Movie Thread: II

[Tassatul]

Or twice every day at 7:16. Which is kinda like saying 6:66. . .

Religious horror movies are rediculous. They constantly demonstrate a complete lack of understanding of God's Word. The only reason i would consider watching any of them is that the idiots in the movie get killed.

Man, today has been one of the most productive days for me this summer so far. I managed to wake up early; the weather was great; I managed to bike outside for once; wash the bathrooms; put up a bulletin board on my wall; water the plants and weed the garden; etc. This day feels pretty good for a 6/6/06. Lol, guess what, Chandu's birthday is today as well, hehe. I thought that was amusing.

Or that the bible mentions 666, not as a date, but as a mark on peoples' foreheads/hands...

I was gonna say that the Bible never mentioned that 666 appears as a mark on peoples' foreheads/hands, but in my quick little research I discovered a passage saying just that (Revelations 13:16). It says that the antichrist will put his mark on those who worship him during his reign of the end times. I got a little lesson for yah too.


"Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for the number is that of a man; and his number is six hundred and sixty-six," (Rev. 13:18).

666 is the number of the antichrist, the end times figure who will arise with the purpose of opposing God and God's people. Its the gamatria of the name of the antichrist. In Greek and Hebrew there are no numeric characters. There are only alpha characters. For example, the letters a, b, c, d, e, f, etc. are alpha characters. The numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, etc., are numeric characters. They are different -- except for the letter "o" and the number "0". When the Greeks wanted to write a number, they used letters for numbers. The Greek letter "alpha" had the numeric equivalent of 1. The next letter "beta" has the numeric equivalent of 2, and so on. Therefore, whenever a word in Greek is written, because the letters are also numbers, every word has a numeric value. This numeric value is called a gematria. The Greek word for Jesus (IhsouV) has a mathematical equivalent of 888. Also, the Greek word for fish is 1224. What the Bible is saying is that the future antichrist will have a name that when it is written in Greek, its numeric equivalent will be 666.

This exerpt comes straight to you from www.carm.org.

"Let him who has understanding reckon with the number of the beast for it is a human number. It's number is six hundred and sixty-six."

Sorry, had to do it. I don't know if it's from anything special originally, but it is at the beginning of Iron Maiden's "Number of the Beast" song.

What's really ridiculous is that everyone was so caught up in the 6/6/06 that everyone entirely forgot that it was the anniversary of D-Day. I watched a tv program all about Normandy.

[BugHunter]

Shoot, it was? I completely forgot.

Or we could just watch the movie and enjoy it, instead of picking apart the details ;D By the way, Omen was pretty good. A nice mixture of some believeable religious connections, a bit of suspence, and gore. The very beginning was neat, they had like a Vatican meeting discussing the Armaggedon, making connections between scripture (i imagine, I dont know if it was really bible stuff or not) and real life occurances. (The one i remember was about fire and stone falling from the sky, and they had a video of the trade center burning. Oh and something about the seas rising up, with video from the tsunami.)

The only part that kinda broke parts of the movie was the kid. He would get all squinty-eyed and then something bad would happen. Unfortunately, it was more comical than frightening sometimes. Oh well.

Thats kinda neat with the numbers Francis. Would that be like saying my name is equivalent to 14113 (a=1, d=4, m=13), or my name is equal to 19? (a+d+a+m)?

Wow. I found that really interesting, and I began translating a bunch of greek letters into number.

Unfortunatly, try as I might, I couldn't see how the greek version of Jesus converts into "888" (Added, the letters equal 89. Multiplied it was in the hundred-thousands). I was using the original greek name, and I was assuming that each letter has a value of its place in the alphabet (IE, alpha=1, beta=2, etc).

So I couldn't find the proper method of converting letters to numbers. Oh well. Maybe its not something I should be trying to figure out

On the boondocks once (If you watch that show) they pointed out that Ronald Wilson Reagan, each name has 6 letters, and that makes him the devil.

[BugHunter]

the gammatria of "Jesus" in Greek is 888 because i = 10, h = 8, s = 200, o = 70, u = 400, s = 200

Here's a link to Hebrew and Greek numerical equivalents: www.carm.org/bible/greek_hebrew_letters.htm

by my calculations, "adam" (even though its not in Greek) equals 46 -- a=1, d=4, m=40 -- 1+4+1+40 = 46. How did u get m=13?

Oooh, lets see what my name is -- "francis" = 500+100+1+50+600+10+(s = either 6 or 200) = 1461 or 1267


www.carm.org/questions/numbers.htm

[Cobra5]

M is the 13th letter in the alphabet.

Thanks for this new link, I'm gonna play around with it

[Jalathas]

Mine adds up to 1497. I should start signing my papers with that.

[Tassatul]

Awww, my number consists of only two digits. Im not cool.


Oh snap.

(s = either 6 or 200)

So like. . . the Solid Snake Simulation is the work of the devil.

[BugHunter]

eh? oh. Well if u go by the formula for the first initials -- S+S+S = (6+6+6) or (200+200+200) = 18 or 600.

[Cobra5]

"William" adds up to 921 (Assuming W is Omega, which looks the same but makes different sounds).

[daft alchemist]

Actually, the S has a V next to it, so I think the 6 applies to S and the 200 applies to V. Anyways, my full name equals 609. So many A's in my name, and they're only a value of 1.

[Cobra5]

Haha mine's still better.

[BugHunter]

For s and V, I guess its the context that its used. They're both sigma.

To bad none of us have actual Greek name spellings.
