The Beauty of Math!

You may have seen this before, but take another look:

1 x 8 + 1 = 9
12 x 8 + 2 = 98
123 x 8 + 3 = 987
1234 x 8 + 4 = 9876
12345 x 8 + 5 = 98765
123456 x 8 + 6 = 987654
1234567 x 8 + 7 = 9876543
12345678 x 8 + 8 = 98765432
123456789 x 8 + 9 = 987654321

1 x 9 + 2 = 11
12 x 9 + 3 = 111
123 x 9 + 4 = 1111
1234 x 9 + 5 = 11111
12345 x 9 + 6 = 111111
123456 x 9 + 7 = 1111111
1234567 x 9 + 8 = 11111111
12345678 x 9 + 9 = 111111111
123456789 x 9 +10= 1111111111

9 x 9 + 7 = 88
98 x 9 + 6 = 888
987 x 9 + 5 = 8888
9876 x 9 + 4 = 88888
98765 x 9 + 3 = 888888
987654 x 9 + 2 = 8888888
9876543 x 9 + 1 = 88888888
98765432 x 9 + 0 = 888888888

987654321 x 9 - 1 = 8888888888

9876543210 x 9 - 2 = 88888888888

Brilliant, isn't it?
And look at this symmetry:

1 x 1 = 1
11 x 11 = 121
111 x 111 = 12321
1111 x 1111 = 1234321
11111 x 11111 = 123454321
111111 x 111111 = 12345654321
1111111 x 1111111 = 1234567654321
11111111 x 11111111 = 123456787654321
111111111 x 111111111=123456789 87654321

Now, take a look at this...


101%

From a strictly mathematical viewpoint:


What Equals 100%? What does it mean to give
MORE than 100%?

Ever wonder about those people who say they are
giving more than 100%?

We have all been in situations where someone
wants you to GIVE OVER
100%.

How about ACHIEVING 101%


What equals 100% in life?


Here's a little mathematical formula that might
help answer these
questions:


If:

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X
Y Z


Is represented as:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19
20 21 22 23 24 25 26.


If:


H-A-R-D-W-O- R- K

8+1+18+4+23+ 15+18+11 = 98%


And:

K-N-O-W-L-E- D-G-E

11+14+15+23+ 12+5+4+7+ 5 = 96%


But:

A-T-T-I-T-U- D-E

1+20+20+9+20+ 21+4+5 = 100%


THEN, look how far the love of God will take
you:



L-O-V-E-O-F- G-O-D

12+15+22+5+15+ 6+7+15+4 = 101%



Therefore, one can conclude with mathematical
certainty that:

While Hard Work and Knowledge will get you
close, and Attitude will
get you there, It's the Love of God that will
put you over the top!

This Love of God is in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:39). Do you have Christ in your life?

Today, you can receive Jesus Christ and His salvation if you believe, by simply and sincerely saying a prayer like this:

"Lord Jesus, I believe you are the Son of God. Thank you for dying on the cross for my sins. Please forgive my sins and give me the gift of eternal life. I ask you to come into my life and heart to be my Lord and Savior. I want to experience your Love and to serve you always."

Word up...

One day Satan and Jesus were having a conversation.

Satan went to visit Jesus in the Garden of Eden,
and Satan came all happy and
boasting. (Lk 4: 1-12; Job 1: 6-12)




"Yes, Lord, now I have
everybody captive,
(well nearly everybody down
there).

I
set traps, I used the baits of temptation,

I know
well what
each one of them can't resist.


I nearly caught them all!"
(I Pet 5: 8-9; Eph 6: 10-17)






"What are you going to do
with
them?" Jesus asked.

And He was praying to God the
Father.






Satan
answered "Oh, I
am going to have some fun with them!"




I'll make them divorce
after they
have married


so the foundation of
humanity will
never be able to be established

"the family" (Mt 19:4-6;
Mal
2: 16)





I will make
them hate
each other and abuse each other,

make them fall into
alcohol and
drugs without control. (Rom 13: 12-14)




I will teach them to make
weapons
and bombs,

so they kill each
other






"I am really going to have
fun!"




"And when you are tired of
playing
with them, what will you do?"


Jesus asked. And continued
praying




"Oh, I will kill them all
and
their souls will
be mine forever"


"Lord "
with all
respect, it's, their decision" (I Jn 3:8-10)



"How much do you want for
all of
them?" Jesus asked.






"Oh, you don't want these
people.
They aren't anything good.


Why do you want them if
they
neither follow you nor love you?


Many hate you! I have seen
many of
them spitting on you, cursing you and even denying
you."


"What's more, they love me
a lot"
(Mt 24: 10-13)




"You don't want these
people!!"




"How much?" Jesus asked
again




Satan looked at him with a
nasty face




"All your tears and all
your blood,

all the pain of the entire
world,
all together" (Is 53: 4-10; I Pet
2: 24 )



Jesus said..."DONE"




"and He paid the price"
(II Cor
5: 21)



How terrible it is that
people
don't seek for God,

and then ask themselves why the world is
going to hell!






How terrible that we seek
the
newspaper everyday to read tragedies


and we never seek the
Bible




How insensible it is how
everybody
wants to go to heaven,


thinking they can get
there
without having to believe,

without loving God above
all things,

or doing what the Bible
says...the
Laws of God.




It is terrible how some
people can
say "I believe in God"

but still follow Satan (Who
as matter
of fact, does fear God)

(II Tim 4: 3-4; II Jn 1:
7-11)




Don't you think it's
pathetic how
they send

each other thousands of
jokes by email,

so they spread like
plagues.




But when it's about the
Lord's messages,

we think about it twice
before we
share them;


and we leave the mailboxes
of our
friends without this message






Don't you think it is
outrageous
that the obscene,

vulgar and crude is
allowed freely
to pass through the internet


that even many people
would desire
to get into the screen.




But it is forbidden to
speak
publicly about Jesus

in the schools, places of
work,

self-help groups,
etc... (Acts 4: 19-20)




Even after
knowing
what He did for us.


Because the Romans didn't
kill
Him. It was our sin.
that we may be
forgiven


and know Him in His glory
with the Father.




Doesn't it seem incredible
to you
how somebody can be a
light

on
Sabbath
in the Church,
worshipping and thanking
the Lord
for His mercy,

for one more day to live
etc.




But during the rest of the
week he
is an invisible Christian! (II Tim 3: 1-5; Rom 10: 9-13)




Does this seem just to
you?


Don't let Satan stop you
from thinking
about this Message and sharing the Gospel

with all your contacts on
the Web or wherever,


It doesn't matter if he
tells you
that many don't believe this

Don't let him get through
with his plans!




Stop worrying about what people may think of you


It is time to worry about
what
"God thinks about you"




Please brother and sister,
pass on the Good News of Christ?


"We just did
it"




May God bless you always
(II Cor
13: 13 )
