[QUOTE="Seeker9, post: 126772, member: 11719"] Sat Sri Akal everyone PLease forgive me for being lazy and responding to 2 threads (this one and an earlier mathematical one) in one reply In reply to the tile of this particular thread, you may find the attached link useful: [url=http://www.gurbani.org/articles/webart20.htm]Shabad, Gurbani, Naam - What Is It?[/url] With regard to this and the earlier thread, I am intrigued by the mathematical precision you are seeing in the Gospels I would also, using an "Occam's razor" type approach, like to think this through logically and see if we can come to any conclusions as to the possible divine origins of such precision. In doing so, I mean no disrespect to the Bible and its teachings So here goes... - I guess you have been reading an English translation. I think it is fair to say that when you translate anything, you always lose something of the original. And there have been several major English translations of the Bible over the centuries since the Gutenberg Bible appeared in the 15th Century -Those English translations may themselves have been translated from other languages like Greek or Latin -Those Greek and Latin translations may themselves have been translated from even older scriptures which may have been in Hebrew, Aramaic, Coptic etc -The Church has made significant interventions over the centuries in terms of what their official endorsed Bible should include and what the overall fundamental Christian messages should be (see First and Second Council of Nicea) So, taking all of the above into consideration, how much of the mathematical patterns are down to deliberate divine intention and how much are down to nature. We see mathematical series in nature all the time......just look at Fibonacci and the Golden Spiral ([url=http://www.world-mysteries.com/sci_17.htm]World Mysteries - Science Mysteries, Fibonacci Numbers and Golden section in Nature[/url]) So personally, I would be inclined less to look at the numbers and focus more on the great wisdom contained within the Scriptures, which is how we would always approach Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji and which is why for us the question of numbers has never arisen before Ultimately, I would like to ask what do the existence of mathematical series in holy scriptures mean? Is it some kind of proof of divine origins? [B]Is such proof even necessary?[/B] So please don't take any offence but my personal view is that such endeavour is a wasted effort and detracts from the main point and purpose which is everything the scriptures represent and their message for mankind Thanks for reading [/QUOTE]
