Re: [asa] Vernon's other bible code (was: The Challenge (was Advice for conversing with YECs))

George,

But why would you wish to suppress things that are highly relevant to the origins debate and manifestly true? Wouldn't it be more appropriate to challenge and rebut the material I present as evidence of miracle. How can these truths be encouraged to die in a forum dedicated to the search for truth - wherever it may be found? The Lord said, "...when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth..." - but, of course, we have to be willing to allow him to do that!

  Has anybody considered how silly discussions like this will make the ASA list look to an intelligent outsider who happens upon it? Of course that consideration will carry no weight with Vernon but it should for others. I appeal to all of you - just let it alone! Do not respond to the periodic repackagings of his numerology. He will go away if no one rises to the bait.

  Shalom

Yahweh? If that's the number of Jesus, what about the number for Yahweh? Or how about God's real name, "I AM" as he told it to Moses when Moses first asked God His name? When it comes to numerology, "the devil is in the details."

Six is known as an "imperfect number" because it is one short of seven, the "perfect number" (seven days in the week, seven tongues of flame, seven spiritual gifts...). So three (the number of the Trinity) sixes is seen as extremely imperfect. Therefore, 666 represents imperfect man, while 777 represents God.
