Speaker 1: their sponsors and associates. You are encouraged to do the
Speaker 1: proper amount of research yourself, depending on the subject matter
Speaker 1: and your needs. You had ready to find the ward
Speaker 1: of weird. This is Strange Things. I am Joshua pe Warren,
Speaker 1: and each week on this show I'll be bringing you
Speaker 1: brand new mind blowing content, news exercises, and weird experiments
Speaker 1: you can do at home, and a lot more on
Speaker 1: this edition of the program. What is Sin? Plus the
Speaker 1: Bible Code and yes, that infamous number six six six?
Speaker 1: What is the truth about these topics? Now, let me
Speaker 1: say right off the bat, Look, these are tricky and
Speaker 1: uncomfortable and complicated subjects, which is why I am tackling it. Okay,
Speaker 1: not because it's easy, because it's hard, and I know
Speaker 1: that I can never really properly tackle this subject because
Speaker 1: it's it's too vast and complex and meaningful and even
Speaker 1: controversial to so many people. So let me ask you
Speaker 1: right up front here to just forgive me as I
Speaker 1: fumble through this. I'm just thinking out loud here. I
Speaker 1: am speaking off the top of my head. I have
Speaker 1: no particular expertise in this stuff. I'm not some kind
Speaker 1: of religious scholar, so you know, please just bear with
Speaker 1: me and let me try to speculate with you as
Speaker 1: we look at this stuff and try to determine what
Speaker 1: the truth may or may not be. And I also
Speaker 1: want to point out that in some of my recent
Speaker 1: podcast I've talked about things that some people have felt
Speaker 1: might be kind of a downer. I talked about me
Speaker 1: reproducing the Mussroo Emoto water crystal experiment and not getting
Speaker 1: much of a result. And then I talked about how
Speaker 1: that this big grand announcement about fusion energy producing more
Speaker 1: output than was input. I explained, well, that isn't exactly correct,
Speaker 1: that it took a lot more energy two to put
Speaker 1: that whole system in place. And then I talked about,
Speaker 1: of course Ralph Lell's Brown Mountain alien mummy, and I said,
Speaker 1: it turns out that's just a fake, a gaff, a phony.
Speaker 1: And um, I know that the great Mark Twain said, uh,
Speaker 1: never let the truth stand in the way of a
Speaker 1: good story. But you know what, we we live in
Speaker 1: a world where people have taken imagination a little too
Speaker 1: far in some cases and are deluding themselves, and therefore, um,
Speaker 1: we have to to look at all things with a
Speaker 1: sense of moderation. And I hope that's one of the
Speaker 1: things that you respect about this show that I'm not
Speaker 1: always say in here just trying to sensationalize everything and
Speaker 1: look for the most fantastic explanation. I'm also trying to
Speaker 1: look at a reasonable logical approach to trying to get
Speaker 1: to the bottom of some of these mysteries that can
Speaker 1: become a confusing hall of mirrors out there. You know,
Speaker 1: I'm going to talk about a variety of religions in
Speaker 1: this podcast, not just religions based on the Bible, but
Speaker 1: you know, obviously that will be the most prominent one
Speaker 1: because I live here in the United States of America
Speaker 1: and there are plenty of people who question every day
Speaker 1: how much of the Bible is fact versus fiction because
Speaker 1: it has been interpreted so many different ways and published
Speaker 1: in so many different editions. I mean, these are good questions,
Speaker 1: you know, dal Alan Hoffman brought up these sort of inconsistencies.
Speaker 1: But as I was doing research for this particular podcast,
Speaker 1: I was kind of surprised because when you start looking at, uh,
Speaker 1: the latest opinion here on something like the existence of Jesus.
Speaker 1: I remember, you know, for a large part of my life,
Speaker 1: there are always people who are like, look, there's no
Speaker 1: way that we will know for sure that Jesus even existed.
Speaker 1: Jesus could have been some type of of a representative
Speaker 1: character based on other earlier traditions from Egypt, etcetera. I mean,
Speaker 1: you hear these things, right, But I read this article,
Speaker 1: and I read a number of these. But here's a
Speaker 1: good example. It's just the Wikipedia article on the historicity
Speaker 1: of Jesus. You know what histericity is. That means the
Speaker 1: historical authenticity. So this is something that is supposed to
Speaker 1: look at this from a rational, practically an atheistic point
Speaker 1: of view. And this says what so many others say, UH,
Speaker 1: with a lot of footnotes, says virtually all scholars of
Speaker 1: antiquity except that Jesus was a historical figure. Okay, that's
Speaker 1: the latest. Did you know that virtually all scholars of
Speaker 1: antiquity now except that Jesus was an historical figure and
Speaker 1: dismissed denials of his existence as a fringe theory. While
Speaker 1: many details like his alleged miracles are still subject to debate,
Speaker 1: of course, but nobody is doubting that he existed. In fact,
Speaker 1: one expert pointed out that even back in the days
Speaker 1: like right after Jesus, you know, practically right after he
Speaker 1: was killed, when Christians were being terribly persecuted and executed,
Speaker 1: even then, people who were critics of Christianity, who were
Speaker 1: writing about that and talking about all the reasons they
Speaker 1: didn't believe in it. Even they never brought up the well,
Speaker 1: by the way, Jesus wasn't real, you know, they even
Speaker 1: they never talked about that as a possibility that never
Speaker 1: occurred to him. Um. And if you look at all
Speaker 1: these scholars, they've come to the conclusion that we know, uh,
Speaker 1: let's see, I think it's like eight, as they call
Speaker 1: literally indisputable facts about Jesus's biography. Here are those facts
Speaker 1: that all the scholars are agreeing upon. One, Jesus was
Speaker 1: a Galileean preacher. To his activities took place in Galilee
Speaker 1: and Judea. Three he was baptized by John the Baptist.
