What is the meaning of the number 666 in Revelations 13:18?
From Hr.Vad, Prometheus Grotto and Satanic Red

This article explains the prevalent Christian interpretation of the number 666. For an alternative, esoteric explanation of the meaning of 666 buy Tani Jantsang's Package of Doctrines.

A: The first major persecutor of Christians is often considered to be Caesar Nero and the Christians used the underground code 666 to refer to him. This makes sense, because when "Caesar Nero" is translated into hebrew and is "coded" -- using the traditional Hebrew numerical values assigned to the letters of the alphabet -- the numbers sum to 666. This would have been rather obvious to Christians living at the time, but concealed enough so as to avoid being thrown to the lions. As can be seen, some meaning would be lost in the translation from latin to hebrew, which perhaps accounts for the "mystery" that seem to gather around "666". A Christian at the time would probably consider the matter subtle, but probably not mysterious.

In this interpretation the Bible is shown not to be a prophecy of things to come but rather a social or political commentary. Revelations thus refer to the fall of Rome and Nero.

Is this then the true explanation? Well, the explanation is boring, simple and not really surprising, so it probably is."

This answer is rather short and deals only with the answer that seems to be most commonly accepted among Bible scholars -- I've seen a number of writers who seem to agree on this one. It is of course possible to give a more detailed answer to this question as there is room for speculation for those who're interested. Those interested in doing their own research can be referred to the section at their library dealing with exegetic theology.

In the following paragraphs you'll find some familiar as well as some alternative explanations of the famous "666". The quotes you'll see here are all taken from the book Revelation by John Massyngberde Ford, Chapter X. Comments are by me.

"The mark of the monster is either identified with or closely associated with his number. Here our author uses the method of gematria (from Heb. gimatriya), that is, the process of adding up the numerical value of the letters that make up a proper name, e.g. a=1; b=2; d=4, etc. (It was called isopsephia in Greek.) It is a cryptogram and special insight is necessary to decipher it. Barclay gives several examples of other uses of gematria. There is a very simple one on the walls of Pompeii: "I love her whose number is 545" (A. Deissman in Barclay, p. 276). The lover conceals the name of his loved one by giving the numerical value of the letters of her name."

"Pagan gods were known by the numerical value of their names, e.g. Jupiter, or Zeus, was known as 717. One of the most interesting examples of gematria found is one contemporary with Nero. People apparently wrote on the walls what they were afraid to say concerning him. One such graffito is reported by Suetonius Nero 30: "A calculation new. Nero his mother slew." The numerical value of the letters in the name Nero is equal to that of the letters in the rest of the sentence."

Barclay, W. "Revelation 13, Great Themes of the N.T." ET 70 (1958/59), 260-64, 292-96.

"Many and various have been the attempts to decipher the cryptogram 666. Barclay's comprehensive article gathers up most of the suggestions prior to the date of his writing. Three names for 666 were suggested by Irenaeus: Euantas, but this is meaningless; Teitian, which could be a reference either to the Titans who rebelled against the gods or to the emperor Titus although he was not a persecutor; and Lateinos, which would stand for the Roman (Latin) empire and for the Roman church. Primasius suggested Arnoune which could be connected with the Greek verb arneisthai, "to deny" or "apostatize." Barclay himself suggests that we use Hebrew letters to represent Neron Caesar; if the final n in Neron is dropped, the word is brought into line with its Latin form and the result is 616. The writer of Revelation saw emperor worship as satanic power, and he saw the power culminating in the return of Nero, the antichrist."

"Hillers, commenting on the identification of Nero with 666 if it is spelled Nrwn Qsr, says: "it may now be pointed out that in an Aramaic document from Murabba'at (DJD, II, 18, plate 29), dated to the 'second year of the Emperor Nero,' the name is spelled Nrwn Wsr, as required by the theory. The last two consonants of Wsr are damaged, but enough is preserved to show that no vowel letter was written between the W and the s." Thus there would be no need to use the variant reading 616."

"Another variant is 606, which would be the sum of Gaios Kaisar, known as Caligula. Christian readers would have noticed the contrast between the number of the beast, 666, and the number of Jesus, 888 (the sum of the Greek letters Jesous). In 888 could be seen superabundant perfection, the three-fold 7+1. On the other hand 666 indicates the three-fold failure to reach perfection, 7-1. This showed how precarious and how doomed to failure the reign of the beast must be."

