Answers do not have to be guessed in order
This is from the Cambridge Edition of the King James Bible (Old and New Testaments). All words are exactly as written (eg. saviour is different from saviour's and saviours).
Note: I do not count the Chapter and Verse numbers as they ranked very high in the count but do not contribute to the essence of this quiz. That's not to say written numbers are not to be found here. There are over 13,000 unique words in the text with and over 750,000 occurrences. I have hand picked 50 bonus words which did not make the cut.

	And, lo!, it was very good. Amen.

	Israel was good, so I tried jordan (bonus), Yemen and Oman: Ye, men, O, man.

	Amazing committment to count all the words. What do you do for a living? Have you a lot of time off? Is it well-paid? Can I do it?

	Fruitbat:	Nov 6th, 2011 at 16:25 GMT	21 points
	Took four tries to get "years". On the other hand I got three words for free.

	Meltha:	Nov 6th, 2011 at 16:36 GMT	1 point
	I'm really surprised amen and hallelujah/alleluia aren't in the top 250.

	onemorething81:	Nov 6th, 2011 at 16:39 GMT	46 points
	Kind of interesting that who, what, when, where and how show up, but not why.

	johnspartan4187:	Nov 6th, 2011 at 16:41 GMT	26 points
	@onemorething81: No one knows why.

	can't believe i got 115 words but didn't get jeebus! i'm stunned! also chewypoo these quizzes are great, but you should be made aware of a bunch of software tools, like one called Wordsmith, which linguists use to do this kind of work, should help if you (or somebody else ) want to do a sequel (e.g. koran?) http://www.lexically.net/wordsmith/

	Strategy: type the Our Father (original translation). Worked pretty well for me

	chriskotx:	Nov 6th, 2011 at 18:09 GMT	28 points
	@domotime2: You show typical scoffer's logic. I think hate is the counterpart to love - and it didnt make the list. Good, the opposite of evil, made it with 720 times to evil's 613.

	Nice quiz. :) I love the Bible.

	JustANiceGuy:	Nov 6th, 2011 at 19:56 GMT	1 point
	I'd like to recommend that you specify that this is the King James translation. I made that assumption and got all the "thees" and "thous," but those types of words aren't used in any of the modern translations. I believe the New International Version (NIV) is the most widely used.

	najacob:	Nov 6th, 2011 at 19:58 GMT	2 points
	It had to be King James Version!??

	Tony_A:	Nov 6th, 2011 at 20:17 GMT	17 points
	Some bible translations leave a lot to be desired. I have a Bible that changes John 8: 58 from "Jesus answered, 'I tell you the truth, before Abraham was even born, I Am!'" to "Jesus answered, 'I tell you the truth, I was around before Abraham was born!'" Changing it from Jesus saying I AM, which essentially said that he was equal to God to Him saying "I was around before Abraham was born!" isn't quite the same. I know that the translators are trying to make the Bible more approachable to people of today, but some things just shouldn't be messed with.

	deugea:	Nov 6th, 2011 at 20:58 GMT	15 points
	Should've probably guessed God at some point...

	echelon66:	Nov 6th, 2011 at 21:34 GMT	18 points
	Interesting that with Dawkins constantly saying christianity was a 'fear hell' religion that heaven made it in over 500 times more than Hell. And this is coming from an athiest.

	Colmar:	Nov 6th, 2011 at 21:57 GMT	18 points
	You know you're grasping from straws when you guess 'Nebuchadnezzer' or 'Nazarene'.

	Actually, I'm an atheist and I scored in the 99th percentile. In my experience, atheists tend to be more familiar with the Bible than Christians are.

	ALostForest:	Nov 6th, 2011 at 23:14 GMT	11 points
	@sennomulo I agree 100% with you. A lot of Christians tend to be lukewarm in their faith. I avidly go to church and it's hard to see people who come every Sunday to worship then fill in the stereotype of being hypocrites the rest of the week. I'd say I'm more of a follower and believer of Jesus Christ and his teachings than a Christian.

	I started out listing the words to the Lords Prayer and got quite a few of the answers.

	ALostForest--that's what a Christian is by definition, a follower of Christ, not someone who attends a particular church.
