Examples
of Faulting Numeric Reasoning
About
Panin (whom I respect for some things), I think that it is wrong to think
that one can ascertain the original
exact wording of biblical manuscripts by means of the numeric value of each
word and trying to work everything out to multiples of seven. If it is
true that the bible is ultimately perfect this way (and I expect that it is)
then let the (conservative) scholars of bible criticism do their work and if
it agrees in the end with the numeric then great! But not the other way
around. Objective analysis before subjective analysis always! This was my
approach to my own study of bible numbers. I used the dates that modern
scholars generally agreed on, and I did not force things even when I had to
work with several variables for some of the older dates before the exodus.
The same can be said for those that say that the book of Psalms is
supposedly corresponding to the years in the 20th century. (This example is
the work of another person other than the Bible Wheel author. Psalm 48
corresponds to 1948, Psalm 49 to 1949, etc.) This scheme is flawed, too,
because one can always find something in a given year that seems to fit any
particular Psalm because the Psalms have such a broad application to human
struggle. The Psalms are appropriate for any and every year! And for ever
year that supposedly links to a particular Psalm if one were realistic about
it, if the Psalms were chosen to fit each year by pure logic disregarding
their number, then a totally different arrangement of the Psalms to the
years would be the outcome. Simply put, the Psalms correspond to the years
of the 20th century as well as randomness would expect it to.
