Is there something special about the number 3? Is it a good or bad number?

Question

Someone told me that "three's a charm" and I just wanted to know more about it. They said, "always carry something or have something in three's" and it kind of freaked me out".

Answer 1

It's a good number! If you're a Christian, it could stand for the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. For me, it stands for the body, the mind, and the soul.

Yeah, I've heard "Third time's the charm", too. I think three is kind of a superstitious number, but in a protective way.

Answer 2

SOMEONE told me that about 4 7 12 26
39 54 69 87 99

To be on the Safe Side , now I carry the
numbers 1 to 99 all the time .

Gee , I feel 'Lucky" !

Answer 3

Three. While the testifying of two witnesses to the same matter established proof sufficient for legal action, three made the testimony even stronger. The number three, therefore, is used at times to represent intensity, emphasis, or added strength. “A threefold cord cannot quickly be torn in two.” (Ec 4:12) Emphasis was achieved in Jesus’ threefold questioning of Peter after Peter’s three denials of Jesus. (Mt 26:34, 75; Joh 21:15-17) The vision telling Peter to eat of all kinds of animals, including those unclean according to the Law, was intensified by being given to him three times. This doubtless made it easier for Peter to understand, when Cornelius and his household accepted the good news, that God was now turning his attention to uncircumcised people of the nations, considered unclean by the Jews.—Ac 10:1-16.

The intensity of Jehovah’s holiness and cleanness is emphasized by the declaration of heavenly creatures: “Holy, holy, holy is Jehovah.” (Isa 6:3; Re 4:8) Before taking the last earthly king of the line of David off the throne, Jehovah said: “A ruin, a ruin, a ruin I shall make it. As for this also, it will certainly become no one’s until he comes who has the legal right, and I must give it to him.” Here he emphatically showed there would be no Davidic kings sitting upon the throne at Jerusalem in his name—the throne would be absolutely vacant—until God’s time to establish his Messiah in Kingdom power. (Eze 21:27) The intensity of woes to come to those dwelling on earth is forecast by the triple repetition of the declaration “woe.”—Re 8:13.

Answer 4

An interesting question. I too asked the same question except it was the number 4 I was curious about. To my knowledge so far, the number 3 is considered a lucky number in china. For more information, here is a website that might help with your question.

Answer 5

Not really. It has a history of being magical. It appears alot in fairy tales, and to an extent, in other stories. Ex: Three little pigs, three blind mice, in sleeping beauty, three fairies.

It is also a major part of many religions. The trinity, Heaven, earth, hell. In greek mythology, three major brothers, zeus, poseidon, hades, olympus, earth, underworld.

It has been a very significant number in beliefs, stories, and history.

Answer 6

3 stands for a lot, like the trinity. But all # stand for something! Look at 7 Lucky 7.

Answer 7

As Christians we aren't superstitious. But 3 is typically called God's number because of the trinity.

Answer 8

Three is looked apon as a good number for many resons such as the Holy trenity and such but three is bad in baseball lol

Answer 9

Well, I know some people base the lore of 3 on the Holy Trinity.

Answer 10

Yes, I was taught it was a mystical # to some, especially in the Jewish tradition in Jesus' day. Jesus lived 33 years, he ascended into heaven after 3 days, for example. And there were many examples of occurrences in 3's.
