I agree with these observations. As history has shown before, people have been to eager to find 'miracles' in numerology of the bible only to find out later that these 'miracles' were merely coincidental. I wonder if you are correct in your statement that nowhere in the Bible is written that God would communicate to us through numerology ? If that is the case, then we should be careful interpreting such numerology. For all we know it is the work of someone else.
Glenn:
A case in point. I don't beleive that the translators of the Scripture were infallible or divinely inspired. They and their work attempted to translate the Holy Scriptures into King James English. As we know, they made many mistakes. But if numeralogy is to be our guide, they were super humans. Or, it might be that they conspired to have this coincidence by careful writing. How can we tell?>>
Indeed, it is dangerous to believe that the Scriptures were infallible or divinely inspired. Especially with numerology which depends on careful, error-free translation to maintain the 'message'. Imagine how easy it would have been to lose the 'message' in translations or transcriptions ?
Glenn:
The chain always ends on the word 'God.' >>
Interesting.
Glenn:
But you can do that with lots of books where chain ends up with the same word somewhere along the way and after that, all words are the same and you can stop the chain on whatever word you want.>>
Yes, similar finds have be made for the 'bible codes'. If you look long enough, you are likely to find 'miraculous' writings.
