Right....and her "code" revealed that Christ didn't die on the cross and lived happily ever after with Mary Magdelene.

She's a barmy nutjob.

Like I said I never read that from her. I only read her work on the code. Although I do believe I have heard theories about Jesus living based on her code and the use of the phrase "the word of God" being Jesus but I don't remember her ever stating that theory in the work that I have read and that is something I would typicaly remember.

Her website, judge for yourself.

Previous to her discovery of the 'secrets of the Bible' her main issue was feminism and the oppression of women by Christianity.

Feminist theology, to be precise...

Publications on Feminist Theology

Created Second? Aspects of Women's Liberation in Australia (Family Life Movement of NSW, 1973)

Deliver Us from Eve (ed.) (Australian Council of Churches Commission on the Status of Women, 1977)

"Reflections of a Woman Theologian" , in Against the Odds, eds. Madge Dawson and Heather Radi (Hale and Iremonger, 1984).

So I guess we can dispense with any future comments about 'biased sources' in this forum. :twisted:

Yeah she appears to be a balrmy nut job. What is really shocking about it to me is that it was a Christian who pointed me towards her work to begin with.

Always liked using her as a source because she is so well repected in her field, especially before her first Bible Code books. She is still pretty respected in the field though but not as much by me. It does seem as though she has an agenda to appease.

I have been shaping and reshaping my opinins on religion and my beliefs for nearly a decade now. I am not set in cement concerning my faith God as many are and always have been. I hope I never get stuck in the cement either. I always want to continue learning more about these subjects. Like I said a couple of days Sports and Religion could consume my entire life if I were to allow them to do so.
