Bible Question:
Are the Bible codes real? I am interested in people’s outlook on the issues of ELS codes, theomatics and old-earth creationism. I realize that Drosdin is not a Christian and his entire attitude stinks but Grant Jeffrey and Yacov Rambsel seem to have their head screwed on right and their heart in the right place. Del Washburn is a real hero in his dedication to God his Father. Hugh Ross has definitely pioneered the way for a merger of science and bible knowledge (not religion). I find it amazing how many people refuse to pay any respect to these disciplines. How about you? |
Bible Answer: Greetings, rrscott; Bible codes are numerology, nothing more. There is nothing in the Bible itself to suggest that "searching the Scriptures" for magic numbers has any value or validity. I don't believe that god plays parlor games with his Word. Hugh Ross, like Galileo before him, challenges us to re-examine our assumptions about the relationship between the general revelation of the created universe and the special revelation of the Bible. Both revelations point to God; one day we will see that they do not contradict one another. Peace and grace, Steve aka Indiana Jones |
