Here is a beautiful sister (Angelique) who is struggling with her Wiccan past, and things like Biblical numerology can be a real stumbling block for some people. Angelique, one thing you must know is the enemy has taken things that are of God and twisted them for his own use. Don't allow such things to make you stumble in your walk with our precious Lord. There are certain numbers in the Bible that are significant, but I have not seen it to the point that some of the other posters have made it into. I don't see anywhere in the Bible where all the numbers from 1 to 15 are significant. Whether or not they are, it is not so important that it should cause anyone to stumble.

In other words, just because the number three has a deeper theological meaning in one place, does not necessarily follow that it has that same meaning in all places it is used This is exactly true. The "typology of numbers" does not always have deeper theological significance. Sometimes a number is just a number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly how is this different?? Numbers have meaning and significance. Is the difference in the meaning of the numbers???? What do you mean when you say you know how to "do numerology". Ummm, I really really don't want to sidetrack the topic but to answer your question, I have studied numerology and am quite good at it which is why I'm trying to get the difference. :taped: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 .... but to answer your question, I have studied numerology and am quite good at it which is why I'm trying to get the difference. If It Leads Only To The Lord Jesus Christ = It Is Good If It Points Anywhere Else = It Is Bad One For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. Ephesians 2:8-9 Way Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. Proverbs 17:17 One Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:2 Name Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. Acts 4:12 One For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16 LORD Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: Deuteronomy 6:4 One In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. John 1:1-3 Assurance Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen. Jude 1:24-25 Only One Be Blessed Beloved Of The LORD The LORD bless thee, and keep thee: The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace. And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel; and I will bless them. Numbers 6:24-27 Love, Your Brother Joe Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer. Psalms 19:14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
