    Yep, I checked it (I check people's ability to cut & paste :) )
    That is what it is and Charles quoted it right.
    It is in Both the Electronic & Paper copies of the
    KJV1611 Editions that I have.
    Part of the Apocryhpha, you know.

    Charles, do you know what the word apocrypha means?

    Speaking of showing what something means:

    the Source cited in the OP (opening post) references
    these Lyrics:

    When the moon is in the 7th house
    And Jupiter aligns with Mars,
    Then peace will guide the planets
    And love will fill your heart;
    This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius.

    But the people at the Jeremiah Project don't seem
    to understand what it means (they did get it right
    that the song specifies the New Age goals).

    The current system of Astrology (looking to the stars
    for Truth instead of to God's Revelation of Himself
    in God's Written Word: the Holy Bible) was formulated
    as a Pagan religion in the Babolonian area about
    2500 years ago.

    Unfortunately, that system of relating earthly
    events doesn't take care of the 24,000 year cycle
    of the earth called the Procession of the Axis. The
    North pole of Earth moves around in a small circle
    every 24,000 years. So from 500BC (evidently the system
    existed long before 500BC, but that is when the
    Jews were exposed to it) to 2000AD the
    star signs had gotten two places out of wack -- the 'star sign'
    you were born under was not the same as the actual
    constellations in the sky are -- off two signs.

    Well, the 'age of Aquarius' (we went into it about 2003,
    or was it 1986?, whatever?) event of the song
    is when we go into the age of Aquarius from the then
    current age of Pices (the fish). Well Pices, the fish, is
    representative of the Christian Church -- and
    Aquarius, the water bearer, is representative of
    Paganism - ( :) Paganism is all wet :) )

    Congradulations: 'the dawning of the Age of Aquarius
    means the Astrological Signs are three signs off
    the actual sky instead of only two.
    Sometimes education is good, you know.

    Do you hold the apocrypha to be the very words of God?

    To tell you the truth I don't know yet. Do you believe in it.

    Brother, it was actually stuck between the two testaments, and I do not believe (someone correct me here if I'm wrong) it was considered a part of the canon by the translators.

    But do what you wish, you just might want to read up on it a bit more, that's all.

    It was included in the original version of the King James version of the Bible in 1611.

    Were the KJV translators "inspired" by putting the Apocrypha between the Old and New Testaments ?

    Were the translators inspired themselves, at all?

    They were not inspired a la 2 Timothy 3:16 . The labor of the revisors , was , for the most part , derivative of William Tyndale's hard work .

    I was simply answering the question you raised : " Were the translators inspired themselves , at all ?" Did you forget your own query ?

    Not at all, it is post #33.

    Remember, you began this new discussion with me. I thought there must be something more, I guess I was mistaken.

    From the Wikipedia source:
    The Messiah was there to take Davids throne, and establish His Kingdom, and organizing the people in "koinonia" was the theme of the day. I guess we would call it a benevolent dictatorship, but the point is, this was not to be a man made Communism, but a system under the leadership of Jesus Christ. ie, the Millennial Kingdom. But because of Israels rejection of the Messiah, the Kingdom was NOT established at that time. We later see Paul taking collections for those folks.

    When Truman bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki who lived there(in those cities)?
    I think you may want to re-evaluate your view of Truman ,for the two cities were mainly Japanese CHRISTIANS and Truman knew it BEFORE he bombed them.There were no targets of great military importance,i.e manufacturing plants etc
    Truman was a 33rd degree Freemason and was givin the 33rd degree shortly after the bombs were dropped...................
