What puzzles me about this is that these are the first few words of the Book of John, but why would he call this "the first two or three sentences of the King James Bible"? It doesn't start with John.
The Old Testament starts with Genesis, and I wonder whether Cliff's memory tricked him into thinking it was the start of John, but is in fact "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light....."
Maybe my theology lets me down, but why would anyone consider the Book of John to be the start of the Bible?
Completely agree here, it's strange. But I just thought it was a funny coincidence that the first 6 verses are 392 bytes. But there are so many factors at play here...
