1 | number 5 means in the bible. | 1 Sam 17:40 | Wild Olive Shoot | 218637 | ||
I see Searcher's point. He stated that Scripture was being forced to say something. If Scripture, in the verses referred to, does not say that five means God's grace or gift to man, and we make it say that, then we are forcing Scripture. Bottom line. And I don't think one needs Scriptural support to back that up. It is as factual as can be. When you make it say something that isn't there, you are forcing it. Sure, numbers have significance in some measure, but to emphatically state five means this, seven means this, one thousand means this without the Biblical support to back it up, is forcing Scripture. I think in the referenced verses, five simply means five. Maybe David picked up five because he wasn't so sure the Lord would give him the victory with just one. In reality, 1Samuel 17 doesn't really indicate why five stones were picked but is very clear it took just one and who was the power behind that one. Stand in His grace, WOS |

2 | number 5 means in the bible. | 1 Sam 17:40 | stjohn | 218643 | ||
Dear Brother, WOS, I agree, and I also think Searcher made a good case With good scriptural support. He just didn't add anything or explain it any differently then in his first post. Which again, I do agree with, I certainly was not in any disagreement with us 'not' forcing scripture to say what it doesn't say. That was not my point. I guess I should have been more clear about that. Thanks John |
