I came across this quote by St.Augustine: >“The good Christian should beware of mathematicians. The danger already exists that mathematicians have made a covenant with the devil to darken the spirit and confine man in the bonds of Hell.” - St.Augustine of Hippo It is my understanding that mathematicians at the time were associated with astrology and numerology, hence St.Augustine's harsh words. Did any of the other early church fathers condemn or write about numerology? If so, was the numerology different from modern Christian/Jewish numerology like the Bible Code or Torah Code?
