Bible Codes: True or False? - NCCG.ORG Ning Network Archive 2008-10

MLT has no official position on the Bible Code and advises those researching it to walk cicumspectly and not to turn it into a hobby-horse. Certainly the searching for codes can be, and is, abused. When people try to predict the future using Bible codes, we are walking on the borders of occultism and fortune telling which Torah forbids. That there is a Bible code phenomenon is not denied but knowing how to use the information responsibility, and not getting sidetracked away from the Gospel itself, are two of many risks that researchers face. (I knew one man who decided studying Bible codes was a better way to get information than prayer - he lost his faith in the end). It should be pointed out that 'accredited' Bible code experts have made predictions which have turned out to be false which should itself lead us to be highly cautious. Where the Bible codes may be useful is in revealing past events which our outside the biblical narratives themselves in either content or time.
