"the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: with whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication." (Rev. 17:1-2 KJV)\nSounds like a party to me!

People like to play with numbers...some associated it with the 666 in the Bible.  It was rather silly really...

First of all, you are to be commended for struggling to find the truth amidst misinformation and predjudices! Titus 2:7 says in "all things show yourself uncorrupted in your teaching,showing seriousness and speech which cannot be condemned, so that the man on the opposing side may get ashamed,having nothing vile to say about us." So keep up the good work!     When I study my Watchtower, I read it once, just to read it.Then I go through it with my daughter and we answer the questions together. The third time I go through it, I look up the scriptures mentioned and usually write them in the margins of my magazine. That way,even later, I can always go back and look in that magazine and see at a glance what scripures were brought out,the definitions of any words I did not understand or the pronunciation of any Biblical name I couldn't get right( which I also write in the margins) I also underline in pencil (I use colored pencils,different colors have different meanings for me)the scriptures in the Bible that have any sort of special meaning for me.  These are just MY studying methods;you will come into your own in time!! Good luck to you,and your efforts to come into the truth please Jehovah God more than you could know!!  By the way, real Christian-like ,your comments,Rev,Kipp. I'm sure God is real proud of you...

66 books of the bible? (Maybe)

Sorry, I disagre with you.\n\nThe "Living Bible" is the most horrible translation I've ever seen.\n\nWhen I compared 8 texts I quickly threw the "Living Bible" out of the equation as just bring too off from the rest of the texts I was reading.\n\nAlso, have you studied Ancient Greek and Anceint Hebrew and looked at the scroll and Codex yourself!\n\nDo you AGREE with all the translators!\n\nIf the Quran shows us anything, it shows us how three different translators can't agree on the ancient texts!\n\nThey sometimes come close, but they don't fully agree with all the phrasings.\n\nI'd say the Judeo-Christain Bible can easily fall into the same conflicts!\n\nI came up with a ficitious Diary entry of a Girl in the late 1960s or early 1970s.\n\n"We went to the Dead show at Winterland and had a bitchen time!"\n\nNow, you translate that!\n\nLet's see just how well you know your 1970's trivia!\n\nTELL ME exactly What she said and meant.  DEFINE every word and phrase.\n\nI know the answers, but only Dead-Heads can translate that.\n\nNow, what do you do in 500 years!\n\nThe same exact thing applies to the Bible and Quran!\n\nYou sort of have to be there to know what was REALLY meant!

Not many horses, not many wives, not much wealth.\n\nKing Solomon completely mucked this up: 1 Kings 10-11\n-1,400 chariots, 12,000 horses\n-700 wives (usually for political reasons), 300 concubines\n-25 tons of gold PER YEAR\n\n\nNo, it doesn't say one wife. It says a king should not acquire a large number of wives or a large number of horses or a lot of money. He was supposed to write himself a copy of the law (and read it!).\n\nI guess the main point is many wives would be a distraction to the king from his devotion to the LORD. Also, in the ancient middle east the kings wives were considered a type of wealth, so I guess you could associate it with the money and horses (also of military importance). God didn't want the king to be self-relient (on military and wealth and power), but relient on Him.\n\nOT references to monogamy are pretty vague, however Adam, Abraham (sort of), and Moses (who wrote down these instructions for kingly conduct) had only one wife. God did not create many wives for Adam. Only one. His original plan was that a man and woman should become as if one body (Genesis 2:24).\n\nThe first record of polygamy Genesis 4:19 Lamech is an outsider, a decendent of Cain, who considered God would bless him for murdering young folks! This practice spread around, but was never considered good.

