1 | number 5 means in the bible. | 1 Sam 17:40 | Makarios | 218633 | ||
Greetings Searcher, You ask, "Is five ALWAYS the number of God's grace or His gift to man?" Obviously, the answer is an emphatic "NO", since I only provided scriptural support for the few examples that were provided in the source that I quoted. You stated, "I thhink we a forcing Scripture even in the verses you presented." Could you please explain what you think, and preferably back it up with Scriptural verses or examples? Blessings to you, Makarios |

God's day to you, Makarios, I know you are quoting a source, but when we do we need to be ready to support it. I will point out why I differ with your source. Was Scripture provided? How are the following "God's grace or His gift to man" "There were 5 stones that David picked up to kill Goliath. God gave him the victory." ... but wasn't ONE stone that killed him? I believe it was David's faith (1Sa 17:45, Psa 9:10) "There were five loaves and fishes in which God gave to feed the multitude." ... It wasn't just the five loaves, but two fish, too (Luk 9:17). Then in Matthew 15:34, we read 7 loaves and a few fish in another feeding. Is this God's grace or His gift to man? "In the tabernacle, there were five curtains, bars, and pillars." ... There were 10 curtains (Exo 26:1 (5 and 5) vs 3), as well as 11 (6 and 5) (vs 7-9). I also see 50, so 5 isn't the only number for the tabernacle. There were also 4 pillars (Exo 36:32). The numbers for the objects is wrong. How is this either God's grace or His gift to man? "If Israel would have obeyed God, five of them would chase a thousand." ... Leviticus 26:8 also says 100 would chase 10,000. I like 1 chase 1000 and 2 chase 10,000 (Deu 32:30) better. S |

Hi Searcher, I hope you don't mind my stepping in here but, you are just repeating yourself with the same points you made in your previous post. I guess if you don't have anything to add then you have made your case. I think we can all agree though that 5 mostly means 5, but the Bible sometimes does put special significance to certain numbers, and I also think we all agree that we should not put too much time in studying biblical numerology because it can take our focus off the important message of the gospel. You also ask if scripture was provided. Well I guess you missed it because it indeed was. 1 Sam. 17:40; Matt. 14:17; Ex. 26:3; Lev. 26:8 John |
