    I think this should be interesting.
    (Use the 1769)

    Once again we see a poll with insufficient answers to choose from. I have KJVs which read in every way you listed, but there is no "All of the above" option. :(

    Once again, you look into it too much. Just pick up your 1769 bible and look up what it reads. No big deal, no tricks.

    For the poll I checked the KJV I use the most in my devotions. I know some of my other King James Bibles have the "other" poll readings.

    The question doesn't ask what your KJVs say, it asks what your KJV says.

    1. Take a KJV off the shelf.</font>
    2. Look up the answers to the poll.</font>
    Easy.

    Nope. Nothing could change my opinion of God's Word. It is as precious to me now, if not more so, that before.

    I assume different answers imply different revisions to the KJV...? Could you please provide a key so we know which answers mean what version?

    Nope. These differences are in the 1769 [​IMG] (Assuming most use that revision today, I presumed that would be the one that people looked to: obviously some make it more complicated than it really is)

    My apologies for not saying that before. :(

    Are you saying there are different versions of the 1769? I think at least one of us is having trouble communicating...

    nope. For some reason or another, different 1769 KJV's read different in some places. :confused:

    As to my knowledge, there are no different versions of the 1769 Bible KJV :D

    Okay, I did a little research, here is a good overview:

    http://www.theanswer.org/biblestudy/kjv_differences.htm

    And here is a short excerpt that speaks directly to this:


    Revisions were made in the years 1613, 1629, and 1638. The revisions made at Cambridge in 1762 and at Oxford in 1769 were significant in that they modernized the spelling. The version in use today is basically the Revision of 1769. However, even today there are differences between the KJV published by Oxford, Cambridge, and Nelson publishers. This would lead to the question, "Which one is the true version?"


    Also an interesting point:


    Finally, for those who feel the KJV is the only "true" translation, the original KJV of 1611 included the Apocrypha. This raises the question, are the Apocrypha inspired by God? If not, how can the KJV be the perfect translation since it included the Apocrypha?

    Thanks K-man and Eric, Hence the point of this poll is to get people to think.

    Which one is corrupt? :D

    The word "corrupt" is a dramatic overstatement; judging from DocCas' comments in the other thread it looks like the Oxford edition contains at least one typo, the Cambridge and Nelson editions might contain small mistakes as well, but I don't know that to be the case.

    But it is the original autograph of Scripture in its original Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic that we know to be infallible. Translations have authority to the extent that their underlying text is an accurate copy of the autograph, and insofar as the translation correctly transmits the meaning into the new language.
