Subject: number 5 means in the bible. |
Bible Note: Greetings WOS, My posts on this topic are not "forcing" any meaning onto Scripture. According to a simple Bible word search utility that I have downloaded from this very website, the word "five" is found in a total of 191 verses in the NASB. Since I have addressed only a very small number of occurrences of the number five in the NASB, my findings could not in any way be found to be exhaustive. Therefore, it is an overreaction to say that I am forcing any meaning onto scripture since I have only examined a very small amount of occurrences of where a subject actually comes up throughout the whole of Scripture. This is akin to saying that all people in a group wear dark clothing because I have seen five people within the group wear dark clothing. I never said that all occurrences of the number five in the Bible mean this or that, and if I only specified 5 verses or so instead of the total 191, then my findings are faulty at best. Blessings to you, Makarios |
