Q said learn our comms.  What other comms have their been to learn but coding?    In warfare, you can intimidate your enemy by, wearing their colors/adopting their comms.  We have seen white hats wear purple after the Clinton's signaled their loyalty to the DS by wearing purple at their acceptance of loosing 2016 speech. Is stealing their comms the same tactic?  Intimidation, baiting and insulting the enemy is part of the psychological game of "psyching" the enemy out.  It's the equivalent of barbarian hoards mooning the enemy's line before launching into battle.   By employing the enemies code Q has not only taught us Whitehat's comms but Blackhat's comms as well.  2 birds one stone.   If using Gemantria is evil, then you might as well say that it's evil to do anything they do, merely because they do it; That intention and allegiance have no bearing on if a behavior is sinful. For example, lets look at watching TV.  If you watch TV for the purpose of blocking out the world, rather than partnering with God to live your life with purpose, you are practicing escapism. This is a form of witchcraft and sinful.  But if you watch TV for a few hours for entertainment, not sinful.  There is much more to determining if something is sin then that some bad people have done it.   Would you suggest that in Warfare that we not learn to decipher friend and foe's way of communicating?  WW2 was won more quickly and lives were saved because the allies found and deciphered the enigma machines used by the Nazi's to communicate in code.  Are you suggesting that breaking their code was evil?      If you continue to think it sinful to decode Gemantria, remind me if We go to war to leave you behind.  You are over simplifying and jumping at shadows.  You may want to consider if this is a religious spirit taking root in you.  We all have strongholds of one kind or another.  The more aware we are of those strongholds, the more we can work to remove them.  Or perhaps your just a shill here serving your evil masters.
