Jo.2:4 Is there a disrespect?
dave:
My thoughts...on 6 ...man was created on the sixth day.
This was a happening, the fact that Jesus, the disciples, and His mother were at a wedding and things happened, makes it a happening.
The comleteness is the servants doing what they are asked, the pots being filled to the brim and that the best wine was kept for the last.

Dear Peace and Love Through Jesus,
We are counseled, taught and instructed to “Pay attention to the words.” L Ray Smith
Type the word six into e-sword and you get it no less than 190 times in the Scriptures!
We know that God’s words are Spirit and Truth. He speaks with us in symbols parables and metaphors.
Rightly or wrongly, the symbolic meaning of the word six, is not expounded here in BT. I think it is safe to say that everything about God and every Word of God, is not disclosed to us yet. Also there is no one anywhere, everywhere, any time, who has published everything there is to yet know about God.
Every one of us is at our own individual point of understanding God. It would be nice if we were all the same but we’re not. Some are ahead of us and some behind us and that is applicable to ALL OF US.
To disarm contention, defuse inferiority complexes and the divisive spirit of comparison from gaining influence, the BTF permits only that we share discussion around what has already been documented and expounded by Ray Smith. That’s not a small territory to begin with either! It is a solid runway to the flight path into the vast Kingdom of Gods Spirit and Truth.
If you want to discuss things that are not published by Ray, then the PM lines accommodate that exchange, or email also may suffice. The purpose of the BTF is to clear the spiritual flightpath for takeoff and have no Lear Jets, Tom Cat F16’s or Cessna’s landing on the run way!
My regrets to both you and BTF and its valuable members and Moderators, that I may have inadvertently, given the clearance to land! :( God works all things together for good. :)
Blessings

Micah, no problem and nothing to apologize for. Every once in a while a post gives a moderator pause to consider what is being discussed. We realize the "No Teaching" rule is confusing and about as "clear as mud", how can any discussions not have some of our own "ideas" or "teaching" come through? That said, Deb said it better than I...

Don't anyone be afraid to post, just try to keep the spirit of the no teaching rule in mind and if needed the moderators will sort it out. But what if a member has been given new revelations? I'm sorry, but the moderators are not here to make the judgment if it is of God, so in those instances we will step in.

Yes, but a spiritual match is not simply having the same word, number, object, etc. being used in a scripture. They have to be in accord with one another, as in speaking of the same truth. Here's two examples from scriptures using the word 'fire': http://forums.bible-truths.com/index.php/topic,12517.0.html
Finding the same word in e-sword is a good start, but then spiritual discernment is required to understand what is a spiritual match and what is simply the same word being used to show another perspective.

Hey Micah 7:9
I have no doubt that the numbers used in the Bible have a meaning when used in conjunction with the happening, or the historical account being described.
When I was young I knew of a man in my area that went around giving talks on Bible numbers, and how they are used in the scriptures and how they repeat. He also had a definition that he gave for each one. He would sale you a book for three dollars or so, ??? that you could buy and use in your own studies.
I bought one at his shoe repair shop and read it through with great interest, it depends on who you are talking to as to what they say the number stands for.
As I heard a preacher that totally disagreed with him on the number 3, I believe it was.
I came across several books on the subject back at that time (1976) and one man went to court over plagiarism, concerning the subject.
It is a interesting subject when reading the Bible and when it gives a certain number, to check it out in other places where the same number is used. Like say the #40, Moses was 40 years as a Shepard before the burning bush, and the children of Israel were in the desert wilderness for 40 years also.
One is God, two is a wittiness, three is perfect, four is dispensations, five is grace, six is man, seven is completeness, eight is rebirth, nine is fruits of the Spirit, ten is Law, eleven is incompleteness, twelve is government.
He went on to give a definition for other numbers as well, are these all correct? I don't know, are they written in stone?
It is an interesting subject, and I think of that man sometimes, he said he was half Jew on his mothers side. He died in 93 I think.
