Gary and Cheryl.. Whats with the KJV Is God then an Englishman....Gods chosen people! Are all the other countries pagan if they do not conform to King James of England? Please, and then what of the Billions before the Press , 1,600 years of no Bible... No New testament that is.. All handwrittten in languages most could not read, let alone speak. And certainly not afford to buy.. And there would never be enough of them????? They were so valuable that only the richest Catholic Churches, had them on display for the faithfull to read, Chained to the platform of course.. Devout faithful were prone to fanaticism , and stealling things like incorrupt saints body parts was common.... Of course the New testament alone handwritten was available to the poorer churches... Anyone who could read at all in Europe could read latin, long before they could read their native tongue.... Latin was the vernacular of Europe.. The first handwritten translation in English of the NT was authorised in England circa 900 Ad. I challenge any Englishman today to understand or read it. It still exists in a museum somewher in England.. All of this is confirmed in Protestant Historian sources... Henry and other kings set up National religions, Jesus did not. He established a universal Church, that was a kingdom that was not of this world.

You'll be up to speed with me in no time. I haven't a very long history with this subject at all. I kind of see us coming from a similar background. As a born and raised 45 year old Baptist, I also tend to say KJV, but it's this thing of inerrancy that still has me bugged, I'll tell you. Yes, Dr. Bouw's a purist as far as the KJV goes and believes to be inerrant. But I don't know. I wonder how we can say the KJV is anything without specifying the exact KJV we are talking about? Did you know that when the 1611 KJV was printed it included the Apocrypha? So what gives that we now do not have that in the KJV? If we are going to ascribe some clearer connection to God for the translators of our Bible version, hadn't we better learn just what the true product is they came up with? I have read that our KJV came into existence about 1881. Again, I'm no expert. But I do know that I own two KJV's. One renders the Psalm (I believe it's 93:1 here) as "stablish" while the other as "establish". That's not a big deal perhaps, but it goes to show you there are differences between even the modern printings of the KJV. I'm sure there are vastly more erudite folks to talk about this than myself, however. No, I haven't read Gordon Bane. I'll google him when I get the chance. See, you're already asking the same question I have about the plenum and the firmament. Perhaps Robert or the others will chime in here.
