Me too. I had never heard of the word 'acrostic,' although I've heard about acronyms and related word riddles.
This is not some 'thing' that I am espousing as doctrine.
Right. I don't see how it could be something doctrinal, unless one reads more into it than what it is.
I just wanted to come together and talk about it.
Which is why I chimed in.
Yet, I feel that you are wanting me to argue with you about it, Mark.
Not at all. Just because I ask a lot of questions doesn't mean that I'm inviting argumentation. There is no controversy, unless someone takes an 'acrostic' and tries to make dogma out of it, that may not necessarily be in harmony with Scripture. That is a danger don't you agree? When jews divine the words 'holocaust' and 'six million' from these Bible codes, ya gotta wonder if the same thing can be contrived from acrostics. It's not that I'm criticizing you, but sharing with you how that YouTube led to a remark in the comment section that said, "Adam and Eve could not have been Caucasian." Now, we wouldn't make that conclusion (well, maybe some of the crypto-universalists would), but obviously someone has and therefore yet another avenue to Babel-confusion.
Maybe acrostics are a lie, maybe they aren't.
They would appear to be a can of worms, whereupon opening, present itself as problematic. Which is why I asked some of the questions I did out of curiosity. Does it make any difference which Bible is being used? Does it make any difference whether it comes from ancient Hebrew or jewish "Hebrew"? Is it coincidental or divinely intentional? Are we to search for these things or do they just happen? Should they be literal or figurative? If they are just a literary device, what was God's intent and purpose? What is the precise number of acrostics in the Bible? Are any of the acrostics racial? Which is something you gleaned from the first citation dealing with 'dust,' and yet the source didn't. I'm still mulling over why God is forgiving those who rise up against Him ("For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft" I Sam. 15:23; "Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these... witchcraft... of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God" Gal. 5:10-21); and if 'dust' is an Adamic reference; and what are the 'offerings' spoken of (if the ordinances were nailed to the Cross)?
CI is kind of like a secret... when your eyes are opened to the truth, it is as if a veil is lifted.
That's a good observation. There are/were mysteries made known by revelation. "Now with ability you are to stand fast in accordance with my good message and the proclamation of Yahshua Christ; in accordance with a revelation of mystery having been kept secret in times eternal" Romans 16:25. "The mystery which has been concealed from the ages and
from the races, but now has been made visible to His saints" Col. 1:26. "For I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, of this mystery, lest you be wise on account of yourselves, that hardness [blindness KJV]] in part has come upon Israel, until the fullness of the Nations arrives" Romans 11:25.
Being that MANY fall away, then the truth would be as a secret to the masses would it not.
Yes, apostasy is racial by nature to obscure the truth. "Your thoughts would be corrupted from that sincerity and that purity [simplicity KJV] which is with the Anointed [Christ]" II Cor. 11:3. When Israel went whoring after strange gods, it was the alien religions of convoluted thought that got them into trouble.
Yahshua spoke in parables so that THEY wouldn't understand, isn't that making something a secret?
Yes, but THEY were not White. The parables, to this day, require study for rightly dividing the word of truth. Christian Identity goes the extra mile to prove who we are and the evidence is in our scholarship. God bless brother.
