You wrote, "I'm talking about divinely provided seals on the content of most of the masoretic text through messages encoded in "long equidistant letter sequences." Some of them are so long as to deconstruct the concept of probability."
By 'deconstruct the concept of probability', do you mean linguistic patterns contained within the text are not the result of chance or are you saying that these 'long equidistant letter sequences,', of themselves, refute the entire concept of probability--if by 'masoretic texts' you mean the Old Testament and if by 'deconstruct' you mean refute? Or are you just spouting arcane, obtuse gobbledygook in hopes of being taken seriously?
In my view, people poring over Scriptures, looking for hidden messages and proofs, are missing the point entirely. The whole practice borders on the concept of gnosis, revealed truth to the elect, and the Gnostics are a sorry, heretical bunch if ever there was one. Your 'proof' is suspect on a number of grounds. Christianity is not a mystery religion.

"

"In my view, people poring over Scriptures, looking for hidden messages and proofs, are missing the point entirely"
In an age that is so computer driven, and full of nay-sayers attacking the word, these people have given us astounding proof that the Bible was not just fables written by men, but the only reliable thing on Earth; a genuine communication from God.
