Yeah, what does the Catholic church know about the bible.

You mean the organization that pretty much single-handedly kept Christianity and Christian tradition alive during the dark ages? Probably quite a bit

I regret my participation in the religious portion of this thread. Usually when INGO has exhausted the conversation on-topic, we talk about food.

Okay. Future regrets aside, I guess we're doing this instead of food. This has nothing to do with who has greater knowledge of the Bible. It's trying to make sense of a puzzle for which knowledge is necessary. But at this point, c'mon. Do Catholics have a unique knowledge of the Bible that better fit them to declare the solution? Using the same type of letter-number mapping, I've seen the Pope identified as the beast in a way which satisfied the clues. Is that one right? Not any righter than anyone else's.

The solution to the puzzle should uniquely identify the beast. It should have exactly one solution. There are only so many clues given. But I've seen several solutions. They all fit the clues. They use the same kind of letter-number mapping using Greek, Hebrew, or Latin. None can be proven right until it happens. Everyone is convinced their solution is the correct one. But you have to have faith in the author of the given solution to believe it above the others.

So forgive me if I kinda think it's bull-****.

Well, yeah they do actually. They have more historic texts and knowledge about Christianity than the rest of the world combined.

No doubt they have more access to ancient Latin texts, I would not disagree with that much. There are a lot of scholars in the world who would disagree that the Catholic church is better positioned in the modern world to put forth the winning solution to the puzzle, especially when it's a poorly designed puzzle that could have many solutions.

Whoa, good to know I don't have the mark of the beast!

And seriously, what's wrong with MILF's?

We have too much time.. on our hands

And the Orthodox Church is what, chopped liver?

(For those in the know, this is kinda like bickering between old siblings, with occasional religiously motivated genocide).

Hey Siri, give me an example of gaslighting.
