I must agree with this. If you truly want to understand what the Bible says, you should learn to read in the original languages, and read it from that perspective. There is invariably, always going to be a mistake in the translation of ANY text. Not even the King James bible can be guarentede perfectly correct, because sometimes we JUST DON'T HAVE an English equivilant to a Hebrew word (and vise versa)

Bible prophecy fascinates me, and I'm certainly all for learning about it, but I think you're grasping at straws with this one.


The dude who wrote this wrote it in exile, and the suspected place of writing is the type of place that releases fumes, the same type of place the Oracle of Delphi did her stunt. The entire book of revelations is all just a trip.

Maybe God anticipated the translatory mistakes for the future generations to understand. God is All Powerful! He is All Knowing! We are but little specks of nothing compared to His might and power!

If you don't know what a fault line is then maybe you shouldn't be discussing this. Gases are released by these and some of them tingle with our heads, making us think and feel differently, like a type of drunk.

I have reason to believe that this beast could mean something else. If you've studied the OT then you may know more about what Revelations means. Revelations was mainly written by John to those Jews who became Christians. These Christians knew and understood a lot about prophecy. Therefore, most of this probably already happened. I'll explain more soon as soon as I study more. But I think that the beast could be just about anyone with 666. That's his mark if I am correct. Therefore, whatever uses that number or their name equals that if you count how many letters it takes to get to that number, then he/she/them probably resemble the beast. (No offence, Catholics but this may threaten you) Some say that the Catholic church resembles the beast. I will give you more reasons but I'm just giving info as I remember what I studied.

And only people with half a brain. Sience has no way to judge if time is linear, just as from about the time the speed of sound was calculated, scientists said man couldn't achieve that speed. Now we have. just because we can't prove time isn't linear doesn't mean it is. We may one day be able to bend time (though I VERY highly doubt it...)
Still claiming time is linear is like claiming the speed of light is constant.

I'd take it even further to say it doesn't exist at all.


Also, the above poll: "Yo MaMa"? Trying to decide if it means "you momma" or "Yo-Yo Ma". I'd vote for the latter.

If you want to play the theoretical physics/concepts game then we can say nothing exists, the universe is a giant hologram in which we are all one being continuously experiencing itself through repeated contact with its own bodies, that we are all one giant writing clusterfuck of quarks, subatomic non-existent particles created solely for the amusement of the scientific community, and theories based off of theories which will never be proven.
When you play the "who can make the most useless and ridiculous theory for the sake of argument" game there will ALWAYS be at least 10 theories to counter every theory you can come up with regarding things none of us will ever truly understand.

Firstly, time is the concept, not the non-existance of it.

Secondly, the fact that it does not exist is relevant to this discussion
