Maybe I have a 7 in my palm, maybe I don’t. Who wants to know?

To clarify, my palm looks more-or-less like [this](http://www.palmistry.org/images/art0606.jpg) (please ignore the palmistry garbage). Where is there a seven?

I have four sevens and an X.

Under the X there is a little note that says _You are here._

Because if the devil is six, then God is seven.

Don’t ask me, ask [The Pixies](http://dag.wieers.com/debaser/lyrics/Monkey_Gone_To_Heaven.php).

Before I clicked over to this thread I looked at my PDA (a palm m130) . Sure 'nuff, there’e a seven. Does that mean that god is my co_pilot_.  
On my hands there’s a really pointy 7 on the right, and a mirror image on the left.  
Onan did it. Probably the same for **ageless6**.  
😛  
Peace,

Yeah, but Man is 5, so shouldn’t we have 5s on our palms? 😛

The marks on my palms look like less-than and greater-than symbols. Too angled for 7s.

I have a VI on my right hand and an IV on my left. What does that mean? 😉

If Man is 5 and the Devil is 6, then that must make Me 7.

But if I go to hell, then I hope I burn well.

I’ve got so many lines on my hand it looks like a street map of central London.

Eat _lots_ of cheeseburgers.  
I figure that if I do that, the devil will like me and put me with Jennifer Lopez.

God would appear to be a child trying to learn how to write the number. The lines don’t quite intersect on either palm.

Mine both say “kill kill kill kill kill kill”. Is that a problem at all?

I have numerous lines on my hands, but none of them (or the connection of two or more of them) look that much like a seven.

On my left hand I have the letter V, although if you looked at it upside down, it could turn into the Roman Numeral IV, by adding another line.

No matter how I turn my right hand, I can’t turn it into anything. Three lines, unconnected. If you squint, maybe a Roman Numeral III.

Hey! Together…_they add to VII_. :eek: (cue spooky music)

[CENTER]I have an actual number seven in my left hand on my palm. Everybody that has seen it agree it is a seven. There is no question to it’s validity, but what does it mean?I have photographed it. I am a strong believer in YHWH AND HIS SON YESHUAHA’MASHIAC, or Christ Jesus. I am a Messianic Jewess or Judeau-Christian. I have been homeless four times and faced death I can’t recall how many times. I had an NDE in 1999. I almost died as an infant, having been born with Cerebral Palsy. So, I have Him and OUR HEAVENLY FATHER in my life always. I am filled with the RAUCH HAKOIDASH,or HOLY SPIRIT. I am Jewish materially and paternally. I was water baptised like YESHUAHA’MASHIAC with the LDS on 21 July 1991.
