    Have you heard a Christian meaning for playing cards?

    Have you come across the 'talk' using a deck of cards? I did today.

    Ace = One true God.
    Two = Old and New testaments.
    Three = Holy Trinity - Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
    Four = Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
    Five = Five wise, and five foolish virgins.
    Six = Creation in six days.
    Seven = God rested on 7th day, and seven is the number of perfection throughout the Bible.
    Eight = The eight people God saved in the Ark.
    Nine = The nine lepers Jesus Healed who didn't thank Him.
    Ten = The Commandments.
    Jack = Satan/the Devil
    Queen = queen of Sheba (some suggest Mary as the 'queen of heaven' but Jesus didn't regard her as more than his earthly mother)
    King = God the Father
    365 spots = days of the year.(364+joker)
    52 cards = weeks in a year.
    4 suits = Approximate weeks in a month.
    Twelve face cards = Months in a year.

    Neat. I've not heard that before.
    Psalm 19:14
    May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
    be pleasing in your sight,
    O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.

    There was a song that came out during the 60's that played on the radio. It was really a story with music in the background, about a soldier caught with a deck of cards at a church service. He was facing disciplinary action and explained that he didn't have a Bible so he used his deck of cards.
