I don't think the Revelations

I don't think the Revelations nonsense is relevant, but implanted RFID chips are certainly risky. They can be tracked and hacked, so basically your privacy is gone.

Our dog has an RFID chip, but we didn't put her credit card details on it. Just the name and address of the beast.

This ^^^^^^^^ is why I won't

This ^^^^^^^^ is why I won't get one... Not because of some wild hippy's tale of his acid trip.

Spudnik - Hi everyone long

Spudnik - Hi everyone long time no see was just wondering what you lot think about the RFID chip and the mark of the beast mentioned in revelations its kinda creepy.

Well the Christians have already told us that the following are the mark of the beast:

Is it OK if we don't take them seriously this time?

I think you:

1) Don't understand what Sweden is doing or are grossly misrepresenting it, if you're equating with the superstitious flimflam in revelation.
2) Are applying the definition "creepy" in a wildly subjective and capricious way.
3) That you seem to be implying significance to unevidenced superstitious flimflam in the bible, without offering a shred of objective evidence for your assumption.
4) That superstitious claims from a bronze or iron age tom don't justify explanation from those who refuse to believe them as they are unevidenced.

I've been wondering if anyone

I've been wondering if anyone has added up Donald Trump to see if it totals 666 or 696. (the numerology values of the letters in his name)

Whichever way I add him up,

Whichever way I add him up, the answer is always zero.

Well simple numerology value

Well simple numerology value of letters, basic math makes that impossible, Donald John Trump is 15 letters, to add up to 666 each value on average would have to be 666/15 = 44.4 An average that is higher than letters in the alphabet.

Perhaps: "president of the united states donald john trump" could get somewhere close. I am sure however play with the numbers and letters enough and you could probably arrive at 666 or 696, but of course we all know it really does not mean much, especially if it gets rather complex to get there, it won't likely even scare the highly superstitious people.

What do you get with "Yahweh"

What do you get with "Yahweh" or "Yeshua"?

arakish's picture
Actually, it is NOT yahweh,

Actually, it is NOT yahweh, it is the Tetragrammaton, YHWH and it equals 32. Yeshua would equal 310.

Just go with the flow. I said what would it be with "YAHWEH", not YHWH or the Tetragrammaton.

arakish's picture
No. It is YHWH. NOT yahweh.

No. It is YHWH. NOT yahweh. Yahweh is a concoction created by the same persons who botched the job of translating the Bible in the first place. In actuality, every time those translators saw YHWH, they inserted adonai, meaning The LORD, or The LORD God.

In Hebrew, the vowels do not add any numerical value. Thus, YHWH equals 32. And for Yeshua, only the Y and SH count for any numerical value and equals 310. They go as follows: Y = 10, H = 8, W = 6, SH = 300.

Besides, the Christian sky faerie named himself Jealous in Exodus 34:14. The Tetragrammaton is nothing more than a descriptive statement. YHWH was used everywhere the statement "I AM WHO I AM" or "I AM" appeared in the OT. It is not a name. Even I can say the same thing, "I AM WHO I AM" and my screen name is Arakish. For the Christian sky faerie, it is, "I AM WHO I AM" and my name is Jealous.

So, no. I ain't going with the flow. There is usually a waterfall or other equally dangerous thing down stream.

Maybe Trump's IQ is 25

Maybe Trump's IQ is 25.8069758011, the square root of 666.

Somehow this is disturbing because it may be true.

What if you add the middle

What if you add the middle name?

Supposedly, one of the Roman Emperors who was persecuting Christians around the time the Apocalypse was written made the total. Also symbolic as the # of man trying to reach the God - 6 = man - God seen as 3 as explained to me once.

I wonder if Trump's claim of being a stable genius resulted from that Dr. telling him his IQ was 100. That would impress a grade schooler mentality, but an article I read recently estimated that as his IQ stating it is below average.

The reading, writing, and

The reading, writing, and speech abilities that trump demonstrates all seem well below average for someone of his age, (unless they are going senile or the like) Especially considering he went to Wharton. (Wow if I was on that school staff I would be ashamed they gave him a degree!)

It is well documented that his morning briefings (if he reads them at all on a particular day, he quite often does not) has to have many pictures, simple graphs and must mention his name in a positive manner several times per paragraph or he simply will not read it.
