Bible Codes used to interest me, I mean the concept of hidden messages was quite fascinating. However, it only took one short moment to realize how ridiculous the code ideology was.
I was watching a so-called bible code documentary on TV, and these guys were demonstrating how you could find all kinds of things, from word placement, counting words, rearranging word letters, etc. All with a MODERN TRANSLATION
Give me a break
Talk about second-day quarterbacking.
Is this not a sign of carnal thinking. Is this not an example too of such as these attempting to change the word of God?
Rom 1:25
Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. It is however, only natural for man to seek out things in order to learn what he yet does not know. However, Christ spoke in parables so that the world would not understand. The true (spiritual) meaning of His many words of counsel spoken to the multitudes were never understood.
Mat 13:34
All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them: However, his followers were let in on the truth behind the parable.
Mar 4:34
But without a parable spake he not unto them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples Why would God choose to encode secret messages or hidden truths in modern bible text to be understood only by the unenlightened?
Not even Christ knew of the day or time of his final coming.
Matthew 24:36
But of that DAY and HOUR knoweth no man, no, not the ANGELS of Heaven, but MY FATHER ONLY.In fact Christ taught everything that he was given to teach.
John 12:48
For I have not spoken OF MYSELF; but the FATHER which sent me, He gave me a commandment, WHAT I should say, and what I should SPEAK.John 12:50
Whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.John 5:19
The Son can do NOTHING of himself, but what He seeth the Father do: for what things he doeth, these doeth the Son likewise.John 5:30
I can of mine own self do NOTHING: as I HEAR, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the FATHER which hath sent me.John 8:28
I do NOTHING of myself; but as my Father hath TAUGHT me, I speak THESE THINGS.John 14:10
The words that I speak unto you I speak NOT OF MYSELF: but the FATHER that dwelleth in me, He doeth the works.John 15:10
I have kept my FATHER'S commandments.John 14:24
The word which ye hear is NOT MINE, but the FATHER'S which sent me.John 17:14
I have given them THY WORD.I think the following Scripture speaks volumes regarding this subject.
Pro 3:5
Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. Comments welcome.....
With love in Christ,
