I think I have answered enough people who feel entitled to criticize my work sight unseen, and some of you have been real jerks btw. Nevertheless I have answered your question and doubts and cynicism and all my answers are above for other readers. From this point on, I will only answer...
No problem Terry. Many people make their decision on whether to read a book or not based on its reviews. I have reason to believe that an authoritative review or two will be forthcoming for the book, and I hope you will put it on your reading list following that.
Since you have no knowledge of what ancient Hebrew gematria actually entails then your lack of consideration is not meaningful.
Actually that is something that my analysis debunks. While there may have been an orally transmitted creation mythology across the ancient near east that informed...
I think new paradigms are always controversial by their nature, but there are people on this forum who find my work interesting and worth looking into. I hope that further commentators will provide a critic upon the actual work rather than their own assumptions of what it is though. Thanks...
They would likely make the same mistake you are making, except they probably wouldn't have a self-correcting intellect.
I am introducing a new paradigm but you're pre-judging it on the merits and demerits of something you already know. Not that I'm comparing myself to the great man, but...
I'm an INTJ, and if biblical gematria wasn't rational and objective I wouldn't have done any research into it. This is a scholarly work, and I don't believe New Agers would be interested in it. Numerology is more their thing.
I think you mean Gematria rather than Numerology. Would you speak to an astronomer about sun signs? :-)
Please don't pre-judge the book before you've read it, shunyadragon. The ancient scribal practice of gematria was not a free-form anything-goes art. There were rather strict scribal...
Hello my friends,
You may have seen me haunting these hallowed electronic hallways, to bend the ear of anyone who will listen saying "pssssssst..... have you heard about the real gematria?" :)
Well, in-between hanging out here I managed to write a book, and next week I'm launching The Genesis...
Lol. Come on man. No-one is forcing you to follow this thread. At least, I presume there is a way you can unfollow it? :-)
Christians like to talk about Jesus. That's a no-brainer. I'm not a Christian but I don't begrudge them it. They're not telling me to shut up about numbers, so live...
If we're going to speak of Jesus, can we step away from questions of whether Jesus was real or not, and just deal with the mythical and symbolic Jesus for a bit? I'm going to put a proposition to you that would place Jesus within the mysteries of the Merkabah. I shall not be the first to...

I've never been interested in numerology. People keep saying numerology like it had something to do with this thread. I think they are confused over terminology. The difference...
But to be historical Jesus wouldn't there have to be some type of source outside the Bible? Therefore wouldn't a Jesus sans miracles still be a mythic Jesus?
