Wrong the 595th chapter of the bible is Psalms 117 (refer to
http://www.christring.org/thinkabout/middleverse2.htm)

And the very center sentence in the King James version of the Holy Bible is
....

"For his merciful kindness is great toward us:"

No, 595 chapters before Psalms 118

> Fact: There are 594 chapters after Psalms 118

No, there are 593 chapters after Psalms 118

> Add these numbers up and you get 1188.

Yes, 593 and 595 add up to 1188 too. But 118 is not the center 117 is the
center chapter.

> Q: What is the center verse in the Bible?
> A: Psalms 118:8

Psalms 117:3

Yes it does!

Yes, but the center of the Bible, the significance you try to insinuate is
rightfully for Psalms 117:3, and that
says "For his merciful kindness is great toward us:"

And that is a much different spin than you want to put on the true center of
the King James Bible.
But if you want significance, why don't you look to the first bibles, not
the modified, editted, censored King James copies????
