1 | David selected 5 stones. Why five? | Gen 1:1 | kalos | 147654 | ||
There are five letters in the English word Jesus. How many letters are there in the same word in Hebrew, Greek, Latin, Swahili, etc.? I don't know. By the way, the name of the LORD is YHWH -- nearly 7,000 times in the OT. |

2 | David selected 5 stones. Why five? | Gen 1:1 | Hank | 147656 | ||
Kalos: Today this pilgrim went upon Mount Ozark there to consult with the World's Wisest Wizard, Cousin Caleb Cuthbert, thus to find peace by obtaining an answer to the question, "Why did David select five stones?" .... Cousin Caleb had the answer, as I knew he would, because Cousin Caleb knows many things -- about shoes and ships and sealing wax and even cabbages and kings and why bathtubs have rings and a bee stings and a bird sings and a pong pings. Cousin Caleb said to me, "How many tribes were there in Israel?" I said, "Twelve." He then said, "And how many days in the week?" I said, "Seven." He then said, "Subtract seven from twelve. What do you get?" I said, "Five." Then Caleb said, "See there, wasn't that easy? That's why David used five stones, don't you see?" I said, "Yes, I see it clearly now." ..... What a revelation! and to think it was right before my eyes all the time. But it took the wisdom and razor-sharp mind of Cousin Caleb Cuthbert to point it out to me. I'm so powerfully grateful to have Cousin Caleb in the family. When he speaks, I listen. --Hank | ||||||

Hank: Makes sense to me. As we all know, all Bible commentators, writers, preachers, translators, and others give nothing but their own opinions. And one opinion is as good as another. So we can never be sure what's true and what isn't. And by this reasoning, for all practical purposes the Bible has no meaning for us. Oh, it contains the truth, but that truth is unknown and unknowable according to this idea. --Kalos |