Speaker 1: Four he called disciples. Five he had a controversy at
Speaker 1: the temple. Six Jesus was crucified by the Romans near Jerusalem.
Speaker 1: And seven after his death, his disciples continued, and then
Speaker 1: eight some of his disciples were persecuted. So that's what
Speaker 1: is agreed upon by scholars. So you know, from there
Speaker 1: again you can you can argue whether or not. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, he did the things that are attributed to him.
Speaker 1: But that's interesting. It shows you how some of that changes.
Speaker 1: And and you know, right now, UM, as we learn
Speaker 1: more in our technology advances and we become better informed
Speaker 1: beings thanks to computers and such, um, some things, especially
Speaker 1: some of the weirder, more mysterious things that were written
Speaker 1: in the Bible that used to seem only metaphorical, are
Speaker 1: now becoming scientifically relevant. You're starting to look at them differently.
Speaker 1: For example, in the First Murder in the Bible, when
Speaker 1: Kane kills his brother, Abel has this scene where you know,
Speaker 1: Kane is he's ashamed, he knows he's done something wrong,
Speaker 1: and so God pops up and says, hey, where's your brother?
Speaker 1: And uh and and God says, um, yeah, God says,
Speaker 1: what have you done? Your brother's blood is crying out
Speaker 1: to me from the ground. Okay, that's Genesis f T.
Speaker 1: What a weird thing for Good to supposedly say, what
Speaker 1: have you done? I hear your brother's blood crying out
Speaker 1: to me from the ground. Now you think to yourself, well,
Speaker 1: you've seen blood before. It doesn't cry out from the ground.
Speaker 1: It doesn't literally make any noise. You can't take that literally.
Speaker 1: But now we have d n A and you know
Speaker 1: that was written thousands of years ago. Now we have
Speaker 1: this thing called d n A, which is literally like
Speaker 1: the blood is speaking for the victim. You know, that's
Speaker 1: that's the thing. It's like, you go to a crime scene,
Speaker 1: what are you looking for? You mainly want to get
Speaker 1: some d NA here because it's gonna tell you who
Speaker 1: is there, and every little bit of you is reproduced
Speaker 1: in your DNA. It's it's astonishing. Maybe that is an
Speaker 1: explanation that would have never occurred to people if we
Speaker 1: didn't know about that. Or also, like this other part
Speaker 1: in The King and the New King James version, it
Speaker 1: says something to the effect Luke eight seventeen. He's talking
Speaker 1: about the future. For nothing is secret that will not
Speaker 1: be revealed, nor anything hidden that will not be known
Speaker 1: and come to light. Um, Now, you could think to
Speaker 1: yourself in the old days, if you commit a murder
Speaker 1: or whatever and get away with it, well who cares,
Speaker 1: It's like it never happened, right. But now look, not
Speaker 1: only do we have DNA, but we have cameras all
Speaker 1: over the place, and cameras are now making it less
Speaker 1: and less likely for you to do something that will
Speaker 1: not be revealed. Politicians are finding that out the hard way.
Speaker 1: And you know, as technology advances, we're just gonna have
Speaker 1: more and more cameras everywhere and so and not that,
Speaker 1: not to mention the possibility of time cameras. That somebody
Speaker 1: in the future has invented a camera that can look
Speaker 1: back and see the past, and we are all currently
Speaker 1: being observed right now by people in the future. I mean,
Speaker 1: like we could really go down that rabbit hole. But anyway, look,
Speaker 1: when we come back from this break, now that I've
Speaker 1: made my point, let's get into this topic alright. What
Speaker 1: supposedly is sin not just in the Bible, but within
Speaker 1: the context of other religions let's look at what everybody's
Speaker 1: sort of saying as sin is and see if we
Speaker 1: can find a common denominator and figure out what that is.
Speaker 1: And then we're gonna take it a step further and
Speaker 1: we're gonna see how much literal programming might be in
Speaker 1: the Bible. And is there anything to some of the
Speaker 1: numeric codes like six six six. And by the way,
Speaker 1: I know that you need to see things to believe them.
Speaker 1: And if you're somebody who would like to have a
Speaker 1: little glimpse into the spirit realm, the energy realm all
Speaker 1: around us, I want you to make a pair of
Speaker 1: my Aura visor goggles. They're actually it's they're not goggles,

Speaker 1: Strange Things on the I Heart Radio and Coast to
Speaker 1: Coast to Him Paranormal Podcast Network. I'm your host, the
Speaker 1: Wizard of Weird, Joshua P. Warren, beaming into your wormhole
Speaker 1: brain from my studio in Sin City, Las Vegas, Nevada,
Speaker 1: where every day is golden and every night is silver.
