Is the Bible Code really true?

[johnbond007]

I've watched and heard from television about this program claiming that they somehow decrypt the codes of the revelations of the Bible? Should we believe this?

The use of skipping a certain number of letters in the Bible (or from any text) in order to find recognizable words that might emerge from this resulting random sequence, and using these to "predict future events" is a form of divination (fortune-telling with religious undertones).

Since the Bible forbids the likes of divination or fortune-telling, and since God should not contradict himself, then applying the so-called "Bible code" this way, cannot be an intended use of the Bible.

(The point is not about divination or fortune-telling, but rather that if the Bible is to not contradict itself, it's intended use cannot be that of divination or fortune-telling.)

Some might reason, "What's so bad about warning people about the future, even if it comes in coded form?"

1. Have not God's messengers warned the people clearly enough using plain language (like in the Old Testament)? If a person cannot get the message through clear language, what hope does he or she have of getting it in a more complicated form?

2. Codes are meant to conceal a message, not to reveal it. Hence, it should not be a means of public warning. Not only is there a great chance that a person will miss the message, worse yet, he or she might conclude the opposite meaning. Why take unnecessary risks?

Just my two cents worth.

REsulta ra to sa mga tawo nga walay lingaw
sigeg tutok sa bibliya.
Madugay nimog totok naa gyud kay makit-an.
Sama kung magsige kag totok sa panganod.
Madugay naa kay porma nga makit-an
pero ang tinuod panganod ra gyud na.

I agree. God Bless You.

Cracking the Bible Code is story of epic scope in which world history, international intrigue, ancient wisdom, and cutting edge science converge. In a clear, provocative way we are shown how to understand what the codes are--as well as what they aren't--why the evidence for them must be taken as seriously as critics' objections, and--if they prove real--what they will mean for us today.
