The fingers of Christ: Revelatory?

well, i had the toes of Jesus as the sources of truth, all five, and the ordered length correlation in one foot over the other, and then the five fingers as the five sacraments that,with the lack thereof, pole Protestants between two exremes, Presumption and Scrupulosity. Jesus nails them and situates HIs heart, mind, and body firmly between them, precisely as the Catholic Church and her faihtful are kept balanced by the five sacraments that require the priests, between too much presumption, and too much scrupulosity.

I never could figure out the fingers themselves though , the lengths are too complicated.
Now, it is awesome. The thumb has two bones (from the knuckles), and the other four fingers have three. That is 2 + 3*4 = 14 parts of the fingers total.

Here is what is kewl: the married deacon receives all seven sacraments, goes through five priests (one of which is a bishop for his ordination), and is born and dies.
that is 7 + 5 +2 = 14, like the parts of the finger. What is more awesome is if you count them on fingers, starting with the thumb, then on any finger, the types of sacraments, by the Church’s categories are preserved (Initiation, healing, vocation).

Just follow it:

Thumb:
[Initiation]
  1. Born
  2. Born again, Baptism
Pointing Finger:
[Healing]
3. Go through priest
4. Confession
5. Go through priest

Middle Finger:
[Initiation]:
6. Eucharist
7. Go through priest
8. Confirmation

Marriage Ring finger:
[Vocation]:
9. Marriage
10. Go through priest
11. Holy Orders

Pinkie, when you are weak and dying:
[Healing]
12. Go through priest
13. Anointing of the sick
14. Die, Eternal life, the ultimate healing of death and sin

Kewl, huh?

Coincidence?
 
It takes one finger and one thumb (five bones) to put one zebra cake in my mouth.
 
A hacked account? Surely?

Even if not, this doesn’t belong in the Philosophy forum.

If a post with serious intent, may we not have more respect for our beloved Lord than to speak of Him in what appears to be a creepy way?

If in my puzzlement I am mistaken…

However may the Lord guide us to His truth in the ways He has given, Scripture, and the teachings of the Church.
 
this is not hacked and absolutely serious. But much explanation needs to be given on the more highly likely analogy of the toes, and the theology of Proestantism relative to the five sacraments they lack, the ones that require the priests.

This is not a joke, this is deep stuff

Christ Living Body is the Word of God made visible.

Hence, that some specifics of Chris’t Crucified or Risen Body should image profound and big theology of the Catholic Church is in no wise crazy.
 
Together for Clarity:

The Fingers of Christ: Revelatory?

Well, i had the five toes of Jesus per foot as the the five sources of truth in Catholicism,such that as the toes of one foot fall from left to right, and on the other rise from left to right, in length,so, as we traverse the five sources, on the one hand, the characteristic of degree of truth in a source falls, and at the same time, the evidence for the sources rise.

So that when Christ nails His Sacred feet together on the cross, the more common form of crucifixion seen in Divine Images of the Christ, the toes of one foot are on the top of the toes of the other foot, in one to one correlation, and as one group rises from left to right in height, the other group of toes falls from left to right in height.

The sources, for reference, are:
  1. Trinity and Incarnation Mystery
  2. The Supreme Apostolic Successor
  3. General Apostolic Succession and Oral Tradition
  4. The Written Tradition, or Scripture
  5. Reason, or Natural Philosophy unaided by Revelation
See, then, as we descend the above list, the amount of truth from the source can give starts out highest and decreases as we go down.

But, at the same time, the evidence for each source as legitimate to the unbiased seeker goes up. (The Trinity and Incarnation Mysteries are the greatest source of truth but the least evident, whereas Reason is the least source of truth, but the most evident).

Then, I had the five fingers per hand as the five sacraments that Protestants lack, that is, the ones that require the priests,…

Confession
Eucharist
Confirmation
Holy Orders
Anointing of the Sick

…in that the Protestants that lack these five sacraments tend to be poled between two extremes, presumption and scrupulosity. Jesus nails these extremes in His crucified hands and situates HIs heart, mind, and body firmly between them, precisely as the Catholic Church and her faithful are kept balanced by the five sacraments that require the priests, between too much presumption, and too much scrupulosity.

I never could figure out the fingers themselves though, the lengths are too complicated.

Now, it is awesome.

The thumb has 1 knuckle, and the other four fingers have 2 knuckles.

Each knuckle divides the parts of the finger into one more part than the number of knuckles. Hence, the thumb, having 1 knuckle, has 1 +1 parts, and the other four fingers, having 2 knuckles, have 2 + 1 parts.

In other words: the total number of finger parts on the hand is

The thumb: 2
The other four fingers: 3

Making: 2 + 4*3 = 14 parts.

Here is what is kewl: the married deacon receives all 7 sacraments, is required to go through a priest (or in one case a bishop) 5 times, and is born at the beginning of the process and dies at the end, each at extremes of the sacraments…

That is 7 sacraments + 5 priests + 2 natural steps, born and dying making, 14 total parts of the life cycle of the married deacon, like the parts of the finger.

What is more awesome is if you count them on the fingers, starting with the thumb, then on any finger, the types of sacraments, by the Church’s categories, are preserved (Initiation, healing, vocation).

Just follow it:

Thumb:
[Initiation]
  1. Born
  2. Born again, Baptism
Pointing Finger:
[Healing]
3. Go through priest
4. Confession
5. Go through priest

Middle Finger:
[Initiation]:
6. Eucharist
7. Go through priest
8. Confirmation

Marriage Ring finger:
[Vocation]:
9. Marriage
10. Go through priest
11. Holy Orders

Pinkie, when you are weak and dying:
[Healing]
12. Go through priest
13. Anointing of the sick
14. Die, Eternal life, the ultimate healing of death and sin

Kewl, huh?

Coincidence?

Addenddum:

On the thumb, recall, is two bones,
  1. born
  2. born again, Baptism
the thumb stands apart from the all the fingers and is the strongest appendage.

Too, of all the sacraments, Baptism is the most essential, since apart from Baptism or the desire thereof, salvation is not possible, nor are any other sacraments able to be received.

Coincidence?

Looks like numerology to me.

No, it is analogy, for you could just a soon say, that five loaves and two fish as the sacraments are numerology. That would not be numerology, it would be analogy. Numbers are all over the Gospels, and they surely have symbolic or allegorical meaning. That would not be numerology.