*Fr. Edward Siegman's notes."

"Perhaps the most interesting suggestion has been made by Bruston. He believes that one needs to search not for a Roman name but rather for a Babylonian one. The founder of the empire of Babylon was Nimrod, who according to Gen 10:8 was the son of Kush. The true name of the Roman emperor is Nimrod, which means "rebellious." Bruston observes that it is a question of the Roman emperor past and present, not the future Roman emperor or the Antichrist."

"In rabbinic literature Nimrod threw Abraham into a fiery furnace because he would not worship idols; Gen R 38:13."

"Why should "John" have spoken so cruptically. It would seem that in time of persecution or war the faithful should be warned. However, the warning had to be given in such a way as to obscure its meaning for the pagans into whose hands the Book of Revelation might fall. If it violated the sacrosanct majesty of Rome, the faithful might be charged with treason. Hence the gematria was a measure of prudence."

There is also a long and difficult argument that the 666 may refer to someone called Flavius Josephus, but I refer the interested reader to Ford's book. I'll merely end with the last words in chapter X.

"Although one may not take Rev 13:11-18 literally, it might be that, with poetic license, the author of Revelation has depicted the monstrous behavior of Josephus and others like him who led his countrymen to submit to and honor Rome."

Then, perhaps, it is safe to say that Revelation refers to a number of different people. This may account for the difficulties in establishing full consistency in the different theories concerning this question.

Some VERY interesting information on 666.
From: "Ragnar Redbeard"

It has been suggested in this newsgroup (alt.christianity) in response to my question regarding the origin of 666 that the number 666 has its roots in numerology. This is the school of thought that agree with. The number 666 has its origins in ancient numerology / astrology, and is connected to what are called "magic squares". The ancients devised a scheme of numbers arranged in squares and ordered in such a way that by adding each row and column, one would reach the same total each time. 666 comes from the square associated with the Sun, which is made up of every number from 1 to 36. The sum of all numbers from 1 to 36 is of course, 666. Surrounding the Sun Square are the 12 divisibles of 666 which are attached to the 12 signs of the Zodiac.

666 = Pisces

333 = Aquarius

222 = Capricorn

111 = Sagitaurus

74 = Scorpio

37 = Libra

18 = Virgo

9 = Leo

6 = Cancer

3 = Gemini

2 = Taurus

1 = Aries

Here is what the Sun Square looks like:

6 32 3 34 35 1

7 11 27 28 8 30

19 14 16 15 23 24

18 20 22 21 17 13

25 29 10 9 26 12

36 5 33 4 2 31

The factors of 666 are 666, 333, 222, 111, 74, 37, 18, 9, 6, 3, 2, and 1. They are attached to the Zodiac signs as follows:

So, each of the six rows has a total of 111 (6 rows x 111 = 666). Each of the 6 columns also has a total of 111.

The Sun Square contains 9 squares and rectangles whose corners total 74 ( 9 X 74 = 666 ) One example is "6 + 1 + 31 + 36 = 74"

For those who practiced numerology / astrology, the numbers 666 and 74 were considered 'holy' numbers, associated with the Sun, which they revered. Numerology / Astrology (from now on referred to as Hermetica) also became a recurring phenomenon in the bible, particularely the KJV. Many of the numbers which are sacred to Hermetica are found to be recurring throughout the KJV, 666 being the most obvious.

The famous reference to 666 is found in revelation, but another exists in 1 Kings 10:14 where Solomon takes 666 talents of gold from neighboring kingdoms. Solomon is one of the more important examples of this biblically coded wisdom.

Solomon is basically the figure head of the 12 tribes of Israel during his reign as king. Solomon represents the Sun and the Sun Square and the 12 tribes of Israel are the 12 signs of the Zodiac. The 666 clue found in 1 Kings is one hint - another is the name Solomon. "Sol" is the Latin word for the Sun, "Om" is the Hindi word for the Sun, and "On" is the Egyptian word for the Sun.

