Bible Question (short): How should we determine? |
Question (full): Ray, Usually, (and more often than not) theomatics works because you can make it work and those who believe it works are more prone to accept the general view than conduct any serious hermeneutical study on their own. (not meant to be an insult, only observational) Doesn't it seem strange that John says to calculate the number of the beast and then proceeds to actually give us the calculation? And to whom was John writing this letter, the 1st century Jews/Christians or some unknown and undetermined century of English speaking people? It is also quite strange how we force an English translation onto the Hebrew text of Rev. 13:18. So, should we interpret 666 from the Hebrew, Greek, Latin or English alphabet? Sam Hughey |
