    If you don't make excuses, then answer the question. What would convince you of a word change or an error?

    It withered away because the Church of England effectively outlawed it in the 1630's. This is an easily verifiable fact Michelle. But you have habitually avoided real problems with the KJV translators and the Church they belonged to... so it is doubtful that you will learn anything here either.
    Right it has to do with a State Church that decided it wanted its particular version of the Bible to be the only one available.

    Not to long after the American Revolution, scholars began to work on other versions.
    The Holy Spirit can work through even "meanest" version of God's Word... that doesn't make them God's divinely inspired words.

    The KJV is a translation of God's Word. It is NOT His words. It is composed of the word choices of Anglicans who believed in, among other things, baptismal regeneration and persecuting Baptists for their beliefs.

    They were great scholars who built on perhaps greater scholars who went before them such as Wycliffe. But they were no more than scholars. They were not prophets, Apostles, nor holy men of old.

    No one said any differently.
    For one thing, readability.

    Funny: there is nothing there concerning King James and his dislike of the marginal notes in Calvin's Bible. Hmmm.........

    For one thing, readability.

    HankD </font>[/QUOTE]The Authorised Version is not only one of the English Versions of God's Holy Word, it is a work of art. I am a Purist with respect to this language of ours, so I use the AV in its true form, not one of those subjacent posthumous revisions that many in the KJVO camp utilize.

    Despite this, I am not a KJVO. I would use the Septuagint; however, it has the Old Testament and the Apocrypha, but not the New Testament. That makes it quite difficult to read along [sic] if the Pastor is preaching from I Corinthians.

    Hope this post finds you well,

    Any other comments on this subject? I really am troubled by the whole "advanced revelation" concept still but find most kjvo backing away from it rapidly.

    Example:
    God inspired Paul to use a common Greek expression of negating - MAY IT NOT BE!

    The 1611 translators chose to change it completely to a totally different expression of negating - GOD FORBID!

    Now some say that this adding "God" to the quotation was advanced revelation and that the AV "clarifies" and "expounds" and "corrects" the Greek.

    Hmmmmm
