I read another site in which many of the writers are proficient in gematria, that is, attaching numbers to letters, for example...666. It can get quite intricate and the professors of that can make all kinds of things sound and look quite convincing. Not being a numbers person, I don't even try to follow it all, but I do wonder a couple of things...
1. I suppose that God can, if He wishes, make His wishes clear through this method, even though I, for one, can't follow it or...
2. Is it another 'man-made' formula? or process that is sometimes used to attempt to discern God's will?
I don't doubt the sincerity of the writers in their devotion, but to me, there are a lot of things, like dreams, visions, words of knowledge, etc. that may be legitimate, but since I have never experienced them, I don't know how much weight to give them. So, does anyone have any thoughts on gematria, bible codes and related things? Thanks, RJ.
