    Ed,

    It looks to me from your data that I am not alone in believing that there is a greater difference between the 1611 KJV and 1769 KJV than there is between the 1769 KJV and the NKJV.

    There may be more technical changes (1611-1769 vs 1769-NKJV), but I think there are fewer substantive changes.

    I beleive that there are more
    doctrinal change from those who use the
    same version of the KJV than between the
    KJV and MVs. So obviously i believe that
    there is no doctrine changed between the
    KJV1611 and the KJV1769.

    Anybody else notice the infatuation by the same individual he has over the AV 1611 KJB? [​IMG]

    POR, I think he does it for fun. I know when I was in college, I used to do something similar. My professors didn't think it was so funny, though. ;)

    I don't think that Ed posts the things he does because of his love for the 1611AV. I think Paul talked about something similar to this when he said:

    Phil 1:16
    16 The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds:
    (KJV)

    I think it is evident that Ed alludes to this version in an effort to try and show that the KJVOs here do not really use the KJV. It is a childish, futile effort but hey, it's the best he has.

    Actually, Ed clearly loves the KJV. However, he detests the sin of single-translation-onlyism. When one takes a stand for the KJV, one must denounce the KJVOism false doctrine.

    This sample was not very big.
    Half the people wanted to avoid the question:
    "how different is the KJV1769 from the KJV1611?"
    One third wanted to avoid the quesiton:
    "how different is the KJV1769 from the nKJV?"

    Personally i think the KJV1769 is ½% different from the
    KJV1611 and 2% different from the nKJV.
    But that is personal and a guess. How to tell how
    different is the hard part. Maybe the avoiders were
    right?

    Depends on how you spell "different". The NKJV rearranges word order as well as updating the text, so 2% is extremely low.

    And the massive amount of changes 1611 to 1769 (think, eliminating the apochrypha, all spelling changes, plus major and minor word and doctrinal change) comes to almost 15% of the words. So .5% is unbelievably low.
