But that is why there are seven days of creation, and why seven is used where ever God is going to perform a miracle. Among seven members there is the distinct posibility for one to be female like. But God is not like us physically, that is why he made Jesus to be the human face of God. Every time God performs a miracle the number 7 is involved? Really? The God of the Bible? Every time? God doesn't have a physical body but has gender? How does that work? Among God's 7 personalities, there is a possibility that just one is female? Really? How does that work? So Jesus is the human face of an entity with 7 personalities? Ergo, Jesus has 7 personalities? It personally doesn't matter to me whether God has 1, 3, 7, or 616 personalities. But Rev. 1:4-5 says John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne. So God's 7 personalities are before his throne, on which he sits. This gets crazier by the minute.

Zechariah 4 and onwards shows us a physical representation of God. He is represented as 7 golden lamps stands, the lamp is called the the LORD of the whole earth. On either side of the lamp are the two anointed ones, or Cheriabim, which mirror those found on the ark of the presence (on either side of the mercy seat) in the temple which was built by Israel according to the pattern God delivered to Mosus on the mount. The lamps are said to be the seven spirits of God which are also called the eyes of the LORD. This same lamp was found also in the temple of the Lord built by Mosus in the desert. This was lifted from http://www.xspectation.net/numberseven.php - typos and all. Is that your web page?

Check out http://www.xspectation.net/numberseven.php for the details that is my website, hopefully it is not to difficult to understand.
I could say the same thing about the number 40, seeing as it links with Noah (rains for 40 days and 40 nights) as well as Jesus (in the desert for 40 days). It is the same logic used by Islam.
Did you know that the word "month" is used 12 times in the Koran, the word "days" is used 365 times, etc? Muslims try to use this as evidence that the Koran is true, forgetting all the while that the Islamic calendar has 354 days. Ooops.
I guess it is always easy to find proof for anything if you look hard enough. By that I mean if a person wants to believe something they are hard to reason with.
It's even harder to find proof for something not existing.
I think Yahweh is the most common name for the God of the old testament....Dawkins usually calls him Yahweh. Could be wrong I guess but thats all I know.