The verse from the Bible that refers to 666 is   "Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number [is] Six hundred threescore [and] six." (Rev 13:18).  \n\nIt is in reference to the first beast in Revelation 13.  In the Bible, a beast represents a nation, kingdom or empire.  But since this verse says that it "is the number of a man", it it talking about the leader of that nation. \n\nThe best way to truly identify the nation and its leader is to study the characteristics of that first beast and history.  This beast is also the same as the "little horn" mentioned in Daniel chapter 7.  (Daniel and Revelation are very closely related and will help you to gain a better understanding if studied together.)\n\nThe early protestant reformers believed that the beast represents the Vatican (which is a nation) and the leader is the Pope.  \n\nAn interesting note is that the official title of the Pope is "Vicarius Filii Dei" (Vicar of the Son of God).  When his title is converted into roman numerals and the numerical values are added, the total comes to 666.  This happens also when the Pope's official title is converted into the other languages that assign numerical values for the characters of the alphabet; Greek and Hebrew are the other languages that do this, and in each one, the total is 666. \n\nIs this a mere coincidence or were the early protestant reformers right?  (Another note; they were called "Protestants because they were protesting against the cruelties, corruptions and abuses of the Roman Catholic Church.)\n\nAnother point about this mark, is that it most likely will not be a visible mark on the skin, even though the Bible  mentions that it wwill be on the hand or on the forehead.  The mark is received as a matter of worship. (See Revelation 13:15 and Revelation 14:9, 10.)  \n\nWe can see the political swing toward more conservative views, and there are some that believe that this swing will lead to a law in which the people of this country and the world will beforced to go to church, and if you don't then you will be prohibited from conducting business and will eventually be killed.  (The Bible has an example of this in Daniel chapter 2.)\n\nThe best advise that I can give is to study the Bible carefully.  There are many people, even ministers, who will try to tell you what it means, but the explanations often go against the simple words of the Bible; don't believe these people.

There's a lot of it in Revelation (1:4, 2:7, 2:11, 2:17, 2:29, 3:6, 3:13, 3:22).\n\nThis sort of thing is easy to find on any of the good Bible search sites like biblegateway and others.

Scott, I do agree with you.  However, I do find things like this to be very interesting, and it is amazing to find how some things do relate to each other symbolically.  I'm not entirely sure of the accuracy of these, but I think that they are correct.  \n\n1=God, begining, source, unity, first.\n2=number of witness (in the mouth of two or more witnesses), friendship\n3=Godhead, trinity, divine completness, perfect testimony\n4=number of earth, creation, world, four gospels, four winds, four seasons, four corners of the earth.  \n5=grace, atonement(this is probably the meaning you were referencing), life, the cross, five-fold ministeries. \n6=number of man, beast, satan, idol.\n7=perfectio, completness, number of book of Revelation, finished, day of rest, (used 600 times in the Bible)\n8=resurrection, new beginings, put on new man.\n9=harvest, ministry, fullness, friutfullness, number of gifts of the Holy Spirit(maybe that are mentioned???), number of birthing(baby born in 9 months).\n10=number of law, order, government, restoration, antichrist kingdom, trial, testing, responsibiblity, tithe\n11=incompletness, disorganization, disintegration, disorder, lawlessness, need for apostolic fullness (11 apostles after Judas hanged himself).\n12=divine government, apostolic fullness.\n13=rebellion/backsliding, apostacy\n14=passover\n15=spiritual order\n16=free spirit, without bounderies, without limitation, without law therefore without sin ROMANS 4:15, salvation.\n17=spiritual void\n18=put on jugdment, destruction, captivity, overcome put on spririt of Christ (Judges 10:7-8, Luke 13:4, 3:11, 16)\n19=barren, repentant, ashamed, selflessness, without self rightousness (2 Samuel 2:30, Romans 6:21).\n20= can either mean holy, tried and approved or unholy and found wanting.\n24=priestly courses, govermental perfection\n30=consecration, maturity for ministry(I would guess this is because Jesus began His ministry at age 30)\n40=probation, testing, ending in victory or defeat.\n50=number of pentecost, liberty, freedom, jubilee.\n70=prior to increase of representive of a multitude.\n75=number of separation, cleansing, purification.\n100=fullness, full measure, full recompense, full reward, ect. (Genesis 26:12, Mark :10:30)\n120=end of all flesh, beginning of life in the Spirit.\n124=number of God's ultimate in creation and redemption.\n163=number of God's electm revival, ingathering, harvest.\n300=number of faithful remnant.\n666=antichrist, satan, beast.\n1000=maturity, full stature (Isaiah 17:33,5, Ephesians 4:13)\n\nThese are the numbers that I know of, I'm not sure of the valitidy of all of them, but I hope this helps!  These are fun to look at tho, even tho they aren't the whole purpose of the Bible, keep that in mind.  But is IS interesting to see how things weave together, and it is another proof that the Bible was inspired by God, not randomly written by a bunch of different men.  \n\n2 Timothy 3:16\n\n  All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training is righteousness.\n\n\nGod bless!!

