Again you're talking about things most people on this forum have no knowledge of...

Ushering in the hallelujah chorus.

Seven times.—“Because seven was significant of the Divine covenant with Israel, and the cure depended on that covenant; or to stamp the cure as a Divine work, for seven is the signature of the works of God” (Keil). In the Assyrian monuments there is an almost exact parallel to the above method of seeking a cure. It occurs among the so-called exorcisms, and belongs to the age of Sargon of Agadê (Accad), before 2200 B.C. Merodach is represented as asking his father Hea how to cure a sick man. Hea replies that the sick man must go and bathe in the sacred waters at the mouth of the Euphrates. It thus appears that in bidding Naaman bathe seven times in the Jordan, Elisha acted in accordance with ancient Semitic belief as to the healing virtue of running streams.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

Is your life more Christian like now?

Someone needs to ask ole 37 why didn’t Elisha have Naaman dip himself 37 times in the Jordan.

37 goes into seven...oh wait!

 

[James37]

The number patterns you refer to... have you demonstrated that they exist only in the KJV and not in other translations? Have you demonstrated that the same patterns exist in the original languages? If not "yes" to both, you're overextending yourself and speaking non-truths.

Nobody needs to prove that the patterns don't exist; that is another attempt at a burden-of-proof reversal. I'm surprised you haven't learned this yet, given the number of times I've called you on it.

You have made the assertions; you step up with the evidence.

Others have researched the patterns in the Hebrew and Greek not me. I have posted their research on the thread "The Number 37 and The Holy Bible." As far as the modern bibles go they are missing even the most basic patterns. I can demonstrate this for you quite easily. Which bible do you prefer?

A better question is why did God put 37 genes in your mitochondrial DNA, and why when the sugars of your body are burnt there the heat maintains your body at 37 degrees celsius?

I think you're missing my point. If a specific pattern exists in the KJV but not in the original languages, it is irrelevant. Only the patterns that exist in the original languages matter to me. Whether they exist in any translation is secondary at best, because some things simply don't translate.

And God did not command Noah to take clean beasts onto the ark by "sevens" which is the main point?

"For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth." (Genesis 7:4)

Was not God preparing to cleanse the earth of wickedness?

So what? I do not see what you think you discovered.

 

[trofimus]

I would really like to know if you agree with this statement?

Maybe.

Bible is not about patterns, but about its text.

You must be very bored of the KJV text, that you are still trying to play this game.

While you are still talking about Bible, we actually know almost nothing about your theology or faith.

[KJV1611]

Both Christian creeds and Bible say that the Son was beggoten of the Father before all ages

Interested in a thread on that topic?

I am just trying to initiate a Bible study with you using nothing but the Bible. We haven't made it out of the 1st book yet and look at your attitude. I will waste no more of my time as you are obviously content with the commentary you quoted.

 

[James37]

Maybe.

You quoted it and don't even know if you agree with it or not?

The Catholics claim the same Christ as we do, do you think the dead Jesus on the popes stick is the same Jesus as ours?

I am not a catholic. Non-sequitor.

Probably because Elisha (a foreshadow of the bible) told him to do it 7 times.

FYI...I agree #’s have meanings. But 37’s obsessed with the #37

 

[James37]

Bible is not about patterns, but about its text.

Here is a question for you. Does God care about patterns?

 

[Lucy-Pevensie]

None of the numbers are hidden, you see the patterns as you read. 9 years to give birth to a child, 9 fruits of the spirit, Sahrah was 90 and 9 when she gave birth to Isaac... none of that is hidden, nor is it "hidden meaning", it's just part of the bible just like the words are part of the bible.

This I don't understand. Are you saying God couldn't or wouldn't do the number patterns in other languages?
