    This is pretty strange or odd how it worked out this

    way. Even if you are not religious you'll enjoy this.

    What is the shortest chapter in the Bible?

    Answer - Psalms 117

    What is the longest chapter in the Bible?

    Answer - Psalms 119

    Which chapter is in the center of the Bible?

    Answer - Psalms 118

    Fact: There are 594 chapters before Psalms 118

    Fact: There are 594 chapters after Psalms 118

    Add these numbers up and you get 1188

    What is the center verse in the Bible?

    Answer - Psalms 118:8

    Psalms 118:8 (NKJV)

    "It is better to trust in the LORD than to

    put confidence in man."

    Good advice as long as you don't let someone convince you

    that they speak for God.

    so then you could say split the bible down the centre and then you'll find the truth.

    the bible is a two edged sword
    wield it the wrong way and it you WILL cut yourself!

    Hi LeeElder,

    Interesting coincidences (?), but did you mean Ps. 119 for the second part of this:

    Fact: There are 594 chapters before Psalms 118

    Fact: There are 594 chapters after Psalms 118

    How is that scholarly article you were writing for submission regarding the blood issue going? Besides that are you doing anything new for 2002 to publicise the blood issue? When is the last time you and Wayne communicated?

    Hi Lee! Yeah, someone that we both know and love sent this to me a few weeks ago. And it surely does work, by golly! I thought of posting it here, but I thought for sure someone had already done so. So I only posted it on my Yahoo Group, Ex Jehovah's Witnesses California.

    Lee,

    I assume you are referring to the Bible which is used by Protestants. I also find it interesting that our Bible is composed of 70 books. ( The Psalms were originally compiled into five separate books and they remain so divided in all Bibles today. "Book 1," "Book 2," "Book 3," "Book 4" and "Book 5." The five books of Psalms along with the Bible's other 65 books makes 70. ) The Bible often uses the number 70 to denote spiritual completeness. That our Bibles contain 70 books may be a good indication that God has not inspired any other books, such as the Book of Mormon, etc.
