Yea I agree, though he but a lot of time in making all those graphs and all, I just couldn't say to him dude your way out in left field, strangely enough IMO that is how God works with anybody when folks don't understand something, God will never force anything upon anyone to believe, it is of choice for sure.
Page 153.....and still does not prove your premise that this thread is built upon.......shakes head at the foolishness of trying to prove a translation/transliteration/practically copied verbatim from earlier English versions bible is the one and only inspired version....you do know that history alone proves this thread is not correct in it's premise right?
i think that's a better question.
counting mentions of Paul or Peter don't seem to be faithful to the text. you have to delete some, and force it to fit. and 'personally blessed by Christ' people? seriously, the answer is "all people" - i suspect you have to selectively fiddle with the way you interpret "personally blessed" in order to arrive at 153.
Aware of this, Jesus withdrew from that place.

mathematicians have another joke:
ask a statistician what the numbers say?
he answers: "what do you want them to say?"

Got your panties in a wad? Good grief, you can cast aspersions at me, but get righteously indignant when I respond?
Sorry I ruffled your feathers..... I'll try to be more touchy-feely with you from now on.

why on earth did you ever say that, you don't know me to say such a thing, I posted a couple of things on numbers and all of a sudden I got a numbers fetish, please save your analogy and apology , I already know it's old time rubbish.
In the town were I live people say, panties in a crunch, lol
Look at the 153rd book of the the Old Testament and the 153rd book of the New Testament. When we first began the discussion I pointed out that the word "find" in John 21 was found 47 times in the NT (the right side of the book where we cast our net so to speak). I talked about events in Genesis 2 and 3 that led us to 1 Corinthians 4:11 and 2 Corinthians 5:3. Notice that 2 Corinthians 5:1 begins with the phrase "Let us therefore" meaning we need to examine what was said in chapter 4. 2 Corinthians 4 is the 153rd book of the New Testament and is where I believe the key to answering the question of the number 153. Study it and maybe there is "treasure" to be found.
It only 'should be randomness' if you assume that they are all meaningless character sets randomly arranged in a meaningless sequence. But this book isn't the result if a thousand monkeys in front of typewriters for a thousand years or an explosion in a print shop.
Telling ya, you're doing your probability calculation wrong, you're not using the right distribution.

No, you don't stand alone on the word of God, the BIBLE!
Let me tell you why you think you're being Sola Scriptura, or, that your standing on Scripture alone, when you in fact are not.
The things you are doing in this thread are not "based upon Scripture."
Chapter numbers, verse numbers, even the names of the books (since you absurdly used the book of "Numbers" as proof that you can chase Bible numerology) pay attention; these are not Scripture.
These were added, they are not a part of God's Word whatsoever. You are then basing your mysticism, "faith", superstition, yes, even your hope on things man added to the Word of God to enable ease of finding portions of text.
These are not inspired divisions of chapters and verses. They are not part of God's Word, nor are they from God.
You are on an unsustainable path, have left sound doctrine (if you've ever been sound in the past) and are in fact following myths and fables, not God's Word.
All I hope for is that God delivers you from this snare you are in, you are thoroughly hoodwinked and deceived.