Speaker 1: What is sin? Well, if we go to the Wikipedia page,
Speaker 1: it says, in a religious context, sin is a transgression
Speaker 1: against divine law, okay, and so divine law is law
Speaker 1: that God or some godlike force hands down and somebody
Speaker 1: has to get that message and turn around and tell
Speaker 1: you about it. And it says each culture has its
Speaker 1: own interpretation of what it means to commit a sin. Okay,
Speaker 1: So that means a sin is whatever somebody tells you
Speaker 1: it is. Well, we solve that mystery. Thanks for tuning
Speaker 1: in on our next show. Just kidding, just kidding. I
Speaker 1: think I think we can dig a little deeper. Let's
Speaker 1: let's see. It says what while sins are generally considered actions.
Speaker 1: Any thought, word, or act considered immoral, selfish, shameful, harmful,
Speaker 1: or alienating might be termed sinful. Okay, so right off
Speaker 1: the bat, you see here that we are going to
Speaker 1: have to to look at this through the lens of
Speaker 1: many different kinds of cultures and perspectives to see what
Speaker 1: we can find in common here. Alright, so let's it's
Speaker 1: here's a list of just different religions, h philosophies, whatever
Speaker 1: you want to call them. One of them is behid.
Speaker 1: I don't have time to explain what each one of
Speaker 1: these religions is about. You can look that up. But
Speaker 1: it says behi Um considers humans to be naturally good,
Speaker 1: fundamentally spiritual beings. Human beings were created because of God's
Speaker 1: immeasurable love for us. However, the BEHINDH teachings compare with
Speaker 1: the human heart to a mirror, which, if turned away
Speaker 1: from the light of the Sun, that is God, is
Speaker 1: incapable of receiving God's love. It is only by turning
Speaker 1: unto God that spiritual advancement can be made. In this sense,
Speaker 1: sinning is to follow the inclinations of one's own lower nature,
Speaker 1: to turn the mirror of one's heart away from God. Okay.
Speaker 1: So um, the lower nature in humans is symbolized as Satan,
Speaker 1: the evil ego within us, not an evil personality outside. Okay,
Speaker 1: so that's what they believe. And by the way, I
Speaker 1: don't know if I'm saying behid properly, but you probably
Speaker 1: know what I'm talking about. Like I said, I'm just
Speaker 1: a dude with a microphone, all right, I'm not a scholar.
Speaker 1: Next we go into Buddhism. Uh. There are a few
Speaker 1: differing Buddhist views on sin. American Zen author Brad Warner
Speaker 1: states that in Buddhism there is no concept of sin
Speaker 1: at all. The Buddha Dharma Education Association also says, quote
Speaker 1: the idea of sin or original sin has no place
Speaker 1: in Buddhism. In quote that sounds nice, doesn't it. Uh.
Speaker 1: It goes on to say here in Buddhist thinking, the
Speaker 1: whole universe, men as well as God's are subject to
Speaker 1: a reign of law. Every action, good or bad, has
Speaker 1: an inevitable and automatic effect, and a long chain of
Speaker 1: causes an effect its independent of the will of any deity.
Speaker 1: Even though this may leave no room for the concept
Speaker 1: of sin in the sense of an act of defiance
Speaker 1: against the authority of a personal god. Buddhists speak of
Speaker 1: sin when referring to transgressions against the universal moral code. Okay,
Speaker 1: so whoops, it looks like there is uh some sin
Speaker 1: in here somewhere, And in fact, it goes on to say,
Speaker 1: as a matter of fact, there is this part of
Speaker 1: Buddhism it has five sins. So you see, there's always
Speaker 1: variety even within a certain faith or philosophy. Uh. One
Speaker 1: of them is killing your mother, the other one is
Speaker 1: killing your father. One of them is injuring a Buddha,
Speaker 1: which is, you know, an enlightened person. One of them
Speaker 1: is killing uh. I guess they call it an art
Speaker 1: art it's it's it's one. It's one of the spiritual
Speaker 1: leaders or creating a schism, a problem in their society.
Speaker 1: So they have you know, so even there are some
Speaker 1: things there that are considered sins. But all right, Christianity,
Speaker 1: of course, Christianity, that's that's the major leagues of sin
Speaker 1: right here. You know, now we're getting to to the
Speaker 1: big stuff and Christianity. You know, what's interesting is Christianity
Speaker 1: often relies on this concept of original sin. And here's
Speaker 1: what that means, Um, best I can tell here, original
Speaker 1: sin is the belief that humans were automatically born into
Speaker 1: uh a sinful state of mind, and that UH, for example,
Speaker 1: it says, just as sin entered the world through one man,
Speaker 1: and death through sin, death came to all people because
Speaker 1: all sinned. UH. And this is best represented by the
Speaker 1: story of the Garden of Eden. Uh. Behold, I was
Speaker 1: brought forth an iniquity, and then send my mother conceived me.
