''In 1999, Revival Centres Church dramatically abandoned their longstanding belief in Bible Numerics. Yet to this day, splinter groups still push the unscientific teaching.
According to Revivalist “Bible Numerics,” the original Hebrew and Greek texts of the Bible contain a miraculous mathematical pattern. Change one letter of the Bible and the entire pattern falls apart. This teaching is based on doctored texts and flawed logic. It has its roots in the pseudoscientific writings of Ivan Panin in the late 19th and early 20th century.
Bible Numerics involves counting different types of words and letters, summing the gematria or numeric value of letters, identifying the factors of these calculations, and other similar tasks.
While we have never accepted the Bible Code, for many years we thought that there was something in Bible Numerics.
Although it has never formed part of our statement of beliefs, our thoughts at that time were that numerics was one of the proofs for the divine authorship of the Bible. We did note, however, that no doctrinal point should rest solely on Bible Numerics. As it turned out, that was a wise approach.
Following further study … the thought that there are intricate numerical patterns hidden within the Hebrew and Greek text of the Bible can actually be proven to be true for any text, in any language, including this morning’s newspaper. Such proof (for any text) is mathematically proven, demonstrable and irrefutable.
Anyone wishing to disagree can send an email, and we will send back to them the amazing patterns hidden in their complaint.''
