Milfner Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 666 isn't the number of the devil, its 616. A miscalculation in the scriptures lead to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyh29 Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 meh , QI is only a step up from wikipedia Irenaeus discussed the fact that there were already Greek copies with 616, and declared it to be a scribal error in those copies. He claimed that all the oldest manuscripts then extant had 666 So QI is in fact wrong ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyh29 Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 The original name of the Peace Cup was to be 'Sunmoon Peace Cup', named after Sun Myung Moon, the founder of the Sunmoon Peace Football Foundation. However, after being criticized that it was too religious, the organization changed its named to 'World Peace King Cup' and started preparation for its first tournament. Before the inauguration of the cup, AFC warned that the term 'World' can only be used by the competition organized by FIFA, and 'King' can be used by the competition held by a Kingdom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
