damaged. Classics scholars at Oxford University were only recently able to read it using new advanced imaging techniques

Facts smackts... facts are meaningless, you can prove anything with facts

The number of the beast is 666, and it refers not to the devil, but to Emperor Nero. 666 = Emperor Nero in gematria, a code Christians and other cultures used to denote numbers for letters. Nero was the worst oppressor of the Christians during the time Revelation was written.

like all language, there is no power in it without belief. 666, regardless of terranian history, stone tablets or other 6 numbers, has captured the imagination of morons everywhere, and that's really what's important. 666 has become 666: MARK OF THE BEAST.

too many tattoos done to this point to change huh

why not change it...they changed the bible like 100 times haven't they? give the dark side a chance too.
