Connecting number values to the letters of the alphabet, staring with A=6, B=12, C=18 (continue adding sixes), 'the seal of Sion' gives a total of 888. Using this same method, 'The Good Fruit' and 'Jesus Gospel', also give 888. Taking the word 'Error', and adding 'Jesus' to it, we also get 888. This number is relevant when looking at Greek Isopheny where the name 'Jesus', has the value of 888 and this number is found to be connected in many ways in traditional Hebrew and Greek gematria.

Texsis, I do respect and understand your point of view. What matters for me personally is that through the lost gospels and the apocryphal books, after a search of four decades, I came to realize the truth of Jesus Christ and I started to recognize the workings of the Sacred Spirit and I returned to the Bible. Using the numbers complementary, not as the primary focus. Perhaps like the background chords supporting the melody of the text. It's a personal thing but you are very right, stop wasting time on earthly things, I also take that very seriously.

Henkdenkt, I'm a number person too. My friend is a color chart person & my neighbor loves shapes. We all have our quirks yet we must keep in mind, to keep satan at bay, that "if it's not of God, not to take it to heart. He is the inspiration of the Bible & Knows ALL & has His reasons for not putting it in. Which one can learn if looked up. apocryphal, by definition: Of questionable authorship or authenticity. Erroneous=(containing error; mistaken; incorrect; wrong:); fictitious.

So, basically by definition alone, it was left out for not being Gods truth. Therefore, Apocrypha could not have been put in the Bible for Gods word is complete & Only Historical, Factual truths. Nothing to add or take away. I wouldn't ever add the word error to Jesus, that's an oxymoron. My name on here adds up to 38 real name adds to adds up to 70 or 102 yet these numbers only mean something on earth for we will be given a new name in Heaven. I stopped wasting my time on to many earthly things & choose to concentrate more on Gods word to be sure I get there.! Not that numbers have no purpose & if you know the Bible, they most definitely do yet, not to be twisted for evil, NO. God knows our heart so I pray that's not the case here. God be with you & yours my friend..!
