[QUOTE="pauli, post: 16676, member: 88"] [b]The Bible Code[/b] Hi Virtualgirl, Having spent the past few years with awareness of the Bible Code, or Equidistant Letter Sequencing codes of the Torah, I can only say that the whole thing is very amazing. Because of my involvement in Jewish circles, I was aware of Bible Codes prior to Drosnin's book being published. There are many codes, found specifically in the first five books of the Bible, that are truly hair-raising and pretty awesome. Unfortunately, to get the full impact of them, it helps if you can read and understand Hebrew. That is when things really come alive for you. I cannot imagine how opaque looking at a slide presentation, or book page, must be for someone who cannot see the words and understand them by just looking at the passage. It has so much more impact when you can read it for yourself and are not relying on someone telling you that this word, or passage, really means... That being said, I must put forth a word of caution to you. If you wish to learn and study Bible codes, do it correctly.

So, beware ;) ; don't be taken in by that sort of thing, and don't give those findings any sort of credence. As to the initial article written up in said Journal (listed above), the original people who researched and wrote the article put forth a challenge at the end of their written work. They said that if anyone could refute their findings, or offer an explanation as to how this apparently random ELS event could be found consistently throughout the first five books, that they would pay that person a large sum of money.
