Would anyone here like to try something fun?

Question

There are a lot of you here who believe the Bible is just a fairy tale, just made up stories. So, I want some of you to get a piece a paper, and write something. I want you to write a geneology, could be real or fake, but I have some rules to follow. When you're done, I want the number of words you used to be divisible by 7, exactly, no remander. Shouldn't be too hard, you can play around and get a number divisible by 7. Next, I want the number of letters you used to be divisible be 7. Also, all the vowels and constants you used to be divisible by 7. All the words that begin with a vowel to be divisible by 7, and all the words beginning with a constanant to be divisible by 7. Anyone still playing? I want all the nouns used to be divisible by 7, and all the words that aren't nouns to be divisible by 7. I want all the words that are used more than one time to be divisible by 7. I want all the words that are used in more than one form divisible by 7. (Continued with added info)

I want all the male names listed to be divisible by 7. And I want all the generations listed to be divisible by 7.

This seemingly impossible task is the genealogy of Jesus Christ in the book of Matthew.

How could someone, unless he was guided by the Holy Spirit, compose such a document?

This thing with the sevens, called the Hapatic Formula, was discovered by Ivan Panin, and runs throughout the entire Bible.

Could anyone other than an Omniscient God have done this?

Answer 1

Well, for all the geniuses who spout off their trite comments about the veracity of the Bible, he is giving you a clue about how much God's hand is in the Scriptures. Just considering the last twelve chapters of Mark, what ted here has proposed as an exercise in "fun," is exactly what happened to those twelve verses.

The Greeks used letters as numbers as well. Each letter had a numeric value. When ted proposed this little exercise, he was offering a challenge to you. You might be able to do some of it, but it would be exponentially more difficult as you went on.

But this is a simple thing for God. Take a look at the link, scroll about halfway down, and you'll see for yourself.

Answer 2

Great for the Qur'an that so many words are repeated so many times but I think the point here is that 7 is the number of God, While 6 is the number of Satan. Just one more proof that the Bible is of God.

Answer 3

How the hell is this relevant to anything?

Edit: Provide evidence for your claim in the additional comments.

Also, if your god is omniscient, then there is no free-will, because free-will cannot exist with an omniscient creator. And if there is no free-will, every sin that I will ever commit has been forseen by your god, which means that I am unable to change the course of my life. In other words, your god created me specifically for the purpose of hell. Why would I worship that?

Answer 4

Are you talking about what was written in the original Greek, or what is now translated into English? If it doesn't apply to the original Greek, it doesn't mean a thing, because that's the language the New Testament was written in, not Latin or German or English...

Answer 5

I've seen magicians do this trick before. They use mathematics to define rules so everyone will come up with the same answer at the end.

It's boring after you understand how this trick is done.

Answer 6

since all numbers are divisible by 0, if u write nothing you win. that was easy.

get a life and stop with all this crap about writing stuff. yahoo answers is not for random riddles.

Answer 7

...That was not fun. Thanks for making me read a whole bunch of nothing ******!

BTW it's consonant, not constant

Congratulations, the bible is like one really long haiku, only without the five line. Isn't numerology a black art in Christianity? Better go flog yourself fundie.

Answer 8

No thank you but thank you for the 2 points.

WORD REPETITIONS IN THE QUR'AN

Apart from the miraculous characteristics of the Qur'anr, it also contains what we can term "mathematical miracles." There are many examples of this fascinating Qur'anic aspect. One example of this is the number of repetitions of certain words in the Qur'an. Some related words are surprisingly repeated the same number of times. Below is a list of such words and the number of repetitions in the Qur'an.

The statement of "seven heavens" is repeated seven times. "The creation of the heavens (khalq as-samawat)" is also repeated seven times.

"Day (yawm)" is repeated 365 times in singular form, while its plural and dual forms "days (ayyam and yawmayn)" together are repeated 30 times. The number of repetitions of the word "month" (shahar) is 12.

The number of repetitions of the words "plant" and "tree" is the same: 26

The word "payment or reward" is repeated 117 times, while the expression "forgiveness" (mughfirah), which is one of the basic morals of the Qur'an, is repeated exactly twice that amount, 234 times.

When we count the word "Say," we find it appears 332 times. We arrive at the same figure when we count the phrase "they said."

The number of times the words, "world" (dunya) and "hereafter" (akhira) are repeated is also the same: 115

The word "satan" (shaitan) is used in the Qur'an 88 times, as is the word "angels" (malaika).

The word faith (iman) (without genitive) is repeated 25 times throughout the Qur'an as is also the word infidelity (kufr).

The words "paradise" and "hell" are each repeated 77 times.

The word "zakah" is repeated in the Qur'an 32 times and the number of repetitions of the word "blessing" (barakah) is also 32.

The expression "the righteous" (al-abraar) is used 6 times but "the wicked" (al-fujjaar) is used half as much, i.e., 3 times.

The number of times the words "Summer-hot" and "winter-cold" are repeated is the same: 5.

The words "wine" (khamr) and "intoxication" (saqara) are repeated in the Qur'an the same number of times: 6

The number of appearances of the words "mind" and "light" is the same: 49.

The words "tongue" and "sermon" are both repeated 25 times.

The words "benefit" and "corrupt" both appear 50 times.

"Reward" (ajr) and "action" (fail) are both repeated 107 times.

"Love" (al-mahabbah) and "obedience" (al-ta'ah) also appear the same number of times: 83

The words "refuge" (maseer) and "for ever" (abadan) appear the same number of times in the Qur'an: 28.

The words "disaster" (al-musibah) and "thanks" (al-shukr) appear the same number of times in the Qur'an: 75.

"Sun" (shams) and "light" (nur) both appear 33 times in the Qur'an.

In counting the word "light" only the simple forms of the word were included.
The number of appearances of "right guidance" (al-huda) and "mercy" (al-rahma) is the same: 79

The words "trouble" and "peace" are both repeated 13 times in the Qur'an.

The words "man" and "woman" are also employed equally: 23 times.

Will they not ponder the Qur’an? If it had been from other than Allah, they would have found many inconsistencies in it.
(Qur’an, 4:82)
The number of times the words "man" and "woman" are repeated in the Qur'an, 23, is at the same time that of the chromosomes from the egg and sperm in the formation of the human embryo. The total number of human chromosomes is 46; 23 each from the mother and father.

"Treachery" (khiyanah) is repeated 16 times, while the number of repetitions of the word "foul" (khabith) is 16.

"Human being" is used 65 times: the sum of the number of references to the stages of man's creation is the same: i.e.

Human being 65

Soil (turab) 17

Drop of Sperm (nutfah) 12

Embryo ('alaq) 6

A half formed lump of flesh (mudghah) 3

Bone ('idham) 15

Flesh (lahm) 12

TOTAL 65

The word "salawat" appear five times in the Qur'an, and Allah has commanded man to perform the prayer (salat) five times a day.

The word "land" appears 13 times in the Qur'an and the word "sea" 32 times, giving a total of 45 references. If we divide that number by that of the number of references to the land we arrive at the figure 28.888888888889%. The number of total references to land and sea, 45, divided by the number of references to the sea in the Qur'an, 32, is 71.111111111111%. Extraordinarily, these figures represent the exact proportions of land and sea on the Earth today.238
