Bibliomancy?
Posted: Sat Nov 28, 2015 6:18 am
"Bibliomancy is the practice of seeking spiritual insight by selecting a random passage from a Holy Book.
Bibliomancy is divination using a book,
Sometimes a bible is used.
The book will be opened at a random page - and while keeping your eyes closed you will point at a line or passage in the book."
I have a new idea for: "Bibliomancy"...
What if instead of - "Selecting a random passage from the Bible",
We associate the current time with a passage from the bible?
The chapters and verses that will be displayed for analyses will be based off of the input of the current time,
For example: A simple one would be,
@ 1:00 AM = Genesis - The Beginning
I will go ahead and give meaning to "AM" & "PM" n' so on and so forth,
AM = OldTestament (&) PM = NewTestament.
The left side of the current time ... *Hour* ... represents - "Chapter#",
The right side of the current time ... *Minute* ... represents - "Verse#".
Whatever time it is now,
Look up that chapter and verse in either the (O.T. if it's AM - or N.T. if it's PM) in the bible - to see what - *right now* means. ~
Also... what if we had [1-12 AM] and [1-12 PM] mapped out with the passages of the bible,
And made a php application that instead of displaying the time in "realtime",
It displays a passage from the bible that is linked to the current time,
So that in "realtime" - you get to see what might happen at the given moment... how people or groups might behave based on the history of the bible,
Like a "realtime" bible divination program.
I could provide that application,
Just not promising that I will have it done by any specific time,
It will take up most of the time of my day - so I will need at least a week,
Do to my daily family drama.
I will either host this web application through my web server on my android phone with a live domain name,
Or if that is against the rules,
Perhaps I can somehow convert it to an app *for the android phone* to be downloaded as an "apk".
Else,
I shall post the source code here.
Unless of course... someone beats me to it. ~
What do y'all think of this method?
