They have used Bible code software on other books and have yielded the same type of results, I believe the secrets are given by the Holy Spirit directly, and to interpret the Bible by other means than the Holy Spirit, you open yourself up to divination and lying spirits.

Arent this codes generated by a software to be able to unlock them?
And if it was by a software a man made, what good is in there for?

Romans 9:11-24
Our Eschatology may vary even our Ecclesiology may be disputed among us but our Soteriology most assume a singularity and exclusivity which in biblical term is known as Quote; "The Narrow Way" and Quote!

That's a tuffy. Athough I have actually seen some provoking work, for ex. proving that Luke authored Acts by examining code which counted xyz, which may find reasurrance on validation, but the problem for me comes in the very act that a believer further seeks validation might cast the shadow of disbelief.
The code finder program was not searching for validation in this one case, it was a random experiment, but I am trying to make a point here. Perhaps a question would do it best> Can we, knowing that (worldly) knowledge will increase, and the thirst will not be for water but for the word of truth - can we then seek this hyper technology modality and still be setting our affections on things not on this earth, but on things above where Christ sitteth at the right hand of God at the same time?
Does it help us to better come to an acknowledgment that God has spoken and given us His interpretation of His redemptive plan, or does it rather seek to distract us from our acknowledgment of the great God Jesus Christ the Lord and Saviour from His rightful place, in us?
I mean, I use tools. I think we can use tools to track, for example, the ancient root sylables and linguistical occurrances whereby the Holy Spirit has revealed His definitions of His chosen Words. I think these computers can be both useful and harmful.
What does the Bible say?
2Ti 1:13 Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
Tit 1:1 Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God's elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness; 2 In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began; 3 But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching...
1Ti 4:9 This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation. 10 For therefore we both labor and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of those that believe. 11 These things command and teach. 12 Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. 13 Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.
Pro 8:14 Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength.

Pro 8:17 I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.

I'm just wondering what everyone's opinion is on the so called 'Bible Code'? Personally I'm kinda neutral of it and wonder if we should even be doing it, but I haven't formed a real opinion yet. Just wondering what my brothers and sisters thought about it...
