The Center of the Bible

This might seem pretty strange.. But even if you are not a believer, you should read 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

There are 594 chapters before Psalms 118

There are 594 chapters after Psalms 118

Add up 594 plus 594 and you get 1188

What is the center verse in the Bible?

Answer 118.8

Does this verse say something significant about God's perfect will for our lives?

The next time someone says they would like to find God's perfect will for their lives, and that they want to be in the center of His will, just send them to the center of His Word.

Psalms 118.8 (NKJV) "It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man"

Now isn't it amazing how this worked out (or was God in the center of it)?

Before sending this, I said a prayer for you. Do you have a minute? 60 seconds for God? All you need to do is simply say a small prayer for the person who sent you this page.

"Father God bless________________ in whatever it is that you know he/she may be needing this day, And may _________'s life be full, of your peace, prosperity and power as he/she seeks to have a closer relationship with You. Amen".

Now send this page on to five other people and witin hours, five people will have prayed for you, and you will have started a multitude of people to pray to God for still other people. Then sit back and watch the power of God work in your life; for doing the thing that you know He loves.

Faith doesn't get you around trouble, it gets you through it.

(My only question is: Does this apply to the Hebrew, Greek, Latin, and other language texts as well? I'd like to know the answer if someone has heard of this before or will research it. Marla)

Yo Tailgater: Soxs are hanging in there with the Yanks and Phillies are hanging tight with the Braves, maybe will see each other in the World Series. Good luck, JonR

"Father God bless Marla in whatever it is that you know she may be needing this day, And may Marla`s life be full, of your peace, prosperity and power as she seeks to have a closer relationship with You. Amen".

Thanks E, I needed this one today!!!

Happy herf`n

God bless you Marla. Nice post. ;>)

Religion is like money. Both are abstractions invented by people to give structure to their lives. Both religion and money only have value because millions of people agree to pretend that it does.

Religion is like the Superbowl. Millions of people watch some guys they'll never know kick around a ball. Of itself it's of no consequence. It only becomes important because millions of people agree to pretend that it's important.

Religion is a useful fiction if leads people to live better lives. It's a harmful fiction if it leads people slaughter each other. Religion does both. Does religion do more good than harm? Depends who you ask and which side of the gun barrel they're on. For my part I'd gladly trade religion for ethics.

You got that right efm ! JonR

oops - EFM is going to hell ... that's blasphemy dude ...

(next argument coming up - hehehehe)

Religion, doesnt hurt, or kill anybody. Men that cant tolerate others religious beliefs start wars, not God.

It isnt written in any religion that I know of, to kill others or start wars to expand a religious base.

Just like owning a gun. I own many guns. I have a choice, I can use it to protect my family or target practice. I can also rob banks or kill people. If I decide to kill someone, did the gun make me do it? No it didnt, I made that choice.

No REAL God or religion would except violent behavior as a means of spreading the word of God. That is what mankind has let happen, not God.

Mag

I agree completely with efm!! Let the fun begin... just keep it civil! 🙂

I prefer to live my life without religion and I am happy. I respect people who have religion because I see the benefits that comes out of it. I also see intolerance that rises out of religion and its saddening. I meet lost souls that can be in need of religion to give them hope. But no matter what carries you through the day as long as you have goodness in your heart, I am your friend. Take care.

God Bless Marla

There are good points and counter points already. Can't wait to see what the next few weeks bring.

Numerology can come up with fantastic, eerie, spooky things such as this. I have even seen some 9/11 things. Talk about your Twilight Zone episodes.

I like my freedom to choose a religion, guns, burger or chicken, paper or plastic, blonde, brunette or redhead, and anything and everything else.

CHONER -

I'll bet you'd get religous if MAGNAFIDE was pointing one of his guns at you .....

p.s. Who do you talk to during sex?

Choner, I respect you points. But if you are athiest then how would you know a lost soul if you met one?

Only people that believe in God, believe there is a soul. Just curious.

Mag

Actually Mag, Buddhism believes in something like a soul, a state outside of the physical body, yet they don't believe in a God.

And when I refer to a lost soul, I mean a person who is mentally, spiritually, and sometimes physically lost. There are many people who are spiritual yet don't believe in a god.

And Jimmy, a gun to head will make a lot of people believe pigs can fly.

choner

p.s. I talk to the Kirk Douglas when I'm having sex.

Good reply choner!! I talk to Satan during sex, really turns the women on! 😉

Great Post E!!!... I am surprised Spiny has not added to this as yet... there are many unexplained things in the Bible and with God... either way a person wants to view it or counter the points... the real question is.. where are they going to be on that Judgment Day???

I sure Pray to God I'm right beside Him!!!!

God Bless Ya'll!!!!!!

Hog

Sitting this one out Hog.

(besides, we pretty much covered this subject a while back.)

just checking to see if ya was awake Spiny!!! LoL

Hog

WELL!

I thought the disclaimer would stir a few to peek...just as planned, but my motives weren't arguments...glad to see things are moving right along.

I am interested to find the answer to the question that I posed at the end of my original post...anyone know?

ps. God's name does come up a lot during sex, doesn't it...well, I guess it's fitting. He started it! LOL!

Well said Mag.

For those that believe, no explanation is necessary...

For those that don't believe, no explanation will do...

I believe. And I pray for everyone whether they want it or not. Amen as cruiser would say.