Speaker 1: So what they're doing is they're talking about the fact
Speaker 1: that we were born as sinners, and which is why
Speaker 1: that uh. You know, Adam and Eve gave in to temptation.
Speaker 1: And since you were born as center, well you know,
Speaker 1: it's it's a pessimistic point of view. You were born
Speaker 1: a center. So what you're doing is spending this whole
Speaker 1: life trying to learn how to not sin. So you're
Speaker 1: kind of screwed from the moment you entered this world.
Speaker 1: From a Christian point of view, Um, you're always fighting
Speaker 1: against your nature. Your nature is to sin and to
Speaker 1: be like an animal. I guess that's how you can
Speaker 1: can to define it without me giving you some kind
Speaker 1: of sermon here with all these biblical quotes and everything,
Speaker 1: but then of course you have specific things which are
Speaker 1: which are considered sins. And you know, the Bible is
Speaker 1: interesting because there are a number of religions and faiths
Speaker 1: and philosophies that all rely on the Bible, but they
Speaker 1: view it differently. You know. Obviously the two big ones
Speaker 1: are are Judaism and then you know Christianity. But you
Speaker 1: have a lot of sex within Judaism that that disagree,
Speaker 1: and a lot of sects within Christianity that disagree. And
Speaker 1: then you have other religions that rely on the Bible
Speaker 1: that don't view it the same way. But anyway, Uh,
Speaker 1: the most famous examples, of course would be like the
Speaker 1: Ten Commandments, and I'm not going to read all of
Speaker 1: them to you, but you know it says thou shalt
Speaker 1: not kill. Well, again, that can't be taken literally because
Speaker 1: you have to kill something in order to survive. You
Speaker 1: have to kill a plant or an animal in order
Speaker 1: to eat something. I mean, so like again, it's like
Speaker 1: you have to interpret this stuff. And then it's like
Speaker 1: thou shalt not steal, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's
Speaker 1: uh house or wife or or anything you know that
Speaker 1: he has. And you know, remember the Sabbath, keep it holy.
Speaker 1: You know, those are things. A lot of it has
Speaker 1: to do with just like minding your own business though,
Speaker 1: and not being jealous of what your neighbor's got and
Speaker 1: not wanting what what your neighbor has, which is a
Speaker 1: very practical way of looking into life if you don't
Speaker 1: want to cause problems with your neighbor. But did you know, uh,
Speaker 1: and this was kind of a surprise to me that
Speaker 1: when it gets down into um to Judaism, it says
Speaker 1: Judaism regards six hundred and thirteen commandments as a sin.
Speaker 1: Now you're really screwed if that six hundred Did you
Speaker 1: know that? Sure enough? I have a list right here,
Speaker 1: six hundred and thirteen commandments. So some of them are
Speaker 1: just like, uh, you know, fear God, and then it's
Speaker 1: you know, and then it's stuff like show love towards converts.
Speaker 1: Do not hate fellow Jews, Do not embarrass others, Do
Speaker 1: not oppress the weak, Do not take revenge, do not
Speaker 1: bear a grudge, do not curse God. Do not worship idols. Uh,
Speaker 1: do not make an idol for yourself. I mean, and
Speaker 1: you know, it's just like it's interesting. Do not inquire
Speaker 1: of spirits, do not consult magicians or seers. Um, do
Speaker 1: not plant a tree in the temple courtyard. And I
Speaker 1: mean like six hundreds of six hundred and thirteen, Like
Speaker 1: I guarantee you you've you've violated one of these. Um.
Speaker 1: That's interesting, isn't it. You should go read the six
Speaker 1: and thirteen things that they say you're not supposed to do. Uh.
Speaker 1: And then of course we have an Islam sin as
Speaker 1: an important concept in Islamic ethics. Muslims see sin as
Speaker 1: anything that goes against the commands of God Allah, a
Speaker 1: breach of the laws and norms laid down by religion.
Speaker 1: Islam teaches that sin is an act and not a
Speaker 1: state of being uh. That it is believed that God
Speaker 1: weighs an individual's good deeds against his or her sins
Speaker 1: on the day of judgment and punishes those individuals whose
Speaker 1: evil deeds outweigh they're good deeds. So it sounds like
Speaker 1: it's a little different than the Christian the Christian perspective
Speaker 1: of original sin uh. And then listen to this Shinto um.
Speaker 1: Let's see the Shinto concept of sin inexorably linked to
Speaker 1: concepts of purity and pollution. Shinto does not have a
Speaker 1: concept of original sin, instead believing that all human beings
Speaker 1: are born pure. Sin also called sumi, is anything that
Speaker 1: makes people impure, anything that separates them from the commie. However,
Speaker 1: Shinto does not believe this impurity is the result of
Speaker 1: human actions, but rather the result of evil spirits or
Speaker 1: other external factors. Isn't that interesting? Sin can have a
Speaker 1: variety of consequences in Japan, including disaster and disease, and
Speaker 1: because of this, purification rituals are viewed as important not
Speaker 1: just the spiritual and physical health of the individual, but
Speaker 1: to the well being of the nation. Wow, this is
Speaker 1: this is fascinating, isn't it all? Right? When we come back,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna look at all this stuff and
Speaker 1: I'm gonna find what I think is the common denominator
Speaker 1: to help us figure out, like, okay, let's simplify this.
