Thank you for your research and reply. It seems that you ate the only one that has intelligence and common sense.
Most people believe that Gematria is the same as bible code or numerology. But all three are actualy not related.If you do the research you will find out that each one is different .
Very good research on the history of Gematria but still incorrect. I will explain. Gematria has been Commonly used to encryp words or names in ancient times as you have explained, but not a complete ancient book like the bible. The only ancient book that exists with complete 100% Gematria Is the bible, proven
fact by Mathematicians.
I very much enjoyed your typo, "you ate the only one that has intelligence and common sense," Yes, that's actually how I gained my intelligence by eating the only intelligent one. Haha! I can't spell to save my life so I do the same thing all the time, this one was just cracking me up.
As for the gematria thing, the Bible certainly uses gematria, but it's not entirely written in it. Also, I don't think gematria was really thought of as "encrypting" anything. Uses of gematria were actually meant to be understood by the reader, as the practice was fairly common. You might argue for a wider usage throughout the Bible, but it would be helpful if you could outline some examples and maybe bullet point your argument. Saying, "proven by Mathematicians" doesn't give us much to go on as far as understanding and responding to your reasoning.
