666 - What do you think?

[RS Greatest]

i dont get the 666 thing...makes no sense to me...

666 is NOT the number of the devil, it's actually 616. All over the web

Its jsut a another number that people have put of out proportion.

To me, the number 666 is of the devil. The number 6 alone, is of man. Some people think 616 but it says "Six hundred threescore and six" Rev. 13:18b KJV so that is enough for me.

the 666 number originates in the Bible

Revelations 13:18// This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man's number. His number is 666.

Very true. Christian's give Satanists one of two symbols. They signify them with three overlapping sixes or by an upside down cross. Although, 666 is just a number. However, now it is used to signify "the devil". But it's always just going to be a number and nothing more than that. Saying it means nothing. It's just the same as saying any other number. Why would you fear it and not any other number?

No, St. Peter was crucified upside. An the other symbol is this:

I twitch and crack my neck every time I hear the number for some reason, automatic reflex I guess.

the idea of 666 is total rubbish.

i was originated when the christians (who were persecuted by the romans) converted the name of some roman emperor into numbers, the number was 616 (using some numeric system) and over the years, it was changed by people to 666 because it's "cooler"


and i dont believe in the devil, or any other kind of relligious crap.

666 is the number of the roman/greek (dont remmimber) "emperor" or ceasar or wtf he was. He killed jesus therefor was called the beast.

Then that iron maiden or some similar went like 666 the number of the beast. then all cool satanists thought it was meant as the devil. when it infact was some ceasers "favorite" number..

it was something like that i dont remmimber that good right now.

At no point in your incoherent rambling did you ever come anywhere near the question. We are all stupider for having listened to you. I award you zero points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Pontius Pilate gave the order to kill Jesus, and he was not a Emperor, he was a Prefect over a certain area. And I am assuming you mean Julius Caesar when you refer to "ceasar". He was around 50 years before Jesus was born. 666 (although the Number of the Beast is actually 616) was not his favorite number. In Revelations 13:17-18 it says

And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

That is the Translation from the King James Bible as translated by the earliest original passage that they had at the time. In 2005 they discovered an ancient transcript called Papyrus 115. It was confirmed that this was even older then the transcripts that the scholars who translated the first Bible had. Papyrus 115 states that the Number of the Beast is 616. As this is older then the previous oldest transcripts, it means that the Number of the Beast is really 616.

Iron Maiden did the song titled "The Number of the Beast", based on the Biblical Passage. It is not because of them people think it is Satanic, it is because of the Bible.

666 was definitely not Pontius Pilate's favorite number, or anyone that could relate. You are completely wrong in every way about that, and that is not even close to why the Number of the Beast is 666/616.

666/616 is considered to be a code for the name of a list of people, based on the Greek Numeric System. The reason it was in code was so the Apostles of Jesus could speak out against the Government without being caught. This is the most popular opinion.

Also, download Firefox, it has a built in spell check so we don't have to use words phrases/words such as "i dont remmimber that good right now".
