They don’t have the same pattern, but a similar one.
If the Greek letters weren’t exactly arranged the way they were, all of those mathematical properties would not be there. He made the point that it’s literally impossible to reconstruct that, even if you had 1,000 super computers spotting out 400 sequences every second....it would take 4,000,000 years to find a pattern of letters.
It’s just not possible for it to have been man-made or be in another language.
By the way, the same mathematical thing is in the last 12 verses of Mark, same exact thing, thousands of multiples of 7, unexplainable without God’s hand in it
I’m baffled every time I see stuff like this. God is amazing

personal attacks doesnt help you, it only makes you look like your loosing your composure and thus credibility.
im not aware of any translation that says Jesus created all things.
what doctrine of mine are you referring to?
thats what you sound like
i never said i knew all things, you threw an idea out there and i tested it. if i had a belief i believed to be true i would want it tested to determine how reliable it is.
i never presented a doctrine for anything. can you be more specific of what your referring to?

hmm that is a tough one to agree with 
“Matthew also issued a written Gospel among the Hebrews in their own dialect,”
Eusebius quoting the works of Origen -
“The first is written according to Matthew, the same that was once a tax collector, but afterwards an emissary of Yeshua the Messiah, who having published it for the Jewish believers, wrote it in Hebrew.”

And still, it is very possible that something as translating one language to the Greek could still align the Greek perfectly even if the other language was out of sequence. Mathematics is my second Major. You can do multiples of things quantumly than you could ever do through Trig, Calculus, Exponential Functions, logarithms, or more specifically Algorithms. As long as you can create a platform with a designed system to allow a Formula to break down, you are Golden!

i think there is a bit of a disconnect today with the language back then. so many think Greek was the language across the board, but you go to the Qumran library and every text concerning spirituality was written in Hebrew, you have Greek text there but they are mostly letters being wrote and received by different Essene / Nazarene communities.

the issue is as you know Greek was the language of Roman who had been controlling that region many years The greek language was what the Septuagint was written in and we do know That Jesus read from it. Also that HE most likely did speak Aramaic yet understood Greek too. The Greek speaking Jewish was the norm at this time due to the many years they were in exile. how many generation were under the rule of another where the language was not kept? To suggest the Book of Matthew was write-in Hebrew when the manuscripts are in Greek. That is a hard one to take just saying I'm open to evidence

i have studied their teachings for a few years now. it can get confusing when you dont understand the old Hebrew being as one expert will suggest Jesus was an Essene then you have another saying Jesus was an enemy of the Essenes. i read what i can and just try and make the most logical conclusion. i dont think Jesus was an Essene, but i think the Nazarenes and Essenes were more or less the same school of thought with each group having slightly different community rules. one group allowed marrage and drinking, the other did not, things like that.
you ever read the connections to Jesus and the Essenes when Jesus is talking to John (baptist) when He is in jail and John asks Jesus if He is the Christ or should we expect another?

im not suggesting they spoke Hebrew all the time, i believe that Greek more than likely was the common language, but i think Hebrew was still used for writings and temple rituals. all the scrolls at Qumran (related o spirituality) were in Hebrew but then again, they were incredibly strict and could have been an isolated thing. the Nazarenes do seemed to be a bit more relaxed.

Agreed!
But what I found interesting, their Bible is literally 8 verses that show more history when Jesus actually arrived onto the scene, and what some of His message outside the kingdom was in terms of Jesus explaining the issue with "Sacrificing," Something else I found intriguing, their version of Matthew 24 from Jesus' standpoint and their claim that Jesus was a vegan. Not saying I am buying it or not buying it. But I do find it educating.
