Paradise Cafe Discussions - A Place For Bible Research And Christian Encouragement

Prodigal Son,

I recently received a link in a pm from a member which describes the number 12 as a divine measurement.

12 sons of Jacob
12 gates

12 months in a year
12 hours in a day
12 hours in a night
12 inches to a foot


Why was 12 chosen for these measurements?

was it an accident?

Here is the link:

Hi Vic! Glad you jumped in! Your last statement makes a lot of sense. Science does have to sift through tons of rubbish bins to find some truth. Most newly discovered truth is still called rubbish by most people though. :detective:

Prodigal Son,

I personally think that Ron Wyatt made some very profound discoveries which never made it into main stream media and yet I believe they should have.

Everything he did seemed to be with the intent to prove the bibles veracity.

If someone could actually do that then I understand why he would have great opposition from the mainstream media and science.

Imagine what might happen to the world if Ron Wyatt was actually successful at proving the stories in the bible are real.

The world still won't allow it.

I watched all his videos I could find on youtube.

They are very convincing.

Like this one on Sodom and Gomorrah:










and here is a video made by people who went to follow up and verify Ron Wyatt's discovery:






Makes me wonder why atheists still continue to exist?

Probably because the mainstream media refuse to publicize this information!

I think I get it now. It seems you misunderstood what I was saying. I was talking about a base 12 numbering system, rather than the base 10 widely in use in our world. All that means is that a new column starts after 12 instead of 10. Computers, for example, use a binary system (Base 2) for bits and then they are converted to hexadecimal (Base 16) for bytes. It had nothing to do with DNA "bases".

The Bible in a literal sense makes people think they are powerless to do anything to change their own reality or that of the world, while this conflicts with the teaching of our Lord and Master. So I would think that the ruling elite, if they want to keep Christians in the dark, would promote a guy like Ron Wyatt.

To me, Abe, the Bible's stories are valuable to an extent, but they are FAR more enlightening when they are taken at greater than face value. It's one thing to know that the stories happened literally, but another thing entirely to know HOW and WHY. In other words, what they mean on a deeper level, specifically, a personal application to oneself and one's own body, and how the forces that govern the universe really work. This is important because we need to know what God really wants from us. What is our purpose? Are we just here to worship him and serve him? Is God THAT insecure? Or are the first and second commandments just as important to each other and to us? Metaphysical science says that the way to a higher vibration is more love and less fear. I certainly don't have a problem with that.

Here's a little snippet about this guy that you find so convincing, Abe:

_____________________________________________________________________________

From someone who participated in one of Wyatt's expeditions.

"From medical school I remember hearing of a rare state of mind, with a long Latin name, that led its victims to concoct marvelously detailed accounts of events that were pure fabrications, yet which the story-teller himself had come to believe were absolutely true. I am inclined to believe that Wyatt was a florid example of this disorder. He was not a deliberate liar, a fraud. And some of his observations had merit. But I am convinced that some of his "discoveries" were matters which underwent transcription in his mind, and that he came to believe as true certain ideas and observations that in fact were his own inventions.

Do go to this guy's link to get the full story. (Thanks for that, Jimmy)

Rez:detective:

Rez,

I understand that however:

The thing stated by the man undermining Ron Wyatt's credibility is pretty much the same things that atheists say about any God fearing, Bible loving, Jesus following Christian.

If a Christian stands up and says God is real, the bible is true and Jesus Christ is coming soon he will find thousands of other people will then stand up and say, you are crazy and just making it all up for your own selfishly invented benefit.

Their is nothing new or unusual in the statement made above.

In fact I would completely expect such things to happen to any real true Christian.


In Christ
