It wasn’t Rome itself God hated. After all, he did create the land itself, though the government was of men. What God hated was the immorality of many Romans.A number is what determines the canon? I’m sorry, but this argument is stupid and poor.
I could also say, “Catholicism comes from Rome. God hates Rome. Therefore, the Roman Catholic Church is false.” You wouldn’t like that, would you.
God bless.

Some of the Church Fathers counted the number of Old Testament books as 22 (there way of counting them was different from ours) which is the same as the number of letters in the Hebrew alphabet.So in the course of the reformation the list of the bible books for the protestant came out to be 66 books … I am not big in numerology but i think the meaning of the number is interesting.

Mmhhh… and this is only 66 (LINK) and not 666… that would be worse…
That is about as ridiculous as the “Vicarius Filii Dei” argument… or the fact that the ancient Greek word for “the Latin speaking man” is LATEINOS which has a numeric value of 666 too. (LINK to the article)
We do not need to be reading something into things that might be there or might show up… we will see what happens…
By the way…
(LINK to the article on Wikipedia)
- The sum of all the numbers on a roulette wheel is 666.
- 666 was a winning lottery number in the 1980 Pennsylvania Lottery scandal, in which equipment was tampered to favor a 4 or 6 as each of the three individual random digits.
- 666 was the original name of the Macintosh SevenDust computer virus that was discovered in 1998.
- In the Bible, 666 is the number of Adonikam’s descendants who return to Jerusalem and Judah from the Babylonian exile (see Ezra 2:13).
- In the Bible, 666 is the number of gold talents that King Solomon collected in a single year (see 1 Kings 10:14 and 2 Chronicles 9:13).
That was very educational. Maybe 1998 was important is some way, being the sum of three times 666 and all.
