Bible Note: Hi, lovesnfish... You have quite of mix of parabolic interpretation and narrative interpretation. The numerology won't help much. Looking for hidden meaning in the text usually indicates a presuppositional flaw. You will rarely go wrong if you see the plain meaning of the text. I would highly recommend the book "How to Read the Bible for All its Worth" by Gordon Fee and Douglas Stuart (Zondervan, ISBN 0-310-24604-0). It is available for less then 10 bucks. Getting back to the basics of exegetics will put you light years ahead. I promise reading that book will set you on the right path. In Him, Doc |
