Chapter and verse numbers are such a familiar (and useful) part of Bible reading that we rarely give them much conscious thought. In fact, verse numbers are so integral to the way we talk about Scripture that it’s hard to imagine the Bible without them. But those numbers haven’t always been there. The Old Testament has long been organized into sections and subsections; our modern chapter and verse divisions generally (but not always) correspond to the traditional Jewish organization of the text. While the Old and New Testaments have been roughly organized at least since the Bible canon was established, it wasn’t until 1,000 years later that something resembling our modern chapter and verse system was widely accepted.

(My Conversation with Jenny Galleon, wife of Ceriaco Galleon who was rebaptized by James Owens just recently. Ceriaco Galleon was my classmate before in ACTS (Apostolic Center for Theological Studies Bible College a.k.a. "Bodot" in the classroom. This couple lives in London.) After confronting Bro. Ceriaco Galleon "bodot" boasting the teaching of Reckart's camp and his rebaptism, he blocked me in his facebook account; removing me in his friends list; and accused me of being a liar for my sole intention of exposing their erroneous teachings and to challenged them to rightly divide the words of truth by careful studies and research. I tried reaching his wife and send her a private message and got opportunity to talk to her. Conversation 1 (Me and Jenny Galleon):  ME : Lol! James Owens didn't answer me and bodot blocked me.
