    Has anyone found secret messages in the bible?

    What particularly struck me was that there was an elaborate and literary “armour” that Lewis had constructed. Specific spiritual weaponry was needed to prise off that armour and Tolkien deployed it. In approaching an evolutionist, arguments by Dr James Tour on abiogenesis might be just the...

    Has anyone found secret messages in the bible?

    Luke 11 talks in parable form about the removal of armour: 21When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace: 22But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armour wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils. I believe there...

    Up to date findings on the veracity of the Codex Sinaiticus and Codex Vaticanus. I have only been aware of this for a few years btw.

    Has anyone found secret messages in the bible?

    You might like this one. It’s one of my favourite essays by C.S. Lewis and concerns itself with “looking at” and “looking along” as distinct ideas. I would be interested in your perspective as it relates to the discussion…

    Do you dispute the additional depth in numeric examples like the 153 fish? Is it possible that Satan merely attempts to mimic God’s perfection in his obsession with occult gematria, astrology and angel numbers?

    Perhaps if @NTNT58 were to substitute “additional depth” for “secret message” in the OP, people would better understand what the thread was discussing?

    Israel Declares War

    From Amir Tsarfati on Telegram: Vladimir Putin blames Israel: “The Palestinian problem is in the heart of every Muslim and is considered an injustice. At the time of the establishment of the State of Israel, a Palestinian state was also supposed to be established, but this did not happen. The...

    Has anyone found secret messages in the bible?

    To articulate an alternate position, I love the writings of CS Lewis and he presented a lens through which to view scripture that I held for a long time: “In the first place the kind of objection which they feel to a new translation is very like the objection which was once felt to any English...

    Has anyone found secret messages in the bible?

    To narrate the discussion there seem to be a number of ideas at play, which relate to one another but can easily muddy the waters. The first is the initial claim and the question of whether there are codes that indicate something special about the authorship of the Bible. There certainly are in...

    Has anyone found secret messages in the bible?

    I watched this when I began my journey in understanding the way the Critical Text had been elevated. Even for those who disagree, it’s worth taking into account as it is better to argue against a position someone holds than one they don’t.

    Has anyone found secret messages in the bible?

    Would it be fair to say that the ease of reading is the Trojan Horse that has brought some distorted and diluted text variants into many modern translations? I’m all for clear reading styles but not if I have to give up key passages clear in the TR in favour of those obfuscated by the Critical Text.

    As in: 1 Corinthians 20Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 21For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that...

    Has anyone found secret messages in the bible?

    Might it be worth saying that for those who feel led to look at deeper layers within scripture, we should do it in humility and not out of a spirit of dissatisfaction with the plain meaning. To seek an understanding of the depth and greatness of God so that that can be shared with the lost, not...

    Has anyone found secret messages in the bible?

    I picture apologetics like a car driving in Florida - with a map you can find the location of the rocket launch area but you will not get into space unless you get out of the car at some point and blast off! In the same way, many people are lost and driving about with false or outdated maps...

    Has anyone found secret messages in the bible?

    I think his first book was good (the one written in conjunction with the rabbi) the second one not so much when he went off with a computer program and a method, but without the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
