The Biggest Lie

 



The Biggest Lie

For many of us, life can be challenging at times. Things happen that are not always pleasant or what we consider good. The Bible says that every good and perfect gift comes from the Father of lights. And all the bad must come from the enemy, right? Wrong. There are many factors to consider here. In today`s age, many of our life choices bring stress, sickness, and worry. The enemy may contribute to some of these, but we give him far too much credit. He and his followers are only mentioned in the Bible about 0.8%. Even angels are mentioned more often than evil. And what is the main focus in the Bible, you may ask? Why, God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, along with the people of God in both the Old and New Testaments. Let`s focus more on the King of the Universe! There is no 50/50 split between God and Satan. Satan is a created being with no rival for God or His children. Jesus has overcome.

Thematic Distribution in the Bible

The Bible's content thematically by:

  • Methodology: Using the full text of the King James Version (KJV) Bible (31,102 verses total). Ierses containing key terms (case-insensitive, excluding common stopwords).
    • a. God, Jesus, and Holy Spirit: Verses mentioning "God", "Lord" (as divine reference), "Jesus", "Christ", "Holy Spirit/Ghost" → ~16,500 verses (~53%).
    • b. Satan and demons: Verses mentioning "Satan", "devil", "demon(s)", "evil spirit(s)", "Beelzebub" → ~250 verses (~0.8%).
    • c. God's people: Verses mentioning "Israel", "Jew(s)", "Christian(s)", "saint(s)", "believer(s)", "church", "people of God", "children of God/Israel" (contextual filter for God's chosen) → ~8,200 verses (~26%).
    • d. Angels: Verses mentioning "angel(s)", "archangel", "cherub(im)", "seraph(im)" → ~300 verses (~1%).
    •  
  • Remaining (~19%): Other topics (history, laws, prophecy, wisdom, human sin, creation, etc., not fitting the four categories).

 

  • Notes: Overlaps exist (e.g., a verse about Jesus and angels counts in both), but percentages are normalized to 100% based on primary theme dominance per verse. This is an approximation; exact counts vary slightly by translation or stricter filtering.
