On Bible codes and God using programming in creation:

• I saw your email earlier about a digital god, I have a little information on that topic, as well. Without going too deep into the whole "matrix" idea, the first thing to know is the idea itself is false and it leads to Jewish mysticism (esoteric knowledge), also known as Kabbalah. I would steer clear of learning about the digital code and the "mystery" of the Bible. The mysterious and secret things that are being spoken on here are things which are competing with the Holy Spirit;  as the Holy Spirit is how we understand anything pertaining to the Lord God and Heaven and Hell.

• Here is a short passage where Jesus states that he has done no thing in secret:

  • The high priest then asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his doctrine. Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews always resort; and in secret have I said nothing. Why askest thou me? ask them which heard me, what I have said unto them: behold, they know what I said And when he had thus spoken, one of the officers which stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, Answerest thou the high priest so? Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil: but if well, why smitest thou me? -- John 18:19-23

• ​Mysticism is secret knowledge kept away from the outside congregation. According to the passage above, Christians should not allow secret knowledge, they should follow Jesus' example and do all teaching and debate openly. Jesus reveals the greatest mysteries for us, and Christians are those that have access to the answers through the Holy Spirit, not mystics who are operating through some other spirit/influence.

• If there truly were a secret code, this would put Christians at a disadvantage against the wielder of the secrets. Jesus shows us in many different accounts, how he challenged or was challenged by the leaders of many groups and won the arguments every time. This is one of the reasons the leaders crucified Jesus, because his arguments were perfect and they were in the habit of using their religious beliefs to hide their evil lifestyles. Jesus revealed this to the listeners and he called the leaders hypocrites. We have access to understanding through Jesus and the Holy Spirit, thus we can reveal the "mysterious things" for what they really are, and these are almost always demonic.

  • ​1st John 2:26-29  These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you. 27  But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him. 28  And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming. 29  If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him. 

  • Col 2:18-19  Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, 19  And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.
