Is there any meaning or symbolism in the letter Q or the number 17 ? Definetly it isn't a biblical number (3,7,12,40,etc)
EDIT : I knew that it was because Q is the highest level of clearance. I wanted to know why the letter "Q" and not P, D, M, E,X, etc.
17 is the biblical number for overcoming the enemy. Q also is a document or tablet used by Mark and Luke with all of the saying of Jesus.
This^... Quelle is 'source' in German, so the perfect name for the Sayings Gospel of Jesus- AKA Q-Source.
TY, all the scholars I have read, NT wright and such just call it Q.
Gospel of Q is hypothetical because there is no evidence it ever existed.
That is true, but I still wouldn't be surprised if that is why they picked the letter.
