Our God seemingly likes to work in sevens...

That is interesting on so many different levels.

"Our God" as opposed to the Jewish God or the Moslem God or the Mormon God or the Catholic God. Tribalism on display here folks.

"likes to work in sevens" superstition, numerology, anthropomorphizing God, etc. take your pick : )

Freud might have been on to something.

Surely, LeGrande, you've encountered the Biblical phrase, "The Lord, our God" somewhere in your life? (Hint: It's replete in Scripture from Deut to the rest of the Bible?...Now you're not chastising me for failing to put "The Lord" in front of the "our God" phrasing, are you???)

...as opposed to the Jewish God

Well, L, as I just mentioned to the Jews, he was "our God" too "The Lord, our God, is one"...you're not sending an e-mail to all the Jewish synagogues of the world asking them if they are displaying "tribalism" are you?

Yes? (Consistent?)
No? (Inconsistent then?)

...anthropomorphizing God,

No, the Lord chose the mathematical reality of 7-day weeks (not me).
The Lord chose the mathematical reality of a 7-day Sabbath rest (not me).
Jesus Christ talked about forgiving people 7 times 70 (not me)
(I could go on)
The bottom line here is that numbers weren't created by your anthropos sourcing, were they? (I mean what? You think man created mathematical realities, or do you think man discovered mathematical realities???...which is it, Mr. LeGrande? Do mathematical realities transcend man, LeGrande, or were they invented by man?)
