Another game: Numbers in the Bible. 1 God

[Laurie]

Here's another game. Let's see how many numbers in the Bible (in order of course :) ) we can come up with. I'll start with the easy and obvious one

1 God

Hmmm, now what is there 2 of? who's next :D

There are lots of sevens in the Bible, especially in Revelation - seven seals, seven candlesticks, seven angels, etc.

[Laurie]

But I cheated and had to look that one up :D

[Courtenay]

That's not cheating, Laurie... it's getting to know the Bible better! :)

I've just had to look "nine" up too - not too many of them either. Nine lepers who didn't come back to thank Jesus? Or how the ninth day of the seventh month in the Jewish calendar, the day before Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement), is a special Sabbath? See, you do learn some things!

This is fun! :D

[Laurie]

That one was easy.

[Courtenay]

11 for "the eleven" - the twelve disciples minus Judas?

Hang on, I guess I've just given the next one - 12 for the twelve disciples. That okay?? :D

[Laurie]

We need a new player in this game. You are all welcome to join in.:D
