    “The Translators Revived” Alexander McClure 1858
    </font>[/QUOTE]I don't understand something about the 7 points provided - the reference you provided is almost 250 years 1611. Are these 7 points from the *translators themselves*, or are they what Alexander McClure thinks? If McClure is quoting the translators, there must be a reference in his book about where he got his information. Can you check this?

    Let me pose another question relating to this topic to get some of you to think:

    Which one of you takes a bible with the apocrapha in it to church, holds it up, and says "This is the word of God"? I suppose that many people were doing that with the 1611.

    The apocrapha hadn't been considered part of the canon by the Roman Catholics till recently before the Kjv was translated. Then, it shows up in the 1611 as "an extra". That makes absolutely no sense. :(

    Maybe it was included between the old and new testament because that was when it was written. Did that ever cross anybody's mind? :confused:

    Nevertheless, the apocrapha was included in the 1611. The 1611 never said that the apocrapha was not the word of God.

    Therefore, if someone who had never read the bible, picked up the 1611 and started reading it, would believe that the apocrapha was the Word of God. The apocrapha teaches false doctrine. I think if I didn't believe the apocrapha was the word of God and was heresy, I wouldn't include it with my bible. Just a thought....

    Horror of horrors! Of course not!

    All those (per)versions add to the Word of God! All I need is my 1611 in the Old English, and I'll be just fine. If people needed any of that garbage to understand the Bible, God would have given it to them back then.

    (Tough luck for the poor folks in 1610, though.)

    :rolleyes:

    try hard,

    The apocraphal books were not necessarily all written during the time between the two. A books like Tobit or Sirach possibly arrived before the last six chapters of Daniel. However, the KJV translators likely didn't know this.

    I haven't held up a bible with the apocrapha in it and said this is the word of God, in so many words, but I have used one with it included between the Testaments for preaching--NRSV.

    Brian,
    I was unable to find where McClure received his information. It is not in the preface of the 1611. Perhaps it is in a later writing of one of the translators. I'm sorry I couldn't be of further help.

    the Apocrapha was included in the Bible as historical Backround durring the "silent Years" of the Bible. Not One of them say Thus Saith The Lord. God did not inspire them.PLUS, if they were supposed to be in the Bible then it would make the Bible falliable. you see it includes the Prayers to the Dead, contardictary statements and many other things like that.

    Prince,

    You come to these books with this notion. Many would say that books like Esther never even mention God (Oh, except in the deutro-canonical form). Additionally, many would say that if you honestly read the Protestant canon, then it contains contradictions as well. Sorry, but it is by usage in the Christian community alone (as was pointed out above, the fact that these books are in Greek may have something to do with it) that certain books are accepted or rejected--it's not based on quality, theology, or historical accuracy. Its all about whether the community recognizes them as inspired.

    If it was ok for the 1611 bible to have the apocrapha included in it(aka between the testaments :rolleyes: ) then why not have it included in the kjv of today :confused: ????

    As long as it's between the new and old testaments, it should be ok. [​IMG]

    I am too [​IMG] But I am so glad it was a new kjv that didn't include the apocrapha, otherwise I wouldn't have known that the apocrapha was not the word of God.

    Just some thoughts in the discussion on including the apocrypha in the AV.

    The baby-baptizing Anglican priests who translated the AV1611 included the apocryphal books because every other translation previously (remember, the AV1611 is just a revision of older English translations).

    Did they equate it with "inspired" scripture? My facsimile of the 1611 shows those books in a separate section (OT, Apoch., NT) BUT in the daily guide for "reading of scriptures", guess what?

    They included daily readings from Apocryphal books!

    Now, if I said we will read the following scriptures:
    John 1 on November 10th
    John 2 on November 11th
    John 3 on November 12th
    Bob 1 on November 13th
    John 4 on November 14th
    You would all rise up and try to stone me. Why? Because I am de facto equating words of the NT with words that are not inspired (by Bob).

    I'll read Bob 1 on the 13th... if I can find it... it doesn't seem to be in my Bible... of course I exclusively use the KJV 1609 which contains unfinished revisions of previous versions. Bob, do I need to update to a KJV 1610?
