CatherineM Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 [quote name='dells_of_bittersweet' timestamp='1311127425' post='2270634'] At the risk of starting an argument with a Church Scholar, I'm going to have to politely state that that's wrong. 616 is the copying error, not 666. Hebrew and Latin are both languages that use numbers for letters. The significance of this is that you can add up all the letters of a person's name to get a number. When scripture copyists noticed that Nero's name in Latin added to 616, not 666, they decided to change the number 666 to 616 because they figured that 666 must have been an error. However, they were using the wrong language for their numbers. Nero Ceasar adds to 666 in Hebrew. [/quote] No problem. It is something that theologians debate hotly. Not me. I really don't get that excited about the minutia of scripture translations. I'm much more interested in moral theology, and the bigger picture.

Luigi Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 (edited) I don't have time to track it down right now, but I believe I remember that she self-declared herself to have been a beast during her most recent incarceration... er... hospitalization. But I don't think she had the bestial puppy then. Did she? Edited July 20, 2011 by Luigi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatherineM Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 No, the bestial puppy was prescribed by the doctor to get me walking more. I think I'm going to let said doctor babysit. Great, he just got way too quiet in the other room. BRB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatherineM Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Maybe you were saying you used to be Catholic, or were attempting to tell us what Catholics are supposed to believe. Could be you just rubbed a Mod the wrong way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