Speaker 1: What is sim But then we're gonna go back to
Speaker 1: this most influential book, the Bible. Some people say that
Speaker 1: there's a code in there that really spells things up
Speaker 1: for you. Is that true? I'm Joshua pe Warren, and
Speaker 1: you're listening to strange things on the I Heart radio
Speaker 1: and Coast to Coast AM para normal podcast Network. I'll
Speaker 1: be back after these important messages. Hang on, Josh will
Speaker 1: be right back. We're happy to let you know that

Speaker 1: You're listening to the Heart Radio and Coast to Coast
Speaker 1: day M Paranormal Podcast. Welcome back to Strange Things all
Speaker 1: the I Heart Radio and Coast to Coast I am
Speaker 1: Paranormal Podcast Network. I'm your host, Joshua Pete Warren, and
Speaker 1: this is the show where the unusual becomes usual. You know,
Speaker 1: having read all this stuff and studied it best I can,
Speaker 1: I I'm looking at you know, what is the common
Speaker 1: denominator here? That maybe because every everyone is is different
Speaker 1: and they all have their own specific, detailed rules. But
Speaker 1: I kind of think that maybe behi and I looked
Speaker 1: it up. I am pronouncing it correctly. I believe Behi.
Speaker 1: I think that Behi probably does the best job of
Speaker 1: reducing it right down when it says the lower nature
Speaker 1: in humans is symbolized as satan, the evil ego within us,
Speaker 1: not an evil personality outside. And I say that because that, Um,
Speaker 1: how often have you seen some demon running around with
Speaker 1: a forked tail and uh and horns and all that?
Speaker 1: Probably not very often, But how often have you seen
Speaker 1: people do evil things? It's unfortunate that that, you know,
Speaker 1: they're on the news every day. And maybe what we
Speaker 1: can do here to sort of just reduce this down
Speaker 1: to why all these things have in common is that
Speaker 1: ultimately evil. Let me put it this way. Sin. Sin
Speaker 1: is absolute selfishness. And where does that come from. Selfishness
Speaker 1: comes from ego and narcissism and lack of humility and arrogance.
Speaker 1: And so whether or not you believe in a higher power,
Speaker 1: whether you're an atheist or a believer in God or
Speaker 1: you're an agnostic, if you are arrogant um and you
Speaker 1: are egotistical, and you are selfish, then you, I believe
Speaker 1: are What we can say is the type of person
Speaker 1: who is given to sin, which leads in many cases
Speaker 1: to evil acts. I don't think it always does, because
Speaker 1: again it depends on what you define as as a sin,
Speaker 1: and that varies a little bit from culture to culture.
Speaker 1: But I think if you give into that ultimate selfishness, though,
Speaker 1: eventually it's going to leads you to acts that you
Speaker 1: will regret. So what is sin? Sin is utter selfishness.
Speaker 1: In my opinion, I think that's what they all have
Speaker 1: in common here, and so how do you combat that? Well,
Speaker 1: look at what all or many of these different religions
Speaker 1: and philosophies say. It's the golden rule, do unto others
Speaker 1: as you would have them do unto you. That's the
Speaker 1: biblical concept spoken by Jesus in Luke and in Matthew
Speaker 1: um here's another version of it. So and everything due
Speaker 1: to others what you would have them do to you.
Speaker 1: For this sums the law and the profits end quote.
Speaker 1: That's Matthew seven. And then when you start looking at
Speaker 1: some of the the Hindu stuff and things that were
Speaker 1: related to you know, Buddhism or that part of the world, Well,
Speaker 1: karma plays a royal karma in the Sanskrit, and karma
Speaker 1: is the same thing. It's the idea that if if
Speaker 1: you're selfish, well there's you're throwing off the balance. It
Speaker 1: can't be all about you, okay. Uh, you have to
Speaker 1: give and be open and humble and understanding of others.
Speaker 1: That's karma. But if you're just a strict materialistic, rationalistic
Speaker 1: scientists and you don't even believe in spiritual stuff, all
Speaker 1: you believe is what you can measure and put under
Speaker 1: a microscope pill. Now we have Newton's third law for
Speaker 1: you in physics. For every action, there's an opposite but
Speaker 1: equal reaction. You see, that's the common thread behind all
Speaker 1: these things. Sin is selfishness, and selfishness comes from narcissistic,
Speaker 1: arrogant ego and lack of humility. So if you do
Speaker 1: your best to open your mind and not be selfish,
Speaker 1: which is animalistic, if you open your mind to try
Speaker 1: to be to not be selfish, and then you also
Speaker 1: are always considering doing into others as you would have
Speaker 1: them do unto you. I think that no matter what
Speaker 1: religion or philosophy you you find solacen, you're gonna be okay.
