witches were common in those days, although their mystical abilities were never mentioned in Scripture.\n\nmiracles are the hand of God working in the physical realm.  \n\nthe book of revelations is a sign of what will happen in the future, many things can be considered metaphorical, but we must realize that back then the technology was different, they didnt have many of the things we do today, therefore couldnt describe them with "proper" terminology.  ie, the beast.  it could be a computer (there is a supercomputer im brussels by this name that was created for the purpose of storing the personal information of every human being on its hard drive.  the tracking method is said to be a chip placed under the skin in the back of the hand or the forehead [sound like the mark of the beast placement?] that can be scanned to access all information)\nezekiel is also riddled with what may appear to be mysticism, but may be an ancient man's interperetation of what he was seeing as a vision of the future.

The vast majority of Biblical Narratives are meant to be understood Kaballistically and Alchemically.\n\nThe 40 000 wandering Jews, the three traitors of the Christ, all of the Apocalypse of St. John, the planetary humanity Adam-Kadmon's expulsion from the Eden (a psychological state), etc. etc. most of this is psychological allegory.  \n\nThose who read sacred texts literally become enslaved to the mind, thinking themselves liberated at last.  It is intellectual understanding precisely which breeds castes, sects, movements, fanaticism, etc. etc.\n\nThe best resource I have ever come across in unveiling the esoteric, kaballistic, alchemistic aspects of the Bible and other sacred texts is gnosticteachings.org.\n\nI hope this helps.

Your concept of the books of the bible are totally wrong.\nThe bible writers were chosen by God and their writings weren't just added together.\nThe library as we know it, now bound together was written over nearly 6 thousand years.\nYou cannot make a holy man of yourself. If not inspired of God, nothing will happen. You would be looked on today as a KOOK and ignored

There is "prophecy" in anything people are gullible enough to believe.  Bones, Dice, Cards, Stars, Chicken guts, sayings of 'oracles' at Delphi, tea leaves.  ALL of these things prey (not pray) on the stupidity of people who want answers to the unanswerable, the future, the unresolved past.  Be a skeptic, and ask questions like this one, and do not believe anything just because "it is written", look at the bible contradictions within itself!

oh yeah, he was the guy that discovered that thing like ummm, yeah, ok hold on while I cut & paste please....\n\nHe began his professional life as a lawyer, but he has become best known as a philosophical advocate and defender of the scientific revolution. His works establish and popularize an inductive methodology for scientific inquiry, often called the Baconian method. Induction implies drawing knowledge from the natural world through experimentation, observation, and testing of hypotheses. In the context of his time, such methods were connected with the occult trends of hermeticism and alchemy.

Almost invariably, Biblical scholars are professors at universities, which involves lots of research and publication as well as teaching.\n\nBiblical scholars with strong particular faith committments and denominational affiliation often teach at church-affiliated institutions (Bible colleges, denominational colleges, seminaries and the like) in departments of Theology.\n\nBiblical scholars with no particular faith commitment or affiliation usually teach in non-church-affiliated public or private universities or colleges (state universities, private liberal arts colleges, and the like) in departments of comparative religion or religious studies.\n\nSometimes Biblical scholars are historians, sometimes they are archaeologists, sometimes they are experts in literary criticism.
