Dang, I dread having to count them all out myself, but appearently I shall have to do so, look:

Quote from the link:

The King James Bible has 31,174 verses — an even number — so there is no one "center" verse: the center would be a combination of the 15,587th and the 15,588th verses, which do fall within Psalm 118 (Psalm 118:8-9, to be exact).

So they are saying the center two verses of the Bible do not fall within the center chapter of the Bible, as they claim that would be:

This makes Psalm 117, (not Psalm 118) the center chapter of the Bible.

Maybe it's just me, but seems they contradict themselves, and then again, as we know, unauthorized versions have different numbers of verses, being that they choose to leave some out.

Put it on my list...but it really is a nice PPPresentation.


So what would the center two verses be, if there data is so?

Psa 118:8
It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.
Psa 118:9
It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes.

I have revised this message because after further questioning it seems that has been around awhile. I found info on this on an urban myth site.
Here is another website disputing the facts above:
