The Bible Code: How to count correctly! Why entire denominations are getting it wrong.

Dear blog readers,

As I have been considering the Bible code, the Holy Spirit spoke to me on our final morning in Italy. So, instead of part 3, here's an introduction! Some of you have asked what I mean by code, so I hope that this introduction will help you understand what I mean.

Introduction to the Bible code

You were created by God, in God’s image. He is the only one who knows more about you than you know about yourself. He knows what is going to happen, no matter what you think, speak or do – before you do it! That is why he has given us the Handbook of Life, the Bible. That is where God describes cause and effect based on a big picture perspective. It is based on the spiritual perspective, the sphere of faith, which means that we can’t always explain the outcome of a certain action. One example is the feeding of the five thousand. The thing is, if you believe and act based on what the Bible teaches, the outcome will manifest itself in the physical world sooner or later. That is the law within the Word of God – it governs cause and effect, it is an absolute.

It is like learning to count. If you follow the rules of counting, the outcome will be correct. If you change the rules or do something wrong, the outcome will also be wrong. That is what Jesus means when he teaches about the man who built his house on the rock. This man correctly followed the rules for how to count.

When Jesus came into the world, he gave us the code, the solution to the equation, so that we could learn to “count” and thus put the Handbook of Life into practice. “Do this,” Jesus said, “and this is the outcome you will get, it has already been calculated for you.”

But, the enemy has planted weeds and has cunningly snuck in the wrong code. Which means that when many Christians count, 2+2 = 5! Yes, even entire denominations have counted incorrectly in a major way. This is because over the years they have developed a certain way to “count”, meaning a certain way to read the Bible and put it into practice, that has given them an entirely incorrect outcome.

That is why I want to, in all humility, summarize for you how you can count in such a way as to get an outcome where 2+2 = 4. I want to describe for you how to read the Handbook of Life and put it into practice in such a way that you arrive at the outcome that is waiting for you.
