Answer 1

Numerology which is tied up with superstition and gambling, has no place in the Christian walk of life!

(there was only one King John of England, by the way) the whole narrative poem ( Deck of Cards) is in monumental bad taste and cannot be taken seriously they did run into problems with nine, by the way. of course there are (Pluto counted- some astronomers do not consider Pluto a planet but is is too big to be an asteroid) Nine Planets in the solar system and it is thought that Dante was (On( to this. it"s p[ossibly He knew Earth was third from the Sun and assumed a geometrical progression- 3 X3 is Nine- there you have it. but that"s all, Brethern.
