The Son of Man came to seek and save that which was lost. It is Jesus' favorite title of Himself. I chosen this title because Jesus loved this title of Himself. We ought to never forget that Jesus is fully God and fully man: two natures in One Person. He is the God-man, the Incarnate Second Person of the Trinity. May we mediate on His life, death, burial, resurrection and ascension that we may be conformed to the image of the divine Son of Man! This blog web site will be a Christian defense of the Reformed doctrines of the Incarnate Son of Man. May all glory be to His name!

10-Disputations on the So-Called “Bible Code” A Rational and Scriptural Refutation on the Bible Code


 
  1. There is no basis for esoteric readings of the Bible Code, but the sound interpretation of the Bible in expository words of soundness that shines like the glistening sun and moves like a beautiful stream.  “Repent and live.”

  1. The esoteric readings into numbers in the Bible are a similar error of Origen’s teaching of allegorizing the Bible!  “Renew obedience.”

  1. However, some numbers in the Bible play an important part in theology.  Numbers should not be misused, but to establish the Gospel without an overzealous zeal that takes us away from the Gospel.  “Follow the Gospel.”

  1. The number seven stands for perfection, but the number thirteen stands for God.  These numbers, however, point to Him and away from us.  We are called to live in light of the Gospel that must determine all of our lives.  “Let the Gospel determine your whole life.”

  1. Esoteric readings and providential lessons should not be confused, but to the one it is in error and to the other it is a lesson of God’s outstretching Hand.  Providence is His outworking Hand.”

  1. Esoteric things should not determine our lives, but the open proclamation of the Gospel of Good News in the majestic grace of His beautiful meritorious life and superintendent peace of His wonderful particular death for His everyone of His people; that is, all of His people will come to faithful obedience to His name.  “His divine truth must determine our lives.”

  1. Any configuration of the so-called “Bible Code” is wrong, superstitious and deceitful to God’s outstretching Hand of His unified redemption of His life and death alone that surpasses the unendingness of eternity, but as an unhyperbole hyperbole that is contained in the endlessness of eternity!  “His life and death alone is no exaggeration.  Amen.”  However, Christmas time is a good time to remember the perfected God-man who came into the world and to celebrate His Gospel birth that was predicted long ago in ages past.  Glory to the King Jesus.  Amen.

  1. The outworking of providence is seen in my discovery; that is, it is seen in the Reformed Computer that is an open book of everyone’s life and contains the secrets of the future as a spiritual wonder and mystery.  “Like gravity it always existed, but now it is openly seen in His outworking Hand to show forth His wonders in the furtherance of grace and peace.  Amen.”

  1. The essence of godly secrecy is not esoteric things like Gnosticism or the so-called “Bible Code,” but it is like Matthew 16 where Jesus charged His disciples to tell no man He was the Christ in Matthew 16:20, “Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ” (KJV).  “Spiritual secrets are not always occultic.  Amen.”

  1. Miracles are not to always be public; that is, Matthew 8:4 speaks of Jesus telling a healed man to tell no one of His miracle (Matthew 8:1-5, When he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him. And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed. And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them. And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him” (KJV).  “The essence of miracles is the glory of God.  Amen.”
