secret messages?

So I found this to be quite interesting... this  acronym for Bible...


Basic
Instructions
Before
Leaving
Earth

o_O. it works quite well too.

Anyway, here's where I get most of my verses & long passages from : http://www.biblegateway.com/

It is very time consuming for me to type out every word from my Bible, but sometimes I refer to it because it is slightly different from the site above. Mine is a Student Bible, so it has little notes and things in there to help explain the text. There is also a time line at the beginning, which is pretty cool because I can see when things happened in the Bible, in terms of the way we date things. My Bible is also the NIV , new international version, which is commonly used in chinese churches. At the back of the Bible, there are coloured maps, which locate geographically where many things happened in the Bible. Although I think some names of places have changed since then, it'd be pretty interesting to compare the map to a modern map, and see what those places are like now.  Most of the maps are in the middle - east/ north africa regions (if i'm reading these maps right).