While 666 is the most famous reference to the practice of Numerology found in the bible, there are many others which are more subtle. First a quick point regarding history:

In approximately 325 A.D. Emperor Constantine declared Christianity to be the official religion of the Roman Empire. His reasons are the topic of another discussion, but for better or worse it is a fact. For the next 1500 years, all other religions or philosophies were ruthlessly purged from the Roman Empire, to the point of knowledge of many ancient religions becoming extinct. The Ancients, realizing that practicing Hermetica (Numerology / Astrology) meant a visit to the torture chamber, did what anyone in their position would do - they hid their knowledge. The were fortunate in the fact that they were practically the only ones with any sort of education, and thus were trusted to read, write, and interpret for Rome. Fast forward to somewhere in the 1600's when King James decided that the bible should be available in English and commissioned a group of scholars including Francis Bacon* to oversee the translation of the bible from Hebrew & Latin to English. Francis Bacon was a member of the chain of minds that sprang from the Ancient Philosophers and he constructed the KJV in such a way that the knowledge they possessed may be preserved. All one has to do is decipher it.

Now, with that in mind, we can look at the bible and understand why it is arranged the way it is. If someone was to write a code without leaving any sort of decoding manual, it stands to reason that the means of decoding his work would have to be included in his work. The first step to deciphering this code would be to look for extremes. Take for example, Psalm 117. It sits at the exact center of the bible (in traditional order) and is the shortest chapter in the bible. As such, it almost jumps out and screams "Hey, look at me!" Psalms 117 has exactly 33 words. By no coincidence there are 33 years in the life of Christ, and 33 generations from Adam to David.

*There are those who believe that it was Francis Bacon who wrote the works attributed to Shakespeare. Here is a little tidbit suggestive of this theory. Count 666 chapters backwards from the end of the bible. You will find that it is Psalm 46. Count 46 words into that chapter and find that the 46th word is "Shake". Count 46 words backwards from the end of that chapter and find that the 46th word is "spear". The mathematical laws of probability eliminate the "coincidence" theory, and we conclude that with this method of "counting the bible" rather than reading the bible we are on the right track.

Due to a period of over one thousand years in which anything other than Church approved subject matter was relentlessly purged, intimate knowledge of pre-Christian religious practices (particularely those related to Numerology) is scarce. Some rudimentary information still remains, such as the names and fables associated with the Pagan lore, along with some fundamental Numerology / Astrology concepts. Many are familiar with the tales of Thor, Odin (Wotan, Woden), Zues, and the whole pantheon of gods and goddesses. The horoscopic information that exists in today's New Age circles consists mainly of simple clairvoyance and "love spells". Many New Age occultists use the principles of Gematria and such to discover "their" number, and so on.

Ancient 'magicians' used 7 unique number squares as the basis for their wisdom. Each square was arranged in such a way that the total of any column or row was the same. Each of the seven 'magic' squares was also assigned a planetary value. Mercury, Venus, Mars, Saturn, Jupiter, the Moon, and the Sun, are all associated with a specific square. It is the Sun Square that is most relevent to bible coding. The sun square is the 4th of the 7 magic squares and consists of every number from 1 to 36, arranged in six rows and six columns. Each of the six rows adds up to 111 and each of the six columns adds to 111. It is from the Magic Square of the Sun that the infamous number 666 originates. 6 columns X 111 = 666. 6 rows X 111 = 666. All of the numbers 1 through 36 total 666. There are a total of 3 squares and 6 rectangles within the Sun Square, each of which adds to 74, and are listed below. 9 rectangles & squares X 74 = 666.

6 + 1 + 31 + 36 = 74

11 + 8 + 26 + 29 = 74

16 + 15 + 21 + 22 = 74

7 + 3 + 12 + 25 = 74

19 + 24 + 13 + 18 = 74

32 + 35 + 2 + 5 = 74

3 + 34 + 4 + 33 = 74

14 + 23 + 17 + 20 = 74

27 + 28 + 9 + 10 = 74

The numbers to keep track of here are 9, 74, and 666, as they will turn up elsewhere later.

Very possibly, the other squares contain number patterns that can be found in the bible, but our focus will remain with the Sun Square. The number 666 has 12 divisibles, and these divisibles are associated with the 12 signs of the Zodiac.The Sun Square and its 12 divisibles (or 12 signs of the Zodiac) serve to form a theme which was to become common in many later religions. Odin had 12 chief priests, Solomon had 12 tribes of Israel, and Jesus had 12 disciples. The 1 + 12 phenomenon is found in other areas as well. In U.S. courts, there is a Judge, and twelve jurors. Anglo-Saxon folklore tells of King Arthur and twelve Knights of the Round Table. Upon reflection this should be an obvious analogue as King Arthur and the Round Table represent the Sun and the Sun Square, and the 12 Knights represent the 12 signs of the Zodiac.