Speaker 1: I think that's what we can learn from studying all
Speaker 1: these different things. So, now, like I say, there are people, however,
Speaker 1: who say, hey, dude, you're talking about the Bible, and yeah,
Speaker 1: you've you've got some lessons. Good job, good jobs, Mr
Speaker 1: smarty pants. You have figured out the duh here it's
Speaker 1: the golden rule. But you don't realize there is an
Speaker 1: actual mode. There's coded information that was put into the
Speaker 1: Bible like a big puzzle. It's like a big computer program,
Speaker 1: the Bible Code, and it will tell you literally what's
Speaker 1: going on here and even predict the future. I've heard
Speaker 1: about this for decades. I even read the book The
Speaker 1: Bible Code when it first came out a long time ago.
Speaker 1: When was that? Uh, looks like all right, So here's
Speaker 1: what it says if you look at the Bible Code.
Speaker 1: The Bible Code, also known as the Torah Code, as
Speaker 1: a purported set of encoded words within the Hebrew text
Speaker 1: of the Torah that, according to proponents, has predicted significant
Speaker 1: historical events. The statistical likelihood of the Bible Code arising
Speaker 1: by chance has been thoroughly researched, and it is now
Speaker 1: widely considered to be statistically insignificant, as similar phenomena can
Speaker 1: be observed in any sufficiently lengthy text. Although Bible codes
Speaker 1: have been postulated and studied for centuries. The subject has
Speaker 1: been popularized in recent times by The Bible Code and
Speaker 1: the movie The Omega Code. Okay, so what they're saying
Speaker 1: right off the bat, it's like, look, you can take
Speaker 1: any long book and you can start finding patterns in
Speaker 1: it that you start pushing into, uh explanation. So but
Speaker 1: how do they do this? Okay? They use what is
Speaker 1: called the equidistant letter sequence method. Now, if this doesn't
Speaker 1: make total sense to you, don't worry. Uh. The primary method,
Speaker 1: which purportedly excuse me, by which purportedly meaningful messages have
Speaker 1: been extracted is the equidistant letter sequence. So letters are
Speaker 1: selected based on a starting point and counting every innth
Speaker 1: letter based on a given skip number in a certain direction. So,
Speaker 1: for example, taking every fourth letter in a phrase. It's
Speaker 1: almost like doing a cross word kind of thing, where
Speaker 1: you you just start with the letter and you just
Speaker 1: start skipping around until you find uh, other letters that
Speaker 1: form a word. And so the problem is like you
Speaker 1: might go in there and find the word tower t
Speaker 1: O w R and be like, ah, the twin towers,
Speaker 1: we're just uh, you know, attacked. And then you go
Speaker 1: back and then you try to to fit that into
Speaker 1: and retrospect some kind of a prediction, Whereas again they're
Speaker 1: saying that this can be done with with any text.
Speaker 1: I love the the idea of this, but here, here's
Speaker 1: the problem. Here's the reality. Okay, we're talking about real
Speaker 1: stuff here on this podcast. The reality is what version
Speaker 1: of the text has got the code in it? Okay,
Speaker 1: these religious texts were written by human beings, and they
Speaker 1: were interpreted and retranslated and republished and edited, all this
Speaker 1: stuff so many times over. Even if you went back
Speaker 1: and got the original version of it, that's still a
Speaker 1: version that a human wrote. And humans are fallible. It's
Speaker 1: not like God handed this to you. So I don't
Speaker 1: think there's any way that you can take something that
Speaker 1: a fallible human hand rights and say this is the
Speaker 1: code here that we can go into and definitively interpret
Speaker 1: as a message from from the Lord. It's like, really,
Speaker 1: do God's trying to make it that hard? God's trying
Speaker 1: to make us solve puzzles and stuff. I mean, do
Speaker 1: you if God helped to encode something in writing to
Speaker 1: that degree? Do you? Then you would need an absolute
Speaker 1: original copy from the original source. And if that does exist,
Speaker 1: you don't have any way of of separating it from
Speaker 1: other versions. There's so many versions, so many edits that
Speaker 1: you can call all together. I don't think God was
Speaker 1: giving us an Agatha Christie novel to solve here. Why
Speaker 1: would God believe it or not? Life is actually not
Speaker 1: that complicated. I think God was just trying to give
Speaker 1: us lessons to ultimately express the Golden Rule. And this
Speaker 1: Bible code thing is most likely another example of what
Speaker 1: we call paradoia. All right, So paradoia it is the
Speaker 1: tendency for a human perception to impose a meaning, a
Speaker 1: meaningful interpretation on random, nebulous stimuli or okay, so again,
Speaker 1: this is the this is the tendency that you have
Speaker 1: to make sense out of chaos. I show you a
Speaker 1: bunch of random stuff, and you look at it, and
Speaker 1: your brain tries to make sense out of it and
Speaker 1: turn into something familiar. And this is a big, big
Speaker 1: enemy of research, especially when it comes to paranormal stuff,
Speaker 1: because people start trying too hard and they open their brain.
Speaker 1: They they open their their they open their minds so
Speaker 1: so much their brain falls out. This is like looking
Speaker 1: at the moon and seeing the man in the moon
Speaker 1: and being like, that's a big dude up there, because
Speaker 1: you can clearly see the face. We do this all
Speaker 1: the time. We are designed to look for meaning magicians,
Speaker 1: and I'm talking about like stage magicians here in Las Vegas.
