The codes are solely in the Masorite texts, for the purpose of assuring that the text is unmodified.
It is clearly the work of God, as proven by extensive statistical analysis. The probability of them happening by accident is nil.
and who decided what the code is?
Who decided that every 9th letter on every 4th page or whatever would be it?
How do we know someone didn’t find a bunch of letters and then decide to make a code that fit it?
Humans devised the code, not God.
Thanks editor——nice input. My question is if God is an absolute mathematical genius then why could there not be numerical significance from the original Hebrew words?
PS. I posted this twice because I’m interested to find out more—not get excoriated for it, ehehehe.
mmm...
I thought all good Christians know the Septuagint is the God-given text of the Bible, and that the Masoretic text was the edited version made up by Jews a mere thousand years ago.
That would mean those ‘codes’ are a Jewish invention, probably intended to denigrate Christianity!