It should be clear that the chances of these religions and folklore sharing the 1 + 12 theme being a coincidence is gradually falling. Furthermore, since the 1 + 12 theme appears primarily in Western religions, it is likely that they originate from one source. This source has been given many names throughout the centuries and usually takes the form of secret societies. At one point it was discovered that certain sounds affected the subconcious mind, and it was long known that the human animal is a herd animal. Perceptive people realized that the two should be mixed very carefully. Some sound arrangements had a soothing effect, while some had an angering effect, or a saddening effect. Ancient temples were often constructed in such a way that the songs sung during services would have a maximum effect on the mass. Certain notes can shatter glass, or render humans unconcious, and it was this power that these societies intended to conceal. Unscrupulous people could easily use this knowledge to the detriment of society. When languages were constructed, their vowels and consonants were assigned numerical values. The study of this alphabetic / numerical association is called Gematria, and Gematria is used to assign numbers to sounds (words, phrases, etc.).

Deities, or important figures in mythology and religion are constructed in accordance with the principles outlined above. English Gematria assigns the value of "1" to the letter "A", and "2" to the letter "B", etc. With this in mind, look at the word "Jesus":

J E S U S

10 + 5 + 19 + 21 + 19 = 74

Let it also be known that the word Jesus in Greek adds to "888" in Greek Gematria. Greek Gematria increases by a factor of 10 each 8 characters, and the 24th characther has a value of 800. Jesus is referred to as being the offspring of David throughout the bible, and that referrence is due to the fact that the numerical value of Jesus can be found in the Mars Square. If the Star of David is drawn in the Mars Square, and the numbers in the Mars Square are reduced to single digits, we observe the following phenomenon:

2 6 7 2 3

4 3 7 8 7

8 5 4 3 9

1 9 1 5 4

5 6 1 2 6

After drawing the Star of David inside this square, we see that the points on the two triangles collect the numbers in such a way that each triangle has a value of 741. The first triangle has the tip at the number '7' in the first row, and its two base points sit at 4 and 1, if we travel clockwise. The inverted triangle has its upper right point at the 7 in the last column, and travels across the column to arrive at the 4 in the first column, and finally the 1 at the tip. Inside the hexagram that the center of the Star forms, we see the number 741 travel down the vertical axis and the number 543 travel across the horizontal axis. 741 + 147 = 888 and 543 + 345 = 888. This is why Jesus is referred to as a branch of David.

Note that the word "Joshua" adds to "74" in the same way Jesus does, and incidentally so does the word "occult".

Even though it is thought to be common knowledge that a man named "Shakespeare" wrote the collection of classic plays, an interesting 'coincidence' is found by employing the coding concepts used by Francis Bacon (who supervised the writing of the KJV). If we count 666 chapters backwards from the end of the bible, we arrive at Psalm 46. Excluding the mysterious word "selah" (which appears 74 times throughout the KJV) we count 46 words from the beginning of the chapter and find the 46th word to be "shake". The 46th word from the end of the chapter is "spear". This is coincidental to the theory held by some that Francis Bacon wrote the works attributed to Shakespeare

When constructing a code that is designed to be deciphered without a 'decoder's guide' a cryptographer will use extremes as pointers to show us the structure of the code. Tools such as longest, shortest, and repetition serve to draw attention. n keeping with this theory, we notice that the shortest chapter in the bible, Psalm 117, is also placed in the exact center. It contains exactly 33 words, which by no coincidence is the number of years in the life of Christ, the number of generations from Adam to David, and the number of degrees in Freemasonry.

On counting sets of 33 chapters from the beginning of the bible we find that the 9th set lands on 1 Kings 6. 9 sets of 33 chapters backwards from Psalm 117, we find that the 9th set lands on 1 Kings 7. The chapters 1 Kings 6 and 1 Kings 7 detail the construction of Solomon's Temple. The Temple is begun in 1 Kings 6, and construction ends in 1 Kings 7.

