There were not chapter and verse divisions in the Biblical texts until way after Christ.
Here Is Wisdom
The canon of the New Testament scriptures was not put together until hundreds of years after the books were written, since it didn't happen immediately, by the same reasoning, the canon itself was not orchestrated by the Almighty and can not be trusted.
I serve the God for which nothing is impossible, how about you?
My God is always working to accomplish His Plan, He neither sleeps nor slumbers in the process.
James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
What you mean is that God inspired the chapter and verse divisions centuries after the originals were written without them?
BTW, chapter and verse divisions are different in many places in the Masoretic OT texts than in Christian translations derived from them. Heck, even in the NT there are differences between the number of verses between various NT manuscripts. In some places, whole sections of NT texts are not in some translations, the Johanine comma for example.
The evidence proves that it was His plan to have exactly 31102 verses in His word, who made man's mind, He is not limited whatsoever to accomplish His purposes no matter how long a time was set to do it.
Differences yes, But that makes no difference to what is being presented here, red herring fallacy, a distraction to divert attention from what Is Shown.
It is not a distraction. If your premise is faulty, the rest is meaningless. For your theory to work, you assume from the start that God inspired the chapter and verse divisions of a particular manuscript which didn't have any to start with.
And if your premise is that He could not or would not do such a work as this, no amount of evidence will convince you otherwise.
