Sorry, got that a little wrong: Quote Ed, if you count the Aces and 2 jokers as 1, the 2 as 2, the 3 as 3, . . . ., the jack as 11, the queen as 12, and king as 13, they add up to….365, as in 365 days in a year!Add in only one joker and they add up to 365.What if it's a leap year? Then you add in the other joker to get the 366.

Furthermore, I'm told that if you add up the letters in “ace (or “one”), two, three, four, …..king” in most major languages, (french, english, spanish, german, etc) they add up to…..52!Coincidence?

Ed, there are 52 weeks in a year, and 52 cards in a deck.Ed, each year is broken into 4 seasons and each deck into 4 suits.Ed, if you count the Aces and 2 jokers as 1, the 2 as 2, the 3 as 3, . . . ., the jack as 11, the queen as 12, and king as 13, they add up to….365, as in 365 days in a year!Coincidence?Or message from God?

but isn't there a thread for your bible code stuff? You shouldn't be pushing it in other threads.

Ed, if you answered my question, can you point to the page. I don't really have time to read 20 pages. Did you actually address my question in the past 20 pages?

Hi Ed, ok, I don't know which site you are getting your information from. You keep saying things that simply aren't true.Maybe like 1%-3% of witnesses would do that (whether their children are baptized or not.) They would not leave their children in need if they needed the money. I think you confuse JW's with the Catholic church, who tried to…[Read more]

Quote Hi LU,I will answer one thing at a time. The absence of something does not negate the existence. (“Why the HS is not listed in these verses…”)I could take the quotes about the HS and ask why God isn't mentioned….does that mean that God doesn't exist?–DBFunHi David,The argument is not whether the holy spirit exists. No one has…[Read more]

Quote Is 54:5 “For your husband is your Maker, Whose name is the LORD of hosts;Who is the wife?In a figurative sense Jehovah spoke of Israel as his wife by reason of his covenant with the nation. (Isa 54:6) Such language is not uncommon. The apostle Paul speaks of Jehovah as the Father of spirit-begotten Christians, and he speaks of “the J…[Read more]

Quote Gen 1:27 God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.God chooses to call himself “Father,” not “mother.” What would you say to that.

No, I did not read all posts in this thread.Is the answer to my question a complicated one?Quote I just wonder, that if the KJ has God's secret code, a secret message from God, then why would God limit this secret message to so few?Another question would be, which version of the KJ? The original?

Really, anyone can spend as much time as they want preaching the good news that Jesus commissioned us to preach. (Mat 28:19,20)If a person says, 'I'm going to spend more than the usual amount of time in June, because I'm on holidays and have extra time,' they may choose to auxilery pioneer for example, that is, spend 50 hours preaching that month.…[Read more]

Quote If you put together Spirit Elohim and translate it as God's Spirit you'll see that Spirit is a part of Elohim.Then put together YHVH Elohim and translate it as God's YHVH you will see that YHVH is NOT a name, but a part of Elohim, just like Spirit.The problem is, the rest of the scriptures.We do have many cases where Jehovah's spirit is used…[Read more]

On a lighter note, it is EloHIM, not EloHER.Case closed.:)

Quote Maybe this might make it easier to understand if I put the two words in this order:RuachElohimYHVHElohimTranslated they are:Elohim's RuachElohim's YHVHWhy does it have to be translated “God Jehovah” Could it not be “Jehovah God” (YHVHElohim)Quote Linguistically Ruach and YHVH are not names.““I am . That is my name;”–Is 42:8