Speaker 1: They take advantage of this by trying to, uh, to
Speaker 1: fool you because they know what you're expecting to see,
Speaker 1: and so they turn the tables on you. And that's
Speaker 1: how they use that weakness to trick you. And I
Speaker 1: just think that, uh, if there is a message of
Speaker 1: some kind that is encoded in one of these old
Speaker 1: religious texts, then the whole system is so complicated and
Speaker 1: convoluted that there is no way for you to be
Speaker 1: able to distinguish that from Paradoia, even if it's not Paradoia.
Speaker 1: And I'm totally wrong about that. I don't think you
Speaker 1: could tell the difference. When you can, you can use
Speaker 1: the same technique on other text and get a similar result.
Speaker 1: But what about six six six, ah the Infamous? Does
Speaker 1: that make the hair stand up on your arms? We'll
Speaker 1: get into it soon. I'm Joshua Pee Warren. You're listening

Speaker 1: Things on the I Heart Radio and Coast to Coast
Speaker 1: a M Paranormal Podcast Network. I'm your host, Joshua pe Warren.
Speaker 1: Six six six. The number of the Beast is associated
Speaker 1: with the Beast of Revelation in chapter thirt verse eighteen
Speaker 1: of the Book of Revelation. In most manuscripts of the
Speaker 1: New Testament and in English translations of the Bible, the
Speaker 1: number of the Beast is six hundred sixty six. But
Speaker 1: you know what's interesting is that says here in ancient sources,
Speaker 1: like the Codex if from me rescript Us. Huh, it
Speaker 1: actually is translated into six one six, not six six six.
Speaker 1: I was like, what is the codex of from me
Speaker 1: rescript Us. I'm from western North Carolina. Fox Um says here,
Speaker 1: this is um. It's an old Greek manuscript. Um, let's
Speaker 1: see on parchment and anyway, it's got a different, slightly
Speaker 1: different interpretation of things, and it says six one six
Speaker 1: instead of six six six. But what we all know,
Speaker 1: what we all know and love is that quote that
Speaker 1: says in the Bible here in the End Times quote
Speaker 1: and that no man might buy or sell saved he
Speaker 1: had the mark or the name of the beast, or
Speaker 1: the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him
Speaker 1: that have understanding count the number of the beast, for
Speaker 1: it is the number of a man. And his number
Speaker 1: is six six six. Wow, what does that mean? You know?
Speaker 1: We we live in this uh and this age of
Speaker 1: computers and numbers, and what could it mean? Lots of
Speaker 1: people try to figure that out every single day. Did
Speaker 1: you ever hear this story that passed around a long
Speaker 1: time ago that Hey, it turns out barcodes, every single
Speaker 1: barcode out there has got six six six encoded and
Speaker 1: within it, and that this makes perfect sense. That what
Speaker 1: they're talking about is that they're gonna they're gonna give
Speaker 1: us a barcode or some kind of r F I
Speaker 1: D chip or some kind of technology like this, and
Speaker 1: it's gonna have six six six as a reference point,
Speaker 1: and that's what this is gonna mean. Well, you know what,
Speaker 1: maybe that's gonna happen, But what I can tell you
Speaker 1: is that barcodes, as it turns out, don't actually all
Speaker 1: have six six six in them. Um. I looked up
Speaker 1: a number of explanations for this, and this is just
Speaker 1: one of them, Snopes, says um. The E A N
Speaker 1: barcode system is used in eight e A N thirteen
Speaker 1: barcode system is used in eighty five countries, making it
Speaker 1: the most popular product scanning system of its kind in
Speaker 1: the world. It works by representing numbers as a series
Speaker 1: of seven vertical lines. Each of the seven lines is
Speaker 1: either black or white, and the sequence of lines forms
Speaker 1: a pattern which is recognized as a particular digit when
Speaker 1: scanned by a computer. Every product is assigned a unique
Speaker 1: thirteen digit number, ten digits for the product, a check digit,
Speaker 1: and a couple of flag characters to indicate the organization
Speaker 1: assigned the number. Contrary to popular myth, all barcodes do
Speaker 1: not include the number six six six. This belief arose
Speaker 1: because the number six is represented by a pattern similar
Speaker 1: to that of the guard bars used to mark the beginning, middle,
Speaker 1: and end of every barcode. Since the guard bars always
Speaker 1: appear three times and a given barcode, people who mistakenly
Speaker 1: read them as six is claimed that the pattern six
Speaker 1: six six was embedded in every barcode. However, if you
Speaker 1: look closely at the six and a barcode, you will
Speaker 1: see there is a wide white bar either to the
Speaker 1: left or the right of its pattern, which is not
Speaker 1: the case with the guard bars. The only numbers on
Speaker 1: the bar code which are scanned are those shown in
Speaker 1: the conventional numerals beneath it. So, okay, I don't know
Speaker 1: how much sense that made. This is a podcast, I'm
Speaker 1: short on time, but I don't believe that that is true.
