I've always thought of 777 as being just the mocking of people using 666. I know how...in my past I used 666 a lot, to taunt people. So, 777 is kind of cool to me now. I've never heard of the 3x7 meaning anything in particular. And I thought suicide was also unforgivable...as you can't ask for forgivness after you've commited the sin?nondisclosed_email@example.com (JCHC)Tue, 09 Jan 2007 00:55:32 +0000 Re: What does 777 mean?https://bchristiantattooassociation.runboard.com/p166301,from=rss#post166301https://bchristiantattooassociation.runboard.com/p166301,from=rss#post166301as far as I know the one unforgiveable sin was to blasphemy the holy spirit. in regards to the 777... If I saw someone with it, I don't think I would immediately think, oh, that must be a religious tattoo. I think I probably would just not know what it meant. Maybe you could think of adding something more obviously christian and then there wouldn't be any doubt. just a thought. nondisclosed_email@example.com (crissy7399)Sun, 07 Jan 2007 23:47:34 +0000 Re: What does 777 mean?https://bchristiantattooassociation.runboard.com/p166268,from=rss#post166268https://bchristiantattooassociation.runboard.com/p166268,from=rss#post166268Laugh if you want to, but not all serious, Bible believing Christians buy into the end-times hype promoted by the likes of Tim LaHaye and Hal Lindsey. It's important to understand the history and context of the writing of Revelation: John was imprisoned on the Greek isle of Patmos in a period of intense Christian persecution by the Roman Empire. The climate was one of paranoia and fear, and this was heightened by rumors of Nero's return. The emperor Nero persecuted the early Christians with great insane fervor. He commited suicide when it all fell around 68AD. In the 90'sAD rumors began to circulate that Nero was not really dead, and was returning to Rome to reclaim his throne! The early Christians were trembling in their boots - well - sandals - and John's writings were a call to arms to the Christians not to give up the fight. He sent letters to various churches to reinforce the need to stick with it, and concluded with a revelatory vision of the coming battle & how God would destroy their enemies (Rome). There are many names and places within Revelation that are symbolic to the people to whom he was writing. Hebrew letters all have a numerical equivalent and the number "of a man" 666 was a clear reference to the Emperor Nero - 'Nero Caesar', written in its seven Hebrew consonants (transliterated as 'Neron Kaisar'), give a value of 50+200+6+50+100+60+200, which adds up to 666. Revelation contains some colorful imagery and intense language, and that vague symbolism is what has allowed it to be constantly re-interpreted to apply to whatever age in history was current. "The mark of the beast" was initially Nero's image on coins of the time, but recently it's everything from your social security number to a barcode or a microchip implanted in you. This is why I make fun of all the superstition surrounding 666 / 777. Here are a couple favorite quotes to back up this strategy: "The best way to drive out the devil, if he will not yield to texts of Scripture, is to jeer and flout him, for he cannot bear scorn." -- Luther   "The devil...the prowde spirit ... cannot endure to be mocked." -- Thomas More nondisclosed_email@example.com (urania235)Tue, 02 Jan 2007 00:33:11 +0000 Re: What does 777 mean?https://bchristiantattooassociation.runboard.com/p166213,from=rss#post166213https://bchristiantattooassociation.runboard.com/p166213,from=rss#post166213I have to laugh a minute. The above post, if I understand correctly, implicated Nero as 666, his number. LOL. Ok, 777 you will not find directly in the bible. Remember 7 is the number of GOD, meaning heavenly, completeness, etc... Remember for everything that is good, the old devil has a negative and will twist what is good to misguide a christian from truth. Just crack your spiritual armor just enough. His goal is not to make you a satanist, he does not have too, just twist the truth. Be careful what you believe, test it with the God's Scriptures, Prayer, and the Holy Spirit. 777 is completeness, Godly and 666 is against christ or anitichrist.

At the time (brand new babes in Christ) my wife and I could have sworn we read that 777 stood for The Father, The Son & The Holy Spirit. Afterwards, however, we either couldn't find the book or forgot where we saw it. So for us (my wife got an angel with the 7's over it's head at the same time) it's a God honoring thing.nondisclosed_email@example.com (brotherobin)Sun, 17 Dec 2006 02:01:40 +0000 Re: What does 777 mean?https://bchristiantattooassociation.runboard.com/p166026,from=rss#post166026https://bchristiantattooassociation.runboard.com/p166026,from=rss#post166026it would all depend on whats being tattooed with "777", like another symbol or something. I know now what it means to you. and God knows what it would mean toyou. but for other people it might seem like your trying to tell everyone that your God. blasphemy in some way. and yeah. that poster guy is taking things a little far saying God feels they should never have been born. ultimately God knows what were doing. and for some reason he makes certain people do certain things, that just doesnt make sense to some people. If God didnt allow people to make choices that hurts themselves or other, then wed be living in a prison. without these choices, whether you are true with God or not, you would feel like you were imprisoned. and we cant really categorize all rappers to this one stereotype. what about KJ52. you wont hear about him shooting people.nondisclosed_email@example.com (autumn ashes)Thu, 14 Dec 2006 17:03:29 +0000 Re: What does 777 mean?https://bchristiantattooassociation.runboard.com/p165998,from=rss#post165998https://bchristiantattooassociation.runboard.com/p165998,from=rss#post165998From what i have been told i think there is just 1 unforgivable sin.

I want to take a poll. Since everyone here at least has the knowledge of our Saviour, WOULD YOU SEE A TATTOO OF 777 POSITIVE AND "RELIGION" BASED? If so, give ideas of what style of letters etc... you think would look good. By the way, the sevens will have to be vertical not horizontal because of where i'd put them.

I think you're on the money. In Revelation 7 is a heavenly number and 6 is a human number. 666 (ie 3 lots of 6) simply means very human. So yes in response to 666 being used as an afront to Christianity, 777 has been postulated as an answer. I think 777 is pretty cool but at best it only has an indirect basis in scripture.
