Bible Note: 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 |
