Why Finding Words With The Same Value Is Meaningless
The English language has over 1 million words. Many of these are scientific, chemical or technical and not often encountered in daily life. Nevertheless, even with a small list of 51,000 English words, it is possible to find many with the same value. And the smaller the value, the longer the list.
(Note: Since 51,000 is roughly 1/19th of a million, a straight extrapolation would make any of the lists below nineteen times longer if the entire English language was used.)
Since 49 is divisible by 7 twice, and 7 is associated with God, one would think there should be something special or meaningful in these words having this numeric total. All these words have a numeric total of 49 (7 x 7). [For the conversion of English to numbers, see this.]

Is there a relationship between these words or between some of them? There isn't, unless the human mind invents an explanation.
The stand out word in the list is infidel
. Why does infidel
have a total of 49? Is this some sort of negative quality in relation to God? You can make up any explanation you want.
People are curious of the number 666, the number of the anti-Christ (Revelation 13:18). How many words in English have this value? There are four in my short list.
catastrophically fertilization fossilization pygmy
Is there some sort of relationship here? Aside from catastrophically
is there something bad about fertilization
or fossilization
? Could the anti-Christ be short in stature, a pygmy
? Whatever explanation is developed, can one bet his life on it?
Having tried 666, how about 777? In my short list of English words, there is only one.
777 polyethylene
Plastic is very useful. Plastic pollution is very harmful. What can be said of polyethylene in a religious sense?
Here are 104 words with the value of 169 (13 x 13).

Whether you consider 13 to be a bad or good number, how does this badness or goodness apply to these words? Going by the Bible, there is Damascus, Hebrew, Jerusalem and Naphtali. Is Damascus bad because it is the capitol of Syria? Is Jerusalem good because it was David's city? Can we be certain Damascus is bad? Why is Damascus bad? Are we not just making it up as we go along? A skeptic would demand explanation of the other words even if some plausible explanation was made for the biblical words.
One could go on and on about relationships between words, invent categories to put words in, and then build new relationships between categories of words, even between words with different numeric totals. Very detailed and learned
explanations could be developed. Can any of these explanations be supported with an actual Bible verse? In the end they will simply be inventions of a person's mind and open to question.
