Jensen, I think you fail to have a open mind about numbers. I have done extensive research on biblical numerics, and I've come to the conclusion that they are very prevalent in the Word of God. I never heard Casiv say he was reading Taro cards, or hallmark cards or using poker cards and that he was giving your future, by calling him Miss Cleo was wrong. All he's asking is that you seek it it out. Yes there are more Taro readers out there. everyday on the T.V. It's to steer even the Christians away from the Bible, Doesn't Jesus say "seek and you'll find". If you believe that the Word of God was inspired by God and you want to know all there is to know about the Word, and I know you do, then you will find that there is a significance. First of all there is in every book in the Bible what they call Introverb, and Introbrae, which means that it begins in one subject and ends in the same way. By this you can see that it wasn't written by man. It is written in such a complex way that there is no man who with his intelligent can write it in such a numeric way.Take the time in reading the scriptures, and notice this. Just reading and thinking you know what it means in these end times is not enough. You know when someone will ask, "How can you tell me that the Bible is true?". Every Christian I know says the same thing and most people don't see it. I'm very fortunate to have a Companion Bible to lead the way for me, and it is very necessary to have Strongs Concordance to trust to give you the true meaning of the Word of God . It gives you the true meaning of every word in the Old Testament ( Hebrew, Chaldee, Aramaic), and in the New Testament, the Greek. See I have a problem with anyone that tells you to read a book by someone else. Didn't Jesus say, "trust no man?" Yes, God is there by his Spirit giving you understanding, but we as one's seeking the scriptures are not to just sit back and overlook what it underlying, or obvious. I ask as a concerned friend, that you just make an honest effort to seek them out more thoroughly, and if I'm wrong, then I'll back down. But by insulting Casiv is wrong. We as fellow seekers needing to be there for one another. In the Father's Love, Serenetime | ||||||

Numerics -- "magic apologetics" "The new apologetic Crouch discovered that day is popularly referred to as "Equidistant Letter Sequencing" (ELS). I, however, prefer to call it magic apologetics. At first blush it appears compelling. On closer examination, it is little more than "smoke and mirrors." "Its proponents would have us believe God has encoded secret messages in Scripture that are being discovered in these last days. (...) "Cultic Counterparts. Like its older manifestation, "Bible numerics" (reading mystical numerical symbolism into Scripture), ELS is best described as a pseudoscience. World religions, such as Islam and Judaism, and cultic movements, such as the Nation of Islam and the Baha’is, have long used these methods. "Muslims have used both numerics and ELS in a vain attempt to prove that Allah is the only true God and Muhammad is his prophet. In addition, they use these methods to "prove" that Christianity is false. Jewish cabalists embrace these methods as tools for winning lapsed Jews back to the faith through the Israeli-based "evangelism" movement Aish Ha Torah (Hebrew for "Man of the Law"), which promotes ELS "Discovery Seminars" worldwide.5 They also use ELS to "prove" that Jesus Christ was a false Messiah. "Nation of Islam leader Louis Farakkhan applies numerics to the Washington Monument and the street grid of Washington D.C. to "prove" that the city was designed as the nerve center for a white conspiracy against people of African descent. Baha’is (sic) design their buildings to repeatedly replicate significant number combinations, much like an infinite hall of numeric mirrors" (STATEMENT DE269 PRACTICAL APOLOGETICS: Magic Apologetics by Hank Hanegraaff. http://www.equip.org/search/) |
