THE BIBLE CODES ARE SPREADING! They have now spread to the Koran. An Islamic scholar claims America will be destroyed by a tsunami in 2007. How does he know? BIBLE CODES, OF COURSE!!

He counted verses in the Koran, finding that America will only endure for 231 years. He read several suras he thinks speak of America's sins. (Remember America was not around when Mohammed wrote the Koran.) He reached the numbers 1776, when the Declaration of Independence was signed and 231. Add those two numbers and you get 2007.

I think he threw in the tsunami because it has been in the news.

I wonder if they will have him on TBN? It would be a picture, wouldn't it. On the left, you would have the Muslim scholar in robes and head dress. In the right would be Jan Crouch with a huge pink wig, long white lace dress, clutching her handkerchief. In the middle would be Paul Crouch with his cowboy suit, white hair, and reading glasses.

Actually, I think he made a mistake. I think he should have subtracted 231 from 1776, which gives you 1545, the year the Scots, under Sir Walter Scott, defeated Henry VII's English forces at the battle of Ancrum Moor, meaning that Scotland is the promised land and the Scots are special! Yeah! My McTavish ancestors would be proud.

i dont normally say brain fart...but that's what it was...i dont know what else you call it. i'd probably laugh too if someone other than myself said it outloud...so, that's interesting...do you think that we'll (liberals) get around to claiming other texts as "Inspired" or just go on to fall from our own text as being "God breathed," and rely on everything as merely "chance and coincidence?" That all sounds scary to me. Looks like we'll have some mysticism in the Churches now...thanks TBN! i called them a month ago...my friend, brothers, and brothers friend...we chatted with the "prayer warriors" on the benny henn hotline...it was wild. i'm done! almost...i'm going to read it, make corrections and type up the Bibliography and add footnotes. Definately not my best...

I am glad you're done! Yea!

I think people will continue to water down the inspiration of scripture and embrace competing stuff. Crouch claims to have revelations equal to scripture, so does the Pope, and the Mormon president. The basic premise of Post Modernism is that the big narrtive is not necessarily true if you don't personally like it. The Cooperative Baptist Fellowship believes you can know Jesus outside the Bible. At least 10% of Americans worship The Da Vinci Code. The judges are stripping God out of society.

But, otherwise, I think things are good. :)