Due to the fact that the word "temple" is often associated with perfected man, and wisdom, a great deal of coding can be found within the biblical concept of Solomon. The word "Solomon" serves a dual purpose in the coding of the bible. The word "Sol" is Latin for "sun", the word "Om" is Hindi for "sun" and the word "On" is Egyptian for "sun". Also, the vowel "o" is symmetrically placed throughout the word 3 times. Note that "o" is the 15th letter in the alphabet:

O O O

15 15 15

1 + 5 1 + 5 1 + 5 = 666

Even when presented with information such as this, the Christians will grow stronger in their proclaimations that the practice of Numerology is evil. Sometimes it will be suggested that perhaps this coding was designed by the devil to discredit the 'truth' of Christianity. Nonetheless Solomon was designed to code 666 and the Sun Square, and makes references to the 'temple', all of which are concepts borrowed from the ancient Occult.

Not unlike the 1 + 12 theme, the recurrence of the number "7" in religion and mythology is significant. The Seven Seals of Revelation is a reference to the 7 magic Squares, as are other references to 7 in the bible:

Seven horns and seven eyes are the seven spirits of God (Rev 5:6), Seven lamps of fire which are the seven spirits of God (Rev 4:5) are all references to the 7 magic squares.

Sometimes methods other than Gematria and Numerological coding are used, and in Revelation 2:17 we discover coded in that verse the belief system held by Francis Bacon and the Initiates who wrote the King James Bible. Revelation 2:17 read.

"He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it"

In this case, the passage points to a new name written in 'a white stone'. If one were to unscramble the words 'a white stone' we will get 'thee is wotan'. Remember Wotan is a deity in the pantheon known as Asatru, and sometimes goes by the name 'Woden' or 'Odin'. The odds on that being a coincidence simply cannot be fathomed.

Other than the passages to be unscrambled ("a white stone" - "thee is wotan") and the subtle references to the magic squares, most of the words in the bible are 'filler', which serve no real interpretive purpose. The bible is so full of contradictions and pure nonsense that it only stands to reason that it was not meant to be read, but counted. Other theories suggest that the King James bible was written as a time-bomb designed to destroy Christianity. Others suggest that Christianity in general was designed to destroy the West, and that the KJV was designed to warn us and was coded to preserve ancient wisdom. Both theories fit the facts outlined above, but it is doubtful that the whole story will ever be known.

Now that the coding system has been discovered, the dominoes will begin to fall. Given enough time, we can no doubt unravel all of the wisdom encoded into the KJV and discover the knowledge known only by a few, and persecuted by religious tyrants for hundreds of years. This essay outlined a few pointers and coding principles and the reader is encouraged to discover more. Remember, count the bible, don't read it.

Another Look at Christianity, Includes Most Bizarre Theory of 666

If you, the reader, has the tendency to “knee-jerk REACT” to Christian things, then turn off those buttons or DO NOT READ THIS! I’m serious. This needs to be read through Dark Doctrine eyes.

From the Greek: Who is Not in the Kingdom - and Never Was, hence Shall not Inherit the Kingdom.

The ADIKOI (literally: not-right with the self - un-righteous, grossly misinterpreted to mean “moral.”) shall not inherit the Kingdom. From St. Paul in I Corinthians 6:9-12. Consider what “not right with the Self” means in the Dark Doctrine: A Klippoth!

There are nine OUTER behaviors mentioned which one might call “sins” (errors within the Self) and a ninth THING (NOT a behavior anyone can see!) is INNER because it basically is the ROOT of all the other behaviors (just like in the Doctrines). Or one might say the UN-root as those that do it are said to “Not be born of WATER AND SPIRIT!” And furthermore, it is said that they “Were damned from the Beginning of the throwing down of the Cosmos!” Doctrine: they lack the Root. The Christian words (in Greek) seem to be implying that this is their Fate - they ARE Damned and they DO all these behaviors - BECAUSE - they are the damned. Interesting twist!

1. EIDOLOLATRAI: idolaters, those that worship false gods or idols (whether made of wood, stone, or flesh and blood like a God-King Person). Consider this in terms of “the fan.” Consider just what this behavior is on the INNER level.

2. MOICHOI: Adulterers: those that adulterate - make impure - implied is making something impure which should not be made impure, but which should stay pure. In the Old Testament this clearly meant “race-mixing.” It doesn’t mean to “cheat on your spouse” since those writing this were polygamous! It might have INCLUDED this, depending on WHO you cheated with, since these ancient people believed in biological telegony! (Matthew 5:32, e.g., if you divorce your wife and she marries another man, the new husband is committing adultery. This makes sense only if one considers telegony. There is more in the Old Testament on this showing the word clearly means to mix with other races.)

