Bible Question:
Thank you sir. I appreciate that. I heard that there is a "code" to the Bible, which is now known. I heard a story of a few scholars who tried to write 1 paragraph using the same code and were unable to do so. And yet the entire Bible is written so. Can somebody enlighten me further on this code?

Bible Answer: 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 |
