Lamb's Book of Life and the Book of LIfe

[Angelo]

I read a book about the Bible Code before, written by Michael Drosnin. I'm sure you've all heard of it. "He claims that there is a code embedded in the Bible by God. The code is revealed by searching for equidistant letter sequences (ELS)."

I enjoyed reading the book.

hmmmmmmmmm????????????:confused: :confused: :confused:

[Angelo]

The book also says that by using the code we can see past, future events, and also present. Very interesting.:thumbup: :applause: :banana: :drummerbo

[FreeAtLast]

no offense, but what has that got to do with the title of this thread?
Am I missing something?

[Angelo]

It is related. If the code is true, the Book of Life is the Bible itself.

This might give you some idea about it. Many criticize, but I'm still studying it. >> Bible Code (http://www.nmsr.org/biblecod.htm#jordan)

I remember when the Bible Code came out and it was very interesting, but I wouldn't take it too seriously. If the Bible Code backs up the truth then thats good but I wouldn't put alot of stock into it. We have God's Word in the Bible and a vindicated Prophet of God and thats all we need to understand the mysteries of God. The Bible Code is interesting but I avoid taking any beliefs or doctrines out of it.

Interestingly William Branham has been found in the Bible Code ;)

Never heard that before. What did it say about him? Could you please tell some details on it?

You're right. Not fixing it in my mind that it is a belief or a doctrine. I'm just considering the things that it proves, and besides the people that are really putting their attention on it are Jews (ppl of God if I'm correct). With regards to it's relation to the Book of Life that I see is that,the Book (of Life) contains all the names that ever lived and will live and their works, and everyone will be judged accordingly. Some names will be taken out, some will be condemned, and some will be granted eternal life.

Perhaps it would be more correct to say they are God's people rather than people of God. They currently do not believe that Jesus was the Messiah (I say currently because they will of course believe it eventually) so I'm not sure they can be people of God? Thats just semantics I guess and I'm being pedantic :-p

Anyhow I can't really remember what it said about William Branham other than it said prophet also I think? Google William Branham and Bible Code, that should come up with the sites I went to, mind you that was over 2 years ago.

I dont think there is anything wrong with having a look at this type of thing.

I know there is a message believer site who did a study on the bible code.
You can view it here - http://www.nathan.co.za/studies.asp

It's a terrific site if you have never checked it out... TONS of info and sermons some from John Wesley and Martin Luther as well.

While it is all very interesting, i like the last part on the page -
"Many times we want to find the "hidden" secrets of the Bible, and choose to ignore the obvious simple facts that are plainly stated. Start doing the ABC's first, before trying to do 'algebra'"

I'll look for it if I can. Thank you for correcting me bro. I'm glad you take the time for doing so. I need that.

Any ideas you like to share about the topic?

Thank you very much Sis Chocolate for these links. They are a real eye opener. Now I have a lot of items to read I do'nt know where to start. I have found the links that say about Bro Branham and a lot more. I think I'll get busy now. Wow, thanks to you I can now study what's happening inside. I maybe late on these things, but then, nobody's too late.

Thanks God bless.

It is related. If the code is true, the Book of Life is the Bible itself.

It would be the Book of Life anyhow - regardless. As far as finding names and such in there, you could probably find Marolyn Manson, Bill Clinton, or Bob Zupedezwick given all the letters and variables in such a text as the Bible.

Can you tell I'm a sceptic?

Yes, and all the words arranged in way like that would really give a lot of possiblities. I'm beginning to realize that now, since there are other referrences or books that can have finds or codes in them pointing to an event or a name of a person.

No, I cannot say you are a skeptic. And to claim that that is the way all things will be exposed during the White Throne Judgment, I doubt it. I just don't know yet how, but, Bro Branham said that there will be like a big screen where all the works of men will be played before many. And, if it is written in the Bible that there are books (Rev 20:12) that will be opened, well, I think those books won't be in the form of a computer, will it be? :) .

This is just what I saw once being written about bro Branham and this Bible-code.

So, the name William Branham was sent to one person who knew about this method, called ELS-method and he was let to find out if the William Branham-name could be found from the codemessage of Torah. This person had no pre-thoughts, what it was believed about William Branham.

So, this is what he got from there:

William Branham is not a false prophet.

Jesus Christ is not a false prophet.

And there was then note above the name of William Branham:
Pillar of Fire

Note on the right side of his name:
Pillar of Fire

Note on the left side of his name:
Pillar of Fire

Note below of his name:
Pillar of Fire

And the name of Jesus Christ just followed the name of William Branham.

Pretty interesting, I think... :D

[JoeC]

That is pretty interesting. Can you give us your source?
