weekend
Yesterday was great! Heard two sermons and a cool college class lesson. The sermon last night was on Proverbs 5, in which Pastor Olivetti gave the truth about the temptress and ways to avoid her horrible death trap. One word: Distance. In the college class Mr. Humphreys continued his typological study of the book of Judges. We had a very vigorous discussion about the significance of Jericho and the use of deceit in the work of the Lord. He went a little far when he started dealing with the meaning behind multiples of Joshua's age when he died (110= 11x10, 11= # of disciples-Judas & # of tribes - Dan) but everything else was intriguing. But that brings me to an interesting topic for your opinions:
Why did God put so many numbers in the Bible?
Is it just to show historical accuracy,
do they correspond (600 chosen chariots destroyed in Red Sea><>
or does every part of every number have special meaning {[(600 squared/10000) -1 ]/5 = 7= perfect number}?
Also how bad would it be to be a trained warrior and get killed by an ox goad? I mean come on, It's like Dude 600 of you guys with swords and shields can't even take out a little guy with an ox goad? LOL
I love the way God fights for His people! (It's got to be SO humiliating for His opponents)

blogger really messed up the colors this time.
Josh is pressuring me to answer his question. I honestly don't have any idea. I have never given it a lot of thought. The Bible is God's word and as such everything does have a purpose.
As far as the colors go... I agree, the blogger really messed up the colors!
He put the numbers in that he did because he thought they were important for some reason that he may or may not reveal to me. Got to watch how far you take the significance of numbers though. If you start coming up with mathmatical equations that prove Moses wore pink flip flops, you might have gone to far.
Oh speaking of pink, yeah that's pretty funny that your blog is in christmas colors now lol. Your a little late though.
Lol, Josh really does like Christmas deep down...
I'm totally in the historical importance camp. Sometimes numbers did signify things, but usually they were way more clear than "eight years of oppression being like the eight days before a baby boy was circumcised" or anything that far-fetched. I'm with Bonnie.
Sorry guys. The red was suppoed to be for Four lines only. I think blogger must have missed the code for ending the color change. I might have to change my template unless it gets fixed really soon.
