And the test is clearly given in Scripture...Are they consistently correct or mostly wrong?

Biblical prophets predicted future events, correctly, every time.

Do the bible codes meet that test? Predicting future events, correctly every time? Predict, meaning to identify before hand, not after it has happended.

Do you assert the bible codes meet this same biblical criteria met by all other bible prophets?

Again,

there were two Old Testament cases where an authentic prophet of The Lord missed it.

The Codes, all the experts insist, are not to be construed as predictive--especially in terms of statistics etc.

However, it appears that God is not all that concerned about the technical details of such arguments and that The Codes have a LOT of potential to be predictive.

WHERE THE CODES HAVE BEEN HIGHLY SIGNIFICANT IN TERMS OF CRITERIA ON QUALITY, PROBABILITY ETC. AND WHERE THEY HAVE SAID SOMETHING RATIONALLY CONSTRUED AS PREDICTIVE AND WHERE THE EVENT HAS CLEARLY OCCURRED, IS PAST--THEY HAVE BEEN ACCURATE. This was true in terms of the snipers wherein if the officials had had the info from the Codes, they might well have caught the snipers a week to a few weeks earlier.

And, there appear to be some Codes about Iraq and Saddam which will likely prove true.

Certainly the capture of the biggies recently of Al Qaeda were predicted in some respects by a Code.

MOST CODES ARE VERY CRYPTIC LIKE MANY OLD TESTAMENT PROPHECIES. It is usually hard to discern what is meant until after the fact. IT SEEMS THAT GOD IS more interested in showing affirmation and that He knew beforehand than He is in using the Codes to give detailed and very specific predictions.

Certainly I believe this issue in modern authentic prophetic sources AND in the Codes will change the closer we get to the fulfillment of all the Biblical end time prophecies. I believe detail, specificity and even time details will be more and more specific and detailed and increasingly accurate as prophetic individuals are cleaned up within and in their hearing and their gifting and the operating of their gifts refined.

It's a bit cheeky for people with hostile, distant perspectives on such to have such wholesale, stern, narrow, rigid dogmas about something they have little to no experience with. RELIGIOUS SPIRITS are probably more destructive than even false prophets.

But Scripture is clear that we are to ROUTINELY TEST THE PROPHECIES ROUTINELY GIVEN IN WORSHIP MEETINGS. Perhaps you are familiar with I Corinthians. You might read 12-14. The Scriptural standard is for Believers to gather together and ALL WHO HAVE A PROPHECY TO GIVE--TO GIVE IT--AND FOR THE GROUP TO DISCERN IT AND DECIDE WHAT IS OF GOD AND WHAT NOT. It's interesting in that passage, that there is no exhortation to then go out and stone to death someone who was only 95% accurate.

Evidently according to you, God forgot to put that part in.
