What's that little line drawn over 666 in Greek Bible manuscripts ?

that doesn't answer my question, but thanks for posting your favorite pic

Dont know,
Jesus never thought to ever bring that up when he was here.

It's almost as if its an intentional distraction by someone with time on their hands or a mental illness.

actually it's a common Greek notation and common in Greek manuscripts

Funny how so many are fooled into thinking things never mentioned by Jesus when he was surrounded by apostles all of a sudden, because they are uttered by some guy that never met him, become points to obsess upon when in fact, they are items clearly deemed unimportant to focus upon by no other person than Jesus himself, who said the worries of this world are transient and unimportant and not to be obsessed about.

So, the question remains, why is there this obsession to worry about things that Jesus never mentioned?

So?
That makes it important why?

I didnt know they had copy machines in Jesus's time.

Please quote the passages where Jesus brought up any 666 discussions.

yes, good point, the bible never says to study the Bible

Perhaps if you looked up the notation you'd have your answer

Lots of various so called Greek styles, historically speaking, should be accept those too?

We must be reading a different book then

It's to indicate it's a number and not a word. Ancient scribes would use this punctuation like you use place holders.

Instead of writing six hundred, sixty six, you just write 666. They just wrote chi, xi, stigma with a line over it as shorthand.

I don't know

I can't speak Greek

JESUS never said to study the old testament for sure or to emulate it or even follow its lessons.

If he did, they wouldnt have dealt with him the way they did.

you mean this direct mention of it by Jesus ?

Matthew 5:18: "For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled"

really now ?

I know an overbar is used for repeating decimal truncations, but that's years after the bible showed up

My appreciation of Christian doctrine is limited to witnessed and reported words and actions of Jesus.

I believe you allow others to speak and posit for him or claim they are entitled to change direction for him.

So no, We dont read the same information.
You allow all sorts of other influences and ignore the fact the others are there to change things to something else entirely.

you stuck


hahahaha

earliest version of Revelations says the number was 616 not 666. So who is lying and why?

One is written with a monogram and one with a christogram

read much ?

cool, I like how you ignored the verse I posted that proves you wrong

And that applies to what, exactly?
The law of the Golden rule or the laws of Leviticus which command to take slaves and treat them harshly.

You see, you cannot run both laws concurrently.

You have to pick one or the other.

The old testamenteers clearly understood what threat Jesus posed to their doctrine, even if you cannot or refuse to accept it.
It matters not, to me.

Funny, because it's only used over 16 words in the entirety of Bible manuscripts and only one of them is a number

care to revise your answer ?

btw, there are manuscripts with 636 as well as 616 and 666

I dont care, it has nothing to do with what Jesus said or mentioned as important.
The things of this world will pass away as temporary and unimportant, he said that, and I believe that.

You want to focus on punctilious noncontributory items, its on you and will profit you nothing.

who you fooling?

How about other numbers in Greek Bible manuscipts?

153

144000

Are there lines drawn too?

You seem consumed with thoughts of Six.
