Hmmm, methinks you misspoke here- Only about a quarter of the six billion or so people in the world today speak English. (according to http://www.britishcouncil.org/english/engfaqs.htm#dcrys)
So I assume you are saying that all of the other nations need to learn KJV English in order to have the Word of God?

An illustration:
Your sinning brother brings a sinful thing in your house. What would you do?
1. Will you kick him out of your house?
or
2. Will you kick a sinfiul thing out of your house and keep him in your house?
Which one do you prefer? -

Corrupted 'CORRUPT'
Oops, another misunderstood word that corrupts our
undestanding of the Bible
2Co 2:17 (KJV1611 Edition):
For wee are not as many which corrupt the word of God:
but as of sinceritie, but as of God, in the sight of God
speake we in Christ.
Strong's sez:
G2585
καπηλεύω
kapēleuō
kap-ale-yoo'-o
From κάπηλος kapēlos (a huckster); to retail,
that is, (by implication) to adulterate (figuratively):
- corrupt.
As usual, Strong's lists what the KJVs use, not what makes the
most sense. But why do the KJVs use 'corrupt'. Here is
a text that preceeds the KJVs:
2Co 2:17 (Geneva Bible, 1587):
For wee are not as many, which make marchandise of the woorde of God:
but as of sinceritie, but as of God in ye sight of God
speake we in Christ. -
Merchandising the Word of God
Yes. I do know the history of the KJV, and I know that much of what I said can (somewhat) be said about the KJV many years ago. I am just wondering what does it mean to "make merchandise" of the word of God. -
but yeah, u're right, Bro Ed--KJBOs don't know what standard they're advocating. they can't finger what exactly their KJB or TR is (altho some have tried :laugh:).
not that that keeps the pot fr calling the kettle racist names, tho! :tongue3: -
This one didn't take long to get out of hand.
