1 John 3 MSG: 13. So don't be surprised, friends, when the world hates you. This has been going on a long time.
WELL SAID.
As a well experienced counselor, such should no longer surprise me as much as it does.
Sometimes I still have this delusional thinking that believers should be quite logical.
When, actually, the attitudes of their hearts and their personality dynamics decide a lot more theological and other issues than logic does.
But, Christ seemed to know that when He walked around dealing with the very religious, as well.
Please let me know if you believe you have any Spirit born sense, hunch, insight.
Blessings,

The Controversy Over Mosaics: Round Five Continued
Let There Be Light
In this issue, we present one of the most striking of Bauscher's intriguing findings based on wrapped text searchesagain using a divine name for the ELSs to be examined. Bauscher has posted the results of a broad range of his research on his web site.
We will look at Bauscher's search results for the Hebrew word for light, OWR (Alef-Vav-Resh). The following graph provides a comparison of the Z-Values of the deviations of the actual number of occurrences from the expected number, for a full range of skip size categories.
The Z-Value is the actual difference divided by the square root of the expected number of occurrences. If the Light mosaic from the Peshitta behaved in the same manner as the Light mosaic from the control text, virtually all of the Z-Values would fall within the range of -3 through +3. And the Z-Values would randomly vary above and below zero. In great contrast to this, 27 of the 46 Z-Values (or 58.7%) from the Peshitta text fall outside the range of values from the control text.
And the Z-Values form a wave pattern much like that of a light wavewhich is most curious since this is the mosaic of the Hebrew word for light.
The next graph shows the results from the control text as a comparison. Its scale is the same as that for the Light mosaic graph from the Peshitta. Obviously, the control Z-Values are truly miniscule by comparison and are randomly positive or negative.
The above mosaics summarize comparisons of the differences between the expected and actual number of occurrences of the Light ELS in the wrapped Peshitta and a parallel control text. Within each, the Light ELS is expected to occur 130.3 million timeswith skips of 1,000 or greater. Given the law of large numbers the Z-Values for nearly all the differences between actual and expected should fall between -3 and +3. Instead, the Z-Value for Light ELSs with positive skips is -20.58.
Such a Z-Value is so far outside the range of results anticipated for random phenomena that we should conclude that it cannot be due to chance. And the Z-Value for Light ELSs with negative skips is +24.21, even further outside the range of expected results.
In contrast, the corresponding Z-Values for the control text are quite small (+0.36 for Light ELSs with positive skips, and -0.21 for negative skips.
In considering the size of the radical departures from random behavior exhibited by the Light mosaic in the Peshitta, it should be emphasized that by using a wrapped text, any bias due to differences in letter frequencies between various parts of the text has been eliminated. And yet, this powerfully striking mosaic exists!
The next table shows the specific differences between the actual and expected number of occurrences of the Light ELS for the entire range of skip sizes. The values in this table directly correspond to those in the above graphs, except that the differences have been converted to Z-values. For each of the skip size ranges, the expected number of occurrences of the Light ELS is 2,845,167. An exception is the first skip size range, which is smaller, ranging only from 1,000 to 10,000while all of the positive skip size ranges are 10,000 wide. Another exception is the first negative skip size range (i.e., that for -1,000 to -10,000). For each of these, the expected number of occurrences of the Light ELS is 2,560,679.

This section is about a fascinating discovery in view of all the hoopla about the hoax called THE DA VINCI CODE. It is the last of several earlier [in this Digest--see the website] sections exploring what appears to be an authentic Bible Code clueing the reader in that the Da Vinci Code is fraudulent.

Appendix: A Table of Terms About The Da Vinci Code
> Researched by Moshe Aharon Shak
Copyright © January 2005 by Moshe Aharon (Morris) Shak
Note: *The serious Bible Code student should review the September 2004 issue of the BCD. In my article, "What is a code" under the section "What's in a name." I discuss the issues of using names in a matrix. The name Leonardo, the key term in this matrix, appears in the matrix as it is commonly used. On the other hand, a name like Robert is typically spelled with a tet not a taf. On the Internet for example, you will find 24 Roberts with a taf, as opposed to many thousands with a tet.
From my perspective, the matrix produced significant results without the list of heroes. With the exception of Mary Magdalena, the fictitious names are not relevantin my opinion. The question of should we or should we not consider them is still an art in my view. Unfortunately, so many people will use any transliteration to "scientifically prove" a code.

The Bible Code Digest is published by a group of scientists and writers dedicated to a search for the truth. Our goal is provide accurate, unbiased reporting of news about cutting edge Bible code research conducted by our own group as well as by other credible researchers. We endeavor to report on the significant findings of Jewish, Christian and secular researchers, regardless of their views regarding the potential validity of some Bible codes. We present a variety of viewpoints on Bible codes and often accompanying spiritual matters in these web pages, but we don't necessarily agree with all of them. Our view is that God created codes in the Bible because He loves us and wants to show us another facet of His omnipotence and omniscience.
