.What do you mean he would be OK with it as long as one person changes????
King James shows signs of some work probably due to correct translations. Of course IT WOULDN'T HAVE EVERYTHING in the English version.

What question did you want answered? I already answered why it would be "probably" for the King James version. It's in English so codes wouldn't all be there in tact and the grammar and things change so not every piece of the puzzle might be there. That's the only instance I used probably and in that case I may have answered you about two times then now.
I'm not a fraud I just see the world in a different light than you do. That light should be all over.

I do just read the Bible all the time and every day through the Holy Spirit. If God wrote a book it would be too mundane to not have codes. That and the fact that the odds exceed scientific definition of chance in the universe and are complete sentences. Usually at the absolute minimum skip. Also they look for the same things in non-biblical or scrambled biblical texts of the same exact length as a control and find nothing like this. They also look for words that have the opposite and no meaning to it and find nothing at all that wouldn't already be by chance.
For example:
ad2004.com...
By the way that is how many letters it skips to find one letter so every 5067 letter is a letter it's not many skips for one word. Its one skip one word always at the absolute or close as can be achieved minimum skip.

Scriptures are profitable for doctrine, reproof, correction, and instruction in righteousness among other things. I'm not some fraud. I just don't think you understood the probably. You're on the other side of the fence.

The correct and solid translations that will work in English will still have codes. Other parts might have extra characters or less characters so it wouldn't be the same way as in the Torah or the Tanakh. There it's more clarified. Now next question? That's actually two questions in one three times now but this time its a little more clear.

. So there will still be a correct translation somewhere that will have codes. That's what I'm trying to get at.
Anything translated into english from the bible was mostly guess work and creative editing and more than one version abounds, some in the same language with different interpretations and such
The Word of God is foundational to everything that pertaineth to life and godliness--it is also the standard by which we shall all be judged. Handle it carefully.
As any student of English Bible history knows, the Authorized Version of 1611 was not the first Bible to be translated into English. But even though hundreds of complete Bibles, New Testaments, and Scripture portions have been translated into English since 1611, it is obvious that the Authorized Version is the last English Bible; that is, the last English Bible that God "authorized."
And thus we have our answer. The seven English versions that make the English Bibles up to and including the Authorized Version fit the description in Psalm 12:6 of the words of the Lord being "purified seven times" are Tyndale's, Matthew's, Coverdale's, the Great Bible (printed by Whitechurch), the Geneva Bible, the Bishops' Bible, and the King James Bible. The Wycliffe, Taverner, and Douay-Rheims Bibles, whatever merits any of them may have, are not part of the purified line God "authorized," of which the King James Authorized Version is God's last one -- purified seven times.

That is not how the program works. You type in the skip and it skips that many letters. So if you type in 3403 for the skip and only that, then it will only skip at every 3403 letter all the way through. It's not the beginning or ending of words. I'll do a matrix on the biggest star in the galaxy in English so you can see what I mean. I will post on here.
How do we know that the Torah we have today is the same text given on Mount Sinai? The Torah was originally dictated from God to Moses, letter for letter. From there, the Midrash (Devarim Rabba 9:4) tells us: Before his death, Moses wrote 13 Torah Scrolls. Twelve of these were distributed to each of the 12 Tribes. The 13th was placed in the Ark of the Covenant (with the Tablets). If anyone would come and attempt to rewrite or falsify the Torah, the one in the Ark would “testify” against him. (Likewise, if he had access to the scroll in the Ark and tried to falsify it, the distributed copies would “testify” against him.) How were the new scrolls verified? An authentic “proof text” was always kept in the Holy Temple in Jerusalem, against which all other scrolls would be checked. Following the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE, the Sages would periodically perform global checks to weed out any scribal errors. WRITING A TORAH SCROLL To eliminate any chance of human error, the Talmud enumerates more than 20 factors mandatory for a Torah scroll to be considered “kosher.” This is the Torah’s built-in security system. Should any one of these factors be lacking, it does not possess the sanctity of a Torah scroll, and is not to be used for a public Torah reading. The meticulous process of hand-copying a scroll takes about 2,000 hours (a full-time job for one year). Throughout the centuries, Jewish scribes have adhered to the following guidelines: * A Torah Scroll is disqualified if even a single letter is added. * A Torah Scroll is disqualified if even a single letter is deleted. * The scribe must be a learned, pious Jew, who has undergone special training and certification. * All materials (parchment, ink, quill) must conform to strict specifications, and be prepared specifically for the purpose of writing a Torah Scroll. * The scribe may not write even one letter into a Torah Scroll by heart. Rather, he must have a second, kosher scroll opened before him at all times. * The scribe must pronounce every word out loud before copying it from the correct text. * Every letter must have sufficient white space surrounding it. If one letter touched another in any spot, it invalidates the entire scroll. * If a single letter was so marred that it cannot be read at all, or resembles another letter (whether the defect is in the writing, or is due to a hole, tear or smudge), this invalidates the entire scroll. Each letter must be sufficiently legible so that even an ordinary schoolchild could distinguish it from other, similar letters. * The scribe must put precise space between words, so that one word will not look like two words, or two words look like one word. * The scribe must not alter the design of the sections, and must conform to particular line-lengths and paragraph configurations. * A Torah Scroll in which any mistake has been found cannot be used, and a decision regarding its restoration must be made within 30 days, or it must be buried.
Because its translators strove for accuracy, beauty, power, and literal faithfulness to the Greek and Hebrew texts, the King James Bible has endured as one of the most beloved translations for centuries. In fact, it was unrivaled in its first 250 years. In 1881, 50 scholars developed the English Revised Version, and they had this to say about the King James Version: We have had to study this great Version carefully and minutely, line by line; and the longer we have been engaged upon it the more we have learned to admire its simplicity, its dignity, its power, its happy turns of expression, its general accuracy, and, we must not fail to add, the music of its cadences, and the felicities of its rhythm. The King James Bible is still found in many homes and churches today, and it is living proof that the beauty and inerrancy of God's Word has been safeguarded over the centuries.

By correct translation I mean that the message of the Old Testament in the King James version is spot on. There are few discrepancies.
