1 | meaning of numbers in the bible | NT general Archive 1 | Makarios | 22001 | ||
Dear Kalos, You write, "I have come to realize that the only valid way to truly discover what the writers of Scripture intended to communicate is to accept what is written at *face value*. By face value I mean the normal, natural, customary sense of the text intended by the Author/author at the time it was written" I see no other way than to take what is written in the Bible at face value. If we do not take what is written in the Bible at face value, and add some *other interpretation* that is different from the interpretation gathered from face value, then we have an interpretation "that is in error", thus leading to a CULT! The Bible (taken at face value) teaches that Scripture alone is the supreme and infallible authority for the church and the individual believer. This is not to say that creeds and tradition are unimportant, but the Bible alone is our final authority. Creeds and tradition and numerology are man-made. (2 Tim. 3:15-4:5) Jesus said, "Scripture cannot be broken" (John 10:35). Jesus used Scripture as the final court of appeal in every matter under dispute. He said to some Pharisees, "You nullify the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down" (Mark 7:13). So, following Jesus' lead, the Scriptures alone are our supreme and final authority! And we are asked not to take the Scriptures at face value?? The one who does NOT take the Scriptures at face value is the one in error. An Interesting Note: -------------------------- Also, have you ever noticed that Casiv, Serenetime and Praisemaster are NEVER logged in on this Forum at the SAME TIME???? :-) Grace to you my friend!

Nolan: You write: "Also, have you ever noticed that Casiv, Serenetime and Praisemaster are NEVER logged in on this Forum at the SAME TIME???? :-)" Yes, I have noticed that. Likewise, have you ever noticed that you never see Clark Kent and Superman together at the same time? What do you make of it? kalos |

To Kalos,and Nolan, I'm sorry, but somehow you both continue to confuse all of us. I've even asked Nolan to go back to where the question was where it was asked " the seal and the horse in the same verse" by Casiv. I gave an explanation to SirPent, but somehow this continues to be a confusion. I am completely separate from Casiv, and Praisemaster whom I've already explained is my husband. Why is it so necessary for this to continue on with the jokes. I may not always agree with someone's way of interacting on the forum, but I'm sorry if you feel that if we are not on the forum at the same time, then it's because that you think we are all one person. But I can guarantee that it we will be on at the same time sooner or later, it's bound to happen. Please quench that somehow this is the reason for this. But myself and Praisemaster will never be on at the same time unless we are on together, cause of having only one computer. Your suspicions are unjustified. If you would only choose to read what I wrote to SirPent as I have asked Nolan previously. Would Jesus want this to continue on this way? Are we not to strive to be more like him. Yes, we have all studied together in the past, But I tell you truly that we are all individuals, separate from one another. I'm asking you as a fellow Christian and a friend to address us separately, And PLEASE take the time to read my explanation to SirPent on that question, and put a rest to this so we all can continue on in harmony. As for using numerics in the bible, Using chapter and verse is not the correct way as Casiv has stated. My Husband Praisemaster when he has the time is writing a thesis on how Biblical numbers are to be used in the right way. And he is quite convinced that if you would all put your agitation aside for a moment that you would all be pleasantly surprised how the biblical numerics really works. For it proves itself. My Husband almost left this sight completely, but feels that the way some things have been handled by both sides have denied us all of reaching a deeper truth of the Bible. But my Husband wants all to know that he doesn't agree with Casiv's approach and use of Biblical numerics by chapter and verse. But regarding what I believe was Ray's suggestion on theomatics, we would both like to read this. My husband told me he is expecting that as soon as his name is put upon anything i this forum, that he will be insulted and and ridiculed because everytime he has gotten on this, it has been done. And he has been on this site the least amount compared to to me and Casiv. THANK YOU, In Love, Serenetime | ||||||
