The codes have at least as much proof as many accepted scientific concepts, if not more. There are many thousands of fully practising Jews in the world today because they accepted this as part of the 'knowledge of G-d' becoming revealed. The nay-sayers just cannot bear having their free choice taken away.<br />By the way Rav Avigdor Miller did refer to Islam as avodah zarah.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5589564.post-35960211102282584062011-05-17T13:12:37.508-04:002011-05-17T13:12:37.508-04:00i'm trying to use my Bible code software to tr...i'm trying to use my Bible code software to try matching, but looking for ישו, it gives me an error that it is too short a word to search for. they know that this will generate millions of hits.joshwaxmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05149022516101476797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5589564.post-71555314055221910982011-05-17T13:09:59.017-04:002011-05-17T13:09:59.017-04:00thanks.
