KING JAMES BIBLE TODAY

SO WHAT HAPPENED?

Negative arguments :

The translators of the KJB.

English language has changed.

Forget the “Thees” and “Thous” that everyone

complains about.

The Preface.

KJB adopt Latin readings not found in the

Greek.

THE KJB ERRORSGenesis 10:9

KJV Bible: " . . . Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD."

Better Translation: " . . . Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter in place of the LORD."

Comments: The word "before" is incorrect and gives the connotation that Nimrod was a good guy, which is false. Nimrod placed himself in OPPOSITION to God.

THE KJB ERRORSEzekiel 20:25

KJV Bible: "Wherefore I gave them also statutes that were not good, and judgments whereby they should not live; "

Better Translation: "Wherefore I permitted them, or gave them over to, false statutes that are not good,and judgments whereby they should not live."

Comments: God's laws are good, perfect and right. This verse shows that since Israel rejected God's laws, He allowed them to hurt themselves by following false man made customs and laws.

THE KJB ERROR

John 1:17

KJV Bible: "For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

Better Translation: "For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ."

Comments: This is another instance of a poor preposition. Moses did not proclaim his OWN law, but the law that GOD gave him to proclaim.

POSITIVE COMMENTS

K

ing James Bible to be the greatest monument of the

English language, perhaps even greater than the works

of William Shakespeare.

I

s considered as doctrine.

T

he other Bible’s version has worst mistakes that the

KJB.

P

roblems with the old testament.

POSITIVE COMMENTS

CONCLUSION

For most of the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries, the King

James Version was the single most popular translation

of the Bible in the English language.

Quite simply, the best Bible for a Christian to use is

one that he or she will read and UNDERSTAND.
