1 | Code to the Bible? | Bible general Archive 1 | Hank | 54881 | ||
GeeVee: There have been many articles published about arcane "Bible codes," but the one to make perhaps the biggest splash was published in 1997. Called "The Bible Code," it was authored by Michael Drosnin, and attempted to prove that there are encrypted messages contained within Scripture. I read the book and was neither impressed by it nor convinced that it made any sense. Does it not strike you as singularly odd that God would so encode His word that it could be broken only by a modern-day computer? That would mean, of course, that His people in many centuries past were not made privy to this code and had to make do with what He said in intelligible language. Well, I'm one Christian who is quite content to "make do" with what He says clearly and I am still working to understand better what Scripture clearly says. --Hank | ||||||

Greetings Hank! I most definitely concur, my friend, that the Bible is not a book of "crossword" puzzles or codes, but it is the message of salvation for all humankind. Anyone who studies the Bible merely for the enjoyment or study of "codes" is wasting and misusing the most precious message that man has ever known. Blessings to you, Makarios |

Thank you for the info. I was curios to know more about the topic, not for the sake of mental calistenics. Your point is well taken. It most definitely is the message of salvation and everything else is secondary. GeeVee |
