If I observe others getting $100 for free and don't tell anyone else, then where am I? Wouldn't I just be laughing hysterically at those that don't know. Well, the bible says to avoid laughers, so I'll let you know.

While on the subject... I heard on the local metal station the other day that ancient translations of the beast - 666 - are actually -616-. Google "666 616" and one will find a heafty argument about it.

I found a lot of arguments about the both numbers .... I have't heard about 616 before ... but now I do ... this link captured almost all my interests ...

I tried that link a few times but can't see it today. On a comical side (at least to me) the Church of Satan stated they would change if they need to. That is, if the church of christ changed their interpretation. I apologize for lack of linkage but I read these a few days ago. The official stance of the Catholic Church seems, at present, to deny the translation.

Revelation! 666 is not the number of the beast (it's a devilish 616)
By Tom Anderson

01 May 2005

A newly discovered fragment of the oldest surviving copy of the New Testament indicates that, as far as the Antichrist goes, theologians, scholars, heavy metal groups, and television evangelists have got the wrong number. Instead of 666, it's actually the far less ominous 616.

The new fragment from the Book of Revelation, written in ancient Greek and dating from the late third century, is part of a hoard of previously unintelligible manuscripts discovered in historic dumps outside Oxyrhynchus in Egypt. Now a team of expert classicists, using new photographic techniques, are finally deciphering the original writing.

Professor David Parker, Professor of New Testament Textual Criticism and Paleography at the University of Birmingham, thinks that 616, although less memorable than 666, is the original. He said: "This is an example of gematria, where numbers are based on the numerical values of letters in people's names. Early Christians would use numbers to hide the identity of people who they were attacking: 616 refers to the Emperor Caligula."

The Book of Revelation is traditionally considered to be written by John, a disciple of Jesus; it identifies 666 as the mark of the Antichrist. In America, the fundamentalist Christian right often use the number in sermons about the coming Apocalypse.

They and satanists responded coolly to the new "Revelation". Peter Gilmore, High Priest of the Church of Satan, based in New York, said: "By using 666 we're using something that the Christians fear. Mind you, if they do switch to 616 being the number of the beast then we'll start using that."

Wonder what else got mis-interpreted.

//EDIT - well it is certainly fascinating. Here is a pic of the actual parchment from a site in the UK.

That qoute by Gilmore is what I found comical in a twisted sense, becayse he doesn't care what the translation is, as long as it's feared. I like the greek pronunciation chi, xi, stigma. The greeks used poetry, anagrams and cypher it may be another century before we figure out all literals or probabilities that an anagram is correct. (if not literally translated)

UN resolution 666 EU recommendation 666

To find the true numbers you'll need to talk to Charon, who will take you to Faustus, who will walk you through Valhalla. Then through a portal you'll enter a Dungeon and Dragons game in the back of a baseball card shop. There you can ask the 666 questions to the Dungeon Master.
