Dr. Chuck Thurston, M.D. looks at unique patterns -what he calls “body codes” -throughout the human body, and their Biblical significance. You are Fearfully and Wonderfully Made. The human body is an incredible thing. We have the ability to think for ourselves. We have the ability to feel emotions and to choose between right and wrong. Thurston and Rives look at “four and twenty elders” that sit around the throne… It’s in the Bible – but is it also built into your body? What about a key of righteousness that sits on our shoulder? And a two-edged sword that the Bible likens to the “Word of God” “quick, and powerful” that discerns the very “thoughts and intents of the heart”? Could these be not only Biblical references, but also powerful analogies that relate to YOUR body?
