Bible Question: I have been tasked with verifying certain things concerning the Bible. Is it correct that there are 1188 chapters in the Bible and the very center is Psalms 118. 594 before and 594 after? |
Bible Answer: Hi, I don't know if that is true or not, but certainly the Psalm has things central to our faith as Christians. For instance verse 22 "The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief corner stone. This is the (Lord's) doing; it is marvelous in our eyes." Compare that also with Matt 21:42 "Jesus said to them, "Did you never read in the Scriptures, 'The stone which the builders rejected, this became the corner stone; this came about from the (Lord) , and it is marvelous in our eyes." I do think that even if it were true, it would be meaningful to believers more than nonbelievers. In other words, it wouldn't be a basic doctrine. I could say that Psalm 118:9 would be central too, KBurgee, "It is better to take refuge in the (Lord) than to trust in princes." Can I get you guys to answer any of my brain-teasers about the five words? Later, Ray |
