"Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways." Psalm 139:3
The 33rd occurrence of the number 139 in Pi is at position 31415 which are the first 5 digits of Pi. Psalm 139 is the 617th chapter of the Bible and if you count from the first digit in Pi (3) 617 will be centered on the 888th (37 x 24 and gematria of Jesus in the Greek) position in Pi.

Since the Translators To The Reader (preface to the original KJB) makes it crystal clear that ALL earlier translations were consulted, there is definitely a correlation between earlier English Bibles and the Authorized Version. But to claim that it is a "twisted" translations and practically just a reproduction of earlier Bibles is absolute nonsense. To suggest that this was not a new translation out of the original Hebrew and Greek is to make good Christian men (the translators) liars. And that is throwing DIRT of the KJB. The KJB clearly states on its frontispiece:
The Holy Bible
Containing the Old Testament and the New
NEWLY TRANSLATED OUT OF THE ORIGINAL TONGUES
And with the former translations diligently compared and revised by his Majesty's special commandment
Appointed to be read in churches
No one who reads what I wrote in post #1187 would arrive at that conclusion, unless he chose to misrepresent me. I did not say that the KJB is "beyond criticism". But there is a huge difference between valid criticism and WILD ACCUSATION such as "an Anglican twist English translation/transliteration". Since it was regarded as THE WORD OF GOD by Christians for over 300 years (and is still regarded as such by many Christians) hurling contemptuous accusations against this Bible is actually showing contempt for the Word of God. And that is what many have been doing over the recent past.
I make absolutely no apology for stating that even to this day the Authorized Version is the most faithful and reliable English translation (bar none), aside from the beauty of its diction and its legitimate recognition by English language scholars as a "classic" which actually molded the English language.

The fact that the chapter and verse divisions are inspired as already been shown on this thread. The first occurrence of the name Jesus Christ occurs in the 930th chapter of the Bible. Revelation 22 is the 1189th and final chapter of the Bible and contains the 196th (7x7x4) occurrence of the name Jesus Christ.
1189-930 = 259 = 37 x 7 = to the number of times all forms of the word "light" occurs in the Bible (subtract out occurrences dealing with weight).
And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever. (Revelation 22:5) and the 37x7 occurrence of any word of the form "light"

God (case sensitive) occurs 1349 times (19 x 71) in the New Testament of the King James Bible. The first occurrence of this number is at position 759 in PI and the the 9 in 1349 is at position 762 which begins the first occurrence of a 4, 5 and 6 digit repeating string in PI. All forms of the name Jesus occur 983 times in the King James Bible.
134999999837
999999 = 37 x 77 x 27 X 13
The 37 that is joined to the number 983 is the 9th occurrence of the number 37 in Pi and the 7 is at the 770th (77x10) position in Pi counting from the decimal point.

“Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man!” (John 19:5)
For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; (1 Timothy 2:5)
“Behold the man” = 6 times in the King James Bible
“Christ” = 555 (37 x 15) occurrences in the King James Bible and is equal to 1480 (37 x 40) in Greek gematria.

!! Two questions:
(1) Did you check these numbers and facts out for yourself or are you parroting what someone else said?
(If I had the time and thought it was worth the time I would check out your numbers)
(2) If the numbers are right, what does that mean or say? The answer is that is says absolutely nothing about chapter or verse divisions being inspired and it says nothing about the KJV version being the one and only translation.

Hidden Codes in the Bible:: The Value of Pi – Chuck Missler – Koinonia House
Here is an article concerning Pi and 1 Kings 7:23. The ratio this article shows using Hebrew gematria 111/106 is elegantly encoded in word "ten" (the diameter) in verse 23 and also in the phrase "round about" in verse 24 of the King James Bible. This is not opinion. It is fact. Two witnesses back to back. This is not some complicated math.

The King Jame Bible is the Word of God. But this does not mean other versions of the Bible are evil.
Any version of the Bible that can bring a person to Christ is not an evil Version.
Here is my stance on the matter. The KJV is the Word of God, it is the version that satan tried to destroy. It is the version God protected for over 400 years. It is the version that so many of our Brothers and Sisters have died for. The KJV will still be here when Christ Returns.
Other versions of the Bible are NOT the Word of God, but merely other people interpretations what they think the Word of God means and/or should say. Is the Ghetto Bible the Word of God? No. Can it bring people to the Lord? Sure it can.
Are some versions easier to read and understand? sure. Use whatever tools we can to bring the unsaved to the Lord.
Any version that can bring a person to Christ can't be an evil version.
Scriptures reveals this Truth as well. What did Jesus say to the Disciples who said "Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us." What did Jesus reply to them?
"Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me. For he that is not against us is on our part."
So even though all these version have flaws, some few some many, they are NOT against Jesus Christ. Therefore to forbid them is not a Godly thing, and Jesus would say to you "Forbid them not, for they that are not against Me, is for us"
So then even though other versions are not considered the Word of God, they are not evil or wicked, nor should they be condemned.
Here is the problem however with other versions, when people start saying or believing their "other version" is the Word of God. Then it becomes a problem. Because they will choose to believe the "other version" over the Word of God the KJV.
Other version are good to bring people to the Lord, but once a person is led to study and try to apply Scriptures to their lives, should always compare what they are reading from "other versions" the the KJV, which is the Word of God. If then there is a conflict between a verse in the "other version" and the same verse in the KJV. the KJV should always take precedence of any other version of the Bible, as being the Word of God. So if you want to use your version that is fine, but always compare your version to the Word of God, the KJV.
Again, it is not Godly to condemn any version which can bring a person to the Lord. But let us be adamant in informing people that the KJV is the Word of God. Those who view their version as being the Word of God will fight you tooth and nail when telling them the KJV is the Word of God and "other versions" are mere interpretations of the Word of God by people, and is not the Word of God. Some are so against the KJV that even to this very day satan is trying to get rid of it via the help from those who hate the KJV. But they will not succeed no matter how hard they try. Because God is still protecting the KJV even to this very day and will until the Return of Christ.
