That’s pretty ridiculous. The only reason that kind of thing works on the Bible is because it’s assumed that God wrote the Bible with this kind of thing in mind, hence there are lessons to learn from it. However, no one says that the way that generic words happen to contain certain letters would mean that they’re any holier or “better” than others.
Also, gematria is really only for the Hebrew alphabet - 22 letters, no numbers.
I didn’t say that it was valid… I don’t know why everyone was making the assumption that because I found it interesting that it had any value whatsoever. =p
Of course it’s BS, the Bible wasn’t written using the Roman alphabet, therefore the numerical values of words don’t correspond to A=1, B=2, etc. Bah, maybe if they had done some intelligent research about numbers and meanings it would be interesting.