3. MALACHOI: Effeminate men, effete wimpy or cowardly men. A man who does not protect his household because he is “soft.” The word literally meant “soft” in Attic Greek, an earlier language

4. (H)ARSENOCHOITAI: A homosexual, usually thought to mean a male one.

5. KLEPTAI: A robber of personal property.

6. HARPAGES: Extortioners. Separate from kleptai. A usurer.

7 . PLEONECHTAI: A covetous, jealous person, a clinger who looks at what others have IN LIFE (not material thingsYOU of ) and desires to take it (not necessarily to own it for themselves either). They take it just to deprive having itperson.. This is clearly seen as self-hate which springs forth hate for everything else, especially a happy (“blessed”)

8. METHYSOI: Those who are intoxicated, brain-numbed in the senses due to drugs they take in order to numb the senses. Does not mean a drink of wine with meal (obviously).

9. LOIDOROI: Slanderers, revilers a person who tells UN-true things of another, obviously out of malice.

10. PORNOI: Filthy soul, literally, which one gets by committing the ONLY INNER SIN (sic). Jesus calls this the ONLY INNER SIN! It is EPITHYMESAI (literally, to stimulate the mind using the RIGHT EYE!) It usually is used pertaining to sexual matters: MENTAL SEX as OPPOSED TO physical biological urge to mate. EPYTHYMESAI makes the soul black and darkens the Light within. Doctrines: using the eye-chakra to stimulate the crotch chakra - it makes the Kundalini shoot DOWNWARD instead of flowing upwards (some folks CAN feel the difference). This is like “zonking” your own Root! It causes a splitting away of the 3 lower chakras from the throat and eye chakras - leaving the heart-chakra as a gaping darkened and empty hole (some folks have felt this too!) It results in a person being unable to “speak from the heart” because the throat chakra is split from the heart chakra were the feelings are. The Latin and English translations have this word as “fornication” yet this is wholly different from the original meaning! This PORNOI, being the only inner sin, causes the OTHER behaviors to occur. The people translating this into Latin were klippoths themselves - and notably woman haters! They were SICK MEN that often flagellated themselves or did other twisted things to themselves. In the Old Testament, the word “fornication” means: 1. Worshiping any false god (see above); 2. Sodomy, any unnatural sexual act not necessarily a homosexual one; 3. Incest which is overall bad breeding; and 4. Adultery, literally to mix up and make not pure - referring to mating! In Latin Epithymesai is translated “Concupiscentia” which in English gets translated into the word “whore” meaning male or female prostitute, selling sex for money. This totally obscures the heavy inner meaning. (Matthew 5:28-29 and Matthew 6:22-23) Epithymesai: the word THYMUS is in there. The thymus gland is behind the sternum where the heart chakra is. When “mental sex fetishists” of any kind FOCUS with their left brain (connected to RIGHT eye) on the future-goal (not past memory) of what they wish to do, it FEELS like a pinch in the heart chakra area; in fact, the thymus acts up. When they get “into” the fantasy (we call that a white noise state or ophionic) their eyes glaze over, get cloudy: they are in fact pushing their kundalini downward.

St. Paul used our word THANATOS to refer to these people who are ADIKOI. He was a Hellenic Jew well versed in literature - he had to have known that Thanatos was considered the opposite of Zoos in the physical sense, and the opposite of Eros in the higher or “spiritual” sense. Thanatos does not mean dead as in dead/buried. It means dead yet walking around as if alive. They are at war with “WHAT IS.” At war with Nature and their own Natures though in Christian thought, this WOULD BE their Nature - to BE Thanatos - they ARE that way since the throwing down of the Cosmos. If one is “not right” they can NOT follow the Holy Spirit. Doctrine: klippoths can’t follow the Tao, they are unable to flow because their Kundalini is blocked up. It is as if they rebel against themselves. Christian: they have NO LIGHT (LOGOS: LOGIC!) in them, hence they have NO TRUTH in them and hence they have NO LOVE in them! Interesting! Jesus says: “If you have Logic, you can not err (sin).” The English from Latin translation twists this to read “If you have Jesus, your flesh will die.” BIG twisting of meaning, here, by SICK MEN who spoke and wrote Latin.
