I did some simple electronic counting in the King James Bible. It is so easy to use words, without really seeing the significance.
Count | Word/phrase | |
---|---|---|
6748 | Lord | |
943 | Jesus | |
698 | I AM | |
532 | Christ | |
281 | Love | |
61 | dream |
The old testament had 613 commandments: 365 negative, 248 positive. Jesus replaced them with two:
Add to your listOne of the teachers of the law came and heard them debating. Noticing that Jesus had given them a good answer, he asked him, “Of all the commandments, which is the most important?”
“The most important one,” answered Jesus, “is this: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.”
Mark 12:28-31