It is obvious that you have a misunderstanding of the bible.  I am a bible study teacher and my bible says to honor and love my wife.  \nI don't know what you mean by "against women".  The bible is against sin, not gender.  \nCan you point out a specific example as to where it is against women?\n\nI would say that the world today is against women. God created women and loves them just as much as He loves men.\nThe world teaches to treat women like sex objects, teaches men to use women for entertainment, teaches men to lust after women and treat them like toys.  It teaches men to just get laid and not give women the honor of marriage.  \n\nThe bible is against all of those things.  Look at someone like Madonna.  She treats herself like a whore and teaches young women to do the same by her bad example.  Yet she is honored by the world and the bible is condemned.  I find that a bit hypocritical for those who accuse the bible of being male chauvinistic and applaud these famous whores.\n\nI'm sorry, but the bible really teaches men to honor, respect and love women.  \n\nPlease give me an example that you are referring to and I will explain the verse.\n\nAdam and Eve:\nEve did tempt Adam and ate the fruit (not apple) first and then gave Adam to eat.  But God gave the harsher punishment to Adam because he was responsible.  So how is that against women?\n\nadded:\nI think you're confusing bible law with the historical portion of it.  The bible is not just a guide to life, the Word of God and God's law for us.  It is also a history book.  The things you are describing are historical accounts that happend and the bible recorded it.  It doesn't mean that we should behave that way.  When the prostitue was about to be stoned, Jesus stopped them because their judgment was not correct.  He was preventing them from being unjust.\nThere is much recorded in the bible to explain how we shouldn't be as well as how we should.  \nThe Song of Solomon is an entire book dedicated to honoring your wife.  \nEve messed up.  Do you feel that women shouldn't be punished because they're women?  That's a little one sided.  And whether you belive it happened or not, it doesn't matter.  It happened that way.  The author was there to record the account so I think he knows better than us whether the story happened that way or not.\nJesus died for women as well as men.  There is no prejudice here.\nI think you are upset because God gave men the role of authority over women.  Sorry if you feel that way, but that's the way it is.  It doesn't mean that men are better or smarter.  It just means that men have more responsibility in the house of God.\nIf you have a problem with that, you can blame Eve.  Women were not put into a position of submission until after the fall of man.  Before that, it was not so.\nAnd I'm sorry if you think that Eve has the greater punishment, but you're wrong.  Man's punishment is to bear the responsibility for everything.  Have you ever noticed that women are not held accountable for their actions nearly as much as men are?\nAnd as far as pregnancy is concerned, I have not met one woman who would give up that blessing.  They have a connection with their child that men will never understand which much more than makes up for their pain.\nPersonally, if I could get away with half the things that women do, I'd be a very happy person.\n\nYou are just looking for an excuse to not believe in God.  You have chosen the chauvinistic fallacy excuse.  That's one of many you could have went with.  \nAll I can say to you is that you are brainwashed into believing that lie.  You should try to study the Word instead of attacking it.  You get much more out of it that way.\n\nJesus loves you,\nI think people do that because they're angry at God.  They are hurting and want to be healed.  They attack God and His followers because they think that it is us who hurt them.  They ha

That's actually a really interesting question, and I'm afraid I don't have much time to fully answer it, but I'll give you a basic overview.\n\n\nBack when all the texts were compiled and what should (or not) be included in the New and Old Testaments was decided, some of the texts were left out.\nWhile some were fully censored and destroyed (for example, the newly discovered "Gospel of Judas"), others were simply censored or adapted.\nThe existence of Nephilim was one of those situations, where the scriptures were slightly censored and therefore some rare references to generally unknown things can be read in there. Never heard of Lilith? That's another example of a removed text.\n\nWhile in the link I'll provide below there is some information about your subject, you could also try to read the "Dead Sea Scrolls" or "Apocrypha", as they have some of the texts that were cut out and (perhaps) provide more information on Nephilim.

Read an article on this. It was rather interesting, it gave examples from both the New Testament and the Old as well as other Jewish texts.
