1 | is the NIV a good bible to read? | Bible general Archive 1 | Morant61 | 16047 | ||
Greeting Ray! I checked into more than just the front cover. This is a bunch of nonsense. Let's look at their example of the fish. They say: - 153 Fish were caught. - Fishes equals 153 times 8. - The Net equals 153 times 8. - Multitude of Fishes equals 153 times 8 times 2. Here is why this is nonsense. Fishes (ichthuwv), using their numbering system, totals 1329. 1329 divided by 153 equals 8.686. Why don't they round up? How come one can get an 8. something answer by dividing by anything from 148 to 166. Each of these divisors will produce an 8. something result. There are two problems with this system. 1) First of all, it is nonsense. One can plug almost any number into a passage and FIND a supposed meaning. 2) Secondly, Scripture is God's self-revelation. Why would He HIDE codes and meanings in the text? This is just another money making scheme to prey on guillable Christians, who aren't satisified with the clear meaning of Scripture. Instead, they want to be able to TWIST the Bible to say whatever they want it to say. I highly recommend the Bible and urge everyone to stay away from just garbage!
