Omg got it lol!
Thanks @jadetine, Your simple hint was a big help!

The column thing was to much of a hassle on my phone, but i found another way to solve it.
I took a gamble on the first word and after that i just color coded the letters instead of using columns hahaha. A bit unorthodox, sure, but it worked!

Woke up to see it clicked for someone! Woohoo! Ty @jadetine for putting us on the right path for this one. So simple now.
(Glad I went to sleep last night, and really glad we can do these as a group, lol.)

okay maybe i'm just stupid because it's before noon, but what's the key supposed to be ??? because every time i try to solve it, it needs a key, and brute forcing just isn't working. i can see some of the deciphered answer that way but not all of it. having the number of columns or w/e isn't helping me at least.
So when you write the columns, use (number of seals in the bible) letters. After you get that many letters in a column, start at the top of the next column and do another of that many letters. Once you have that many columns of that many letters, (a block) read across the colums starting from the top, going left to right.
Ignore the numbers of letters in each "grouping" in the original code. That's a distraction.

i don't know if i can say this, but for clarification, yeah, you should ignore the spaces in the text.

i'll try this when i get home ajxksksk
Cool.
Also, don't try to read the message until you have your nice, square block of (49, perfect square) letters set up. It hurts.
omg thank you, this is what finally got it to click for me! i’ve been staring at everyone’s hints all night feeling stupid because i literally had no idea what to make of them
alright, so for number 6 I figured out the cipher and then in trying to input the answer, it turns out that I "solved" it all wrong

I think I made the exact same mistake
But your post made me finally realize what I was doing wrong, so thanks!!!

Could someone please help me? I’m so lost.
For puzzle 6?
Thank you for the hints everyone, I managed to get 6 
Also, unsure If I'm jus being dumb, but was there a way to know how many letters were meant to be in each column other than trial an error? I was trying to do nine at first because of how many "words" there were in the prompt.

I was thinking
There are 49 letters. Perfect square. Square root would be first thing to try.

But if jadetine hadn't corrected our initial wrong direction, I'd probably still be trying it the other way.
Ahh thank you!! That makes senseI was thinking

uh, so... still stuck on 6.
i have the decrpyted message, it's the same as what i managed to brute-force anagram and guess this morning, but... it doesn't help. i feel like i'm missing a step between decrypting the message and inputting a code? or am i just like really stupid?
are you writing it in a column, gridlike pattern?

Sorted! I got the code. Great challenge.

i was! turns out i was missing a step after decoding that wasn't super obvious to me because i'm dumb as a sack of hair asdfghjk.
