There is an inherant flaw in the whole Bible Code idea. It is essentially a post hoc argument-- one that can only be made after the fact. It is not a prediction unless it can be tested.

I can look back at an event like 9/11, set my Pentium loose on the Torah and voila! I can find something that seems to predict the two towers would crash. Amazing! Proof that a supernatural Deity wrote that book!

Except, consider. One can find similar "predictions" if one analyzes the text of Moby Dick. (It's been done.) These codes are a figment of the imagination of religious math whizzes.

You want a prophecy, read the words in English. Daniel, Isaiah, Ezekiel -- those guys made prophecies that tell us a lot about who Jesus Christ would be, and when He would come. Codes? We don't need no stinkin' codes.

You need to update your education and awareness with the MARCH Bible Code Digest.

Your assertions have been shown conclusively at this point, to be false depending on criteria etc.

The latest experiment was exceedingly even handed between WAR AND PEACE and The Bible. There were surprises for both proponents and skeptics but The Bible STILL won hands down.
