The Sincere Milk of the Word  Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently: Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you. Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings, As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby: If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.  (1 Peter 1:22 - 1 Peter 2:3)   This article was originally written with the intent to show the supernatural power that is enclosed in the word of God, the Bible. Evidence is available to those who are genuinely searching for the truth, that through numbers - which in the old languages are linked to the letters of their alphabets - particularly the number seven, which is God's number of perfection, God's signature can be identified in His word.  Secondly, it was intended, through these numerical patterns, to show the superiority of the Authorised Version of the Bible over all the other English versions.    Both the writings that were used for this purpose were taken off the Internet and are therefore freely available, but in both cases were extracts from longer works.    The first revelation, written by a Russian called P, an emigrant to North America during the nineteenth century, demonstrated the supernatural occurrence of the number seven in the first verse of the Bible in the original Hebrew/Aramaic. The proof seemed irrefutable and went to show God's unlimited Majesty.  However, I had to take P's word for it because of lack of knowledge of the ancient language.  Moreover, in doing further research it was found amongst others, that using his superior mathematical brain (I couldn't make head or tail of what he was writing), P made constant revisions to his numeric new testament. It seemed that he was making the word of God to fit in with his numerical system.  Also, he was basing his new testament on the corrupt Westcott and Hort writings!    Surely there was something in English that could be verified?    The second writing was found "almost by accident" a short while later and was written by an American who is probably still alive, let's call him H.  Using the AV, H showed how various numbers occurred in patterns in the English text, and because the search facility in the Online Bible seems inaccurate, Strong's Concordance was used to confirm some of his calculations. Very, very impressive.  However, although this is an extract from a longer work and therefore condensed, it was discerned that there could have been a certain amount of contriving in choosing numbers.  Moreover, the longer work, available from the author, is copyright. This surely means that H wants reward or recognition for his efforts!  Was this writing done under the covering of the Holy Spirit?    The subject under consideration was placed on hold until further knowledge should be revealed and a few months later it seemed that the Holy Spirit prompted this writer with the significance of the first word in the heading of this article - the word sincere.    The article was originally written to show that God's word was Truth and His power unlimited.  This is undoubtedly true.    However, we must be sincere at all times when using this power for the glory of God.    **A Psalm of David.** LORD, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill? He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart.  (Psalms 15:1-2)   Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed: but he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded.  (Proverbs 13:13)
