In response to Re: Joseph Smith - Mormons posted by Atheist13:

And the grammar in the bible is nothing to be proud of.

And incidentally, the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet reflect the same truth. They may be divided as three sets of seven, plus the final tahv , the letter of "truth and perfection." Even the alphabet … the Word of Creation … squares the circle, and illustrates the truth of eternity.

Over two centuries ago, when Leonhard Euler declared that p is a transcendental number, he could scarcely have conceived the philosophical depth of his statement. Nor could he have imagined the super computers that, today, reveal the magnificent truth of the circle. Indeed, it is transcendental.

Christ is the center of all things. Only He is capable of finally squaring the circle.

The Circle Is Transcendental

The Hebrew alphabet is reflective of the Bible’s theme of creation and redemption. The Word spoke all creation into existence. Jewish teaching says that the Word is formed by the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet.

But the 22 letters are, themselves, a grand cycle, not only for the church, but for each individual, and indeed, the entire cosmos! There is no better demonstration of this than the pattern found in Psalm 119. Its 176 verses are laid out in groups of eight verses, each beginning with a successive letter of the Hebrew alphabet. Together, they comprise a grand, acrostic circle.

Each of the eight-verse sections demonstrates the spiritual character and meaning of its respective letter. Thus aleph — the letter of creation — begins the walk of the spiritual man:

"ALEPH. Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD" (Psalm 119:1).

As we move along the spiritual pathway with this blessed man, we quickly discover that his way is complex. It leads to completed righteousness in the world to come. But along the way, he suffers doubt, insult, tribulation and affliction, as in the following verse, found at the middle of the alphabet in the nun section. This letter, of course, illustrates the difficulty of maintaining faith:

"I am afflicted very much: quicken me, O LORD, according unto thy word" (Psalm 119:107).

The final verse of this psalm shows without question that David’s epochal work represents the grand cycle of faith. Instead of bringing the blessed man to eternal truth and perfection (seen in the final letter, tahv), it turns back to the beginning of the alphabet, where once again, he moves step-by-step toward eternal righteousness:

"I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek thy servant; for I do not forget thy commandments" (Psalm 119:176).

Even at the end of his march, the spiritual man begs the help of the Lord in finding his way. Like all men of faith, he comes to the end of himself, beginning the cycle once again at creation, moving through the predictable circle of difficulty, but supported by the love of the Lord.

In short, the alphabetic pattern of redemption is a circle. Like all circles everywhere, it is unresolved; it is transcendental. Like the Greek letter p that stands for the ratio between the circumference and diameter of a circle, it is infinite.
