Biblical Handles

For the uninitiated, a “handle” in this case is a nickname used on the internet. I frequent Reef Central, and just now my eye caught the handle “john37″. My first thought was scripture reference, so I looked it up.

You should not be surprised at my saying, ‘You must be born again.’ – John 3:7

Now, I have no idea if that was his intent (I did ask and will update if he responds), but I think it’s neat anyway. His name is John, and he’s not 37 based on his birthday, so I have a sneaking suspicion. I’m not talking about spiritual handles, like mine (hisc1ay – I am God’s clay) or another friend’s (bled4me2, which is more witty if you know her), but speaking specifically of scripture-related names that are witty. Have you ever come across anything like this?

Update:
I just got a message back from John. “It was not my intent but as a Christian i’m glad to hear that you looked it up. Always encouraging. thank you. 37 has just been my favorite number since i was little and the numbers 3 and 7 are Biblical so another plus to the reasons i like it.” It’s too cool how I just had a feeling that there was more to this guy that a computer name. :)
