First, read this article.
Now, read the following excerpt from the Preface to the 1611 KJV:
"No cause therefore why the word translated should be denied to be the word, or forbidden to be current, notwithstanding that some imperfections and blemishes may be noted in the setting forth of it. For whatever was perfect under the Sun, where Apostles or Apostolic men, that is, men endued with an extraordinary measure of God's spirit, and privi- leged with the privilege of infallibility, had not their hand? The Romanists therefore in refusing to hear, and daring to burn the Word translated, did no less than despite the spirit of grace, from whom originally it proceeded, and whose sense and meaning, as well as man's weakness would enable, it did express" (Italics added).
The translators of the King James Version simply called the Romanists (Roman Catholics) out for burning, or at least threatening to burn, Bibles. The translators condemned this act. However, the pastor of the article plans to burn Bibles. What the pastor must not realize is that the translators would condemn his actions if they were alive today. It makes me wonder, has this pastor ever read the Preface to the KJV?

this is soooo ridiculous!
ReplyDeleteHonestly, the king james is NOT the most accurate bible. The NASB is the most accurate bible to date, because we now have artifacts and resources the king james translators did not have back in the day. In short, Yes!, they have gone too far.
