So do you think that the evil number of the beast is 666? Well you would be wrong if you said yes. In fact due to some minutes of interned scouring and bible reading(yeah I read the entire bible in minutes) I have made a discovery in fact it is 669! I'm not too sure how everyone got 666 must have been in the translations. Anyway what is your thoughts on my amazing discovery? Am I lying to you? No.

Aha! Fun topic.

In biblical numerology the numer 6 represents chaos and if a numer is written three times it has a much higher relevance. 7 on the other hand means order and represents God.

The bible passage you are thinking of (cant be bothed to look it up) would be in Revelations and the number 666 is written on lots of evil things. But Revelations is a very very vauge book filled with symbolism that doesnt make alot of sense anymore.

The number is believed by some scholars to be a reference to the Roman Emperor Nero. "Nero," written in Aramic, is valued at 666 in Hebrew gematria.

My favorite theory on this was the VISA thing (VI in roman numerals = 6, S is sigma in greek which is 6, and A in Babylonian is 6, or so I have read). I liked it mainly because it talked about how unless you had "the mark" you couldn't buy or sell.

And also I like the idea that credit cards will damn us all.

I must apologize, but I'm unfamiliar with what you refer to you when you say QI. If you would elaborate, I would greatly appreciate it.

You may indeed be right. I'm not familiar enough with the issue to formulate a debate on the matter, but I do believe that the 666=Nero theory (or the 616=Nero theory, whatever the case may be) is hardly universal among theology scholars.

QI is a British TV Programme with the indomitable Stephen Fry (You may know him from Bones), according to the translation, the number is 616. Let me find you a linkie...

But that's the dimensional co-ordinates of Marvel-Earth! Does this mean Stan Lee is the antichrist?

*cough* I think Remag has it right. Bear in mind that Nero's horrifying mass murder of, well, anyone he didn't like and Christians in particular was going on at the time Revelations was being written. Well, the book was supposedly completed sometime around 90 A.D. and Nero's legacy was very much still in living memory.

Quite Interesting one of the most Interesting quizzes that have come to this planet through the television that is our centre of knowledge, mentioned this. They asked what the number of the beast was and Alan Davies who got it wrong (as always) got a bunch of negative points for answering 666.

Their story was that it was originally 616 but was then afterwards translated wrongly into 666 by a man who thought it would be 'simpler'.

It's pure superstition, of course, so I kind-of cringe when I heard the Europarlement has nobody sitting in chair 666 - though that may be a silly story.

And interestingly enough the fear of 666, which by definition is a phobia as it has no real ground, is called 'Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia'. People who are afraid of long words should never go to a psychiatrist when unnerved with the number 666.

actually i had one friend who had more fun, he took java and made a whole numerology thing to prove that java and yaweh were the same word in hebrew and therefore java was the ulimate in programming languages, it was pretty funny

There is nothing wrong with religion by its self, but there is a huge problem with the people who interpret it, most religions are based on the ideal that people should treat others with respect.

and don't think for a minute that I am a God-boy, I don't think that religion is needed in the modern society, it restricts progress way to much
