I've always believed that the so-called Bible codes are a load of codswallop.

I checked in the dictionary. It's the British way of saying: "nonsense". I'm going to use it at work and check people's face. I like the sound of it. :noidea:

I hope they won't think I'm insulting them! :noidea::noidea:

Some years ago, on a Christian radio station, there was a commercial regarding the so-called Bible code. The end of the commercial ran something like this:

1st guy: ... so if you take every 5th letter of John 3:16, you get the word finglehertz! Which is Swedish! For cold spaghetti!! That means something!!!!!

2nd guy: Will you just read the plain verse?

Although it's possible that God could have hidden random patterned messages in His word, I think the whole code thing got out of hand.

2 Timothy 3:16-17 "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work."

God wants us to understand His Word. Why would he hide information? Some people say it's information that is "proof" of His Omniscience. He proved this through demonstration and didn't need to wait 2000 years to evidence His Omniscience!

This verse also tells us that the Word can also be taken at face value. (As do other scriptures which I can provide if anyone wants them.) Growing in our walk with God requires time spent in fellowship with Him, being in the Word, applying what we read, and obedience. There isn't anything that says we need to search for hidden codes. Jesus and the disciples are often referencing other scriptures. Not once do they mention, or look for, hidden codes.

Maybe I didn't state what I meant clearly enough. What I meant to say is that while it's possible that God could have, I don't think it's likely. As I said in the rest of my post, God wants us to understand His Word so why would He hide truths in it?

The reason I have to acknowledge the possibility is because there appear to be some Bible code results which seem to reveal specific information. Because of this, I can't rule out the possibility that God could have done this.

There is not sufficient evidence to rule out the possibility, but there is not sufficient evidence or reason to believe that God would do this. To clarify, I am much more inclined to believe that there is nothing to it, but must admit to a remote possibility that there could be something to it. :)

True!!!

I didn't mean to indicate that you believed that God would hide His truths within this so called "Code" for the remainder of your post clearly states your possition on this topic...

I was however, merely using your opening statement to oppose the idea that God would hide such truths...

but as you stated:

There is not sufficient evidence to rule out the possibility, but there is not sufficient evidence or reason to believe that God would do this.

Thanks Mikeyjay. I know you weren't trying to infer that I believed God hid His truths. I saw your post as my not making my point clearly enough. I'm always on the look out for times when I do that. It can cause confusion and I like to avoid it! :thumbsup:

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