Speaker 1: And again you can look up other sources as well.
Speaker 1: It's not like that all bar codes have six six
Speaker 1: six in them, or is it six one six, again
Speaker 1: depending on the source. Okay, so what does this mean.
Speaker 1: Is is it possible sub kind of technology is going
Speaker 1: to come out that uh is central to tracking us
Speaker 1: and allowing us to conduct trade, and and that six
Speaker 1: six six will be a part of it. It is
Speaker 1: certainly possible. But for right now, what does it mean?
Speaker 1: Nobody knows. That is the answer to that question. Nobody knows.
Speaker 1: And uh, it kind of it reminds me of all
Speaker 1: these people who have been predicting over and over throughout
Speaker 1: history that they know when Jesus is going to return,
Speaker 1: and they give a date, and they give a time,
Speaker 1: and all of their followers get together and they do
Speaker 1: insane things, and then then it doesn't happen, at least
Speaker 1: not from the perspective of the rest of us. And
Speaker 1: and and it says even in the Bible and the
Speaker 1: Thessalonians about that, for you yourselves know perfectly well that
Speaker 1: the day of the return of the Lord is coming,
Speaker 1: just as a thief comes unexpectedly in the night. No
Speaker 1: human being is supposed to have that knowledge. And I
Speaker 1: don't think, I mean, if you're gonna rely on this
Speaker 1: same source to get the idea that God's coming back
Speaker 1: and then that source tells you and by the way,
Speaker 1: you're not gonna be able to know. Why would you
Speaker 1: believe part of it and not the other part. Why
Speaker 1: just say like, oh, it says he's coming back, and
Speaker 1: I get to know when that's gonna be. Despite the
Speaker 1: fact that it also says that you're not gonna be
Speaker 1: able to know people. They are very selective. I don't
Speaker 1: know what six six six means or six one six means.
Speaker 1: And I've studied, and I've done a lot more research
Speaker 1: than I have time to present on this podcast, and
Speaker 1: what I can tell you is that I don't believe
Speaker 1: that anybody knows. So here's the lesson of this podcast.
Speaker 1: Follow the Golden rule and you really don't need to
Speaker 1: worry about anything else. How simple is that. But here
Speaker 1: is something to think about now, honestly, just just think
Speaker 1: about it. The Spanish conquistador Francisco Pizarro was stabbed to
Speaker 1: death in Peru in one and as he was on
Speaker 1: the ground bleeding out, the last thing he did was
Speaker 1: used his finger to draw across on the ground in
Speaker 1: his own blood as his consciousness was slipping away, and
Speaker 1: he said, Jesus, that's what gave him that last feeling
Speaker 1: of protection, that was his last impulse, what would be
Speaker 1: your very last act in the final seconds of your
Speaker 1: life as it slips away. That may help you gain
Speaker 1: some perspective on what is important in your life right
Speaker 1: now today. And it may sound depressing to hear me
Speaker 1: put it that way, but actually it can give you
Speaker 1: great joy once you understand where your priority should lie,
Speaker 1: because things become fun when you understand what to value.
Speaker 1: It's kind of a breakthrough in your life, and that understanding,
Speaker 1: once you pursue it, will start flooding your life with
Speaker 1: rewards and you might ultimately loosen up and become a nicer, humbler,
Speaker 1: more grateful person. In fact, you know how, when just
Speaker 1: to about anybody says I'm hoping for good luck. I
Speaker 1: want good fortune here, I'm crossing my fingers, you know
Speaker 1: where that comes from. Most experts say that that comes
Speaker 1: from the whole idea of Christianity, that you're forming a
Speaker 1: cross with your fingers. Even whether you're religious or not,
Speaker 1: you're forming a cross with your fingers because you're associating
Speaker 1: that subconsciously with the idea of manifesting a miracle. Now,
Speaker 1: there are some other scholars who say, well, wait, wait,
Speaker 1: we have examples of that kind of thing even before Christianity,
Speaker 1: back in the pagan world. Find there are a lot
Speaker 1: of connections between the pre Christian world and the Christian world.
Speaker 1: But there's something significant about this concept, isn't there of
Speaker 1: of of the cross crossing your fingers and and something
Speaker 1: simple about that that may symbolize some peace. But I
Speaker 1: have done the best I can do to explore this
Speaker 1: topic with you, and uh, hey, whether you whether or
Speaker 1: not you agree with some of my opinions, maybe at
Speaker 1: least I will have inspired you to go do some
Speaker 1: of your own research. And that is all I can
Speaker 1: hope for when I do a free podcast like this.
Speaker 1: Here endeth the lesson. I have some very interesting audio
Speaker 1: of e v P that I planned to play for you.
Speaker 1: I don't have time to do it on this show,
Speaker 1: so I think I'm gonna play it for you on
Speaker 1: my next show. I don't play e v P very often,
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna play this for you and see what
Speaker 1: you think about it. But now it is time for
Speaker 1: us all to relax. If you can close your eyes,
Speaker 1: take a deep breath, and be exposed to the good
Speaker 1: fortune tone, that's it for this edition of the show.
