I have today completed a first draft of 18,700 (60%) of the 31,100 verses in the Bible using the pattern analysis methodology. It has taken 4.5 years. Click here to read more about pattern analysis.
In these 4.5 years, the methodology has become more complete and comprehensive. I have seen where some of my early analyses can and should be revised. The current model is a bit more mature. Maybe I am too much of a perfectionist, but I think that consistency to the model is important and should result in greater acceptance of this work. A second review should also reveal some corrections that were simply missed the first time.
I suggest that the implications associated with completing the New Testament are significant. If I can show one consistent yet complex model for Matthew to Revelation, I have then suggested there appears to be one underlying source behind the entire work, not eight individual New Testament authors. (I also have completed 47% of the Old Testament using this same model.) This is evidence, not proof, for one inspiration. It suggests that we should not be picking and chosing our way through the Bible, but instead we should come to grips with what that original source intended, the God who loves us so very deeply.
0% — April 6, 2016Possibly more important is that I am 98% complete with a first draft of the New Testament. There are eight chapters in 1 and 2 Corinthians that I have not yet analyzed. That 98% represents just the first draft.
