By right next to, you point to a situation which occurred 120 degrees different than the eclipse. 11 days is huge in lunar motion. By that time, the moon is waxing something fierce (coming to full in about 3 days).

So you have a cute 6 legged lamb who is born on a day significantly later than a solar eclipse, and we're supposed to take you seriously.

In a word. No.

Reach out and touch faith.





My appologies. 9 days earlier makes it a waning moon and still approximately 120 degrees out of kilter to be attributed to the eclipse.

Again, "when" is not "before". "When" means in close proximity. Within a few days. Not over a week afterwards or beforehand. Astrology is very tight on when a moon becomes void of course. The birth of the monstrous lamb is too far out of void of course to be considered associated with the eclipse. It would have to be after the last quarter. The lamb was born before the last quarter.

Ie this the one we are seeking with such small success? And which might it be, Christ or Anti-Christ? Satan or Muhammad? Allah or Jehovah?

Says who? Point me to some source that says the anti-christ is traditionally represented as a six-legged lamb born near the time of an eclipse.

Otherwise, I might begin to think you are making things up.

ONLY AN *OMEN*....NOTHING MORE AT THIS STAGE....."INTERPRETED" is the KEY WORD

Interpreted is indeed the key word. The verse quite clearly says the omen will be misinterpreted. Since thus far you are the only one offering an interpretation (saying it means the anti-christ), according to the same evidence you've presented, we must assume your interpretation is wrong.

No, it doesn't:
1. To explain the meaning of: interpreted the ambassador's remarks. See Synonyms at explain.
2. To conceive the significance of; construe: interpreted his smile to be an agreement; interpreted the open door as an invitation.
3. To present or conceptualize the meaning of by means of art or criticism.
4. To translate orally.

Nothing about the thing being interpreted necessarily being strange, or divine.

Shit, this guy is quite funny. It's always hard to know if people like this are trolling or actually believing what they say. Or....

People sometimes (quite rarely actually) bring up the possibility that a poster is really a chat-bot. The acid-test for determining if a poster is a chat-bot or a human is for a number of people to have conversations with them and subsequently guess as to the posters identity. If, in an experimental setting, I was asked to do this, I would definitely classify this poster as a chat-bot (and not a very good one). I would do this because "he" totally fails to engage in any sort of conversation. "He" seems totally oblivious that there are actually people conversing (well, trying to anyway) with him.

Of course, like any test there is always the chance of false positives and false negatives...

When drmabus says above, "in this CONTEXT it does," he shows enough understanding of parsing an objection that it's clear to me he's not a "chatbot." However, any willingness to respond meaningfully is totally absent. Just making the statement, for instance, his "in this CONTEXT it does," is simply an unevidenced claim without citation.

My take: He's a human, but either incapable of arguing rationally, or simply unwilling to do so, just to have his fun. And he is funny as Hell.

How strange is a six-legged lamb? Less strange than the one-eyed cat awhile back, but moderately strange. The fact that is happened near an eclipse means absolutely nothing to me. Ditto for Nostadamus and his poetry. (It's not prophesy since it doesn't predict anything.)

Birth defects are not parnormal events. Eclipses are not paranormal events. Lambs born with birth defects near the time of an eclipse are not paranormal events. There is nothing paranormal here whatsoever.
