What's a "xtian"?

It's an old shorthand that Christians used to refer to themselves.

Uh, no it isn't. Try again.

Apparently the Greek alphabet is part of your vast area of ignorance.

What is a xtain again?

If you add up the name 'George Bush' in Hebrew letters it comes out:
G = 3 (gimel)
e = 5 (heh)
o = 70 (ayin)
r = 200 (resh)
g = 3 (gimel)
e = 5 (heh)
B = 2 (beth)
u = 70 (ayin)
s = 300 (shin)
h = 8 (cheth)
total = 666 (Antichrist)
I challenge anyone to find another powerful world leader, either now
or in the past, whose name adds up to 666 in Hebrew.

So perhaps he's the angel of apocalypse...

WELCOME TO THE JUNGLEhttp://webspawner.com/users/donquijote
THE BANANA REVOLUTION ;)http://webspawner.com/users/donquijote40

As a Catholic I don't go in for this business of adding up various
codes, but I do believe there will one day be an anti-Christ, who will
simply be a world dictator, with an agenda to destroy Christianity and
the Church in particular. Today's technology would be a considerable
boon. Imagine Adolf Hitler with today's computer technology. There'd
be no escape.
To the ancient Jews seven was the perfect number, and the writers of
the New Testament were either Jewish or were taught by the Jewish
apostles. John was a Jew.
Six falls short of seven. In other words, the anti-Christ will simply
be a man, who will seem to have all the answers, but in actual fact
falling short of perfection in body, mind and soul. That's all the
666 means, in my interpretation. It doesn't give a single clue as to
his identity and it isn't meant to. I suppose I am as amused as you
are by trying to identify the person by some sort of numerical
chicanery.
Nevertheless I do believe he's around today, for the simple reason
that we are for the first time in history able to create a one world
dictatorship due to technology being advanced enough. I also believe
that terrorism is going to create the conditions where people will
trade away their civil rights in exchange for "security". As for the
"mark of the beast", I have a booklet at home called "Issues for a
Cashless Society", which was produced by a "Committee for the Future"
and chaired by an atheist. In it the statement is made that the best
way to monitor a person's movement's without their being aware of it
would be the compulsory use of eletronic money. They'd know what you
bought, where you had breakfast, which nightclubs you visited, where
you filled up and how much, how far you could travel on that amount of
fuel etc.
However in a debate on another forum I lifted off the web an article
in The Observer, already five years old, where a proposal had been
made to put chips in paedophiles so they could be monitored by
satellite. "No one could buy or sell ...." etc.- that technology is
already here, although it probably needs fine tuning before it becomes
available. And why the hand or forehead? If you're going to wave
something like a bar code reader over a person's body to extract
information from a hidden chip, then the hand and forehead would be
the most accessible and least intrusive parts to reach.
As to "forcing everyone, great and small" to accede to this
compulsion, how would this be done? I personally believe it will be
nuclear blackmail, backed up by invincibility to nuclear attack by
anyone else. In other words, if a certain nation becomes reluctant,
blow away a couple of their major cities. The rest will soon toe the
line.
As far as I can see the USA is the most likely place for this to
happen. As for this being impossible in Protestant America, Hitler by
and large got a lot of support from Protestants. All it would take is
a situation desperate enough. How's your Star Wars going? Gotten to
the point where you're nearly invincible to outside attack, other than
by smuggled nuclear weapons or low flying cruise missiles?
That's my thought. I agree with you that the coding is a joke. But I
also believe the writer of Revelation had a real vision, since he
lived in an age when the world hadn't even been discovered in large
measure, and the technology to monitor people by inserting devices
readable by satellite if necessary, and insertable in hand or
forehead, was still nearly 2000 years off. He also mentioned the sun
burning men's skin. For while now we've had news of the ozone layer
receding, and the sun getting warmer, along with global warming. It
seems to me that's a few too many coincidences to be purely
happenchance.
To say nothing of the portent of the woman in heaven (chapter 12),
already fulfilled at Fatima and Akita, less than a century ago.- Hide quoted text -

Probably the easiest site to view the photos. No doubt you're
familiar with them, and have probably rubbished them in the past.
However I'd like to know what the odds are of at least 4 different
appearances of Satan appearing in the same event,

Given that these "appearances" are such only if one is predisposed to
believe that they are, I don't see how you could even calculate odds.
There's no finite set of arrangements that would characterize all such
"appearances", since the person interpreting the image will make of it
what they will.

The devil doesn't exist?. Doesn't he? Why do you think the history of
the human race has been one long litany of war and instability?

Because humans accepted the trade off that resulted from agriculture. It
allowed us to maintain very high population density, but it also
resulted in territorial wars and malnutrition. When you concentrate
power (by controlling food sources) in social elites, you create an
inherently volatile situation. One elite will always want to take what
another elite has, and so they'll use the tools at hand to do so
(namely, the people and weapons under their control).- Hide quoted text -

In fact, it is well known that the world will end when the antichrist
(666) crosses the trinity (3). That means it will happen in

666 x 3 = 1998.

So you'd better prepare.

Oh *****, that happened already, didn't it!
