How many times?

Does anyone know how many times God is referred to in the Bible? I have a devious little book of facts and I will give 10 pts to the first person to get it right.

Update:

EDIT> The devious book of facts doesn't actually mention which edition. So the best answer 10 pts will go to the closest to the answer I have. Some good answers so far.

    Bit of a blind question - which version? Being very keen to get to level 2 let me try:

    NIV = 3930

    NKJV = 4155

    KJV = 4094

    NASB = 4188

    All taken from a word search on Biblegateway....an amazing resource for any matters relating to Bible texts in so many different translations.... happy hunting

    PS Just how can you give us points? Is there a transfer system on here?

    I get an approximate total of 4410 from Strong's Concordance to the KJV Bible. I could only count up one column and then count all the columns (and there are a couple of 'left-overs') and tote them up on the calculator.

    I have no "devious little book of facts."

    And probably no 10 pts from you...

    Still wishing you a good day--

    EDIT: Ah, the answerer above gave me a new link:

    http://www.wikianswers.org/

    4473 times in 3893 verses... in KJV.

    and he's got the answer as well, right from (actually Wiki) and Strong's to you, with accuracy and no hands-on fumbling like I did. Okay... thumbs up to that person!
